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'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!
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.
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
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
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!
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 💕
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 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!
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 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.
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!
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."
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 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
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
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

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.
I know the a-poses are there for composition and size reference but seeing the camera pan to someone just standing there kills me everytime

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.

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.

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

SAME XD
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!

I love the random uncolored untextured pomni randomly in the background
“be quiet, i can’t hear the escalator” has gotta be my fav joke in the entire pilot
1:38 the whacky animation is even in the storyboard 😂😂
Aaaa I was so curious as to what the storyboards for TADC looked like!! I love your style and expressions, thank you for gifting us with these! ❤️❤️❤️
The amazing digital circus characters are so good that I can’t have a single favorite character

Just so you know, you storyboarded my favorite visual gags on the pilot, great job.
I like how the animations are almost exactly like how the story boards are, down to the facial expressions and everything.
We definetely need a storyboard version of it.
THE MOMENT WHERE POMNI IS JUST FLOATINF THROUGHT THE VOID MAKES ME GIGGLE
Man the story boards almost look like a 2D rendition of the show
which im really enjoying it
The most interesting is to watch how this animation made almost nobody share this expirience. Anyway nice more content
Bubble is incapable of frowning, so it's cool to see the storyboard reveals some more about her character.
It’s so cool to see how well the expressions and poses translated into 3D
This show is just Storyboarded so well.
Seeing stuff like this always motivated me to learn how to 3d model and animate
3:54 I find it funny how Bubble’s smile went away in the storyboard but stayed for the final animation
