"The Proposition" | Frankenstein: A New Musical Animatic

[@KumaoftheForest]

This leads to a funny scene in my mind of the Monster picking out body parts for his “perfect bride” and just going for the biggest dump truck butt and Victor just looks at us like he’s on the office

[@tiredbutsupportive]

This is too funny

[@ATMOSK1234]

I think in the book they don't use corpses. That's a movie thing.

[@TheOneAndOnlyRocket]

@@ATMOSK1234 No I’m pretty sure they used corpses in the book, you might be confusing it with the musical

[@ATMOSK1234]

@@TheOneAndOnlyRocket he studies corpses in the book, but he says he made the creature out of inanimate matter.

[@boblecat]

@@ATMOSK1234 No he uses corpses and also animal parts i think

[@JonSnow-yf1gl]

I like how the creature sometimes looks hurt by the fact victor doesn’t want him around. It adds sympathy

[@a_mc1569]

It all began because he was hurt from being abandoned after all

[@ThePa1riot]

Interesting thing about this song is that Victor actually gets on board with the idea. Thinking it his penance. In the book, he’s far more reluctant and indeed sabotages the final result himself.

[@danninmatthews5640]

Victor is a bigger monster than Adam, left his family and friends for his work. He knew of William's killer yet does nothing to help Justine or even tell his family to lock the doors and windows. He didn't even tell Elizabeth. Selfish, negligent, and always thinking himself as a victim. Also a moron too, since he's insulting an 8ft man who's faster, stronger, taller, and immune to extreme conditions. Edit: Adam isn't a good person either. He murdered people who related to Victor but had nothing with experimentation. Then developing a sense of entitlement on wanting a woman to love, yet want to force the lady to love him. He and Victor are both both monsters from their actions alone. Victor slipping away from consequences like a weasel while Adam is more a brutish man with a sick sense of wits. I go for Boris Karloff's portrayal of Frankenstein's creation due to being more misunderstood and naive.

[@fernandogonzales9240]

Adam? As in I, Frankenstein? Well, kudos to you for making such a reference

[@trollanlord85]

couldn't agree with you more

[@KingNazaru]

I say they're both awful. Both had believed to have good intentions, but harmed people directly or indirectly. And when people try to call out on them being awful people, they go woe is me and are too angry and selfish to see how their harm is making others miserable. Neither have the moral high ground. Frankenstein is a narcissistic person that's arrogant and doesn't take responsibility for his transgressions. The monster while being pitiable murders people for revenge against his creator. Even those that did nothing wrong to him.

[@KingNazaru]

@@fernandogonzales9240 Actually people have referred to the Monster as Adam for centuries. In the book, the Monster compares himself to Adam as Victor created him similar to God creating biblical Adam.

[@danninmatthews5640]

@@KingNazaru Agreed. 1931's version of Frankenstein is better.

[@KingNazaru]

What a lot of people don’t realize is that both Victor and his monster are both horrible people. One is a narcissist who won’t take responsibility. The other is a murderer who is selfish in a different way and will kill innocent people to hurt his creator out of spite. A tale of 2 miserable people.

[@KumaoftheForest]

Makes you wonder how Mary Shelley would react

[@KingNazaru]

@@KumaoftheForest At what? What I just said? She already knew. She wrote the thing.

[@zackv4850]

I think they meant how modern people see them. Especially the number of people thirsty for a corpse

[@saintsinner4074]

Another is how much Frakenstein’s monster is like Victor, Inquisitive and Judgemental

[@fernandogonzales9240]

The Creature actually looks handsome in a gothic way.

[@casual-owl]

Thank you -- that's kinda what I was aiming for.

[@cjhudson393]

I mean in the book he was described as quite beautiful just some parts didn't look right mainly his eyes being a muddy yellowish look

[@whyareallmynamestaken1382]

That's what hes like in the book, apart from his yellow eyes which terrified victor so much that he abandoned the creature

[@KumaoftheForest]

Just like in the book

[@auroravieracorral1458]

3:32 This part is exactly what I imagined when Victor and the creature are singing together. Well done 👍.

[@Heatstruct]

This was in my feed 5 diffrent spots, I think the algorithm *REALLY* wants me to see this

[@XX-sp3tt]

4:24 Where where it's due to the musical composer, and the script writer. This epic verbose duet is swift cut down back to Earth as a innocent woman is hanged all because Victor didn't want to admit to the true scale of his mistakes, and because the creature believed in "guilt by association."

[@emilylike-the-soup2502]

The flashing glasses at 1:22 were really impressive!

[@happyhaunt6659]

I’m so glad there’s more animatics for this musical, it’s so underrated and you did a great job

[@casual-owl]

Thank you that means a lot!

[@DoctorTalon]

Oh my god, YES!!!! This is an amazing animatic! Thank you for creating this. The Proposition is my favorite song in the whole musical, and it fills me with joy knowing this musical has gotten so much love. The Creature's yellow eyes (reminiscent of the novel) and the grin on Victor's face when he is reignited with the drive to create really steals the show here!

[@casual-owl]

Aww, thank you!

[@trollanlord85]

I love the design of the creature so much,

[@KingNazaru]

It does look like how he was described in the book.

[@vvarx]

CASUAL OWL! AH! Oh gosh, why am I just seeing this now? GREAT WORK - ooh the pitch black hair for the Creature is an excellent choice and I really like the colours you used at the end, with the purpled and oranges! Ah, it’s always so nice to see more animatics of the musical, and I’m super proud of you for this one! Keep it up!

[@casual-owl]

Oh my gosh VVARX. Thank so very much for this, seeing your comment probably just made my day. I'm so happy you liked it!!!

[@RonnieFlare17]

Love this so much! Thank you for making it!

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

As someone who just got into this musical...this is great!

[@casual-owl]

Oh wow thank you!

[@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks]

YES AN ANIMATIC FOR THE PROPOSITION THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@Resobaso]

Maybe I am confused, and maybe its just me, but part of this song the second half shockingly seems triumphant? Like,The Doctor KNOWS this is a bad idea, but like the idea of doing it, or crossing that line one last time is so tempting. Is that the point? I guess if you only ask yourself if you CAN do something, and not if you SHOULD do something, anything is possible.

[@MarioSMG64]

It differs from the book in that way, and honestly I think I like it more. In the book, Victor is against the idea but goes along under threat of death. Here, his hubris refuses to let him quit, and he actually uses Justine’s body in attempt to bring her back (trying to avoid the responsibility for her death).

[@amjthe_paleosquare9399]

There aren't many animatics out there about this song, so THANK YOU for making this!! 😍😍💖💖💖💖 Also, to use the book's original location on a mountain cave... 😍 I LOVE IT

[@casual-owl]

Hehe, you noticed. Thank you so much!!

[@puffchan383]

This is so good! It's so nice to see more animatics for this musical- ♡

[@TheSpectator7]

I love how you're Victor Frankenstein looks so unique compared to many others who draw him similarly, though I laugh Everytime I see him in that Skunk wig! 🤣

[@boblecat]

I love how excited the Creature seems for this. he's thinking of actually having a decent life in some respect

[@hypo.critter]

How come I never commented on this before? This animatic is always a delight to see, I looove this song and especually the beautiful motif from BTMC, the chorus part!Aah, I never get enough of this song. And I like how you included the scenery from the book! It’s nice to see animatics that use their own ideas and take inspo from the og book. Fantastic job, good luck in your next projects! :D

[@casual-owl]

Thank you so much! :D Those harmonies are what inspired me to choose the song, and it was so much fun illustrating the scenery described in the book. Thanks again, I appreciate it!

[@juan56gaming21]

This sounds like a Disney movie

[@sebastianboydtagle0751]

Probably because most Disney movies are musicals

[@nathanmielczarek1970]

This is incredible

[@maile_zeze2073]

Oh this is so amazing!!! I absolutely adore this! 💖💕

[@casual-owl]

Thank you so much!!

[@mifegio]

Omg i love it!

[@farofacreme]

Wow! Amazing!

[@boblecat]

Interesting thing I realized: when they are singing the "life everlasting, reanimation" part, Victor, Adam, and the choir are all just *slightly* out of sync. Victor is blind to everything but his own glory, Adam is solely thinking about having a wife to love him, and the choir (who kind of make me think of the Fates) know the story and know this will end badly
