Storyboard of Carmen and Paperstar's fight! Which goes differently in the storyboard

source

Chasing Paper Boards: Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / You're here

Analysis / Breakdown of differences under the cut :D

Ok. uhm. WOWIE. Holy moly.

So we're missing the fight in the carriage with Paperstar, but it still must have happened since Carmen has the Magna Carta! I just don't have the storyboards for it :(

This shot of Carmen looking back changes angles in the final!

The storyboard is also missing a shot of Paperstar running at her from the train's hallway. Good lord she is approaching

Carmen stumbles back significantly here, in the final she barely stumbles at all and it transitions straight into the next shot of them fighting ↓

In the storyboard Paperstar kicks at Carmen, in the final she just throws punches. They also cut her kick in the confrontation with Le Chèvre? My hunch is they were worried Paperstar would come across as someone who fights with kicks rather than origami?

It makes more sense for the origami guy to fight with their hands I think, y'know. Using hands for origami so using hands for fighting?

They line up until here. Then we get a VERY different fight scene good lord.

Oh to choke your rival with the papers describing the foundation of democracy... What who said that.

I would have loved to see the notes for this scene. What would they have been like. I'm pretty sure the storyboard was changed since this drags out for waaaaaay to long in what's meant to be a fast paced scene. It's badass but also chop chop we only have 22 minutes.

Also Carmen was loosing a bit too much in the storyboard, Paperstar is absolutely running CIRCLES around her.

I wonder how they ended up with this though.

Guess we'll never know...

Then they line up again and she gets thrown into the abis forever. The show ends here it's over.

OLD MAN I MISS YOU. And in the storyboard he looks up after Carmen's gone which would have been so funny...

Carmen grabs a discarded paper star in the storyboard, rather than a train part in the final, that paper star being the one thrown that fell back, the 'wind beats paper' one.

she takes more time to focus and throw it in the storyboard, in the final she just says "here goes nothing" and chucks it.

There are some more slight changes in the fight scene but these are the main ones!

Ty for reading and a reminder that I'm not the creator of anything here! I'm just a fan of the show who wants to share with other fans hehe. All my sources are at the start of each post!

I just finished reading autopilot and i love it. You show the VILE girls the love they rlly deserve. Would u ever consider writing redpapertiger again or papercarm? The papercarm tag is starving 🫨 but no pressure. thanks for posting your work! I rlly enjoy it 🩷

hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed Autopilot as much as I loved writing it ❤️ I absolutely loved writing redpapertiger and would love to do it again. I want to write papercarm before I attempt another redpapertiger wip, because I want to focus on their dynamic more in-depth. I have a few ideas rolling around but nothing concrete yet. I've been thinking of their shared VILE year and maybe stemming off of that (enemies with benefits with a twist, anyone👀)? Or going in a completely new direction with some post-canon thoughts of mine (lost cat won't leave you alone dynamic vs. cat/mouse my faveee). Tbh, it'll probably be a while before I publish anything 😭 I am focusing on some other wips of mine but I love the papercarm tag and want to add to it for sure -- they're like chess pieces to me (affectionate (degradatory))

Thanks again for reading!!!

day 5: AU!!

i decided to draw my own take on the "paper star and carmen escape VILE together" au that has been floating around in my head for months and has a near incoherent three thousand word brainstorming doc to prove it

i also tried to redesign carmen, who i've decided calls herself cardinal in this au because there is no cookie booker escape with the coat and hat (paper star also influences the name).

i took inspo from harajuku fashion which i think is what PS is designed on also? i figured that since carmen sandiego adopted the first article of clothing she ever put on as her trademark that cardinal would just copy paper stars style and i think thats fun

so anyway. they're messy, they're gay, and they definitely have a big dramatic betrayal where they realize that there was never a future in which they could be together or something like that
