- First of nothing, I made the draft of this when the series was just announced, so the cast of protagonist hadn't even come out, so the design are more based in how a imagined the characters, and I when I start to make the animatic was when only the actors of the protagonist come out.
The best (and saddest) part about this animatic is how it portrays Luke. While it's easy to assume that Luke's attempts to make peace are just part of maintaining his cover at camp, this portrays this as the moment his faith in his fellow demigods dies. His belief in the gods died long ago, but Luke probably still hoped the campers could be better than their parents and come together as a family. Instead, he watches them break off into warring factions, ready to kill each other for gods who don't care about them. Everything Kronos told him about the gods and their ilk is being confirmed, and whatever remaining loyalty he had to the Olymian regime is crumbling. It's hard not to imagine Kronos smiling in Tartarus, he couldn't have planned this better.
Yeah, it seems to start with Luke thinking he can keep his friends out the fight while the gods destroy each other, and gradually realizing there's no way to 'save' them as everyone just jumps behind their respective parents, something he's adamantly opposed to doing for Ares. It's really beautifully done!
Reading the part of “coming together as a family” makes me think if Luke really just wanted a family. I mean- look. He’s never had a father figure when he needed one the most. I’m not even sure if Luke could call his mom, well. His mother, cause instead of a loving mother embrace. She scared Luke away, causing him to hide away. And when he FINALLY found a family figure (Thalia and Annabeth), The two of them ended up on the opposite side. Making Luke alone. I wonder if that was one of his desires. To have a family
silena being next to luke in the last frame/thumbnail is pure genius but also PURE EVIL
Nobody say I was good
“My mom doesn’t believe in war.”
“Oh yeah then why does she keep texting my dad?”
".......woah."
Love leads to war
@@sjentropy9609 The Trojan War is a good example
Egsactly
It's especially funny when you know that Aphrodite evolved from war goddesses and the Spartans straight up worshipped her as a war goddesses and stuff. She started the Trojan war. She absolutely 'believes in war'
Silena dying during the Battle of Manhattan after being so confident about this makes this animatic 10x sadder for me 😭
😭
1:02 Sooo… who wants to tell Silena that one of Aphrodite’s actual epithets is “Gravedigger?”
Now I can’t stop thinking about the idea that if there were more musicals for the rest of the series, one of them would have a dark reprise of this song, as the rebellion grows and war slowly becomes inevitable.
Selena:" my mom doesn't belive in war."
Me: cries in aphrodite area, Ashtarte and Ishtar. How could we have fallen so low? How could the greeks have ruined my favorite war godess so?
Fifth and fourth century BC philosopher's fault😞
Misogyny.
Several philosophers who changed her characterization, in some places like in Sparta Aphrodite was also a powerful war goddess, though despite all that Aphrodite is still a more ancient deity and thus more powerful
@@carlos_is_sea-deep I mentioned spartan Aphrodite, aka Aphrodite Area.
CLARISSE AND SILENA IN THIS OMG I LOVE THEM
RUEREGARD YESSS
Fun fact, in the Broadway musical, Silena was depicted as a black girl and had a huge battle hammer with a thin and long handle and I love that about the musical and the characters depictioning.
Literally such a perfect animatic! The way you drew Clarisse is just so…HER! And Silena looks just like her official portrait! And then the way Luke’s scar looks like actual claw marks since he got it from the dragon Ladon. And Silena’s bow is ADORABLE! And the way you can see Kronos getting through to Luke! I can’t explain how perfect this is! And you can see Silena and Clarisse starting to become friends even though in the end it showed her with Luke while Clarisse is standing alone, which is such a great representation of how she has to prove herself as a daughter of Ares. If only I had your talent, man.
I lovw how the Aphrodite children use bows thata such a cool detail!!
When I tell you that last frame made me gasp-
I love it! :D The animatic and the song. It always makes me crack up when Luke goes “we don’t know who stole the bolt.”
i jolted in my chair when i saw that last frame which god possessed you that was EVIL (it was so good oh my god)
Not many people make animatics for the cut songs. I'm glad that one of them was you!!
I heard it once, I only can't stop thinking about making it an animatic
Why is this so underrated?! It’s a masterpiece!!
Thanks ♥️
Lyrics:
CLARISSE]
There's a war going down, going down, yeah baby!
There's a war going down up there
[LUKE]
(spoken)
We don't know who stole the bolt
[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Sweet Luke, it doesn't matter!
(sung)
There's a war going down, yeah maybe, yeah maybe
We don't know who to blame, but it's a battle just the same
And it's real this time, it ain't some game
We'll have to pick a side because this could be do or die!
We need to know just where your loyalties lie!
[LUKE]
(spoken)
Percy will find a way!
[CLARISSE]
Don't make me gag
Percy couldn't find his way out of a paper bag!
We've got a choice to make can't be denied
We better pick a side
[SILENA]
(spoken)
Can't we just pick flowers and make friendship bracelets?
[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Wake up, Silena! You think a war between the gods stays in the heavens? If our parents fight, they're gonna want us by their side!
[SILENA]
(spoken)
My mom doesn't believe in war!
[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Oh yeah? Then why does she keep texting my dad?
[LUKE]
(spoken)
Whoa!
(sung)
There's a war going down, going down, yeah ladies
There's a war going down up there
There's a war going down and we better hope to Hades that Percy sets it right and we don't have to fight!
[SILENA]
But just in case, she's in my sight!
I'm gonna pick a side cause this could be do or die!
[LUKE]
(spoken)
Come on, Silena, we don't have to fight their battles!
[SILENA AND CLARISSE]
We need to know just where your loyalties lie!
[LUKE]
(sung)
You don't have to choose!
[CLARISSE]
This fight is gonna be one hell of a clencher
Prissy Percy's gonna lose his Poseidon adventure!
[ALL, LUKE]
We got a choice to make can't be denied
Don't have to
Pick a side
[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Whoever my dad backs, I'm with them. Peace is a joke!
[SILENA]
(spoken)
Well, whoever says love is worthless, I'll pulverize them!
[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
YEAH!
(sung)
Now at camp we win
[LUKE]
(Hey)
[SILENA]
Be the champion
[LUKE]
(Wait)
[GIRLS]
The Last Olympian standing!
[LUKE]
(It's their fight, why bother?)
[CLARISSE]
We'll make our parents proud
[SILENA]
Make our voices loud
[GIRLS, (LUKE)]
Rise above the crowd we're commanding!
(I will never help my father)
[ALL, CLARISSE, SILENA]
We got a choice to make
Can't be denied
We got a choice to make
To earn our pride
We got a choice to make
Can't run and hide
You better
Pick a side

Cool design for Luke’s scar
"Pick a side" and actually putting selene in lukes side because of the last book let mr hanging
Full offense I'm gay for this Clarisse (but amazing video)
This is absolutely amazing!! I love all the angles! Also your hands always look amazing haha
Thanks ♥️
I need. A. Tutorial. your art style is literally SO GOOOD
‘Percy couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag’ anyone get this?
I don't get it, could you please explain what it's referencing?
@@Glimmerheart it’s from the part in house of hades (i think) where Annabeth and Percy got out of Tartarus and Reyna was like “without you, i doubt Percy could find his way out of a paper bag”
@apollo1fred1lester Oh, thanks for explaining! It's been forever since I read House of Hades, so I probably forgot a bunch of stuff.
@@Glimmerheart np!
The only thing that was running through my mind during that line was Epic for some reason 😭
"All I gotta do is open this bag ✨"
I love this song
This is so much better
1:01 Clarrise, do you have something want to share that with the class
Who’s exited for the new show next year in 2024 after seeing this? I am.
This is so good?? Like amazing. this needs more views!
silena and clarisse bestie-ing I'M DYING SO CUTE
simply amazing!
also I LOVE THIS SM LIKE you have no idea how long i waited for a pick a side animatic
I had no idea this song existed?!?!?
Btw love your art style 🩷
Don't get it into the final album, thanks ♥️
It’s one of the deleted songs
The Is So Reugard coded
Haha I love the friendship bracelets
I actually imagine Clarisse turning cabin 11 against my OC (who bragged about being dads favorite)
nah, stop Slenia being like a head taller than Clarrise at 1:42
FINALLY I can never find animatics of this song and I love this art style
This is amazing!!!!!
If you have daddy/mommy issues clap your hands the whole camp 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is amazing although one thing, Luke's scar starts from the bottom of his eye and down to his chin. It's a common mistake that the scar goes over his eye.
This is sooo awesome I'm just a such A BIGGGGGGG PJO FAN
Underrated!! It’s so good🤍🤍
Thanks ☺️
Love this!!!
"woah." - Luke Castellan
I love this!
Thanks ♥️
Don't be so sure of yourself Clarice. I don't think that the gods would want their mortal kids in their battle. Also what is her deal with percy?
Why she so short when she walking through the crowd??
Nice video, but having Silena be taller than Clarisse feels... weird
Bro is Salina Cupid now
I’m aroace but I’m so gay for Clarisse’s design
At 1.36 it sounds like Luke says we’ll f u to
Hey will you continue to do Hadestown animatics ?
Yeah, I just don't have enough time because I start a new job
Why does Claress have cat teath
I ask to my heart and answer 'yes'
Now I will only imagine Clare’s as a cat😊
