*_RIGHT?_* I guess I see what he means but at the same time this is gneuinely one of my favourite songs from the soundtrack omg... It has an entire song of just Persephone enjoying herself, what more could you want?

@@itscosmicnerd yeah! And I actually think this song provides important lore for Persephone's role in the Underworld - she may be sequestered to the sidelines (by both Hades and by herself because she hates what it has become) but this song shows that she finds small ways to interfere with Hades's rule. It provides lore as to what Persephone does behind Hades's back, which is try and get the workers to feel something again, to break out of their catatonic state of nothingness and own their souls once more. But inevitably, it isn't enough - Hades's control is too strong. So we get some look at Persephone's secret dealings (I honestly don't know for certain the nature of said dealings - is it literally paying to see the sky? Is it smexy times [given the vibe of the song and dance]? It's ambiguous but the lore is still there)

@@moist_spinachi can say for certain that in old productions, the speakeasy did have an actual viewfinder pointed at a crack in Hadestown’s walls. The choreography was for the workers to line up and look through one at a time. That was eventually tossed in favor of the show’s more generic and abstract set. So yes, once it was literally going to see the sky!

Ive never thought that the line "there's a crack in the wall" refered to persephone seeing Orpheus getting through it! This has so much personality I'm glad someone animated this song

Things I LOVED: - The shades appearing as shadows when Seph turned the light on - Persephone KICKING that poor faucet - The facial expression on "THERE'S A CRACK IN THE WAAAAAALL" - Poor disgruntled Hermes - AGH YOU KILLED IT OVERALL RPIGAREPIHNGKIERWNHPFPOWH

spirits (hehe), also OW why you make me hurt like this 😭

You put ALL of Persephone's personality into this, it's bombastic and phenomenal

oh joy to the world !!! i really like how persephone's hair is followed by little petals. hermes being a spotter while persephone deals is just a really funny concept. also the crack in the wall coinciding with orpheus getting into hadestown in wait for me. very good animatic i enjoy this greatly

It just feels like so much longer, I'm just absorbed in the cheer and party feel! And then suddenly she's saddling next to Hermes to make sure he knows she knows and she DOESN'T CARE (totally not) fuck her husband. 5:14 -- *SNORTS* that cracked me up BHGFHJBGDFHBHGFDBHJ from a tiny flask to an ENTIRE bottle, she's not drunk enough for this 5:17 -- LMAO she just KEEPS.

We’re so back!

Oh my god… This is the first animatic I’ve seen that shows the same mental image I had when first listening to the concept album years ago-Orpheus breaking through the wall in a pool of golden light as Persephone sings “There’s a crack in the wall!” And then the band intros! Iconic. (Although I’m pretty sure Robinson Morse plays the upright bass, not bass guitar.)

In the show he plays upright bass (which is his main instrument; he’s played it for Hadestown since 2006 and it’s also his go-to for non-HT projects), but I have seen him play the bass guitar! He moves his right hand in a very distinct way when he plays standing bass and it carries over to bass guitar and looks really interesting. He plays with two fingers fully extended and all others tucked in, and when he has to pluck a far string it looks like his hand is lunging. It’s interesting to watch.

STOP HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG AND I WAS BAWLING BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ANIMATICS OF IT ESPECIALLY ONE AS BEAUTIFUL AND AS PERFECT AS THIS AAAAAAAAAH- Kinda unrelated but I like to headcanon that the dude she helped was Tantalus since she’s picking up his spirits by giving him something to drink, like everyone else in the song/animatic.👀 Also Persephone dancing with Hermes was adorable :”]

Hi from another trombonist who also likes this musical /lh

Honestly, my favorite song from the whole musical and definitely my most loved performance was of Persephone's. I really admire your depiction of her. And the way you don't really care about how neat your storyboards are and just depict the movement that's still readable Never Fails to surprise me! One of my favorite pieces of yours!

People taking their hats off seeing the sky OML why’s that make me so emotional?!

this is it. This hole video is literally persephone.

OH MY GOSH???

something i love about your animatics is that many people will straight up the instrumental intro when animating because its easier to just interpet the lyrics literally, but you do a great job of using the intro to set up the atmosphere of the song

I love you and this animatic so much

YESSSS DUDE! I’ve been WANTING to see our lady of the underground animated!!! AHHHH! ITS DONE BY YOU TOO! HELL YEA

Visited NYC for the first time a few weeks ago and got to see Hadestown on Broadway; Persephone was an absolute delight, love to see this after that

this animatic is amazing and the subtitles are sending me

The art is just *chefs kiss*

OOOO the expression at the the was captivating!! seph's expressions the entire time were great. good forshadowing for later with giving us shots of the instruments at the beginning. I loved hermes throughout the whole thing, in his disaproval and slight worry. RLLY loved the shots using the lighting to illuminate the spirits. and mmmmm the intro where we get to see the crack was super good. i enjoyed your choice to have the drinks be one of the few light things. almost as if it's one of the few things that brings light to the workers lives. your expressions are still somehow getting better!! and theyre already great. also seph's dynamic jump shot was amazing. amazing job as always! sorry i didnt realize you had posted T-T

HELL YEAH NEW ANIMATIC this is gonna be awesome!!

God the ENERGY She’s so alive

Great animatic! Loved Persephone in this! Also are you thinking of doing more hadestown animatics? If so, I cant wait! (And i known I've already suggested this but please consdier WDH reprise)
