Thunder Bringer [ EPIC: The Musical ] Full Animatic

First full animatic! Let me know in the comments if there’s any other epic songs you’d like to see my take on:) #epicthemusical


With this one I kinda wanted to contrast how people imagine Poseidon in those animatics? So less hands on and aggressive, more king of the gods enjoying his time tormenting insignificant mortals… Enjoy🫡🫡

When Zeus came down onto the ship during the "apply all the pressure" and having him bow under the barometric pressure was BRILLIANT.

[astralaegis]

Eurylochus being ready to swing at Zeus is hilarious.

[icythedragongirl]

I like how you made them look like they are actually starving

[prncess.f.the.stars_]

THE FACT HIS PUPILS BECOME THE SAME COLOR AS ZUES'S WHEN HE SAYS 'I KNOW'

[thetiniestninja]

I was not prepared to watch Eurylochus get wiped out then get slammed with that happy image of Polites and Eurylochus. My heart 😭😭

[Zephirite.]

0:51 Whoa, did Zeus just raise the air pressure as he sang "pressure"?? That's such use of his weather powers!!

[kyrinthewarrior]

And I'm scared of this Zeus IMMEDIATELY! He's just enough not human looking, the black eyes, the ears, the cloud hair, the _claws._ Zeus is just barely trying to look human, and it's unnerving,

[UrBoiCyrus]

Him seeing Polites and Eurylochus at the end. Why must you traumatize us?

[johanne]

Zeus manhandling the cloud? Incredible

Zeus yeeting the crew around just to show he can? Spectacular

Odys eyes turning yellow? Showstopping

Zeus taking off into the air? Breathtaking

Eurylochus at the end??? 0/10 pls pay for my therapist bills (jk it was *chefs kiss*)

[ArmusPlays]

The part where Eurylochus is crying while swinging his blade is such a good attention to detail and makes this make a whole lot more sense ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

"Should I stay in the clouds where I belong and judge from above like the god I am? Nah, better go down there and play with them, just because I can"

-Zeus

[evolutionsfavoritemistake]

I like how when Zeus say that hunger was far to great he isnt looking at Ody but looking straight where Eurylcus and the crew are, hes aware of who fucked up here but hes still making the captain choose to be the death of his crew

[WolfAngel]

The parallels are crazy, Europhylus says as the captain he must take the blame, they commit mutiny, hes no longer captain and Europhylus decides to kill the cow despite being warned. Sh*t hits the fan and they go back to calling him Captain again 😭

[marcuskolz]

I absolutely LOVE Odysseus's face at 0:32

Bros like: "shit. It's not just A god here to pass judgement. It's THE god."

[nudgificator]

I *love* the image of Zeus using lightning as a whip so much. Usually people have him use it as a spear/javelin, so the idea that he can manipulate it into something more flexible is really interesting.

[cloudphoenix]

I absolutely adore the use of Zeus's eagle imagery when he's emerging from behind Odysseus, it gives the moment so much weight + the way you animate lightning is *incredible*

[axis]

3:49-3:50
Wait, hold on...
Did... Did you have Eurylocus push Odysseus as if to save him? Cause it definitely looked like that was what he was doing, despite first coming at him with the sword. Cause if your intention was that he went for the attack, but then chose to save Odysseus at the end, that would be painfully beautiful and bittersweet.

[jakeheinrichs]

I love 2:52, when Penelope disappears and there's just Zeus standing in the background looking like some kind of eldritch horror. It's awesome. Great work.

[lordgeneralmilitantdeezy]

This is probably the darkest one cuz none of the other renditions I’ve seen show Eurylochus and the remaining crew slowly getting disintegrated by the lightning.

[apocalypse]

I love how much FUN Zeus is having in this animatic. Like, he’s got no personal stake in this, he’s just making sure Helios gets his due, and it’s not like the crew are any threat to him. He can have as much of a power trip as he wants, and in a weird way that emphasizes his role as a KING more than him being serious about it would. What’s the point in having being king of the gods if you don’t get to show off every now and then?
