I shared Rocky's poem "Solid Ground" a short while ago and mentioned a recorded version. Here it is, with the storyboard animatic attached!
This has all since been replaced by a very different sequence, as stated before, but we put a fair bit of work into it before reworking the episode, so I thought I'd share!

Absolutely beautiful work guys! Rocky’s poem was amazing, I love the montage of different characters. And how it shows Rocky is aware of both his and those around him situation. The direction was really fun too! And wonderful animation and art as always. Again phenomenal work!

Oh I cannot wait to see this scene fully animated and rendered!! Just curious, was a release date for the 1st episode of the series ever announced at all?

Fluff

I can’t wait to see this animated! I will lose my mind

My gosh that was really good

So cool to see behind-the-scenes stuff like this; I'm glad the poem will live on in its own special way!

It really is even more impressive as a narrated montage. It not only sets the tone and establishes one of the story's main narrative throughlines, but also ties part of the core cast together in a way that simultaneously characterizes each of them by juxtaposing their visual cutaways with relevant lines of the poem. It's honestly both beautiful and efficient storytelling, where every single shot is meaningful on its own, and even more so as part of the sequence as a whole. Truly incredible work. I can't wait to see the final version, either.

Rocky certainly loves a nice bridge.

The Lonely Sand Person

Is this purely metaphorical or does it reference an actual island? I know the Mississippi builds and washes away islands all the time, but...

lackadaisy

It's using the concept of the islands that come and go (a real phenomenon of the river) as allegory for something else.

AHHH THIS IS SO COOL!!! Even though this won't be finished it's clear the thought and effort that went into it!!! I always love seeing the process behind animation! :D

I love this rawness: how all of these characters are connected in some way: yet have seperate lives and Rocky back saying a poem (while I don't understand the meaning): I love how it's a destiny everyone will face (both known and unknown for better or worse?)

Dear Tracy. Which poems were inspiring you to make ones on your own? Respectfully, Alen.
