Ballad of Jane Doe | Ride the Cyclone Animatic (Flash Warning)

Heads up for flashing imagery around 2:41-2:51!

I think this is a song everyone has been waiting a long time for, and it’s finally here! I really wanted this to be a high note to end the year on, which is why I was working really hard to get it out so soon after Space Age Bachelor Man. I think it paid off, as I am incredibly proud of the final product. I also hope this is enough to stave you all over as I start planning out content for the new year! As I wrap up the Ride the Cyclone series, I’ll be reintegrating some OC content back into this channel, as there has been a severe lack of that lately. I also wanna dip my toes into some fan content for other works, so stay tuned!

I’d also like to announce that there are not two songs left, as I originally said, but now three! After a lot of deliberation and working out the overarching narrative, I made the decision to include New Birthday Song in the official video series. I hope you all won’t be too disappointed waiting a little longer for Sugar Cloud, as I think the less visually intense song in between will really help make Sugar Cloud the best video it can be :0)

Fun fact: I, for the life of me, cannot remember where I saw it, but there was this one production of Ride the Cyclone where their Jane Doe sang on a sort of carousel-esque horse prop due to not having a fly mechanic, and that was what inspired this animatic in its entirety. I was so lost and intimidated by having to do this song, but seeing that just made everything click. I just could vividly imagine Jane lamenting on a carousel, and that’s what led to everything else.

And yes. That is Ezra Lamb. Yes, those are frames from my Legoland animatic. Don’t question the timeline consistency or ask about the multiverse theory, please just feel sad about the fact that Ezra’s sister is currently dead and headless and singing a song in some musical, thank you.
