Epic III but it's performed in a cathedral

Epic III from Hadestown, put through a cathedral filter.

Fun fact: this took for-friggin' ever (read: several months on and off), and I decided to get it done tonight just 'cause I had 2 or three panels left to make and it was the night of Hadestown's first Broadway preview, so technically this is in celebration of their Broadway move. It's a gift to all cast and crew of Hadestown, past and present.

I ended up finishing at around 3 AM because the way I make these is panel-by-panel. Every time you see a change in the image, that's a completely new picture, and I had to re-insert all of them with my watermark added on because this looks like a work worth stealing and sharing on Insta or something, and the way I layered one of the transitions and faded to white in the middle meant I couldn't just slap a transparent PNG of my signature without it looking weird and flickering oddly. Me being the absolute banal perfectionist I am, I did it the hard way so it wouldn't do that. iMovie sucks, you guys.

This project was made very specially 'cause this felt like a very special song, and it’s also the song where I found out how to apply the reverb without muddying the audio, so I’m probably gonna remake some old ones. I'm very quickly falling down the slippery Hadestown slope. This is five minutes long and worth 11 references, 31 panels, 16 layer groups, over 200 layers total, and way too many hours.

I hope you enjoy!
