The First Minute of Ongezellig: (Unofficially) Continued - [WIP, Read Description]

Whoever said Ongezellig was dead?
This is still a work in progress. The finalized, polished, overhauled version of this will be re-released as part of a longer video of Episode 1.
Episode 1 takes place after Studio Massa's pilot. Season 1 will be released over the next year for a total of eight episodes (including the pilot). Each episode will be approximately twenty minutes long.
This is NOT affiliated with Studio Massa. Ongezellig: (Unofficially) Continued is a labor of love by dedicated fans. Please support Ongezellig's original creator here: petjeaf.com/studiomassa

[FAQ]
Q: What's OUC?
A: Read Quackzalver's interview with Ledplous here: [Time Until Publication: ≤1 Week]
The main principles of Ongezellig: (Unofficially) Continued have always been to:
1. Stay true to Massa's vision as much as possible. We are not interested in making a "fanfic". We are interested in continuing the story started by Massa's pilot as accurately and faithfully as possible. We have no desire for self-inserts, shipping, or any other unwelcome additions.
2. Rehabilitate the public image of Ongezellig to make it more appealing to (Dutch animation) studios, which have otherwise avoided this cartoon with a strong fandom that'd normally make it very desirable due to proven positive audience reception.
Q: This looks terrible.
A: Of course. It's quite difficult to train people from literally 0 experience to competency in professional animation software used by Oscar-winning movies, all within a month. But that's the thing, I never promised the visuals would be good, only that I would and could personally guarantee everything else (writing, etc.) would be. OUC was going to be a black and white, 1 frame every 3 seconds, animatic before I decided to go down the path of full animation. Remember how Verbalase spent $50k for that animation? That video was 3 minutes long. I'm doing 3 hours of animation not just within a year but at significant personal expense, both fiscally and in regard to time and effort. I mean, I've clocked in just over 900 hours in the last 60 days. I haven't taken a single day off, and I've developed chronic sleep deprivation because of it (no, I'm not exaggerating, and yes, this is a call for help). That being said, don't worry. This is by no means the final product-not if I have anything to say about it, and I do.
Q: Why is the pacing so slow?
A: See the above comment about sleep deprivation. After I manage to get more than 2 hours of sleep, I'll be able to recut it all by the time of the re-release
Q: How can I volunteer?/What can I do to help?/How do I get in contact with you?
A: Please contact: [e-mail]

Obviously, this is still a work in progress. The finalized, polished, overhauled version will be re-released as part of a longer video of Episode 1. There is a lot yet to come. The way I have this set up, the quality and efficiency of our releases can and will only improve with time.

Can't believe this fandom went from having a cult following for an obscure Dutch show to making a whole fan continuation
