I wanna give a thorough appreciation on this video ... AND SO I WILL!! (these are all my opinions @ me idc asdkfjld) Disclaimer: i don't know the story I'm only working on what i see in this video. I also am not an animation student just someone who stans animation in general. *Composition highlights:* 0:18 oh dear that jump from broadway to "wicked world" definitely sells you in on when the actors change from normal mode to acting mode,,really nicee 2:50 - 2:55 seriously i love that green aura but I also love the emphasis of the magic slowly going down to switch focus on the wielder 2:57 pose

[@rambu8149]

Wow...wow wow What can I say I've never expected to receive this sincere feedback OMG I've been reading your comment for the tenth time It just so grateful aaaa😭 Because I need to keep quiet as a creator(since I hope everyone has their own analysis for the content and I don't wanna put any limit on it) I can't say that much, but I just wanna say your view and highlights are so so amazing and detailed that I'm surprised! Thank you so much to watch and love it. Your welcome and thank you backkk😆 Your comment made my wonderful day too!!! ps. about the shipping thingy I would like to say,,, I rather encourage to do it..? Haha well, they are officially a friend in the comics though... I mean.. why not? shipping is fun😉

[@lunacy5772]

@@rambu8149 ohohh pinned comment thank youuu "shipping is fun" true dat I've seen many a great animatic and I confidently say yours is really up there. The dedication you put into putting all those frames especially in the last part must've taken quite an effort to say the least. Then again the tiny details I could spot here and there made it even more fun to watch,,, Hoping you the best on your future works!!

[@Ttegegg]

Oh hey the power of music

[@pirastarborn2003]

OMG, I was totally thinking the same things. I love the way the wings flow and her expressions when she is using magic. That mouse girl is just so cute and for a moment there I thought they were going to kiss too, lol.

[@sadariuswolf]

Making sure to give this comment more than a thumbs up. I had 100% the same reactions to this. You have invoked these powerful feelings with your incredible talent to more than just a few people. Even if we all can't write a comment like this, know that we are all incredibly impressed, moved and support your work with the same passion and appreciation.

[@AE149823]

1:05 "You can have all you ever wanted..." "I know. But I don't want it... no. I *CAN'T* want it... anymore." I do not know the context, as I haven't seen wicked, but that statement, especially with the images of this piece, is HEARTBREAKING.

[@meiruetsukino3578]

Long story short Elphaba gives up her long standing with to be The Wizard of Oz’s aide and embraces a strange tomb of magic that helped her create Wings on monkeys and a flying broom for herself. Wicked is WORTH a watch if you havent tried it since your comment!

[@SCR33NH3AD]

He's right. Wait till you see the movie with Ariana Grande and Michelle Yeoh

[@kurochi89]

The characters in this scene are Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) and Galinda (The good) back in their collage days when they first met each other. Elphie has been noticing there are troubling signs in the land of Oz while in school and latched onto a kind hearted teacher name Dr Dillimond, who is also a goat. He is the one who got brought attention to the fact that animals in Oz are all losing their powers of speech and are being treated poorly. Elphiba believes the best way to fix the issue is by brining it to the Wizard of Oz. As luck would have it, after arriving in the collage they discovered she has quite the knack for magic and was being summoned to meet him. After arriving however she realizes that the reason these things are happening to the animals is directly because of the Wizard and even comes face to face with a recently dumbed down Dr Dillimond. Her statement of, "I don't want it... no i CAN"T want it." Is referring to her ambitions to work with the Wizard to help Oz. She can swallow her pride and work with him or deny him and work against him which as you can tell in this song she has already decided to do. Hope that wasn't too much of a read lol. But that is as condensed as I can think of making it and hit all the points xD If you ever have the chance to see this play, DO IT! It is my favorite play I have ever gone to, the visuals the song and plot are all phenomenal!

[@serenitysubs933]

​@@kurochi89 it's crazy how the wizard has no power and yet he has SO MUCH POWER.

[@v.v365]

This was perfection, the only thing I would’ve liked to see was to have it tie back into the start with you showing reality again, the audience’s reaction and how the actors ended up when they finished the scene

[@That_Ozian]

Hi okay I??? Really like wicked???? And so there’s dialogue in defying gravity that got incorporated here in some AMAZING WAYS. 1. After Morrible condemns Elphaba as wicked, Glinda notices that Elphaba is trembling and puts a cloak around her- there was a little hand shaky when Eugene offered Wendy the broom and shortly after!! Wendy gave the cloak!!! That made me so happy!!! 2. The spell Elphaba’s using is the same spell that gave the monkeys their wings, she’s trying to do it on herself and gets the broom on accident- as she’s doing the incantation, Glinda is not having it. When she’s had enough she screams “STOP. (Beat) Well. Where are your wings? Maybe you’re not as powerful as you think.” (Enter the broom) AND LEMME TELL YOU When the CLOAK turned into wings??? I lost my mind!!! That was soooo cooool 3. The little picture of Dr. Dillamond!! Aaaaa my heart

[@rambu8149]

I really tried to do my best not only recreating the musical in a different way but also keeping and conveying the important storyline and emotion changes! Thank you so much to find some and it's so grateful!! It makes me happy too🥺 ~From Fellow Ozian😉~

[@valeriehendrickson2456]

the subtle gestures in this are so wonderful. For example, the part in the beginning when they sing “right now,” you can see that their gazes sort of drift aside, like they’re feeling some kind of shame or regret, a feeling you can’t quite place. That, paired with the dynamic motions (the magic and the flying in particular)? This is amazing. I’m literally ranting this is just so damn good

[@baxtronic]

Man, with the additional context of the comics, Wendy/Glynda's choice on the balcony holds new weight: Eugene/Elphaba is offering her all the wonders of the stage, but Wendy's weighed down by the weight of her father, and so can't make the leap. Very impressive!

[@astraregulus2672]

This looks so great, I love the way the characters move, their designs, their enviroments and expressions, it's just- hsfwjsfq

[@I_am_under_your_bed_lol]

hey it's the owl house guy

[@rescueteamstarcatchers]

This is hands down the most beautiful Defying Gravity I've ever seen, if not the most beautiful animatic I've ever seen! The motions were so fluid and the expressions were so sincere and conveyed everything so clearly and perfectly. The character designs were so cute and fit the roles of Elphaba and Glinda well. I can tell you poured so much effort into this so I didn't wanna pass by without telling you how wonderful this was to watch! Thank you for going to this much effort! I hope this comment brings you bliss!

[@xavcast007]

this is really good, but adventure time one still my fav

[@fruityfishboy8414]

The fact that Wendy and Eugene just instantly tap into Elphaba and Glinda as soon as they start singing is just *chefs kiss*

[@Ballira]

The whole body movement, arm movmenet and book animation at 2:01 is my absolute favorite part of this. You really knocked this out of the park!

[@elenafriese891]

Agreed! Honestly, a *lot* of how she uses magic in this reminds me of someone describing Elsa's body language/movement (esp. In frozen 2) looks like "dancing with power" Which, like, I'm sure is a fun parallel to draw with a Wicked animatic, but also... It really isn't wrong, and I am *obsessed* whenever I see that particular kind of magic use grace/sheer joy and comfort in.

[@Midnightromantic]

That's actually the same moment that gives me the hope that this will be a full animation eventually. Because it's got such a smooth flow throughout it that it feels like it's already an animation.

[@araciaearth]

That is also my favourite!!!!!

[@annielepage1466]

Impeccable timing, I love how the big reveals are tied to big musical moments. When she first started doing magic I physically got chills

[@Mothman_In_a_T-Pose]

I legitimately screamed at 4:42-4:47. The _animation,_ the _fluidity,_ the _clean transition._ Absolutely gorgeous!

[@Zephirite.]

I just realized the ending illustrations of Eugene and Wendy are posed like the witches on the "WICKED" cover!

[@studiojayla943]

I love how she just zips to the clouds and her standing on her broom dancing in her way this was a good animation

[@core6831]

This singlehandedly reminded me why this is the most popular song in musical history.

[@karlwilker579]

I legitimately would watch the entire story of Wicked animated like this if I could.

[@grimartist9703]

Okay but the movement and emotion when she says 'proud of your ambition' is astounding, just like the rest of the animatic!

[@lightspots6533]

How to talk to short person: NO: Crouch before them YES: 4:27 Awesome animatic! This song always gives me chills.

[@phox1298]

(Warning this is so so long) I am genuinely so in love with this animatic, I don’t know if I can properly express quite how much I love it but I’m going to try: everything about it is gorgeous. The framing, the poses, the body language, the expressions, it’s all beautiful, and honestly could fool me as professional work. Especially with the added knowledge they’re acting, it makes all the body language and expressions much more meaningful. The way green is used in this is great too. The magic looks amazing, and I love the way it highlights the characters, as well as the lightning bolts. I think what makes the expressions so nice (as well as, again, the body language) is that it’s exaggerated in a way that conveys the emotions well and feels nice with the music. I wish I could say more, but I don’t quite have the vocabulary or knowledge to say why everything is so delightful in this. Instead I’m gonna put my favorite parts cause I want to gush about it (sorry pinned comment I got this idea from you lol): 0:25 I really like the way there’s a clear divide in the beginning before Eugene starts singing, and it’s very satisfying how they each transition into the ‘musical’ world on beat 0:31 I like this bit, again about the slightly exaggerated body language, it conveys their emotion very well (also very fluid) 0:35 I like the way they move around each other, and the way it’s framed shows how they each have to look down and up at each other respectively 0:45 the way each of their expressions go from anger to something more soft is very nice 1:15 this is a very good example of what I mean by exaggerated body language, the way Eugene moves down before springing back up makes for a very satisfying movement especially in correlation with the music 1:51 this whole sequence!! The way Eugene moves looks very nice and is a good set up for the whole book magic thing, which goes very well as the sort of first climax of the song. The movements before that also convey Eugene’s thought process and hesitation very well, and the pause before helps build up that anticipation and makes the book magic thing a lot more impactful 2:02 talking about that this is one of my favorite parts of the entire animatic. The way the magic is used is beautiful and the movement is so fluid, and the hand motions along with the magic and the highlight on Eugene’s face from the magic and Eugene’s facial expressions!!! I can’t help but gush about it, it looks amazing 2:21 the way Wendy moves is, once again, very nice and exaggerated in a way that goes very well with the music (I am going to over use a lot of words in this lol) 2:27 I like that Eugene is still moving here as she looks back at Wendy and does her little arm movements, it looks very nice and also conveys her emotions very well 2:49 this shot right here is very well drawn, the perspective is great and it helps define where the characters are in space 2:50 I like the way the camera pans down with the book, and I really like the shot when it fully pans down to show Eugene, and the expression on her face 2:58 I like the way Eugene looks to the camera and her expression there, and I think the pinned comment already mentioned this but the way the broom pulls Wendy closer to Eugene in set up for the next part is a nice touch! (And nice animation) 3:05 to 3:39 I love the defining shot of Eugene standing with the broom, and the way the broom is used to pull Wendy and Eugene together, and their expressions as Eugene convinced Wendy to go with her, it’s beautiful 3:40 this shot is Eugene pulling Wendy up with her is gorgeous and the way they hold the broom together and the way the magic highlights their eyes as they sing, it’s just beautiful 4:01 the way Wendy’s face morphs from happiness, especially in contrast to the previous scene, to hesitation and the shot of the people as an explanation is very well done in showing her thought process 4:11 Wendy giving Eugene her little cape thing (?) as a way of saying goodbye and Eugene’s understanding, and the whole shot of them holding hands, the perspective there is gorgeous 4:35 Eugene tearing up when Wendy lets go and looking away before she can regret her decision!! The expression is amazing 4:42 this shot with all the weapons charging towards her and her expression and the way she jumps off a second before they can get her!! Amazing 4:46 this shot of Eugene and the clouds swirling around her is beautiful, and the way the green lightning strikes looks wonderful 4:56 I love the way the camera shakes as Eugene does her spell, and I think someone already mentioned this in a comment but the way Eugene used her friend’s last gift to her as literal wings!! 5:01 this whole sequence, with Eugene flying is so fluid and the way the lines and clouds move around her conveys the flying very well 5:04 once again the fluidity and the perspective of this shot!! 5:20 this pose is a favorite of mine, something about it is just very nice and really shows her newfound confidence well 5:43 the expression here either the tears and the blush and the sparkling eyes is gorgeous Ok that’s all, finally. I could say a whole lot more honestly, I could talk about every second but I tried to limit myself so it wasn’t too repetitive (which it still was, sorry I used the same words a lot). Anyways tdlr I really really love this animatic, thank you for making it!

I-- this is so good that I completely forgot that at the start they were doing acting. That immediately when the scene changed from them being on stage to them being in a sort of library I was hooked on the main premise of the animatic. I swear I'd praise it more if I could but words can't begin to express how I love this so much. P.S. I know it sounds overreacting but shivers all over first time I watched it OvO

[@twist_ending7545]

Wdym by that?

[@TheGroon232]

Picking a favorite moment of this is like trying to pick a favorite bite of your birthday cake, but I've narrowed it to the moment at 3:19. We see Glinda notice that Elphaba's hand is trembling. The nerves behind Elphie's giddiness cause Glinda's shift from frustration and pity to empathy and care. She sees that her friend isn't delusional or arrogant; she's stepping into the unknown and needs her friend now more than ever as she faces that uncertainty. It's almost enough to convince her to follow. Almost. This moment sells the scene and the two characters so perfectly.

[@crimsonmoon8649]

So damn beautiful. And I just love how they went from ironically saying "I Hope you're happy now" to genuine hope and care.

[@calihorton2487]

I’d take this animated version instead of the new LA any day. It makes me wonder why they insist on turning fairy tales into “realistic” settings and plots. Now don’t get me wrong “Ever After” and Harry Potter are masterpieces as well as the broadway show.

[@ok-nw8ed]

I'm really glad the algorithm recommended this to me, this is absolutely stunning! I love how expressive the body language is and the scene where Eugene flies through the sky was such a pleasure to see! My heart was pounding so much, it really felt like you were flying right next to her.

[@Stormkrow280]

I think this perfectly captures Gilanda’s conflict: she does want to be there for Elphaba, but she knows the path that her friend is going down is the wrong one, and you can see that in her expressions through this animatic. What’s more, I imagine that after the events of the musical when she’s all alone Gilanda throws a fit, raging and destroying her personal possessions and breaking down as she goes over all the avenues she could have taken to help Elphaba avoid her fate, maybe if she had gone she could have prevented all the things that Elphaba did, because even after everything that the Witch of the West did, she was still Gilanda’s friend.

[@alextheartist3754]

Oh my goodness gracious this is so good! I haven't read the comic and I've never watched Wicked, but the characters' body language and facial expressions made me feel like I know the whole story. I've been trying to start making animatics myself, and this video is a huge inspiration. Let's pray the algorithm shows this to millions more people!!

THIS IS UNDERRATED. You got a new sub! Eugene and Wendy are so cute! How did you come up with their names in the first place? I loved the art at the end! The whole video was SMOOTH, especially towards the end when Eugene was flying! Also, the perspectives and the facial expressions you drew Eugene and Wendy in for each frame gave so much more to the animatic, it felt so short because it was beautiful! 😁 I really loved how you accented the music with the character movements! ❤️ At the end, when Elphaba (Eugene) got her wings from her cape, I WAS NOT expecting that! One more thing… I loved how you started the whole animatic with Eugene and Wendy standing on stage. It really set everything into perspective and they were so cute! I’m more of a performance artist, but you really inspired me to try visual arts too! I can’t wait to see what else you come up with! I actually saw this a few days ago but I couldn’t stop thinking about how GOOD THIS IS!!! Tbh, I almost cried when I saw this for the first time! My favorite Broadway show is Wicked so I was so happy when I got this in my Recommendation page! I will definitely be playing this more often, it was the best animatic I’ve ever seen! You have a talent for making animatics, so continue! Do what makes you happy!

I read your comment a lot and I leave my comment as It's so impressive :) Their origins of the name need a little more story progress so I can't write all in here as it would be hard to explain here 😥 but I'm so so glad you ask the question!(Maybe I will make a Q&A session in the future😚 maybe that time!)Thank you! And I highly recommend trying visual art too! Performance art and Visual art have a lot in common but also have a lot of differences between them I think. And the feature between them is so interesting and helpful! Thank you for your comment my friend have a nice day!

[@happydancer2998]

Hello again! It’s no problem for commenting, you should get all the support you can get for your amazing video! I forgot to say before that I also checked out your Twitter, and I’m excited to see where the story will go from now! I love how most of the pictures are in black and white, I think it conveys the moods in the stories really well! And when the mood becomes happier, it switches to color which I thought was really cool! In this video, I thought that Eugene being Elphaba was amazing bc she’s the odd one in the Twitter stories too! I think they would have a lot in common if they met each other… 😦 Take your time with your videos, with your posts and everything else, no need to rush! I can see how hard you work to make your animatics/other stories/videos the best they can be! I’ll look forward to a Q&A if you ever want to do one! I’ll definitely give Visual arts a try! I’m already excited! 😁 And, It’ll be interesting to see how Visual and Performance arts are similar and different! I hope you have a fantastic day too, and take care 😄

I keep coming back to this video every so often, it keeps finding me right when I'm in the middle of a funk and it always manages to give me the motivation and inspiration to keep going. I'm an animation major minoring in storyboarding, I'm planning on becoming a board artist for my career. It's beautiful animatics like this that make me want to keep going because I can only dream of making something this gorgeous and beautiful and SCRUMPTIOUS like holy guacamole batman this is such good fucking food. The visuals are absolutely stunning, the character acting is INSANELY delicious, and the story you've created with just this song is so enthralling. I am absolutely in love, inside and out through and through with this animatic and the characters and your art and style. It's just ;;;;;;;;; Its so good it is SO so good. Please please never stop creating! I hope you continue to make wonderful things in everything you try ^^

As a fellow storyboard artist, I am the same person who is inspired by amazing animatic and directing in the world.

Your word motivates me a lot too. I'm expecting to see your work someday X)

5:43 The way that Happy is animated though it slaps

[@Tigerlilly22]

It was only a matter of time that the algorithm would recommend me this vid because of how much I love Wicked, and wow. Just wow. This video is a masterclass for this song, amazing work! What I love the most is the vivid expressions and movements in time with the music. The hardest thing about Broadway, especially when I saw Wicked live, is seeing the actors' expressions from a backrow seat. Their voices convey such vulnerability, such commanding emotion that it is easy enough to imagine, but there's something raw and evoking about seeing the emotion on a person's face, and your animation and art captured those emotions beautifully. The slower scenes (like the arms waving and glowing as the book lifted up in the beginning) as the song was building still conveyed so much expression through your characters that honestly this animatic felt too quick, I was just engrossed. Definitely going to check out your other social media, because wow. I love your art!

[@baxtronic]

Man, I've always loved this song, but I legitimately regret not finding this animatic sooner! It's just marvelous! The sheer range of motion borders on outright animation, and that alone is glorious... but it's the expressions, the expressions that take this above and beyond. Both in general and in the context of the in-world recital, the way they transform into their characters is incredible! In particular is Eugene. I've read the comics, so to see her go from this shy and meek little mouse to donning all the spite and scorn of Elphaba is amazing! The scene I keep coming back to is the climax, not just because of how triumphant and epic it is, but the look, the LOOK in Eugene's eyes as she leaps onto the balcony and sweeps her cloak out. Just... incredibly badass. Easily the best scene and the best version OF said scene I've ever seen! I'm following you on both twitter AND here on KZbin, because I simply cannot miss a single showing of these two! In particular... I pray that one day, they do indeed play the Pied Piper. If this is where Eugene and Wendy are now, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be waiting with bated breath to see where they are then!

[@NovaStella_]

Holy cow, your use of emotion and motion from the sfx to the characters embodying their parts was Amazing!! I could almost imagine the pages of the book at 2:50 flipping to the rhythm of the synth notes in the background >:O. I'd love to see more of these two in the musical :D

[@xmikamarble]

YOU'RE SO UNDERRATED!!!! WHAT!? THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF WICKED! HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE PEOPLE WATCHING YOUR STUFF!??!

[@rambu8149]

It's my favorite part of the Wicked too!! Defying gravity... never get old to listen🥰 Thank you so much!! I'm happy that you enjoyed it!!

[@eflat_music]

even two years later, I still got full body chills

[@TheNeven87]

I've never seen wicked, but man, this animation. Knowing when to show motion, and when to not, facial expressions, and uug so good.

[@Pyre]

Every time I don't listen to it for a while, I forget that hearing this song always rips my heart out, then gives it back. This is the first thing I've seen set to the song, other than the scene IN the musical itself, to live up to that feeling. Thanks for that.

[@depressoespresso5904]

I WAS ACTUALLY _JUST_ SINGING THIS SONG saw the cute art and just had to click Edit after watching: THIS IS BEAUTIFUL just truly spectacular i love the backgrounds and how graceful the magic scenes are and the flying scene ITS JUST SO GORGEOUS THE WHOLE THING FROM BEGINNING TO END IS MARVELOUS

[@twist_ending7545]

You should read the comic if you haven't!

[@depressoespresso5904]

@@twist_ending7545 yes i’ve read the comic after finding the videos i love itt

[@galaxmousey7403]

I really like the intros to all of these!! Where ur OCS are on stage before transitioning into them taking on the roles they're playing!!!

[@sophiaredwood5825]

4:22 something about the way the background is used to illustrate the height difference here has me giddy

[@helloworld52093]

선생님의 이런 아름다운 작품을 무료로 볼 수 있다는 것에 너무 감사하고 정말 영상에 감명 받았습니다ㅠㅠ! 초반에 무대에서 뮤지컬 작품속으로 전환되는 부분이나 웬디와 유진의 제스쳐들, 화면 움직임과 전환 같은 무수히 많은 요소들이 전부 대단해서 영상을 보는내내 너무 즐거웠습니다ㅠㅠㅜㅠ 뮤지컬을 사랑하는 사람의 심금을 울려주셔서 감사합니다ㅠㅠ!!

[@haunted_loverboy6537]

Honestly can’t stop watching this video!! I just recently went to go see Wicked on Broadway and and been obsessed! I hope one day I’ll be able to make an animatic like this one of this song!

[@ch-animatestudios]

I really love this animatic! Edit: now that I’ve some time to think, I can say a bit more about why I like this so much. The expressions are amazing, the body language, and just gosh, it’s just really great

[@aprilf00ls]

I’m literally crying, this is so amazing, so clean, so full of emotion, THIS is the reason I’m into animating so much, this is the kind of art I want to make some day Ur incredible and I hope you get the recognition you deserve bc this is a masterpiece

[@ratclown7089]

This is incredible!! All the poses, perspectives, facial expressions, and designs are beautiful! This whole animatic looks so professional and I can’t get over how amazing this is!! Definitely one of my favourite animatics now, I subbed ^^

[@LawTaranis]

The lil mouse character is so cute i just wanna pick them up and squeeze them. 😭😭😭

[@twist_ending7545]

Her name is Eugene Seo! You should read the comic!

[@vinx.9099]

holyshit the flying. i mean obviously the entire thing is amazing, but the flying is straight up out of this world. thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@isaackinsley1662]

I have not the words or knowledge to properly convey how awe inspiring this entire thing was from start to finish. If you told me this was a few steps away from going on television I would have believed you. The expressions and body language between them took my breath away, I wish I could find more works close to this level of skill and dedication.

[@lemonsozu]

최근에 이 노래랑 뮤지컬 노래 애니메이티드 버전에 꽃혀있었는데 보물 발견 ㅠㅠㅠ 아름다워요...

[@grayson7831]

I've never been so sure in my life that someone is going to have 5 million subs in the next 5 years than I am now. This is absolutely incredible and everything about this is so well-made! Passion just seeping out of every pore. The artstyle, the poses, the cool little magic effects and camera angles, so well-paced and professionally made! And everything after 4:40 just... Has me absolutely dumbfounded. I've never simped so much for an animation before. Keep up the good work!

[@erifstine4801]

I've been rewatching this animatic ever since my friend sent me this video, and I CAN'T GET OVER ON HOW IMPRESSIVE THIS WORK IS, especially at this part (4:45 and onwards), must have took you a long time to finish this masterpiece. Keep up the good work!!!

[@phantomknightdragon9166]

I can't get over how AMAZING this animatic is! I've watched this at least 4 times now. From the facial expressions to the expressive poses is just so good. And the simple backgrounds and lines for perspective to get a sense of where the characters are instead of them just standing in a void of color makes a big difference. 4:45 - 6:03 just gives me chills every time i watch it because you helped convey that moment so well! I appreciate how much time you put into this because I know how much work has to be done to make something like this, and I just wanted to tell you that you did a WONDERFUL job!

[@andrewv.9142]

this is so beautiful it's hard to choose a favorite moment but I love the flipping of the pages with the words 'defying gravity' and she turns the cloak from Glynda into dragon wings it's so sweet

[@kylewilson2697]

I just had to say, even though this currently only has this 59k views I can absolutely see this animatic being one of those with 1 mil+ in the future. It's SUPER well put together, every scene screams passion from the maker. I like the unique angle of acknowledging the two singers are performers, it feels like it could be from a hypothetical Wicked cartoon or something, A+ work.

[@deusdragonex]

I've watched this probably 20 times in the last few days. It's so good. It hits every beat perfectly. I love it. When they finally get around to making the live action movie, it would serve them well to take HEAVY notes from this video.

[@asame186]

THE BACKGROUND, THE ANIMATION, HOW YOU DIRECTED THE SCENE IS JUST BRILLIANT

[@easternCriminal]

Yo I am obsessed with this. Your angles. Your expressions. The movements are your characters are so big and expression and then so small and subtle when they need to be. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gaegull22]

너무…너무 좋아서 계속 돌려보고있어요… 다른것도 다른건데 글린다가 둘러준 망토가 엘파바의 날개가 되는순간 되게.. 벅찼어요 너무 아름다운영상…만들어주셔서 감사합니다🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@StevenJQuinlan]

That was absolutely adorable and I love that the algorithm sent me here. The expressions, the genuine emotion, I love that the only real flickers of colour are Elphaba's magic. And not gonna lie, Elphaba being short really kind of works for me as it emphasises her underdog nature

[@Shruti_Vijayakrishna]

2:37 - This is my favourite line in the entire video! I love the emotion of this animatic - I've never seen Wicked or known its story, but within minutes, I care about these two characters - the actors Eugene and Wendy.

[@user-ut4je4mo6y]

4:54 best scene start

[@rambu8149]

😊💕

[@alexandermcgovern1471]

With how old the song is and how I kinda want to write a book that kinda ties into wicked and the wizard of oz. One where the wizard had left a technological trained master over oz as he left to handle abit of training so he could become more. Even learning that oz was facing a problem. So he used his own magic to push to provide elphaba and Glenda powers but knew too much of one power would harm them. So he provided elphaba the gift to use ancient magic while Glenda can use pure magic. Only to return and Glenda is struggling to prevent starvation of the land. To the point the wizard has to use forbidden magic to repair what was done. Not only is he ferocious but seething with wrath as he told his temporary replacement about the two girls!! He even told the so called wizard to grant them access to his tower!! But no!! He deems one evil!! And has her killed!! Now that the real wizard has returned he has decided to just start all over. With a more reasonable race. While letting what may come naturally destroy all of oz!!

WOW WOW WOW!!! Thank you for sharing your time, talent, and hard work with us. It was beautiful

[@ink6048]

I remember seeing this when it was first uploaded, and since then I’ve gotten a lot more into storyboarding and I’ve never fully realized how IMPRESSIVE this is until now. The sequences, the angles, the way the characters interact and their expressive body language-it’s all GORGEOUS

[@valmid5069]

*Spectacular! I love that minor detail that your OCs are practicing for this memorable musical (possibly different skit) and are developing in their assigned characters*

[@ToolkaRoolka]

I CRIED. THIS WAS BETTER THAN WHAT MOST ANIMATED SHOWS OFFERED ME!!! I hope you're gonna become a director and make your own series or a film, cause it's just godlike!!!!

[@rainbowappleslice]

I went to see this musical when I was much younger and I know now looking back that I was way too young to appreciate it but this is so good

[@DJcystrom]

HOLY COW THIS IS AMAZING!!! I was looking up Defying Gravity to listen to (because I'd recently heard how amazing the song is, and I've heard a few other songs from Wicked so I know how good the musical in general is), but I was NOT expecting to find this absolute gem from barely a month ago! I'm definitely sharing this around as much as a I can, it absolutely deserves it!

[@user-ft6tt3tp5l]

Wow.... this is nuts. This is so freaking amazing. The story, the art style, the expressions, the portrayal is absolutely outstanding. I'm literally subsrcribing to you right away. Keep it up! You're amazing!

[@arbiter2630]

i'm very happy i discovered your channel today. you are such a spectacular artist. your art is light, and it helps me see. for in the dark, light is a very useful and helpful rescource. cause y'know, in ways, animation has become dark, and a corrupted genre, in my perspective. you are honestly so much rarer, and special than you would think. and i hope your art shines brighter.

[@randomdoodler2393]

Don't mind me, just rewatching this after a year ago of when this was made. ALSO after reading the webcomic watching this made me realized a lot of theories on what this animation was foreshadowing on the comic series has come to show. I won't spoil it. Though for those who hadn't read Musical Pipers in webtoons. You better start reading it.

[@jessonbelleza6322]

Clicking on this video is forever going to be the greatest decision of my life. This was beautiful, this was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much
