do you have any unseen gravity falls storyboards from season 2?

Interesting question. Well, if you mean unseen storyboards as in stuff that I exclusively was given access to by a crew member, then sadly no. I though have found storyboards that previously were not known about that I helped popularize. For example, years back I found a group of storyboards that Alonso Ramirez Ramos posted to his public Facebook page in 2018. These were public but just no one had ever shared them beyond his Facebook and so, that was sort of a case of me finding unseen boards that got popular after. The Dipcifica community of course has been in love with those given the cut boards from NMM in them, but there were also some other cool boards like one of little Stan and Ford which were great to see too.

Other than that, there was a case of storyboards shared on TikTok by S. H. Cotugno that were previously unseen that I posted about which helped them gain attention outside of that app's userbase (I don't use TikTok and never plan to, so I found out about them through other means and it led there).

But, beyond this stuff, there's not really any storyboards from season 2 that I have which only I have seen or ones that are so obscure that fans barely know that haven't been shared or are up on the wiki.

Well...there is one case of that though...

Back in 2023, I interviewed Ethan Marak of Stoopid Buddy Stoodios for a video on my channel.

During the interview, Ethan revealed to me something rather insane; THERE'S AN ANIMATED VERSION OF CLAY DAY FROM LITTLE GIFT SHOP OF HORRORS!

What I mean is that as we know in the episode, there is stop motion of the various monsters that the gang encounters and in the movie they're watching. Well, as it turns out, the Gravity Falls crew animated all the monster in the episode for real, and there's a cut of it with all the stop motion instead being regular Gravity Falls style animation.

The animation was done to help map out the movement of the stop motion, given they had a limited budget. So, getting everything right was crucial. Sadly, as that is all internal work owned by Disney, I was not allowed to share it and unless things change or...idk...some ex Disney TVA employee with too much access leaks it to 4chan again like the pilots that leaked last year, I will sadly not be able to ever show it. That said, Robertryan Cory shared these designs of the characters publicly years back that look very similar to what I was sent. But what I was shown were colourized versions and almost final looks of the characters, as well as ACTUAL screenshots from the production version of the episode that had the monsters animated in GF style with storyboards and also fully animated designs. It was incredible to see but again, it's something I can't share.

But imagine these images, just animated and coloured in full. That's what I was given access to.

Ethan did let me share never before seen production photos from when they were making the stop motion characters, which I am allowed to show.

But yeah, besides this, there's not really anything major Gravity Falls related that I have that I can share (besides of course the many, MANY things Alex Hirsch told me and Hana off record that we're sworn to secrecy about). It's a real bummer tbh as part of me of course wants to share this info with the fandom, because I don't wanna gatekeep or hoard info about the show that fans may love to hear. But at the same time, I give these crew members my trust when I work with them on these interviews and breaking that is the fastest way to never being able to talk to any of them again which in turn, prevents any new info from being able to be shared that I could discuss. So, it's a case of having to retain info I can't share, in favour of more info that I CAN share.

But long story short, that's basically what I got related to GF season 2 storyboards the average fan may not know about.

NOW, CAN THE GRAVITY FALLS CREW INSTEAD SHARE DELETED STORYBOARDS AND STUFF FROM SEASON 1? I NEED MORE OF THAT TBH!

Hello! I hope this isn't a bother, but I saw that you used to run supermansion appreciation. I know that it has been inactive for a year, but I didn't know who to ask about what happened with the show. I am not from the USA, and Crackle isn't avaliable in my country anymore, but I wanted to know if the show has been officially cancelled? Because I have been searching everywhere and there are no news whatsoever, and that's really sad. I really miss the show. Thank you.

Hello dear anon!

Unfortunately, I don’t think we will be getting any information about Supermansion anytime soon. The creators have finished Lex’s arc, and as soon as they were ready to begin production on the next phase of the show, Covid hit and shut down all in-person work, including stopmotion studios. In the meantime, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios (the studio that produces Supermansion) focused more on their 3D and 2D animation departments, producing mostly Hulu Originals, since they could work on any other kind of animation via remote work. Stopmotion is the only form of animation that must be done in person, and while that creates a unique and oftentimes personal feel, it also shares many of the same limits that live action does. While the Animation industry as a whole is going through a hiring boom due to being one of the safest forms of entertainment to produce in the world’s current environment, stopmotion has unfortunately been left largely on pause.

While Stoopid Buddy Stoodios has posted some Supermansion-related things to their social medias, such as this gem:

They seem to be suspending production on that for the moment. There’s also the whole drama that came when they added the show to Adult Swim, then quietly removed it from Crackle a few months later, making it nigh impossible for new audiences to get into the show now.

They’re hiring on more Stopmotion animators now, so they might one day pick Supermansion back up, but for now it looks like Supermansion has been restricted to a firm “cult classic” status.

In the meantime, it looks like the team who used to work on Supermansion (and before that, Robot Chicken) is being transferred over to work on the Modok show for Disney, which seems to have a similar style of humor, animation, and storytelling than Supermansion, and would probably be more profitable for the studio after the financial hit they took from the pandemic. Perhaps the studio sees Modok as the spiritual successor to Supermansion, the same way Supermansion was the spiritual successor to Robot Chicken. Which is good for the stopmotion animators, but maybe not so much for the Supermansion fans.

I think that, if they were to pick Supermansion back up again, it would be as a passion project. I wouldn’t put it past this studio to one day make, say, a movie to wrap up all the plot threads, but for now we are in Limbo.

M.O.D.O.K.

I honestly don't know what to call this. Is it a redesign or a redraw? IDK, it's something. Anyway, I just dug around in the internet and found an old screenshot of the pilot(?). Just wanted to see if these designs could transition into the revived art style. Safe to say I did an okay job. 😁
