I can't help but wonder | Epic: the musical Animatic
Music by Jorge Rivera-Herrans @JayHerrans - Zábava

This scene is so impactful after all the animations you made of Odysseus trying to get back home, amazing!
Odysseus and his son meeting after 19 ish years is just wholesome
0:41 VERY interesting--I always saw the lyrics "for twenty years I never could outGROW YOU--" as bitter on Telemachus's part; after all, the suitors mocked him by comparing him to his stranger of a father.
But here, he's almost embracing the pride the myth of his father gave him, and how that motivated him and led him here. I think that's beautiful.
seeing an aged odysseus and his son who resembles him in his younger years before war tarnished their relationship….. which shows how far both of them have come….
an emotional story, truly
I like how he has features of both parents.
He is long and graceful like his mum, despite looking so much like his dad.
this is… adorably heart wrenching. i cant even think about how many stories telem would hear about his father, but still never truly know him. the way you animated telemachus crying and yet smiling broke me this is so sweet😭
ALSO I JUST REALIZED HOW LONG THIS COMMENT IS SORRY I JUST HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY
I really loved the reunion part in the Odyssey, where Odysseus disguised (thanks to Athena) as a beggar and after meeting Telemachus Athena suddenly pops out of nowhere (to only Odysseus) and pulls off his disguise (basically telling Ody that "your time has come to stop being the absent dad, now have an emotional moment with your son!").
Telemachus (after some inital doubt, like mother like son) jumps into his fathers arms and begins weeping as they hold eachother. Pause for a moment to absorb the feels.
Anyway the point I was trying to make was your animatic does a great job at recreating that heartwarming feeling you get from reading the reunion for the first time. Fantastic job!
All the EMOTIONS and how you deliberately changed the frames just a little to show all the subtle expressions. AMAZING. WE ALL LOVE THIS, LIKE ALWAYS
Oh gigi, you did such a good job. Your Telemachus is my favorite. I love his fluffy hair, he looks so much like his daddy. I can tell you're going to absolutely rip out my heart and smash it on the ground and I'm going to thank you for it
This is so cool! I love there interactions, and how Telemachus just lets out all those tears ❤🥹
This sweet boy held it for far too long and God, i wanna give him
a hug after Odysseus! 💙😭
When dad comes back with a life time supply of milk 😢
*HOLY CRAP ITS WAY TOO EARLY FOR THIS BUT I APPRECIATE THIS AND LOVE THIS SO MUCH-*
Okay, time for a lil analyzing-
I don’t know if anyone noticed this, or I may be overthinking this, but at 0:15, notice how Telemachus’ pose is similar to Penelope’s in The Challenge animatic. The lyric is adding to this as well, “Thought about your name so much, it hurts.” Once again, I may be overthinking this, but this has to be intentional, with Telemachus most likely saying what Penelope was thinking for at least 20 years while Odysseus was gone.
Gigi, how could you do this to me, again!?!
I'm *internally* crying right now! I just can't take it. Bittersweet overload!!!!
Aside from that, you are very creative with these animatics. You just do these SO WELL!!! It's like **chef's kiss**
I kinda like the change from the book of Telemachus finally meets Odysseus AFTER the death of the suitors, thematically it's more dramatic.
HSHDHHDHDH ODYSSEUS AND TELEMACHUS FINALLY SEEJNG EACHOTHER AFTER NEARLY TWO DECADES!! Seriously love this so much!! It really captures the emotions of the reunion
Loving the subtle expressions in this one gigi, youve outdone yourself!!!
MY SON I'M FINALLY HOME~
Bro woke up and chose to make me personally cry
This is epic hehe no pun intended
I'm a simple person. I see a new gigi animatic in my notifications, I drop everything and watch it.
Excellent as always!
Earlier:
Telemachus: 'Mother, I hate these vile suitors, they never leave, they all want to claim you as Queen just so they can rule as King. Let me fight them!'
Penelope: 'My son, you are brave and bold, but it is age and treachery that can defeat youth and skill. If you oppose the suitors, they would unite and kill you. But if only your father was here . . . he would think of a plan to deal with them all in one fell swoop.'
Later:
Following Odysseus and Telemachus' revenge on the suitors.
Nice to meet a man who lives up to his legend.
Augh my heart!!!!! God I love the angles you use. The zoomed out part!!! They are so small and human in that moment im gonna cry
Welp- I didn't think I'd cry today- but here we are!! (ITS SO BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL)
This animatic really is incredible and incredibly animated. I want to mention the quote from the official clip about the song which is *a reunion for one, a meeting for another* :_)
Well, this was freaking awesome. now we just need a part 2 for Odysseus' part and this will become legendary.
wow this animatic is already so good.
can't imagine how nice it must looks without all these tears in my eyes
You captured the essence of this snippet of the song so beautifully that it's aghh!!
Odysseus and Telemachus' faces when they saw each other at the start is a treasure to behold.
I'm in love with with the way you make the subtle changes in their expressions impact the whole scene a lot. 😭💖
WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME CRY LIKE THIS?!! 😭😭😢
it almost makes me cry
No joke, I actually almost cried watching this.
Gosh, this song makes me sappy. I love this so much.
[TELEMACHUS]
All my life, I'd have died to meet you
Thought about your name so much it hurts
For twenty years I'd dreamt of how I'd greet you
Oh, and now you're here
I can't find the words
All my life I'd have died to know you
Days and nights I wish that I could show you
For twenty years I never could outgrow you
Oh, and now you're here
I can't help but wonder
What your world must be
If we're like each other
If I have your strength in me
I can't help but feel like
Sorrow's all I've known
And I can't help but realize
For so long I've felt alone
[ODYSSEUS]
Oh my son, look how much you've grown
Oh my boy, the sweetest joy I've known
Twenty years ago I held you in my arms
How time has flown, oh
Used to say I'd make the storm clouds cry for you
Used to say I'd capture wind and sky for you
Held you in my arms prepared to die for you, oh
How times has flown
I can only wonder
What your world has been
Things you've had to suffer
And the strength you hold within
All I've ever wanted
Was to reunite with my own
20 years we've wandered
But today you're not alone
My son, I'm finally home
THE WAY THAT YOU MADE TELEMACHUS LOOK LIKE A MIX OF PENELOPE AND ODYSSEUS MAKES ME CRY.
Im not crying, you're crying 😭😭
i love how shy tlem looks
OMG STOPPP THIS IS SO GOOD!!! IMMA GO CRY NOW- 😭
I cried my heart OUT- 😭😭
PS: your work is so so beautiful! Keep going!!
"this is all I did, have this drawing" gigi I love you
i don't know if its just the silhouette, but i think Telemachus also looks like his mom 😍😍
BROOO GIGI YOU LEFT ME A CRYING MESS 😭
Awww my precious boy🥺
My god this is great again
AHH this is such an emotional scene!! It makes me sad but also happy
IM SO IN LOVE WITH YOUR TELEMACUS DESIGN?? I WANNA SQUISH HIM GAHHHH
when the full song eventually gets released i'm SO gonna cry bro 😭
HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS SNIPPET BEFORE?!??? Anyway AMAZING
This is gorgeus. They contrast each other so much, yet they are still so similar!
I love the way you draw Telemachus, he looks so cute.
I’m crying. This is so beautiful.
The parallel to The Challenge!!
This song makes me cry its so wholesome and sweet and the way you potray it makes me xry even more, its so good
AHHHH IM CRYING THIS WAS SO GOOD.. love how SMALL telemachus looks next to odysseus..
STOPPPPPP I’M NOT CRYING 😭
Stop. I'm crying!!!🥺😭😭😭
I HAVE NO WORDS TO SAY, SO INCREDIBLE
Jay needs to see this!
The way I screamed once i saw those tears
I like that Telemachus looks like his father, but has the gestures and habits of Penelope
This.. Is beautiful. No other word are needed
1 world AMAZING :o
i like every single animation you made for real i recommande all my friend to look at yours, they are my fav
the emotions comes through so well
I love how this song is a meeting and a reunion. It feels so heartwarming and bittersweet.
AAAH! The way you animated this is just so powerful. Like, the way you showed Telemachus hiding his tears was so meaningful to me. It's like he feels that he has to hide his emotions and be strong because he's seeing his father for the first time. And the way Odysseus softens and puts his bow down then he realizes who's approaching him? DHSGAKJH. And the way Odysseus can only watch as he finally sees his son after 20 years away is just so poetic. Like, he's literally unable to move or do anything out of just PURE JOY because he's able to see the one person he loves most in his life. I love this animatic
oh oh god the feels
i'm not sobbing you are
your telemachus is so sweet :,)))
your animatics are what i live for
just beautiful oh my
Ohhhh Telemachus as a child listening to Penelope’s stories and then the large space between them that Telemachus begins to cross!
I’m crying your animations are always so beautiful
I LOVE YOUR TELEMACH AND PENELOPE THEY HAVE LOVELY VIBESS
Omg this is amasing I love this musical and your such a talented artist I watched most of your animations there so good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was EPIC...
Odysseus's expression when he realizes that Telemachus is who he is made my heart melt, AUGH I LOVE YOUR WORK GIGI!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK >:DDD
This is so sweet!!!!
Screaming crying throwing up 😭
Безумно красиво вышло) Эта мимика, взгляды отца и сына))
жаль, что не удалось закончить =((
Надеюсь, однажды вдохновение и мотивация вернуться) Оно того стоит ^__^
Watching your other videos I love how you can see the passage of time and the toll it’s taken in Odysseus’ hair and beard and the continuity across the series!
GIGI YOU OUT HERE KILLIN IT EVERY TIME 💞❤🔥💖
Why thank you for making me cry and sob
holy Crepes , IM EARLY?! Aww sweet reunion between father and Son 💙💙😭

I would trade A LOT to live in your animated world. Love it more than Disney and Ghibli combined.
I've got massive goosebumps! You're doing amazing work with those animations!
Just amazing, love it❤
Me looking this song up: I feel like crying today
Telemachus: Dad?…
Odysseus: ….
Telemachus: IS THIS WHERE YOU’VE BEEN FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS?!
Odysseus: *Disapears*
Telemachus: DAD NO!!
AMAZING, AAA
At 0:18 Telemachus looks so much like Penelope did in The Challenge and I love it
OO I LUV IT
Fiquei sentimental agora
This is so good what??? I emotion that was shown RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh /Vpos
If I had any money I’d spend it all on more animation from you ❤ you’re amazing
Quando seu pai finalmente volta de comprar o cigarro depois de 20 anos:
PLEASE PLEAAAEE TELL ME YOU ARE DRAWING THE WHOLE THING WHERE ODYSSEUS SAYS MY SON I'M FINALLY HOME
My feelings 😭
Omg yessssssssssssssss
So, very useless but I wanna share the original meeting of Telemachus and Odysseus:
Odysseus is disguised as a beggar and meets with an old servent of his, a swineherd, who welcomes him in his shed and gives him food and drinks. Telemachus goes to the same place to greet said servent, since he has been travelling overseas in hopes of finding his father. Telemachus thinks the beggar is just a normal person, Odysseus instead has to keep silent in order to not let his disguise fail, while seeing his own son not recognize him.
Once the swineherd is gone, Athena appears to Odysessus but not Telemachus, and decides to make Odysseus his old self again just to reunite with his son. As soon as Telemachus sees him with a totally different look, he asks hims if he's a God able to shapeshift, to which Odysseus answears by admitting he's his father and kissing his forehead as he cries the tears he had been holding back.
Telemachus doesn't believe him, and rather thinks this must be just a trick from the gods to make him suffer more (poor boy) and Ody reveals about Athena and his disguise as he sits down and reassures him he's his real father.
After he's done explaining, Telemachus now convinced doesn't think twice and hugs his father tightly as they break down crying and yell in pure compassion. They keep on crying and hugging each other for hours even as sundown, just until Telemachus asks Odysseus how he came back, which leads to them plotting on how to kill the Suitors.
Extra Nice
🤍🤍💙
This is beautiful. First❤
Awwww
