In this Animatic, The Count holds a Ball at his Manor, and invites his old "friends". None of the men recognize him, but Shycedes does. She spends the party trying to talk to him, while he denies knowing her.

FAQs:
Why'd you take two years to finish it???
Well, it's because we had to go on hiatus due to this film course we were taking.
Where’s the music from? And where can I get it?
It is from a musical, called “The Count of Monte Cristo Musical”. The music is available on iTunes.
Where can I watch this?
You can’t, unless you live nearby where it is being performed on stage, as there are no recordings of it.
EDIT: A lovely youtuber by the name of Count Monsparkle has generously uploaded the German version of the musical but with English subtitles for everyone to watch: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRoAlmyaijK2AOx_AhObsYXO8LBe_0xtV
Who’s the singer?
Thomas Borchert and Brandi Burkhardt
What programs did you use to create this?
Everything was drawn in Photoshop CS6, and edited in After Effects CS6.
When will you finish the animation?
Never. This is the finished product. It takes a while to fully animate stuff and we don’t have the patience for it. This way we can get our videos out sooner so we can move onto the next one.
With that out of the way…

LYRICS:
---------------------------------------
MERCEDES:
My God, my heart beats faster
And my mind is racing
Could it be…?
Could it be that you’ve come back to life?
I know those eyes following me
Dark and familiar and deep as the sea
I know that face, strange though it seems
Younger and kinder it haunts all my dreams
How can you stand there?
A whisper from me
Yet, somehow be so far away
In eyes once familiar a stranger I see
With so many words left to say
EDMOND:
This man is dead
He is no more
He died a little each day
Like a thief, the Chateau D’If has stolen him away
The mind plays tricks
You are confused
The man you seek is long gone
Dead and cold
A story told
By those he trusted, those he loved, and those who then moved on
Both singing different lyrics at the same time:
EDMOND:
I am a ghost; just a mirage
Who chases traces of you
MERCEDES:
There in that voice
Traces of you
Dark and familiar and deep as the sea
EDMOND:
This man is dead
He is no more
And though it’s torturing me
MERCEDES:
I know those eyes
Torturing me
BOTH:
Can either of us really ever be free?
How can you stand there?
A whisper from me
When you are still so far away
And why does the truth seem too hard to be true?
With so much broken
EDMOND:
And so much damage
BOTH:
There are no words
EDMOND:
Left to say
The fifth Count of Monte Cristo musical song.
