I'm glad your awesome face expressions for Pomni's going insane scene when she stares at the headset computer were kept and translated so well into the final product! Really captured the dark comedy vibe ^^
@@NezhahahI can only imagine, I remember how part of what really drew me in was just how Pomni's face is barely ever still for more than a second, and when it is, it's for a good reason Y'all really did the best you possibly could with your resources, and it shows!
3:48 I love how for this shot of him going “oh no!” they didn’t even feel like translating it in an any more stylish way and just went “eh it’s what was on the storyboard”
I know there's probably an animation reason for it, but seeing an untextured Pomni model just standing in all the office rooms is both amusing and kinda unsettling
Y'know after seeing the ending of the pilot, it was the best thing about the pilot. It looks like the exit IS possible and how she fully recognized the VR headset it makes me want to see the series even more, also the fact that the void is prohibited gives me the theory that only the void can gives the answers to pomni's questions. Im so exicted for the next episode
When they were heading off to Kaufmo's room, something I noticed is that a bunch more rooms had their characters crossed off, and I imagine that most of them abstracted, but...what if one ventured out into the void? Caine at least seems somewhat aware of the effect being there can have on a person, so I feel like if we ever fully visit the place where he stores the abstracted, we might meet someone who didn't abstract at all, but was "spoiled" by the void!
@@damienearl8302kingler had 2 rooms 1 where it has a cross or slash on it and another where it is normal also the Mannequins during the restaurant scene also has rooms
@@iwatchstuffs7933 I feel like something worth noting about the first part is that the crossed out figure actually seems to be the black king, while Kinger is the white one, so maybe they came in together or something!
I feel like the back rooms hold the key to escaping. It seems like they change with each player and contain fragments of their past memories - hence pomni seeing the computer and office building. Once someone recollects their memories, he or she can reassemble them and create a self image that will allow him or her to leave through the void. Id like to think a rogue programmer put it in there to provide a way to escape that wasn't necessarily intended. Maybe Caine only knows about the void but not the rooms pomni went through. My head canon says these people were chosen intentionally. They are either lonely, broke, or suffering from treatment resistant mental illness who were manipulated into "trying" a breakthrough therapy. Their avatars undergo a certain memory wipe that allows them to have a basic understanding of their past sans the details. That's why pomni just says "put on a weird headset." The full process was likely much more involved but she doesn't remember it. The hardest to explain will be how the program has gone on for 20 years without the outside world noticing people are gone.
is it weird that I get almost as much joy from watching the jagged, flat storyboard as I get from watching the complete animation? I just love 2D animation so much, and have nothing against one frame per second animations either
2:19 my thought process for specifically the “Pomni losing her mind scenes”™️ was how interesting they must have been to storyboard because all the compositions in this pilot were FANTASTIC
Sometimes I see story boards and wish the show was 2D instead of 3D but this just would not work in 2D at most I can see a 2D character in a 3D world showing up and dieing in an episode
1:40 i didn't notice Kaufmo hits pink monster for many times background while Kinger's panic in the front make me laughing so much and its my new favorite scene now Its really so funny and adorable storyboard!
Seeing them in 2D version is...curious. And i'd just like to say that either they're in 2D or 3D I love the characters so much. Also I absolutely love Jax when he complains because he can't hear the escalator. Truly is a calming sound, and it's so relatable
I always love the story board and expressions of Pomni! I have a feeling that she knew Cane before she got here. Always glad to see something like this and hope to get some tips on how to make something like you do!
There's just something that makes watching these storyboards feel so special, like seeing the characters in 2d, unique extressions or even movements that weren't kept in the final or just to compare both versions. Loved the video, loved the storyboards, great job!
I can’t get enough of this show. Anything that’s “new” I’ve got to see-like these storyboards. The characters, environments, lore? Just captivating. I know it’s just a pilot, but damn is it one of the BEST pilots I’ve ever seen. Love Gooseworx’s work 💕
I love seeing this side by side. Also, I know this isn't what the video is about but Pomni's "going insane squeal" in the hallway is top tier voice acting and one of my favorite sounds in the world
Really enjoying all this behind the scenes content! As someone with interest in the animation process but only abstract understanding of how it truly becomes a finished piece, I’m learning a lot!
I also realized after Zooble’s head smacked into Kinger he looked like he took more impact in the storyboard and was kind of sitting, while in the final he stayed with his stiff reaction and stood there holding Zooble’s head Dang you did a GREAT job man this is SO COOL
beautiful!! i love seeing storyboards and animatics of things i enjoy. amazing work, i learned a lot from your video :) thank you for sharing, its really interesting to see for everyone but specially for animation students.
1:38 I love how the storyboard to the final version is just 1:1 on Kaufmo's abstracted form comically smashing down repeatedly on the Gloink Queen within frames of each strike. One of my favorite parts of that scene, so I'm glad they didn't just interpret that as "big abstracted monster brutally attacks queen" and instead "haha abstracted monster go brrrrrrrrrrr."
This is awesome! I've been trying to improve my storyboard skills, and this was a super cool video to learn some techniques on how to do it. Thanks for showing this!
Everyone involved with this project just seem so passionate, I hope so at least this show is a blast. Sad bubble not making it to the Final Cut is a tragedy
i like the storyboard for 'pomni goes insane' a bit more than the final tbh, its less comical and easier to empathize with. bubble frowning was such a missed opportunity too 😭
NO BCUZ WHY IS THE STORYBOARD LIKE A FAN-ANIMATIC (Also 2:14 why does that pose remind me of that one speedrun meme where the guy stirs stuff in a bowl 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
We're insanely happy as well!! We didn't expect DC to get as much hype as it did since it's a new show, but you guys blew us away with the support!! On behalf of the team, thank you
Y'all should check out our Storyboard Lead's boards too! Without Robin, it would have all gone wrong LOL ruclips.net/video/ffwWVAoQxOw/видео.htmlsi=9rTUpqfLDOENsfHo
I always thought it was cool how little room for interpretation there is left after the storyboarding/shotlisting. Of course there are creative liberties taken, but it otherwise follows the guides pretty closely.

Also, I love how Pomni doesn't seem to have a single frame in the final version where she's anything but confused and/or horrified.
I mean she just wore this headset and appeared in the most random place ever with these people
I hate to break it to you but when she starts thinking that this is all just a dream she has a generic happy face instead of a scared one
Id imagine the look into the void is the slap in the face about getting out.
@@raventheampwave1900I think she’s forcing the smile unconsciously to try to keep her sane. But to each their own. Or maybe she is actually happy but just with the split second thought she’s in a dream. Both are cool interpretations.
Point is, Pomni’s story boards look great 🫠
bubble changes to a frown many times in the storyboard but its never added in the final or in any other step in production
1:37 something about Kaufmo's slamming just being 2 drawings and speeding up gradually is hilarious
and how it's directly translated in the final one
it actually fits even better because it is AWFULLY close to how things look in digital spaces like in games (garry's mod and such), further making you believe in that world.

@@lordforlorn5694 No idea, probs a last minute decision made in animation stage

I still love that the aggressive abuse that Abstracted Kaufmo was doing to the Gloink queen translated well to the final version.
It was just supposed to be placeholder hahahah
Honestly iam surprise i saw this when i seatch digital circus and glad i found official storyboards! This is very good!
And hope 4:08 ya post those remaining scenes!
1:40 the monster movement is so precise according to the storyboard

"ladies first- wait no wait would i say that" Jax is already my favorite character!
God I love the joke where Kingler's hands get stolen while trying to rescue Zooble.
I love watching storyboards for shows especially for 3D ones because then it’s like a reanimated special but without needing to wait
there's so much personality in just the storyboards alone. really goes to show how much work was put into it
**Kinger staring as Zooble's head draws nearer to the Gloink queen's mouth**
Kinger: "oh!"
Zooble: "Hey! Kinger YOU MOTHERF-"
2:49 I like how the shark teeth from the storyboard made it into the final.
You did a great job in helping this show come to life :D
3:37 JSHDYEJAPIDNU POMNI JUST A POSING THERE HELP I CANT🗿🗿😭😭
Everything in this project came together so well! Nice work, hope to see the show go far.
the part where pomni goes insane really remind me of the stanley parable
0:33 is always the best part
(and probably the only Jax bit where he actually closes his mouth like for real for realz)
I LOVE when people post behind the scenes! It’s honestly so inspiring and so cool to see early production!❤
Untextured Pomni A posing is most of the shots made me giggle way more than it should’ve
Bubble's smile faultering after Caine disappears in the story board is so funny to me 😭
Seeing them in 2D version is...curious.
And i'd just like to say that either they're in 2D or 3D I love the characters so much.

Love how this part 2:03 is just titled "Pomni Goes Insane" lol
And better yet its very accurate lmfaoo
I love how its actually just pomni going insane like i thought it was i love the show so much it just feels perfect in everyway
The shot of Kaufmo throwing Ragatha around is one of my favorites! And Pomni looking into all the doors is iconic. Well done!
I love seeing this side by side. Also, I know this isn't what the video is about but Pomni's "going insane squeal" in the hallway is top tier voice acting and one of my favorite sounds in the world
“be quiet, i can’t hear the escalator” has gotta be my fav joke in the entire pilot
I love the random uncolored untextured pomni randomly in the background
3:50 I love how in the storyboard, Bubble actually frowns at the fact that Caine just ditched him there. XD
1:38 the whacky animation is even in the storyboard 😂😂
I love that the whole team is publishing their involvement. So nice that you're alowed to do (and I assume encouraged) to do this.

2:03 I love how it’s just called “Pomni goes insane” but it’s better than going abstract 🤷
The most interesting is to watch how this animation made almost nobody share this expirience. Anyway nice more content
Kaufmo repeatedly smacking the Gloink Queen without any impact, like a cat batting at you is so fun to me.

Man the story boards almost look like a 2D rendition of the show
which im really enjoying it
Wow this is amazing!! You and the team did an AMAZING job with this pilot, I loved it sm!!!!^^
first time in my LIFE that I feel like the 3d fully captured the 2d essence perfectly. No notes. God Im so obsessed already
