(react vids are cool tho) CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!! Here’s a pic of your OCs from the animatic: ------------------------------ In this Animatic, The Count holds a Ball at his Manor, and invites his old “friends“. None of the men recognize him, but Shycedes does. She spends the party trying to talk to him, while he denies knowing her. For more art, our animatic’s storyboards, that cool end credits picture and much more can all be found at Silhouette’s DevianArt Page: FAQs: Why’d you take two years to finish it??? Well, it’s because we had to go on hiatus due to this film course we were taking. Where’s the music from? And where can I get it? It is from a musical, called “The Count of Monte Cristo Musical”. The music is available on iTunes. Where can I watch this? You can’t, unless you live nearby where it is being performed on stage, as there are no recordings of it. EDIT: A lovely youtuber by the name of Count Monsparkle has generously uploaded the German version of the musical but with English subtitles for everyone to watch: Who’s the singer? Thomas Borchert and Brandi Burkhardt What programs did you use to create this? Everything was drawn in Photoshop CS6, and edited in After Effects CS6. When will you finish the animation? Never. This is the finished product. It takes a while to fully animate stuff and we don’t have the patience for it. This way we can get our videos out sooner so we can move onto the next one. With that out of the way… Illustrated by Silhouette Edited by GhostQuill “I Know Those Eyes/This Man is Dead“ is from the “Count of Monte Cristo Musical“, performed by Thomas Borchert and Brandi Burkhardt on the Concept album released in 2008. Written by Frank Wildhorn. We do not own it. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and its characters are owned by Hasbro. We also don’t own it. LYRICS: --------------------------------------- MERCEDES: My God, my heart beats faster And my mind is racing Could it be…? Could it be that you’ve come back to life? I know those eyes following me Dark and familiar and deep as the sea I know that face, strange though it seems Younger and kinder it haunts all my dreams How can you stand there? A whisper from me Yet, somehow be so far away In eyes once familiar a stranger I see With so many words left to say EDMOND: This man is dead He is no more He died a little each day Like a thief, the Chateau D’If has stolen him away The mind plays tricks You are confused The man you seek is long gone Dead and cold A story told By those he trusted, those he loved, and those who then moved on Both singing different lyrics at the same time: EDMOND: I am a ghost; just a mirage Who chases traces of you MERCEDES: There in that voice Traces of you Dark and familiar and deep as the sea EDMOND: This man is dead He is no more And though it’s torturing me MERCEDES: I know those eyes Torturing me BOTH: Can either of us really ever be free? How can you stand there? A whisper from me When you are still so far away And why does the truth seem too hard to be true? With so much broken EDMOND: And so much damage BOTH: There are no words EDMOND: Left to say
