Some points of interest from the comic con panel today!
- The idea of Tulip sneaking into a club using one one as headphones
- Justin has pages of car ideas that he keeps pitching
- car ideas can come from story necessities or vice versa
- puzzle cars are pretty hard to write
- three words of script can turn into to three weeks of animation
- "Lets travel back in time to the 1930s!!" *Wiggles*
- the crew likes the fan community, mentioning fan comics about lake and Jesse's life off the train!
- they've worked on balancing all four of the MCs in s3, since book one and two had trios
- Hazel is named after Alex's grandmother
- They tested character names by just. Shouting them. Jesse's name took 20-30 tries
- Hazel is the youngest passenger they've covered so far- they liked writing for such a young kid
- Hazel says what she thinks confidently even without the experience to back it up
- they love Hazel's VA, they were all stunned by her performance
- Alex brought in the idea of huge companion character (with "big beefy arms")
- Tuba and Hazel's sizes balance each other out, silhouette wise
- Grace and Simon have been in every season. "Oops."
- they like the tight story structure and narrative opportunities provided by the anthology format
- this season is kinda a season about moms and maternal relationships. "dang, that's a mom right there."
- something that's popped up is people going forward with the wrong ideas/ being mistaken and then dealing with the consequences; it's easier to continue with mistakes than learn
- the idea of the apex comes from the fact that humans are drawn to myth making
- One One & the train can also be wrong! The train can't be perfect
- BOOK THREE IS CALLED "THE CULT OF THE CONDUCTOR"
- they've got lots of ideas for what to do next and they would love to keep making the show!
