What the World Needs | Ride the Cyclone Animatic

Oh boy, I am so glad to be able to get this one over with. I admit I kind of rushed through this one, which is simply because What the World Needs is... not that visually an interesting song. Which is fine! It's not supposed to be, and it works wonderfully for Ocean's character. It just means I'm excited to get it done and over with so we can get on with more narrative heavy songs.

Nonetheless, I definitely put my all into getting this one out. The response to my last RTC animatic was incredibly surprising, so I wanted to keep the momentum going with this animatic! I hope I managed to deliver.

As for Noel's Lament, it's obviously going to take a bit longer. It's going to be a lot more scenic, and I want to pace myself a bit more lest I burn out. But I hope you all can survive the wait in the meantime with this.

I think it's kind of interesting how Ocean looks a little desperate in most close shots. Gives me the sense that she's trying to convince herself almost as much as she's trying to convince us...

RIP Ocean, you would have loved Social Darwinism

I love how Constance notices when Ocean says the "organ donor" line, instead of her not realizing until later. I also love how pissed off everyone is at "Some don't make the cut, that's crystal clear-oh.". And I love how tiny Ocean is when she's presenting stuff! 🧡

rip noel, he works at taco bell AND a sandwich shop
maybe the real reason he doesn't have a dating life is cause he's too busy working 😭😭

It’s clear at the end, Ocean tries to avoid dissing Constance again.

[Toria._.]

Isn't anyone gonna mention how deeply fucked the line about Ricky is?? "How long has he got if we feed him through a (I'm not sure that's the exact lyric but yeah)

[dumb_cringe]

Is Jane being the Walmart greeter a legoland reference or am I just insane

[batzdoartz]

[-Commit-arson-]

I love a rabid ocean was for the entire musical

[averynerdybookworm]

I love your artstyle!! I don’t know how to describe it but it almost reminds me of the feeling you get watching animated short stories as a kid?? Regardless it’s fantastic to watch and I cannot imagine the time and effort that went into this! Seriously this is incredible
