Please don't re-upload, or re-draw our animatic/s, (unless it's for a translation video, or you've gotten permission from us). (react vids are cool tho)

------------------------------
In this Animatic, The Count reminisces of the 'man' he used to be, the happy life he led, and the pain he endured.

(The ending is left a bit ambiguous, in the musical he gets back together with Mercedes, but in the book he chooses a different woman, sooooo we thought we could leave that up to you. This animatic was more about Dantes anyway, his story and his journey, about everything that lead to this moment. It was never supposed to focus on which girl he ended up with.)

FAQs:

Why'd you take so long finish it???
We were both completing a 2 year Game Development course (which we both graduated!) and were thus busy working on class assignments.

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 musical live?
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:    • The Count of Monte Cristo Musical  

Who’s the singer?
Thomas Borchert

What programs did you use to create this?
Everything was drawn in Photoshop CS6, and edited in After Effects CS6. (the keyframes for the animation of the wings opening and the flying at the end was done in Flash CS6, then drawn again in Photoshop)

When will you turn these animatics into animations?
Nope. This is the finished product. It would take waaay too long to try and animate these.
