Hey everyone! If you haven't, I really would suggest you read the description of this video. This one's actually important, as it has some information on the situation concerning Yannick-Robin Eike Mirko. Thanks for the support!

Rip Ricky, your wattpad readers will miss you.

I love that you chose to depict ricky with his crutches in the fantasy too, as a cane user I get why they probably thought it would be okay to not keep them for most of the performance (i.e. choreography) but it's nice to see more acknowledgement of them, since that did kinda bug me about the show (and the casting issues too...)

@dovefilms

Жыл бұрын

I'm glad you enjoyed that choice ^^ While making these animatics I took note of what mobility aid users in the fandom were saying, which is why I chose to keep his crutches in all of the animatics. And while I'm no choreography expert, given the musical theatre performances I've seen utilizing mobility aids in choreo, even in McCarter Theatre's RTC production (Although obviously obligatory how they treated the actor for Ricky was terrible) proves that there are ways to work with this kind of stuff. The theatre industry loves painting issues of representation as a simple impossibility to get away with putting bare minimum effort, and it's really a shame because they DO have the ability to do better. Honestly you have every right to be bugged by the show and its casting for those reasons, and I just hope that the uproar around it encourages other shows to be more mindful

RIP Ricky, he would've loved the Monster Prom series.

I have story where a 14 years old girl with only one friend accidentally becomes magical because on her falls magical cat-girl princess from other world after in her country happens Revolution, and she teaches her magic. Just you to know: this princess (her name is Silver) represents divinity, this power main character (Mary) now owns is given generation from generation in her dynasty (I don’t want to go deep into religion here, but if short there is a prophecy what three primordial gods one day will return but now they gave to three dynasties their powers to rule countries they made. WHERE ARE YOU MARIA-) Silver knew from childhood what she can easily die and no one will come to save her, She thinks of others as idiots, because they don’t understand true divinity. Other are worshipping gods because they believe it will save them, she worships them because she idolizes them. She wants to be the first and most divine queen, and be the closest to an actual god. This human friend’s name is Will, and he represents humanity. He’s weak, easy to scare, in a nutshell: loser. And it makes him human, he don’t does anything unforgivable such as murder (his one of three characters who don’t kill in plot, and there is 30-40) or something, but he does have mistakes, and he grows up after this. He can be scared, be happy, he can have friends, family, grow up and die. Isn’t what beautiful? But for person who thinks of humanity as weakness he’s just a clown. What’s one of reasons why he and Silver so f***ing hate each other, she sees in him all of her weaknesses, they literally have same phobias, mainly on what is build their arc. And Mary…..oh Mary…….my controversial bible accurate Mary. Half-God Born from a human, with help of other god, she combines both humanity and divinity, becoming perfect creature for guess who…….Maria! Who’s what? One of primordial gods. In plot Mary does a lot of mistakes, what costs lives of people, she thinks about them and changes, it makes her a human. But on other side she becomes more emotionless and empty, justifies her own actions, starts to think of myself as someone perfect, and becomes divine. And if you think this story isn’t what bible inspired, it’s literally called Miracle Mary what is not only lore accurate but refers to born of main Christian figure, Jesus. Don’t kill me after what pls! I needed to study but instead write this comments about my OCs, MY LIFE IN ONE LINE OMG.

I gotta say, as much as I love this whole animatic, the nervous and confused expressions from the choir TOP IT OFF, LIKE THOSE FRAMES WERE GOLD 😭 And the whole situation with Mirko is downright outrageous to me as well. He really shouldn't have been fired, and I agree that disabled actors should play disabled characters-!!

This was excellent! I love just how confused (and for Ocean specifically, horrified) the choir is and how everyone screams "NOW?!" when Ricky says "It gets weird now". I also love the approach you took with the Zolarian cats, having them resemble the members of the choir with the masquerade masks. And when Ricky is explaining stuff to the choir during the instrumental break, I was laughing my butt off because they all looked so disturbed! And small detail I love: even in his fantasy, Ricky retains his mobility aids, which foreshadows his choice to concede. Ricky is content with his life, so he doesn't get rid his crutches even though this is his fantasy where he's essentially a God and he has no reason to keep them. Overall, 10/10 and I can NOT WAIT for The Ballad of Jane Doe! EDIT: The updated thumbnails look INCREDIBLE! EDIT 2: The design for Count Dogulas is awesome and fits very well with the designs for the Zolarians! EDIT 3: I'm not sure how I never noticed this until now, but I love how every member has a different color associated with them!

@dovefilms

Жыл бұрын

I am SO glad you liked the Zolarian designs! They were perhaps one of my biggest challenges in producing this animatic, trying to keep them fit the setting, but still be read as the choir to keep with the small cast that the musical does well in portraying. Ricky keeping his mobility aids was so incredibly important to me as an artist. I've been following a lot the talk about how disability functions in the show, mainly from disabled fans, and ultimately decided that him keeping his crutches was just going to be the most respectful move. I hadn't even really considered the in-universe explanation for it, but the idea that it's because he's content with the life he led just plays so well into the overarching themes that I can't believe I didn't think of it. Glad to see the new thumbnails are hitting well! I've been meaning to change them FOREVER, but hadn't had the time to sit down and do it til now. Thank you so so much for watching, I love seeing your feedback for each of these videos, and I hope you enjoy The Ballad of Jane Doe, because that one is INCREDIBLY soon!

@@dovefilms Yeah, I remember you telling me about your struggles with designing the Zolarians, but I think you did a great job adapting them! I respect your decision to have Ricky always have his mobility aids/crutches. Representation is incredibly important and something as small as keeping those crutches in this animatic can go a long way for someone. But I can't believe you didn't think of the in-universe reason for Ricky keeping his aids in his fantasy! There's always so much detail packed into your animatics I thought that it was intentional that he still had his crutches in his fantasy. Yes, the new thumbnails are just plain EPIC! I love how, despite their slight simplicity, they're still very effective! The addition of the colors makes it even more cool! I feel honored that my feedback has meant so much to you! I'm a massive fan of the idea of RtC animated movie or something (maybe implementing material from several different productions or something), so I greatly appreciate these animatics for doing what I can't do since: 1. I can't animate, haha. 2. Some of these songs, like the current "Uranium Suite" are just too epic for my brain to come up with an animated version for. And you don't have to hope. I already know for SURE I'm gonna LOVE TBoJD!

@@dustyrose192 As someone with a mobility disability (albeit not as severe as what’s implied in the show) I think it both makes sense for the character to be disabled or not disabled in the afterlife. They should have two scripts depending on casting. I feel like the most respectful way to handle it would for there to be options, especially considering different people with the same disability might feel completely opposite (like I hate my physical disabilities and the idea of them following me into death is horrific, whereas many people see their disability as just a part of who they are). Such a disappointing decision considering they totally could’ve made accommodations without affecting the show much
