#the only reason i havent made an animatic with this song yet is because theres no universal sidestep i can put for it

[sidesteppostinghours]

*whispering softly* it all comes back to you, you little shit

small analysis about why i think this is a really good song for fhr under the cut

—

Is it really a complex or just lacking context/Why would someone go so far to be a walking lie?

this just. sums up step as a character. such a massive chunk of their story is exploring the identities they take up(puppet, step, and vsona) and the reasons why they use each one. why did step decide to be so many different people at once? is it safety? comfort? simply not knowing how to be anything else? the vagueness leaves it open for interpretation. a lot of the song is like this, which is why i find its really good for a wide variety of peoples steps.

Yeah, that don't sound like me/I don't think I'm that guy (enter beginner's guide)

technically not an analysis, but i have a really strong image of step singing all three lines (counting the one in the bracket as a line) with their three identities singing one line each if that makes sense.

Please, excuse our current appearance/I realize that it's quite a mess

this line can be taken as two things. either its step talking about themeselves– most likely post-heartbreak– and how theyre clearly not the hero they used to be. or the line can be about the rangers. the second interpretation makes more sense with the next lines:

And our deepest apologies for all of the noise/We're understaffed and we're over-stressed

i think with the previous lines being an interpretation of step, this dives more into their gripes with their villainy (eg, some steps are overworked, some steps are unsure of their own goals, some of them arent sure if they want to be a villain) and how the it affects their mental state ("the noise" in this case could refer to the stress and doubts, or if you want to get literal, it could be steps endless amounts of brain passengers).

with the rangers interpretation, though, i imagine it being one of them literally describing the state of the rangers at the moment. most likely ortega showing step the hq after the argent incident? in this case it could become a lot more sinister, since theres a lot of room for step to take advantage of the information ortega just handed them.

That I would lose (needed a change of pace)/Oh, I would lose/Between my left and right, one day I'd have to choose (gone without a chance)

honestly? this whole section is the kind of thing id imagine is running through steps mind 24/7. lots of missed opportunities, cutting back and forth, regrets everywhere you turn. and step still has to make a choice now to be better or worse than who they were the day before.

He found the man before him had died

looking in the mirror. finding a dead man. need i say more.

There are soooo many good animatics, Gigi is def one of the best animators out there, when it comes to overall storytelling for Epic for multiple reasons I absulutley LOVE WolfieTheWitche's designs of Odysseus though, its probably my favorite because wolfies animatics are realllyyy emotionally expressive theres also still a handful of other animators, several (most of them ) of which have by now also been hired by Jorge now for offical animatics for the livestreams I actually do highly recommend animatics because they do give a lot of context to the story than the songs themselves sometimes (eg. polites :"), the baby getting dropped etc) while the artists often do take some creative liberties a lot of them do try to combine offical statements from Jorge with whats known about ancient greece and homers odysee to make it into reallyy amazing animatics, and bc i cant resist im going to send you two playlists ive made, one has my personal favorite animatics of each song so far, so that it becomes kind of a movie to watch, and another playlist with p much every full-version animatic ive found from epic so you can check out some more if you want! ive started creating a playlist for animatic snippets but i havent gotten far with it yet https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8aJtnq6T7SnUazf_B9STh5a56HLnm989 Animatics "Movie" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8aJtnq6T7SlN1S56Q-Q3kcqwCYsR55Gv All full version animatics i could find so far the only song we dont have a full version animatic by now is Different Beast but Im hoping we'll get one sooon 👉👈 no pressure to watch any of that ofc, but i do recommend them! (it hurts even more that way)

So what I'm hearing is that you are offering me an Epic movie? Like it's nothing ? And you're telling me "no pressure to watch it" ? GIRL I'LL WATCH THE SHIT OUT OF IT THANK YOU SO MUCH AKKSKSKSJJS

I might end up screaming about the animatics in your asks. I might not. I recommend sleeping with one eye open bestie love youu <3 <3

The Promised Neverland animatics recommendation | Part 2

Hey, it’s been some time since i wanted to bring more attention to some animatics i see on YouTube that deserves more recognition, and you all deserve to see these amazing videos

The post it’s gonna be divided in two, one safe for anime only and the other with manga spoilers

You’re at part 2, the one containing manga spoilers, so if you don’t read the manga watch out there’s spoilers here. To see the part 1 click here

I repeat, this post contains manga spoilers. Continue at your own risk

I was a little in doubt if i should put this video on part 1 or part 2. In the end, I decided this would be the best to open this post

By: @marilode

Ok now, this one is just so perfect. What do you mean this is not canon?

I don’t know if this counts as animatic but i like it so much. Especially that part with Phil, the lyrics match well

Again, I don’t think this counts as animatic but I love this one so freaking much and you all need to see it

Now back to the actual animatics

If you know this song, you probably can imagine how the video will ends

Aaaaaaaaa I find this one so cute

Continuing on the romantic cuteness, LOOK AT THIS

Aaaaa, the moviments are very fluid, the backgrounds stunning, the flashbacks amazing, and Ray’s face is everything. I really love this one. And it makes me think how we were robbed of more moments on the paradise hideout. Again, seriously this Ray is so cute. Oh and the other kids!!! Seriously guys, watch this. Specially if you ship Rayemma

No more romance cuteness because Norman is planing genocide/specicide

Oh this one

The song fits so perfectly it is scary

I love how the video was made

I love this

Watch this

Seriously the lyrics fit so well

This one is made by someone from here! @yabsoi ! Hi!

Oh, what can I say about this one? I don’t even have words. The animation is very good. I love everything. And I also really loved that Ray in the end. Everything here is perfect, I couldn’t ask for anything thing more. (Actually there’s one thing that could be better, Ray could appear for one second more, its like you blink and hes gone. He looks very pretty in your style, and I wish he stayed a little bit more in the screen. (I know this is a Norman video but the panel Ray is lasted like one second.)) Anyway, watch this guys

Another one from someone from here! By: @thedoodlenoodlesuniverse

Oh this video is kinda the reason I watch Tangled the Series. This song is amazing and I love how it was put in this context. The art is amazing, the shadding is gorgeous!! Everyone look so good here. This truly is one of my favourites

Seven walls arc!

This one is super cool and it is short so no excuse to not watch it

And looks like theres a video limit so i guess ill need to do a part 2 to the part 2. Part 2.5?

Anyway, you can find it here

And part one here if you havent seen it yet
