#like Apollo plays Telemachus’s Lulluby and then the next bar just tosses it to Hermes to pick up

Okay this idea has been marinating in my head for so long and since the chance of me actually sitting down and animating it is low I might as well share it

Welcome to H’s animation ideas, I’ll be your host H, prepare for me to ramble at you

Okay, so there’s a character idea I’ve had that’s basically this guy who can duplicate himself for the purpose of making music

Take “I Hear A Symphony” by Cody Fry; the Composer would start playing piano in the background while the character(s) would do their thing, and then —if I’m using this term right— clone jitsu himself to also play the other instruments

Now, the reason the Epic tags are here, is an adaptation of this for Epic:

✨Hermes✨

It used to just be a bunch of Hermes in different t-shirts w/ their instruments on their shirts, BUT! I just got an idea which gave me an excuse to rant to the void.

@sloanslone ‘s post of all the different Hermes gave me an idea:

In the background of Epic animatics, different creators’ versions of Hermes are making the music

We got one with like a Eury t-shirt on and holding the conductor’s baton makin’ the crew sing

We got one holding Penelope’s viola, etc

Now for some specific shots:

In Mutiny, right at “then you have forced my hand” the Hermes that controls the crew steals the guitar from Odysseus’s Hermes and jams out

Speaking of Mutiny, all the Hermes wince when Eury slits the cows throat, and they are all very anxious about what and who they know is on the way, maybe even edging on the rowers

Then in Thunder Bringer, the first lightning hits, the music plays, and all the Hermes look at each other, confused on where the music is coming from, and at the third sample where it crescendos and Zeus appears, so does Apollo

Being the god of music, he does the music for the gods

Don’t worry about Athena’s music I didn’t think that far back

Anyways what else did I have….

I guess suggest whose design goes w/ what instrument

I think @gigizetz ‘s Hermes should be Odysseus’s, strictly because it’d be fun to animate the one-finger glove playing the guitar

Anyways this has been my rant, treat my idea well it’s been plaguing me every time I listen to the music because I have little Hermes dancing around

(Edit because a part didn’t post)
