Storyboards that I did for Season 4, Episode 8 - "Lights Out" of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. Ben & Kenji experience another harrowing experience in the hyperloop pod just after narrowly escaping the gang of Dilophosauruses. The power shuts down and the Dilophs continue to stalk them.

What do you even do in a situation like this? One of your best friends is bleeding out, he's fading fast, and the vehicle you're in shits out on you. The cherry on top is a gang of Dilophosauruses that you just escaped from is trying to break into your car and jump you again.
There's a lot of stress, tension, concern, and most importantly: care, in these sections of the story. A lot of my technical focus was set on pacing as I put together the first half of these boards. The ramming sound of the Dilfosaurs that are trying to find a way into the hyperloop pod were a great chance to use measured cadence to motivate my cuts and ramp up the intensity. It's something that I had been thinking about a lot at the time of boarding this - how sound and pacing can affect the emotion of a sequence; this section presented an effective opportunity to use those two elements to amplify Ben and Kenji's sense of danger regarding the "invisible" threat on the other side of the hyperloop pod's walls and increase tension via the unseen.
These sequences are emotionally tough, because we come to care so much about these characters and sometimes a story script may present us with the question: "we have to hurt them right now, but how do we show their hurt in a believable way that connects with an audience for the sake of the story?" It can be tough. Everyone approaches these questions differently, but I personally search my experiences and memories for these answers. I dig through emotions to see where the truth is. When done well, we can give even the most harrowing experiences new life in a way that facilitates humanity and growth through art and story.
Team 2 was lights out with this episode. Very grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to this episode alongside incredible story artists Jeffrey Chang, Jiedi Chen @tio-trile, and Ben Holm as we worked off of Annie Arjarasumpun's amazing script. Also please note how beautifully crafted the hyperloop pod's 3D model is by our Visual Development artists. I believe this one was done by the skilled Mark Chac.
Thank you for watching Chaos Theory. I've read the posts to the crew, and it brings me joy to see how much love there is for the show. It's never over, really - or at least it doesn't have to be. Take them with you; they're part of your experiences now. Absorb their successes, learn from their mistakes, get attacked by dinosaurs. Cheers
I am forever of the opinion that SO many people would be so much happier if they stopped trying to fit their relationships and feelings into "just friends" and "romantic partners". man those are two boxes. twoooo. you are an entire living being. you are alive and your brain is full of electric signals and your body is sending crazy chemicals all over the place. you cannot always cram your experiences into two neat cookie cutter shapes. you are alive on this stupid gay earth please relax and have fun. I love you
Social interactions get way less painful and complicated when you realize everything is arbitrary and it's ok to feel your feelings and communicating effectively between people is the key to lessening suffering overall

Back Animation VERSUS ► https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/animationversus/animation-versus?ref=discovery&term=animation%20vs&total_hit
---
1) AVA 12 IS PLANNED FOR THIS SUMMER !!!!! (and! there's a possibility ava 13 might come out sooner as well, this year potentially too!)
2) aversus can be played by more than 2 people!
3) alan says that his character just happened to not be on the computer while avm s3 was happening. he usually leaves them to their shenanigans!
4) alan says that purple just happened to ? find a mac during their 7 year period post 2011 after they and their parents came out of their animation. (possibility that purple and their family mightve stayed in the internet for a while?)
5) the team has already made a decision about whether the dark lord is going to come back, but nonetheless — he will be seen in the upcoming video.
6) "the stickfigure site was animated by someone — it's not clear who, but one could theorize its been around for 7~ years before orange broke them out of it" — alan
7) green's socials will be revisited!
8) all of the cg potentially could be miku fans! red most likely more than the others. :)
9) alan could call tsc and tco long-lost brothers that just happened to not know each other — estranged siblings.
10) ava/m will go for as long as death does us part with alan, apparently
11) to alan, cg communicate more "telepatically" with each other. the text in influencer arc could be seen as green translating their communication to something the viewers could understand!
12) interpersonal cg relationships will be explored in the new minecraft season!
13) the mercenaries production names have been officially (although, perhaps by accident) dropped: lasco for primal (referencing the lascaux caves), eztoon for ballista, gui for agent, sign/pedestrian for hazard
14) hazard, corndog guy and red got they/themed. lol
(also! when talking about the mystery white stickfigure, when referred with 'he', muno (the lead developer of aversus) questioned it ("he?"), and the team said its not yet specified if, well. if the stick figure is a "he". please give us a nonmale living character i Beg of thee ...)
15) cg doesn't have an official age, but they could be seen as teenagers-early 20s (thank god)
16) the abteam is considering minisodes proposed by the community! (such as proposed chosen & dark minisodes , rocketcorp slice of life)
17) alan thinks purple's birthday would be in february (no set date)
18) chosen will get more characterization in the future
19) some known artists in the community (such as anglermann, @sushiree, @flareboi, @cindersnows, @ , @ornziy, @itslilacokay, pasteldragon, @comyetani, realvegemite, @wretchedvictim, qr_png, hoodedjelly have been noticed on stream by the team !!! congrats !!! :D
— “ooh that's a nice one, i like that“ (hatena in response to @itslilacokay mercenary art)
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1iR_QZLJip9WsbVVdlNhl-uhbFqtHa4ydajcILszdszI/mobilebasic <- the entire fanart compilation doc, made by novamations :)
20) when the pc turns off, the cube in the interspace goes dark, but stays there.
about what cg does when the pc turns off: "think of it as when the electricity goes out, it's black and cold, they cant use things anymore. they'd probably just sleep.”
21) mitsi will be seen in a future video
22) skim created corndog guy (and has apologized for it)
23) the team has been holding polls on whether the chat wants to see the dark lord, mitsi and gold come back — but said that they ultimately will decide on their fates.
24) king and purple ... were based on thanos and loki.
25) confirmation that green likes udon noodles and listens to daft punk
26) alan says we could come up with little quirks for characters on our own (i.e. blue could be superstitious / be into astrology, yellow getting into rubics cubes)
27) alan thinks red might have adhd !!! :)
28) avchemistry might be real in the future, but it'll be tougher to execute since the person who was behind avmath and avcoding doesn't know chemistry.
29) ava 11 took over a year
30) ava 12 has all the storyboards done, and ava 13 is already in the works!
31) alan said that purple is "that friend that doesn't live at the house but comes over a lot"
32) name for mitsi stuck after the team reversed victim's name
33) alan is excited for the next avm season!
34) skim sees ava 12 and 13 as a two-part
35) its a possibility for new avm characters being introduced — ava as well, but unlikely they'll be major ones in the second instance
36) the team said that there are 4 minisodes in progress , and that hopefully they'll start to release them soon !!!!!
37) "how rich is corndog guy?"
"never rich enough. he's on that grindset"
38) when skim was asked who he related to the most he said it was victim because:
- more withdrawn and quiet
- carrying a weight with him
- prefers to occupy his mind with things hes good at
- not as naturally gloomy as youd expect from him
- struggles to connect with people but good at getting things done
39) when asked about what happens to stickfigures after they die, alan replied that that their code is still there — but it's kind of "disconnected". it'd be impossible for someone in the living dimension to take that code and put it back together (alan (jokingly? half jokingly???) notes: "unless you're the second coming"). "it's kind of like when you're programming, and you change one line and then all of a sudden all of the code is unusable. it's still there, it's just not attached to the right dimension”.
