The Underworld [Epic: The Musical Animatic]

Hey, so I've been working on this one on and off for a couple of months now, but between uni and work it's been difficult to finish it. However, now it's finally done and I think it turned out pretty good! Hope you enjoy :)
Side note, the identity of the woman at the end is up to interpretation. You could think of her as Andromache (although idk if she would be dead at this point), but also as just a random mother and her child, suggesting that just the sight of an infant could get Odysseus spiraling down.

0:55 Andromache with her son,, who then looks at Odysseus singing about the infant...

[@gamersgamestorm8291]

Wait, Andromache died?

[@Zephirite.]

Ody’s body language is superb here! Love how he’s stumbling and striding, sliding down the mast in horror…it really feels like he’s reacting to everything, instead of it just happening TO him.

[@vvterr_]

Oh thank you! Yeah, I was definitely trying to make his reactions somewhat believable, from getting jumpscared to just being horrified, so I'm glad that came across :)

[@KingPhoenx77]

WE NEED A FULL VERSION PLEASE CAUSE IT WOULD BE GLORIOUS

[@GA-93]

damn this is so good. it really shows the horror of hearing the accusing voices of the men that died under his command. Also, the sheer weight of Odysseus pounding the ship railing goddamn i could feel it!!! and the baby. THE BABY. Aaaaaaaa

[@Various_Flavors_of_Cheese]

How tf did you make this so good. Did you sell your soul for this talent or something??? Please I’m begging for a full version

[@maddocks97]

Yes please full version please 🙏

[@ArtzyNerd-kp9qe]

If they did sell their soul, then I must ask who they sold their soul to, because I’d sell my soul to be this talented as well

[@hegpie]

[@DilutedH2SO4]

(THIS IS SO GOODDDD)

[@chuseinakanao4887]

the goosebumps I felt while watching this, LITERAL CHILLS.
Your version of Odysseus here is superb, truly captured of what he probly felt here. I wanna see tho how he'd react to see his mom there

[@ShyyGaladriel]

Turning it into all in his head is BEAUTIFUL

[@islabarker133]

The spotlight, the soldiers watching Odysseus and his face at 0:58 were so clever and well-portrayed. Your art is very expressive!

[@angel_kb4045]

God, this hits hard

[@froggy12koreangirl]

Oh my goodness, I was so caught up in the visuals, the men, Odysseus the unnerving men dead. And the back and forth between what’s real and what isn’t.

[@warningrekt]

Why have I watched this 10 times today.this is one of the best animtics I've seen,part for the music and the emotion in the video.great job dude, keep it up 👍

[@deadeye4047]

[@vvterr_]

Thank you so much! For now not really, this was the main part of the song that I was interested in. But I'm definitely doing snippets from other songs at some point ^^

[@naludragfillia3412]

​@@vvterr_ that's fine I will be looking forward to other snippets you do then! You have so much talent

[@sorinamarcu5357]

HOLY MOLLY THIS IS AMAZING!! The body language, the facial expression, the interpretation, the transition from Ody mind to the 'reality'. I hope if you want and have time to make a full version but is 100% up to you. Until then I will lesson to this on repeat for the next 1 hour

[@TheAngelofFate17]
