The following is an animatic idea from me, Zachary Ben-Saul, for the Voltaire song âEUoeThis ShipâEUTMs Going DownâEU. With each line of the song comes the idea of the sketch to be shown in the animatic. There are 13 members of the crew, the crew being dubbed âEUoeMisfortuneâEUTMs PrivateersâEU, and I thought 13 was a good number because superstitious sailors are uneasy with that number. First comes the crew listing, then comes the lyrics.

Captain Voltaire (His story is told through the song, and his narrative lends the other character's life of their own. Plenty of character, likable.)
Cabin Boy (A lovestruck little kid, despairing that he will never see his foreign love again.)
Chinese Cook (A Chinese cook who wonâEUTMt let even the storm stop him from fricasseeing a sea anemone at the bottom of the sea!)
Crow (Seeing certain death all around him in the lookoutâEUTMs nest, he drowns his fear in rum.),
First Officer Williams (Somewhat like Lieutenant Williams at Raven Rock; awkward, bumbling, prone to mistakes, simply doesnâEUTMt know what went wrong?)
Seaman Shaft (A nasty jerk who stuffs his pockets full of gold while everyone sinks. Then, he pushes people off his lifeboat so he keeps all the treasure to himself.)
Gaunt Ratface (A skinny and scruffy looking fellow, gets shoved off the life raft by Seaman Shaft with an oar.)
ShipâEUTMs Priest (Gives one last sermon for the doomed sailors, giving a screaming prayer to God with the sea spray whipping all around him.)
Navigator (A bookish looking fellow with a backpack full of scrolls, bailing out the ship with a bucket, and is one of the sailors with the ShipâEUTMs Priest in the end.)
Rigging Man (We see him trying to cut the sails, and is with the ShipâEUTMs Priest at his final howling sermon.)
Burly Boatswain (Big strong guy, we see him mostly trying to save the ship, with the Captain at the end.)
Gruff Veteran Goldman (A grizzled and bristled old sailor, as the ship splinters around him he simply lights a cigar and gives a salute to Death, who appear before him.)
Records-keeper (A bookish looking fellow as well, earlier he is trying to save his books, and later drowns alongside the Captain.)
The RiggerâEUTMs Cat (The only survivor, we see him with the Rigger at the sermon, but he hops into a small wooden barrel bobbing along, and the barrel closes shut).

Since this isn't working well, simply copying and posting it, I'll link to the google document that has the full animatic script on it.

So! Any animators or artists, or even someone with a sketchpad and scanner, who wants to join this project, and make this Voltaire song come to life with imagery and movement?
