athena's body language in your we'll be fine animatic is so well done??
like the high five part really stuck with me because the body language is so good. she's so clearly reserved and not used to it and the way she makes it a small action is just. yeah. this is a goddess who's not used to Friends but she's doing her best and she's indulging this small sunshine boy.
i love the animatic so much???
I love seeing people notice that because I put so much thought on the way I make the gods move
like, I have this thing (that I was ever really able to show a little in Ruthlessness and We'll Be Fine) that I make some of the most prideful gods have a high reluctance to touch mortals at all.
in my Ruthlessness animatic for example, Poseidon spends the whole song beating up Ody and leaning in to his face, but he never actually touches him with his non-rock arm (and when he does, he straight up wipes his hand right after).
and Athena is a lot more friendlier here, but throughout the whole video she still keeps her head high and her arms folded around her back, only breaking that pose when she feels vulnerable. So when the "high five" happens it feels a lot more impactful.
so pandora is a seer but i love to imagine evan having whack ass night terrors. like he sits up in the middle of the night eyes glazed over talking about the end of the world and bartys just like yeah okay cool, man and then forgets to tell him it happened in the morning
