Oh the animatic I would create for Candela Obscura: Eye For An Eye if I could

To the tune of Take Me Out to the Ballgame:

Take me out: Sean, gun shouldered, leads the party down the darkening railroad tunnel To the ballgame: At the gate with the eye, Sean tosses a rope so they can climb over the wall Take me out: They don’t climb fast enough as the train approaches, Sean pulls out a grenade To the crowd: Sean blows up the gate, pulls Nathaniel through to safety at the last minute Buy me some peanuts: Everyone realizes the lighthouse is dead and they’re surrounded by many many eyes And cracker jacks: Auntie Bee starts scattering her bag of bloodied feed to distract the squid dogs I don’t care: Everyone else moves to the lighthouse while Sean holds off squid dogs with his gun-club If I never come back: Nathaniel orders Sean back, and he makes it up the rope just in time For it’s root: A rift in reality opens up, the huge creature pushes through with too-big hands and smile Root: Nathaniel collapses, a thread and blue ball rising out of his chest toward the creature Root: Marion pushes Auntie Bee out of the way then collapses, threadless For the home team: Auntie Bee grabs Jean and pulls her to the astrolabe as Sean stands firm If they don’t win: Jean flips through the book until Auntie B reaches out to steady her and nods It’s a shame: The creature smiles, its hand coming down like a cage over Marion For it’s one: Sean raises his gun and shoots, the flash fades to the image of a rushing river (in sepia) Two: Sean shoots, the flash fades to an image of a face behind a cracked door (in red) Three strikes: Jean moves her hands in arcane shapes to sew the rift closed You’re out: The creature rears back, disappearing back into the rift except for its severed hand In the old: A ghostly image of Jean’s father kisses her head, Auntie Bee comes to her side Ball: Nathan wakes, one eye white, while Sean pushes the hand away and kneels next to Marion Game: Marion wakes, gasping, then screams There's one final wide shot of the upside-down lighthouse's light coming back on and making a single sweep through the darkness
