SUPER SPECIAL KINDA LOVE

I saw “saw too little too late” and knew in my gut it was probably meant to be an angsty or yearn-y prompt but by the grace of God I had seen enough SvtFoE stuff recently (and been listening to some CG5 covers. Very good) to remember that one Love Sentence song- and Tom and Marco’s duet. This animatic is almost shot-for shot a recreation of the duet from the Coronation.

I tweaked a few things, of course, for example a music box instead of a phone and Ruddiger is dancing with Nuru because I ran out of characters. We ditched the background because hell no. I also really did up that last “too little too late” because I could.

This is so in character to me. Of course this is how they would distract Cyrus for one reason or another. Team Radical I will always love you.

And listen, I know the general consensus is Jarrod Spector for Hugo… but by the time I finished this Tom’s (Rider Strong’s) voice really fit. I would like to throw his hat in the ring honestly…

anyway. I hope you like it as much as I do but if you don’t I don’t actually care because this brings me so much joy already /lh
