“Hero Is My Middle Name” Animatic | The SpongeBob Musical (FINISHED)

STORY SUMMARY: After the discovery of a soon-to-erupt volcano, the citizens of Bikini Bottom decide to abandon their doomed city. However, SpongeBob doesn’t want to give up on his beloved town just yet and decides to recruit the help of Patrick and Sandy to stop the eruption. But after being falsely-accused by an angry mob of causing the eruption just because she's a land mammal, Sandy questions her place in Bikini Bottom and contemplates leaving the undersea town for good...

( I know this scene takes place in Jellyfish Fields in the musical, but I really wanted to have the Sandy outfit reveal, lol. Also thought it’d make for more interesting visuals in the treedome. I also forgot Sandy’s acorn patch on her jumpsuit. RIP. )

The long awaited “Hero Is My Middle Name” animatic. As you may or may not know, I started this a few months ago, probably around when I finished “Bikini Bottom Day” but after hitting multiple slumps in my art and school work, I decided to take a break from this animatic.

When I was originally doing this animatic, I was very frustrated with the art I was making. I would draw frames and not like how they came out, but I’d still include them in the animation because I just wanted to save time and get it done and out to you guys. I realized that that wasn’t producing the best results and I was losing motivation for this animatic so I stepped away for a little while and did some other things in my free time and I think in the end it worked out pretty well. I’m not completely happy with this animatic, but I also don’t completely hate it. Let’s just say, there are parts that I like better than others. I had a lot of the animation done when I decided to take a break and when I restarted I didn’t want to do everything over, so I only went back and re-did a few frames. Everything after “alright boys, let’s do this” is all new animation.

And thank you so so so much for OVER 1K SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! I never would’ve imagined this type of response when I originally starting posting animations almost a year ago. Thank you all for your interest, patience, and kindness!

Music does not belong to me, but the animation and designs do!
