There Are Other Ways animatics comparison

[@gigi2820]

For some reason youtube won't allow me to upload this as a short???? Lmao

[@ilphaesn]

it’s 2 seconds longer than a minute, riiip

[@MariaGreenwoodArt]

It's bc it's just a little bit too long. If you make it one minute or less then it'll be a short.

[@gigi2820]

OH NO

[@gigi2820]

I didn't know that ARGGGHHH

[@chinesa-ruiva]

PLEEEEASE!! I need the comparision of woudn't you like and done for, do I need to beg? (I know it doesn't have anything to do with your question but this might be the only way to caught your attention)

[@moonimochi]

The new one not only uses colors more accurately, but the shots are more varied. Not to mention the fluid movement. Your improvement and creativity are truly amazing, Gigi! 💙

[@theNaluK]

It is so fluid, it's soooo good

[@moonimochi]

HI GIGI

[@lm7677]

Really highlights how Odysseus’s mustache has slowly receded over the last year lol

[@gremlinshipperontheloose2488]

I love that the newer one makes Circe a much more active character. She's prowling around Odysseus, pushing him onto the couch, putting her hair down

[@VictorGarciaSardaneta]

The new one not only has more frames but it also feels like Circe wants to boink Odysseus

[@LexieWilliams-il3ui]

which essentially what she ends up doing in the myth

[@AngeltashaUK]

Well he has been at sea for like 12 years, sooo yeah hence why he wants to get back to his wife!

[@jetuito]

What I've noticed is that you have a very good grasp of shot composition. That and the poses makes your animatics feel very 'alive' and it's incredibly easy to just polish a little in your mind and get a production-quality result

[@OurLoveIsGodLetsGoGetASlushee]

This is actually so cool!! Seeing them side by side is something I probably never expected, you can see the slight change in the art style, thanks gigi!!

[@ChiaraRavenneSings]

Yeah, it feels way more relaxed and flowing!

[@luluryn8498]

In the 2024 version, I feel like you can really tell that you’ve really become so familiar with drawing their designs!! The art is very clean and the expressions and movements flow beautifully with the characters. The old one DEFINITELY had me on chokehold the first time I saw it though, I rewatched it everyday like it was something I needed to live lmfao (it was)

[@Daphne1758]

The newer animatic is a lot more expressive, the progress is clear and amazing, great job!

[@Madelyn-e1e]

I was absolutely blown away when I saw the new version. The old was is so beautiful too I could never, but you can definitely see how much your art has grown and improved and I’m definitely in love with it and the new taow it will forever be my favorite animatic !🤩😍🤩

[@panda202]

I love everything about the newer animatic and the clear improvement between the two But omg the "So much power" in the older animatic has still got me hooked

[@Oomy-noomy]

In both of them Circe is drop dead gorgeous, so quite frankly they're both amazing animatics

[@FosterF.]

The new one is legit one of the best animatics i have ever seen The use of color, shapes, dynamic shots, use of environment, poses, working with the instruments and sound effects, it’s just so beautiful and felt incredibly creative. I love it so much

[@retrobo6173]

The improvement is inspiring and amazing! Especially 0:49 definitely has good stuff and overall more expressiveness from Circe and Ody!

[@elenafriese891]

It's fascinating that one of the big changes is how much more you've started to use sets in your blocking (the light is motivated now- we're in a very specific room, and the whole business with the loveseat that's such a big location in the new one)

[@pinkajou656]

Exactly what I was thinking!They really feel like they’re in an environment and interacting with and around it.

[@piralos1329]

Honestly my favourite part is all the additional long shots! The lack of cuts speaks to far more confidence in your animation skills, and the lingering on specific scenes, especially with the camera panning around Odysseus to show how he's beginning to spiral under Circe's spell, with her sillhouette creates such a gorgeous dynamic! The new one really shows an incredible amount of growth and confidence in your works, it's amazing!!!!

[@SylviaDragon]

honestly adding the dagger in the new one adds so much more to the whole thing. I like the implication that she was trying to puppet him into giving her an opening and it was his loyalty to his wife that not only helped him dodge the attempt but also made her reconsider altogether.

[@FairFeline]

I adore it when people show comparisons from their past and current versions. The progress always leaves me in awe!

[@DoomPickle490]

Sincerely blown away by how much you’ve improved. The use of color, the sense of movement in the characters with the little details that make them feel really alive, the variety in shots, the better sense of setting in how you convey that they’re in a large decorated palace. Genuinely very impressive

[@igorgracchia5788]

That first "there is so much power" where you animate every mouth movement on Circe is magical, would break me apart.

[@irlfemalemoxxie3621]

I always love seeing the difference between animatics with songs before it’s officially released versus when we get the album and actually are given the proper context to understand the scene and what’s actually going on

[@covexvortex]

your animatic made me fall even more in love with circe ngl

[@IsThatAShortJoke]

I love how the new version starts out with a wide shot and then gets closer and more intimate just like the shift in the song. I also think you did a great job making them both a lot more expressive and using the environment in the song. You also added a lot more moments with Circe invading Odysseus' personal space as she tries to seduce him.

[@wilczus222]

I especially like how you're using more props in the new version. The characters are actually in their environment, not just a void!

[@frederickambaritaa8057]

OMG Circe with her hair down! Now this is a power no mortal can resist....

[@kaiserslim2751]

I love your version of Circe in these animatics! Her design, the way she moves around as she toys with and tests Odysseus. Amazing work!

[@anonymouscausewhynot]

You’ve improved so much! The new animatic is much more dynamic and fluid! Also, that shot of Circe climbing on the bed is.. well, it would have been my bi awakening if I hadn’t figured it out already lol.

[@d-parke5413]

This is so amazing!! I love how the tone of the video changed from kinda uncertainty to fully knowing Circe’s intentions 😊

[@KitMarin]

God DAMN that's a lot for only one year of improvement!! Standing ovation!

[@AtlasDoesTheAnimates]

I like how the new version isnt afraid to show Circe really up and close with Odysseus. Really emphasizes whats happening in the song.

[@random_nerd8235]

this is great! you can really see just how much progress you have made as an artist in a pretty short amount of time!

[@surprisedsock]

the art progress is amazing! i love how much more dynamic and intimate the movement is in the new version

[@ἈσπὶςἈχιλλῆος]

The improvement is so great! The shots and movement in the new version really show the tension and they’re so smooth! Gigi you’re doing absolutely amazing!!!❤❤❤

[@RayGainbows]

The new one is Superb. The animation, the action, the background! AUGH! So good. This is better than how i envisioned this scene playing out. Like i thought i knew what i expected, but you always blow me away. But my heart will always have a special place for the OG. Like Oddy's face at :37 and Circe's from :38 to :40.

[@randomdragons]

Wowww I love seeing how the shot composition and variety of shots changed!! Honestly makes me want to try making more varied shots in my own animatics xD

[@Katie-mk8uv]

both are amazing, but the new one shows so much movement and energy I love it!!!!

[@Multi_fandomgirl]

Thats a huge difference! They’re both very good though!

[@whatamidoingwithmylifehaha]

haha eyes go ⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️

[@pinkajou656]

There’s way more of a sense of plot and progression in the new one, sure they’re singing but actions are taking place and the power dynamic is shifting and it’s infinitely more engaging.

[@armorbearer9702]

Both are nice. I do like Circe blowing some flowers in Odysseus face. It's like she had a hidden love potion in case plan A did not work.

[@liammckay2578]

Even in the relatively short time gap, you can see the improvement of animation. You're doing a wonderful job!

[@_-_Venus_-_]

I LOVE how circe's hands are drawn in the new one

[@arill6370]

The improvement is incredible! I love the way you portray Circe with such movement🙌🏼

[@SophiaWang-EPIC]

WOW! You've improved so much! Your style has become so much more refined and the movements are so fluid!

[@solarsleepless]

they have so much more personality now, it's so cool to see how much your artstyle has evolved!!

[@malenejensen02]

I love some stuff in the old one better, but if I had to choose the new one definitely takes the cake! One thing I wished you kept was the scene 17 sec in. Just put that (transition?) In somewhere! Anywhere! It looked so good 😭 I also liked the first 4 sec better. With the camera ancle at their faces and then at their feet. Loved the buttom of the clothes! Is that wierd to say? It definitely is... Anyway... LOVE YOUR WORK!!!

[@ChiaraRavenneSings]

The improvement is crazy!! I already loved the other one, but the new video is stunning!!

[@MadisonMRS]

Love the updated look!!❤ Great work as always 👏👏 Your art has improved so much since I started watching your videos It’s funny that I’m reading the Odyssey right now as this comes out😂

[@Sawatonin]

I ADORE THE WAY YOU DRAW THEM RAAHHHH 🗣🗣 gonna be listening to the rerecorded versions of the sagas with your style in my brain rent free!!!!

[@VegaTheLyra]

The new version is so much better! It is more dynamic and i love the more vibrant colours you use! Those yellows work so well with the pinks

[@cyntix7841]

Gigi, you are so freaking talented!! ❤

[@RichaSingh983]

Can you pls make a tutorial on how you draw the characters??? I love your vids, and I’m trying to get into animating!!

[@TyrsonX]

I CAN'T ....with this, this is awesome. Your animatics are so top tier!

[@salmascreativitypen4489]

I like how you put more background and shading into your latest animatics.

[@shrujanaram374]

It's interesting that in the old one it feels like Odysseus is still in power and is trying to make a logical decision but in the new one it feels like Circe's dragging Odysseus around and he's trying to resist. Also, I think I spent at least twenty minutes just replaying the part where Circe circles around Odysseus 😭. It is perfection.

[@camburger8263]

The improvements are great! I especially love the obligatory 360 shot!

[@eothe8802]

Wow, i really do like your art, you probably have my favourite Odysseus and circe designs

[@BBear-]

Im glad you updated this animation. You've gotten so much better!

[@LMichaela94]

I never picked up on the discordance in that last bit of this clip of the song until seeing the new version with her pointing the knife ❤

[@SkatKat]

They are both beautiful because you put the effort and care to make them.

[@Evergreenoutsider10]

There are still some moments I like in the Old one, but yes, your skills have definitely grown, and you have made full use of them

[@disableddragonborn]

Idk if you were on the livestream tonight, but oh my gods, that was amazing. I'm still processing everything. Idk if the human brain can handle how amazing your animatics will be, considering your animatics are all amazing, and Thunder Saga is amazing. It'll be like looking at a god in his true form.

[@Creepie-Cake]

There is so much power, so much power with the improvement here. 💕

[@theodoretaylor8027]

The difference is insane. The improvement is wonderful to see :)

[@lolabee1825]

You’ve improved so much I’m actually speechless

[@YourLocalAnimations_]

The newest one has a really good Color contrast between people and Color and Circe looks so much more sinister and cunning ❤ as well as the more fluid animations

[@lubielistki]

been here since your six the musical animatics and i see A HUGE progress in ur art, im amazed!! :00

[@itsallfictional5119]

I love how the new one is much more in line with Circe and Odysseus’s personality’s. Odysseus looks wayyy more conflicted and disturbed at his situation than aroused. And lady Circe is depicted as much more malicious and conniving than before, definitely showcasing how she smoothly flipped the situation to her advantage.

[@IlNeuvillettelI]

Why are your animations so CRACKED That they are better then most animated shows of this time?? Epic The Muzical should have it’s own animated show / movie and you should be the lead animator❤ FAN FACT: When I first discoverd Epic I tought it was from an animated show and the first think it gave me was your animations and I thought they were from it and they were amazing (AND STILL ARE EVEN MORE GORGEOS TO THIS DAY AND I CAN’T BELIVE YOU’VE INPROVED SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS) I love ur work sm❤

[@valentinagaribay2251]

To think that these lips are almost a year apart… your art has grown so much !

[@ElaineCreations]

Ur so talented!! Love ya art!🩷🫰

[@bella_daze3092]

The new one is OUTSTANDING❤❤❤❤ I ADORE IT!

[@karyllfayebagon]

One thing hasnt changed and thats me simping for cerci!!!

[@Panda11J]

You’re amazing at what you do Gigi (also first)

[@raphaelapolinario8111]

The old one is already impressive (coming from someone who'd like to animate) the new one just made attracted to Circe. Like GODDAMN! I know that I ain't surviving her but like I'd be ok with that if I was in Ody's position. Still, really good animatic, can't wait to see more!

[@ethanbalzhiser4331]

Gigi, my friend. Besides the absolute cooking of this video, i need you to make a mutiny animatic asap. I NEED IT. Please my friend

[@Patch-lz9yi]

Love the difference in environment between the two!

[@jackr2287]

The camera angles and change to the release of hair unleash more of that... sensual... element that's important to this scene. Circe is trying to tempt him with all her wiles, and the character design is well equipped for it. The question for him is "if I did give in, would I be able see Penelope again? Would it be worth the price of infidelity?" And the answer he arrives at is... "NO."

[@akaittou]

Damn! I remember when you made that first one and just... it's still great, but holy cow you've also come far.

[@L0tus_the_eater]

No matter what, your art will be beautiful❤❤

[@Sir.chaotic-posssum]

WHERE DID THE BED SPAWN FROM??? I know that shit ain’t made of flowers

[@imank550]

I prefer the new one cuz it's so much more dynamic and intimate and the little fires are perfect ❤ Though I have to admit that I just LOVE the way Circe frees herself in the first version! It's like she's kissing him and "getting through him" and it matches perfectly with the lyric

[@VictorGarciaSardaneta]

Old one: Charming but more friendly vibes New one: Penelope who?

[@abbycollins4820]

You’ve grown a lot in such a short amount of time.

[@theNaluK]

I LOOOOVE those panning shots.

[@DontObliteratetheCommenter]

"Villainess, kitty queen, she's got tricks up her sleave"

[@Enby_Ember]

i think your epic animatics are my favorite

[@tami7992]

You improved so much 💕

[@TheJohnoMago]

cant wait to see gigi as one of the lead animators when the epic musical show finally drops lmao

[@Bugster_Bug]

Woaahhh both look awesome ngl!!

[@amy-hz3jx]

Absolutamente toda esta creación es majestuosa. Qué dulzura de voces y la animación perfecta. Hay genialidad en todo!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Gracias gracias a sus creadores.

[@thermalnuclearwar]

you improved so much!

[@justsomeguywithhalfamustac6837]

yesss thank you I was waiting for this

[@lilly_girl2151]

oh my god. you are an art GOD gigi

[@mivi170]

wow that is a big upgrade and that is a lot to say when the old one was already great

[@number1barbatosimp]

I CAN'T *penelope's theme intensfies*

[@The_HonoredCat]

I'd like to see you make a newer version of Scylla now that the thunder saga fully came out, instead of having Odysseus shocked from all the death it actually shows that he's became truly ruthless enough to sacrifice his men to get home

[@ameliabond5244]

It’s so crazy to see the improvement! It looks amazing, your designs are awesome! Will you be tuning in to the live stream?

[@TheNorthlander]

The amount of taller she is in the newest version is a... intelligent choice.

[@ciarameehanbravo7690]

You never fail to amaze me and all of your fans/ follower’s!!! I am kicking my feet & singing along ( my dad is looking at me and i am “ his lil princess” still in my twenties ) WHO IS UR BOYFRIEND?!! 😤😤😤 I am wheezing and the only introvert in this family
