Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ... but it's told through Vines
Фильм және анимация
Kids getting trampled, magic science potions and a lawyer who obviously has nothing better to do - that's right folks, it's Jekyll and Hyde!
Back in January, after my Frankenstein vid seemed to be doing well, I got the idea for two more 'Told Through Vines' videos. One being 'War of the Worlds' and the other being 'Jekyll and Hyde' and oh boy, you guys sure seemed excited about the Jekyll and Hyde one! Hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making it!
In other news, as stated in the video I am now a University graduate (woohoo!) and have started a new job in my field. That said, my free time is gonna be pretty limited from now on, so I probably won't be making vids as frequently (at least, not at the frequency I made them whilst in quarantine). So yeah, I'm taking it easy for the near future, but I do want to keep making litterature-related stuff so stick around!
Also, fun fact - Hyde's design is partially inspired by 'Emo Peter Parker' in Spider-Man 3.

Special thank to my good friend Manu for lending his voice for the intro narration!
Not only does he have an epic voice, but he also makes great music - check him out!

And as always, thank you Max for your eagle eyes and secret Vines.

I think my favorite part of Jekyll and Hyde is that when you go in, already knowing the twist because of popular media, you just sit there, yelling at this lawyer to notice the obvious.

@@noyz-anything I also love that he knowingly created Hyde so he could indulge in his most depraved desires without consequences, which, this being Victorian Era, could range from him wearing a dress to swearing to murdering babies. It's very unclear just what Hyde is doing up until the murder but I always liked to imagine him uncovering the legs of tables and cackling to himself in unholy glee.

Ah yes, flute playing from the nostrils, another one of Henry Jekyll’s deepest naive childhood shames that’s somehow even worse than amongst the other thousands of numerous no no’s society frowns upon that he’s buried into Hyde in order to keep up his own respectable reputation. Just add eating flowers onto the list of Hyde’s pastimes that was once a secret shame and there ya go! XD

"technically the problem would be gone" 0_0 that hit way harder that i think it should XD yet hilarious stuff ;) love me some dark humor!
I told my step dad about Hyde bludgeoning a man to death with a cane. He said "I guess yoh call him Raisning Canes" 💀
2:42 is basically Utterson throughout the majority of the book
WOOWOO fiNALLY Edit: How is everything you make consistently just absolutely god-tier,, this had me _wheezing_
I recently watch OSP's summary of this book and it made this make so much sense. Also this was hilarious!
Utterson's little "I don't understand" was hilarious! Really cool video and the art was lovely. Congratulations on graduating!
I love this. This is pure gold. Also, no matter what, nobody can make me hate Hyde's appearance. Bird? The cannon human form of Bill Cipher? A literal troglodyte from DND? Okay, i'd hate him if he looked like the second one, but STILL

Tested to make sure they are, in fact, the best of the best. Watching this video has watered my crops and fed my children. Truly a sign of a god out there

I remember reading the book when I was a kid and I was so surprised to find out how small Hyde was.
Omg this is just too funny. I found your Frankenstein told through vines video just a couple days ago, and just found this in my suggested.

Thank you so much! I also really like that shot. I used a lot of reference photos of Victorian-era London alleyways, so I think it took me maybe an hour or two? It's the same methode used by a lot of concept artists who do thumbnails - the closer the subject is to the 'camera', the darker it gets and its a really simple way to add dept to a drawing!
You're literally a gem in the fiels of literary appreciation. I've laughed so hard I almost snorted my lunch out of my nose, and it was spaghetti.
Holy crap all of this fit so well, like this is the adaptation I'll ever watch. The best of both worlds one got me especially xD Seriously, you're awesome- and take your time! Nobody's going anywhere :D
