I love the tension created by the sign language when you actually understand what he’s saying. They’re already in a tense situation. Weapons have a very high possibility of being drawn at this point. The mute guy says “This is why I told you to bring your gun today.” Other guy thinks McCloud can’t understand him. “My partner thinks that-“ “I know what he said.” So not only can McCloud see their intentions to kill him, he also knows they tried to lie to him, he can read through any secret communication they may have planned to use, and they’re either bluffing and don’t have a weapon or, more likely, it confirms they do have weapons, and are ready to use them. The tension creates in this one scene is absolutely incredible, and I can’t wait to endure another four years before episode 2 comes out, lol. (But seriously, take your time, man.)
Stay tuned. It'll drop in a couple months. I have around 33 minutes finished out of a roughly 36 minute-long animation. The rest of this current scene, and the final scene of the cartoon, then episode 2 will be polished and published.
@@AFoxinSpace Can’t wait to see it, man. I was in 8th grade when the first episode released, and now I’m a couple years into college. I’ve followed the development of episode 2 ever since. And I can already guarantee it’ll be worth the wait. Finish strong. I’ll be here to see it when you do.
I came to say the same thing! I’m deaf and I loved seeing the sign language being done in this clip! I also have cochlear implants to allow me to hear and the voice acting is awesome!
0:20 I love how Eckblade's eyes move away from James as he's explaining his knowledge of James's improvised hidden pistol, almost like he's trying to imagine what it really looks like considering he probably only knows the description of it based on what Pigma has told him. It's a subtle but very attentive detail.
@@Gyrbae holy shit...talk about a POKER BLUFF if James doesn't know sign language. But if he does...then those two guys have the losing hand...and both parties know this...so...James raised...will you two guys call?~
How the hell are you creating more tension in one minute of a fan animated series, the plot of which I do not know, than the biggest studios with their blockbuster movies?
Jeff Because he's trying to make something that stands out. He's not shitting these out one after another just to cash in on a trend, or following some simple formula.
Jeff Really planning for tension is key to success. Music, animation, sudden movements and risr of the voices really add to a detail. Blockbuster movies sell because of effects and actors (sometimes name), not because of well put plot and tension.
The secret to this scene has to be the fact that he voiced all the characters, did all the animation, and wrote all the music himself. The synergy is absolutely unbelievable.
What's cool about this is that we've never seen any canon material (that I'm aware of) about James being a badass like this, so it gives Fred more freedom than with most other characters in this adaptation. Honestly this gave me chills. You can tell that James has been through a lot which makes him very dangerous. Can't wait to see more! :)
That begs the question... What exactly did James go through? We know that he was a Martial before, implying he was in the Cornerian Military. Maybe there was a previous Cornerian/Venomian Political situation/war before the Lylat Wars of StarFox 64. And putting Andross on Venom may be the key reason tensions are high again. Pepper did say he regretted doing that now.
Ardhamon5000 Dude I just noticed that in the final shot, James slightly moves his figure on his hand. Like it's his secret gun. Matthew Gafford is very subtle and should be very proud of his work.
In my opinion, the coolest thing about this scene are just the little details that tell you enough about Eckblade's twin. - His messy hair - His loose tie - He never takes his eyes off James - His hand is already over his gun holster I bet he lost his hearing from constant gun shots blasting his eardrums off
The end of It Is assured to mean something related to Shooting, but everything else Is superficial for those who disowns the language. [Meaning that there are so many possibilities, like *"We surround him out of the train walking slowly out of the window, then we shoot him",* or another perspective like: *"He Is covering his left arm. He seems to have attached a Fire Weapon"* (After that one, he might mean "and he Is about to shoot us down", or "and shot his partner").] (Although, It Is possible there Is just one Interpretation from someone familiarized with the sign language ;)
Evan Dinosaur it was said in another comment, but the creator confirms what was meant to be said is something along the lines of, “This is why I told you to bring your gun to work today”
Now I’m no professional but I believe he said/signed “This is why I told you to bring your gun today” or something about Killing James. What he basically reveals is that only one of them is carrying a gun, making it so much easier for James. Also, we don’t know if James actually knows sign language. He could have just been tipped off by the gun sign and is half-bluffing. It helps increase the tension of the scenario, leaning more towards James in favor of winning the fight if it ever starts, but no one really knows
I love the framing of these scenes -- the upshots of both James and the lemurs. Upshots usually imply dominance over another character, that one is looming authoritatively and is in control of the situation. But the fact that they're BOTH framed this way really sells that this is truly a standoff between the two parties. Matthew Gafford never ceases to impress me. :)
@Deepest Red I appreciate the advice buddy! I'm an animator/artist myself. Though the school I went to was crappy. We learned too little across to many disciplines. Basic game design, animation 2D & 3D, storyboarding, 3D modeling, etc. The school hss been demolished now. It went out of business. Compared to people like Matthew Gafford here, I have a long way to go. And that's including my two years spent there. And not only that, but the industry itself nowadays won't want to hire you unless you have a degree or two years of experience. Often both. But nobody wants to train anybody anymore. Everyone always expects you to have experience before just as soon as you start out. I get it. My animation sucks. But I want to be BETTER. I am NOT going back to school just so I can waste more money so somebody can give me a piece of paper telling me that I can.
In fairness a crazy homeless man randomly stabbing at a tablet with a light stylus has betting odds of drawing something objectively better than a Cal Arts Graduate. :P
you re-animated this entire scene, and this version is completely servicable but the version in the official episode 2 is definitely even better. major respect to you.
After seeing episode two and seeing how different this scene played out in the final version is amazing. The entire scene stuck with me after watching the episode. Desslar Coba seemed like a good guy, I kind of liked him. Seeing him talk to James and then just quietly slump over dead while James is looking at the file and talking about his own dislike of venom only to realize his friend is dead sent chills through me. There was subtle details I didn’t notice the first time I saw it, but during his last words “this really is and ugly planet” a small fleck of blood hits his hand and when James looks back up at him you see blood filling the corner of his mouth and coming out of his nose. And when eckblade says “your friend looks tired” you can really see the blood in his mouth trickling out 😨 Something about that is far more chilling than this version because you aren’t quite sure what killed poor Desslar. At least in this version you can assume he got shot or stabbed. Then there is the tense scene that follows between James and the separatists. Man, this was all so well done. Kudos to everyone involved
Yeah no, if this gets bigger than it already is, Nintendo will "bitch-slap" this show to kingdom come. Letting this show grow under the Big N's radar, is the only way this show will exist. If it goes onto Netflix, many people in Japan will watch it, Nintendo will see it, and "slam down" a cease and desist.
@@ichigokurosaki7762 I strangely don't think that Nintendo would. I mean I wouldn't be all too surprised if they did, but they seem to be the most....'reasonable?'.....out of all the big industry names out there when it comes to this kind of stuff. I mean look at Starbomb, they make money off of making fan music from a ton of licensed Nintendo IPs. They only got on Matt's case for having the Star Fox name in the title and it was an easy fix and not all too unreasonable a request. Hell channels have been taken down for less by other companies.
Wait a fuckin... that song in the background is Corneria, from StarFox 64. Very unique and smooth remix. Very clever use of it here as well. I love it.
I love little realisations like that. I just love how most (if not all) of the music he's used in this series is remixes from the games themselves, but done in ways that are so completely different in tone that you don't realise at first, and then you suddenly recognise the tune and go "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH"
In case someone wants to know what Eck's mute friend said, it was "This is why I reminded you to bring your gun." Or something like that idk, got it from another comment..l
Dude I know you are out there grinding man. I've never used patreon for any creator, however I think I might go sign up due to the shear dedication you've had towards this project and I hope you NEVER give up until it's complete. You're doing great freaking work. Thank you.
2 years later and this is still my favorite clip, down to the tiniest detail of the one lemur’s eyes glancing at James’s hands, and James moving his hand slightly. The final product is truly going to be worth the wait!
I have watched this, no joke, close to 50 times in the span of a week. This one minute clip contains more tension than most of the two hour movies I've watched. The subtlety of the movements is masterful.
Looking back on this compared to the release of episode 2 just shows how much this dude improved even while doing episode two. Theres more intense angles and so much more lighting in this scene in episode 2 compared to this it just shows in retrospect on how much of a taste we really got by watching this all those years ago
The whole scene is just so f-ing tense, but what's really doing it for me is the subtle eye movements. The mute lemur silently scanning over James when he refuses to give up his gun just adds a whole other level to this.
This one minute long contextless clip put me on the edge of my seat more than any big studio thing I've seen in a very, very long time. I love the visual filter, and the audio has this almost compressed crunch that gives it a 70's vibe that I'm in love with. Please don't stop working on it!
I really like this clip. The music, the faces, the moment James snaps back at Eckblade. Makes total sense for things to get more tense if James did indeed catch him attempting to lie.
Also, another detail I like: James' ears. Of course, it isn't subtle, but the closer they get to what might be a bloodbath, they drop or are pulled back further. It's crazy he isn't baring fangs or anything. Also, does he really have a shooter? Or is there... something else about his hand? ;)
CLEARLY, this will be worth the wait. The shots, the music, the lighting, the voice acting with the subdued, muddled audio...all of it is phenomenal. I love how even original characters who might not be a big part of the story are given such care and attention. This is everything I imagined Star Fox was...and MORE. Keep it up!
Andreas Nordvall This scene gives off so much intensity. Peppy's condition, the tension between the two agents and James McCloud. Stellar. I am so happy he used this soundtrack. It's my favorite in his arsenal.
@@LeftytheGansterGremlin You were by no means wrong about the tension in the scene though. Right on about the music. The implication of impending violence just drips from every little beat.
@@WordBearer86 That's right. The only thing that comes to mind is that I imagine James thinking about Fox in these situations. If he dies on Venom, his son will never know.
The scene is beautiful... the subtle movements of the characters and the music... lordy the music... Then when James says that part, the music picks up in melody and tempo by only a bit and it just... it works. Keep it up man, this is what creative passion looks like.
Dude!.. the voice of Eckblade fits SO well.. I really like his body language and how calm he speaks while hes glaring at the same time.. you instantly understand that you shouldn't fuck with him.. Then there's the fact that Lemurs always have that freaky stare in theyre eyes.. even when their not doing anything. Very clever :)
wow the change from this to final was incredible to see, i think the final release of this scene was better, especially the framing and the blood being a almost missable detail instead of a giant pool of blood
Gosh this is gorgeuos animation. The audio makes it all sound like Im reminiscing about old cartoons in my head, and the visual grants nostalgia for something Ive never seen before
Dude there’s so much I love about this clip. The voice acting, the atmosphere, the camera work. The animation. But the best is The attention to detail with the character acting. The way James eyes shift to left and right quickly. The sign language the lemur makes when talking to his partner. I’ve been studying animation and let me say for what you’re doing must not be an easy task. But I’m glad you haven’t given up on this project! How your not in the industry I will never know! Please take all the time you need making this man!
70's. 80's was the era of cheep animation and toy commercials. 70's was washed out color filters and rotosocped backgrounds. Everything about this makes it feel like a an homage to Ralph Bakshi's style or animation.
For sure. and I do remember way more toy commercials during the 80's. The 90's did not seem to have as much. I stopped watching TV in the 2000's so I don't know what toy commercials are like now.
These two lemur characters are like... really interesting to watch, and I'm really excited to see what characters are made for this because holy crap it's soooo great
I dig the very specific audio editing. Old school style compression, and very heavy handed with the frequencies. There's a sweetness to everything that more than forgives the slightly crude animation.
This seems really good. The atmosphere is so intense and the corneria theme from 64(I believe it is) adds an particular touch to the scene. Can't wait for espisode 2. Keep up good work
I love the two details between the partners. Despite wearing the same outfit they have their own ways of showing their personality through the way they put themselves together. It’s subtle but when you notice it it makes it all the more beautiful.
I can't anymore, I'm getting desesperate...NEED TO SEE FULL CAP! man, 3 years following your channel, I feel like it was yesterday when I first saw the first chapter. Hope you get the support to make this an actual monthly series.
Even though I am not a fan of Star Fox. For the first time. This interested me in the series for the first time in years to come. In my heart ❤ THANK YOU A Fox In Space.
I really love the overall tone you've given this series. This Space Noir style you've treated this is stellar. I think I can confidently say you've given this series more love than the creators have properly shown since 64. Zero was such a wasted opportunity, and it would've been a love letter to me and many others had they left Platinum to do what they do best, but they tied their hands entirely on the project. Thank you for your time and hard work with this series. This talent can't go to waste. Peace dude.
This has a strong classic James Bond vintage feel all over it. Awesome. Love the animation and the fact that you're doing all by yourself blows my mind even further. Hope you get assistants to ease the workload a bit.
I dunno what I love more about this. That Jack Wall-ass soundtrack in the back or having an assassin speak in sign language, this is utterly fantastic and I cannot wait to see what you pull out for episode 2

now that the actual episode is out, seeing these previews & how much has changed in the years is oddly inspiring.
Man, even just small clips really get my blood pumping and spine tingling. I love it!!
It's insane; the voice work is tremendous.
In my opinion, the coolest thing about this scene are just the little details that tell you enough about Eckblade's twin.
- His messy hair
- His loose tie
- He never takes his eyes off James
- His hand is already over his gun holster
I bet he lost his hearing from constant gun shots blasting his eardrums off
Some people think he may have damaged his throat somehow, which would only add to him loosening his tie, making it easier to breathe.
It's clear which is the more dangerous of the two
Not the talkative one
I bet he can hear just fine, just uses sign language for (attempted) secrecy
Some people are saying he's mute, but I have no idea.
You really, really know how to effectively create tension. This is Metroid Fusion level of master tension-building.
Scariest hand held game ever
You animated sign language? Wow, no wonder this is taking so long to complete! This looks great!

I love your interpretation of James McCloud. "I know what he said".
The subtle eye movement of the mute brother at the end as he looks for the hidden gun is astoundingly detailed.
Dude this is so good. The music, the voice acting. Everything is so well executed. I felt so much tension lol. Can't wait to watch the whole episode.
Dude you're seriously amazing! I don't know how you got so good at this, but I know I love it:D
0:44 I know sign language!!!
I was deaf :D
Xusho Wolf Would you tell me what he said? Just curious.
Alex Kerper ~This is why I warn you bring to your gun now~
Xusho Wolf Thanks!

Helps increase tension because it reveals that only one of them has a piece, narrowing down who James should shoot first.
Thank you very much for this! I'm also impressed he got the accurate(or at least able to be well understood) signs in the animation!
This one minute long contextless clip put me on the edge of my seat more than any big studio thing I've seen in a very, very long time. I love the visual filter, and the audio has this almost compressed crunch that gives it a 70's vibe that I'm in love with. Please don't stop working on it!
I just LOVE the 80's feel, the audio, the animation. Everything is ON POINT!
Those 2 subtle eye movements on the second lemur assassin (after he signs), continually sizing up his target, really nice touch!
I really like this clip. The music, the faces, the moment James snaps back at Eckblade. Makes total sense for things to get more tense if James did indeed catch him attempting to lie.
Also, another detail I like: James' ears. Of course, it isn't subtle, but the closer they get to what might be a bloodbath, they drop or are pulled back further. It's crazy he isn't baring fangs or anything. Also, does he really have a shooter? Or is there... something else about his hand? ;)
CLEARLY, this will be worth the wait. The shots, the music, the lighting, the voice acting with the subdued, muddled audio...all of it is phenomenal. I love how even original characters who might not be a big part of the story are given such care and attention. This is everything I imagined Star Fox was...and MORE. Keep it up!
What is this, Breaking Bad? Amazing direction, my dude.
Andreas Nordvall This scene gives off so much intensity. Peppy's condition, the tension between the two agents and James McCloud. Stellar. I am so happy he used this soundtrack. It's my favorite in his arsenal.
@@LeftytheGansterGremlin That's not Peppy. Guy is already dead too.
@@WordBearer86 Oohh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up! I appreciate it, my dude.
@@LeftytheGansterGremlin You were by no means wrong about the tension in the scene though. Right on about the music. The implication of impending violence just drips from every little beat.
@@WordBearer86 That's right. The only thing that comes to mind is that I imagine James thinking about Fox in these situations. If he dies on Venom, his son will never know.
Seeing this and the final edit shows how much work was put into this. Very impressive job
The scene is beautiful... the subtle movements of the characters and the music... lordy the music...
Then when James says that part, the music picks up in melody and tempo by only a bit and it just... it works. Keep it up man, this is what creative passion looks like.
Dude!.. the voice of Eckblade fits SO well.. I really like his body language and how calm he speaks while hes glaring at the same time.. you instantly understand that you shouldn't fuck with him..
Then there's the fact that Lemurs always have that freaky stare in theyre eyes.. even when their not doing anything.
Very clever :)
wow the change from this to final was incredible to see, i think the final release of this scene was better, especially the framing and the blood being a almost missable detail instead of a giant pool of blood
dude you are producing the magic that we need today. i could feel the intensity of the situation both parties felt in this clip
I can't even tell you how many times I've watched this clip. Excellent work, as usual! Can't wait for episode 2 to roll out!
But does the rabbit play games? o3o
I just realized that's James, not fox.
In this episode, Fox will be 12 years old.
And yes, that was James you just saw.
That is Star Fox senior. James is the name of his team >:(
Mr.Pat I was like "The fuck's with Fox's voice" 😂
@Andrés Legorreta
Ha, nice joke.
I imagine James is thinking of Fox in these intense situations. It's probably what keeps him alive and motivated.
Got to see this come together on stream. Loving how it's turning out! Great work
Gosh this is gorgeuos animation. The audio makes it all sound like Im reminiscing about old cartoons in my head, and the visual grants nostalgia for something Ive never seen before
The plot thickens
King Koi the thick plotens
King Koi Brock Berrigan...
Dude there’s so much I love about this clip.
The voice acting, the atmosphere, the camera work. The animation. But the best is The attention to detail with the character acting.
The way James eyes shift to left and right quickly. The sign language the lemur makes when talking to his partner. I’ve been studying animation and let me say for what you’re doing must not be an easy task. But I’m glad you haven’t given up on this project! How your not in the industry I will never know!
Please take all the time you need making this man!
The voice acting in this is so good, keep up the great work my man!
So badass, so 80's
70's. 80's was the era of cheep animation and toy commercials. 70's was washed out color filters and rotosocped backgrounds. Everything about this makes it feel like a an homage to Ralph Bakshi's style or animation.
For sure. and I do remember way more toy commercials during the 80's. The 90's did not seem to have as much. I stopped watching TV in the 2000's so I don't know what toy commercials are like now.
Lord Kiyo absolute filth
Trash.

Viewer discretion advised. Contemporary toy commercials are known to cause suicidal tendencies.
Yee
Oh, man, this looks even better! Keep up the great work, Fred!
Gaw damn these shoots, angles and perspectives are so well done
This was uploaded on my birthday. This is my birthday present.
OtakuChan happy birthday 🎉🙌🏾
Jay C. THANK YOU!!
Happy birthday! :P
OtakuChan no prob man. Have a blessed birthday
Happy Birthday to you!
I love how parts of the corneria theme from starfox 64 is played in the beginning and ending of the video, i love these subtle easter eggs
These two lemur characters are like... really interesting to watch, and I'm really excited to see what characters are made for this because holy crap it's soooo great
They literally die one second after this scene ends...
I dig the very specific audio editing. Old school style compression, and very heavy handed with the frequencies. There's a sweetness to everything that more than forgives the slightly crude animation.
This seems really good. The atmosphere is so intense and the corneria theme from 64(I believe it is) adds an particular touch to the scene. Can't wait for espisode 2. Keep up good work
The colour effects, saturation and massive use of vignettes make this subtly awesome.
I love the two details between the partners. Despite wearing the same outfit they have their own ways of showing their personality through the way they put themselves together. It’s subtle but when you notice it it makes it all the more beautiful.
I can't anymore, I'm getting desesperate...NEED TO SEE FULL CAP!
man, 3 years following your channel, I feel like it was yesterday when I first saw the first chapter. Hope you get the support to make this an actual monthly series.
i love James' persona!! he looks so cool :b
My god! Amazing work as always. You really breathe life into the characters.
Even though I am not a fan of Star Fox. For the first time. This interested me in the series for the first time in years to come.
In my heart ❤ THANK YOU A Fox In Space.
I like how you give us subtle clues in each clip that expand upon the actual story. So genius.
after watched the 2nd episode this scene is a lot tense than the final release
Wow, now that the episode is out I'm amazed to see that you re-did the whole scene in different angles. Must've been a tough decision.
this needs to be a professional series with a whole team of animators! So impressed, its just a min clip but this got me hype for S2!
I really love the overall tone you've given this series. This Space Noir style you've treated this is stellar. I think I can confidently say you've given this series more love than the creators have properly shown since 64. Zero was such a wasted opportunity, and it would've been a love letter to me and many others had they left Platinum to do what they do best, but they tied their hands entirely on the project. Thank you for your time and hard work with this series. This talent can't go to waste. Peace dude.
This has a strong classic James Bond vintage feel all over it. Awesome. Love the animation and the fact that you're doing all by yourself blows my mind even further. Hope you get assistants to ease the workload a bit.
The animation and voices are so amazingly perfect
I dunno what I love more about this. That Jack Wall-ass soundtrack in the back or having an assassin speak in sign language, this is utterly fantastic and I cannot wait to see what you pull out for episode 2
I would give anything to have a network pick this up. This is currently the freshest animation out there. Please Mathew keep up the great work!
JAMES IS SO COOL! Keep going!
I keep coming back and watching this- I cannot wait for this because the level of effort you put into this is amazing and I know it’ll be beautiful
This lemur duo reminds me of the two hitmen from Fargo season 1. Grady Numbers and the deaf dude, Wes Wrench-they use sign language too.
Keep up the good work!3 years and i am still amazed
