BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF!!! (this will be a long read im so sorry)
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE VIDEO YET YOU CAN HERE
THIS POST WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM THE VIDEO
First I would like to grab your attention on what all i was thinking while working on the kick scene
Your welcome, made me giggle the whole time
okay you can keep reading lol
Hello! i mainly just wanted to info dump either some fun facts about the video and even some cut content (it wont be much ((i think??)))! this is mainly just for anyone who likes to see any stuff behind the scenes and just some extra fun stuff from projects since i like seeing that kinda stuff myself 🤩
I have already been asked on how long this took me, and i would say probably either 2 months or close to 2 months?? It was somewhere during the beginning of June when I started planning it out. It probably would have taken me longer if I worked on it with the proper amount of time but a LOT of the days I would end up on my tablet for HOURS (like all day type hours like a 9-5 shift) Do not recommend, not fun. PLEASE take breaks if you are doing big projects or any project for that matter.
OKAY FIRST OFF THE PROGRESS:
For the beginning part, I had the whole thing storyboarded out. Later on, I added just a few more scenes since it felt like there weren't any good transition spots in some areas.
Once after the prologue part, I lowkey did not have a foolproof plan on what I wanted in. SO, I scrolled through the ENTIRE Myth blog, screenshotting any panel I thought could work, then put the pictures into Toon Squid, eliminating anything that didn't work, as well as for timing's sake. That probably took me so long i dont want to know 💀
everything else after was just to lineart in out, color it and add background…idk how else to explain the rest 😔 it was more so just the beginning part being so tedious
We'll kinda try to go in chronological order, but no promises
FIRST ONE, we gonna start small. this little reaction of boris and bendy were supposed to be a part of when Felix pops from the front doors. Felt a little out of place on how I did it and i probably could've kept it in there it wasn't that huge of an issue buuuuut its too late now
This one I would've kept in during the whole compilation part towards the end, but I didn't want anybody getting confused since this scenario never even happened lol. This was like one of the early, early ideas I put in during that part, as at the time I wasn't sure if I was going to have enough scenes to place that had good context, so I kinda made up my own scenarios or symbolic scenes. annnd then realised I had way too much and got rid of the made-up scenarios. I would share more of them, but I think I deleted them all. This one is the only one I took a screenshot of :') (I'll see if i can make this a full piece later)
Originally I was going to place a scene where little mugs and cups meet at the front of their house with cups all bloody on top of the scene where mugman is making the big barrel shooting gun (wtf is it called) but decided to scratch it and just have half that scene towards the ending due to there would just be too much going on we already have his inner monologue right behind him it was enough. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THIS HAPPENED!
THIS SCENE AS WELL (up above) was originally going to have Mugs and Boris' close-ups towards the sides of the screen, as the main event was in the middle. But again, it would've been way too cluttered.
I HAD THIS FULLY COLORED IN AND EVERYTHING UNTIL I REALIZED YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN GET TO SEE IT WELL ENOUGH WHERE IT WAS PLACED so i had to completely cut it (at least it looks nice..😒)
A big reason for a lot of things being cut was for timing problems
I still beleive that I put wayyyy too much content in that 1:50(ish) i possibly should have picked a slower song for it lol. but still i have seen so many people enjoy it and love it to death themselves so maybe i really do have nothing to worry about :)
EXTRA STUFF (IDK ANYMORE!!)
NOW I'LL SHOW SOME STILL FRAMES YOU CAN ONLY SEE FOR ONE SECOND bc i know people will want to see them for more than that amount of time (this'll only be for towards the ending stuff)
okay! that should be all! i really hope this isn't too much this is taking me forever
if i have more to share later on (in which im sure i do) i will continue this on in the future :)
