So Claudia Cacace recently posted her last Be More Chill animatic and said in the pinned comment that she had wanted to stop a long time ago when people gave her bad attention; it made me think about how animatic creators at the height of the musical theater fandom were treated horribly, despite being the backbone of that fandom for the longest time. For example, I remember people used to give Mushroomie/Mushie r crap about how they were “copying” Szin’s art style, which is literally impossible. A lot of people in the fandom were clearly inspired my Szin’s artwork because she was one of the most popular artists in the fandom at the time and her art was indeed really good. You can’t “copy” an art style. And when Szin announced that she wasn’t going to make Hamilton animatics anymore “fans” were calling her a liar among other awful things because she had said in a now private (or maybe deleted) Q&A video that she had wanted to do all the songs, despite that fact that she also said in that same video that she was going to keep making Hamilton animatics as long as they were fun for her, which they has ceased to be by the time she had finished Act 1 and a bit of Act 2. It had been years, disinterest naturally happens and that’s okay. There were a lot of animatic creators who stopped for the same reason; animatic creating had stopped being fun for these artist and began to be more like a job rather than the hobby it started out as. Remember most of these creators were making these animatics alone and possibly without much if any pay from YouTube. And on top of that a lot of these creators were minors at the time! They likely had other obligations in life like school and family, not able to have time for a job, let alone a very time consuming, demanding, solo job. Not to mention all the other things these creators had to deal with, like making content in a timely manner so the algorithm didn’t abandon them, or YouTube’s shitty fair use system constantly threatening to copyright claim or strike videos and even entire channels in some cases like Mushroomie. If you were in the musical theater fandom around 2016-2019 you know how important animatics were. Pro-shots were even more rarely made than they are now (like pretty much never), and bootlegs of then-currently running shows stayed up online for only a few days or weeks if you were lucky, so a lot of fans had no way of legally seeing the show(s), and sometimes not even illegally. A lot of people who loved these musicals would love a show for it’s music, but had no clue what the full plot was out of a lack of being able to access the show in an affordable way, affordability still being an issue with Broadway today. So animatics were very vital to people getting at least an idea of how these shows visually looked and an opportunity for artist to do something they loved. This was how people got to see their favorite show in away that YouTube couldn’t (fairly) take down. Quite noticeably, when these animatic creators almost collectively stopped making animatics for these musicals or slowed down around 2019, the fandom fizzled out as well, or at least changed. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t dead like some believe in my opinion, but it’s definitely different. In one way, now that a lot of the most popular shows from this time and others have some kind of pro-shot or shitty movie adaptation, and YouTube being a lot more lose with bootlegs then they used to be, animatics aren’t as vital, but their importance shouldn’t be something to sneeze at and it blows that these animatic creators weren’t treated with the utmost respect they deserved at the height of their popularity. I know I’m pulling an old issue out of the grave and this issue is essential gone, with animatics being made at a less frequent rate than they were at the time, but I’ve never seen this talked about in length. If any animatic creators, currently active or not, are reading this, I hope you continue to enjoy you creations and that people respect you as they should.

Okay so I've never seen the Dear Evan Hansen movie but it's version of Words Fail came up on one of my Spotify mixes and...
Why does he sound like a robot? Why is he so unbelievably autotuned?
Ben Platt can sing, I know he can, but this sounds like some actor chosen because they can kinda sing and then autotuned to sound like Ben Platt.
This is uncomfortable to listen to omg, but I am now fascinated by how bad this is

i’m finally watching DEH 2021 and it’s not as bad as everyone has said, so far.
although in an attempt to be grounded it’s a little soul-less. there’s no colour or theatrics or movement. the music brings emotion but the editing and production design and lighting feels a little stock standard and bland. some of this might be because of the COVID. the sets are a little bare and empty but it’s also the colour choices. like the show is so vibrant (and blue) and the movie school sets are (too red) not.
to be clear, i am enjoying it though. Ben is not as old looking as i thought.

Am I the only one who thinks Evan's cast looks completely unrealistic in the movie? It's too loose on his arm. Why couldn't they just put on a real cast, like it was in the musical?

no cause Nik Dodani was the EXACT person I was expecting to play Jared in the Dear Evan Hansen movie... but there was no reason to make him utterly useless- I love Jared and I love Nik's acting but considering they cut out a pretty CRUCIAL song (good for you) Jared was diluted to be the annoying mean family friend- really wasted that casting opportunity just saying
