The Moth and the Flame | Commissioned Animatic

[@SKMichels]

Thank you to Gabrielle Smith for commissioning this project! I had so much fun creating this with you :) Interested in commissioning your own animatic? Check out the guidelines here: www.skmichels.com/contact

The weird wording at the end is due to a translation error, because it’s from French to English, and it’s a condensed version of he chapters from the book, since the main character Jack is supposed to be MUCH older later on in the books, like around his mid 20’s, BUT this happens around his young childhood years of around 8-9, and this was his first meeting with Miss Acacia... I highly recommend reading this book, seriously, no regrets!

[@madmyth3985]

Oh gosh... the music in Jack and the Cuckoo clock Heart is lit but Every time I watch the damn movie I feel like I accidentally did drugs. This animatic is very cute though!

[@NarutoBaby94]

[@thegreyman1575]

YES! THE BOY WITH THE CUCKOOCLOCK HEART! THE BOOK IS AMAZING (the movie needs work tbh I’m not gonna lie) BUT AWE FUCK YEAH!!!

[@supersnails17gottalent72]

0:36 Reminds my of Lucy 😊👏👏 Jekyll and Hyde.. never got over them. Great job once again buddy😂 ! QaA ! How long does it take you to make your animatics? Would you ever take a job on animating?

[@SKMichels]

SuperSnails17GotTalent Hey, thanks! Usually it takes a few weeks to do each animatic (though it also depends on the length of the song, as well as however busy I am outside of working on my drawings). And I would love to be an animator! Or at least a storyboard artist :)

[@s.r.8733]

😳✨❤️

[@RebornXRyuXMukuro]

aaaaawwwwwww pleaseeee more of Jekyll & Hyde !!! please!!!!

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

Can you use some of the songs from "Smallfoot"? "Perfection" "Wonderful Life" "Let it Lie"

[@Noerlyth]

Wonderfull animation and song although the part with tearing of the clothes kinda makes one of them creepy

[@kurrzo]

So awesome can u do ready as I'll ever be next or a Hamilton animation

[@shadowknife333]

When or will you continue doing the Jekyll and Hyde animatic?

[@SKMichels]

Mia Arzuaga Yes, I am continuing the Jekyll & Hyde animatics! I've been busy lately, but hopefully I'll have the next one up soon :)
