#cameraman batim

[mwolf0epsilon]

I may not be as active in the BATIM/BATDR fandom as I used to be for various reasons, but that doesn't mean I still don't love good old Cameraman. He (alongside Miss Twisted and Brute) were the best thing to come out of the Crack-up Comic series, and I wish they got more love from the fandom in general.

With that in mind I went and sculpted him, as well and my own fanmade monster version, the Watcher (which in my old Out of Bounds AU were the loyal lackeys of Twisted Alice).

Closer individual looks under the cut! ---

Cameraman, now in full 3D glory!

The Watcher, the ink-squirting eyes and ears of the Twisted Angel herself...

this batch is a bit more steeped in head cannon, especially the names. I was thinking the names they were introduced by in the comics were more titles than anything, so I took a bit of creative liberty ahaha :)

also struggled on Nor's camera lens- guess I can understand the Pixar employees working on WALL-E now

Second part of my unfinished batim au trash. Also these was incomplete so I've clean them up despite tumby-chan continues to fucked up the quality. [First]

Your honor I am in love with camera head characters

When your entire existence hinges on a cartoon wolf becoming a oneshot superhero...

just realized something. Miss Twisted is supposed to mirror Alice and the Brute is supposed to mirror Boris, so, by order of elimination, Cameraman is supposed to mirror Bendy. The Projectionist is to Cameraman what the Ink Demon is to Bendy. That's why the Projectionist is so strong.

idk if i ever post this but here it is!

Been a while since I drew anything Terrible Sin related, so did some expression practice with Bendy! Then took a crack(up) at drawing Cameraman! All I've drawn today are toons-

Idea I might elaborate on later:

SOCIETY FOR THE SHELLACKING OF THAT SHITHEEL JOEY DREW.

(Or the SSSD for short)

The Ink Demonth Day 28: Picture

Seems like one of the failed cloned toons is finally getting the full picture of just how wrong everything is... How ironic that it had to be a camera that suddenly became aware of it’s surroundings...

Still frames under the cut, because I’m quite pleased with them!

[bravagio]

Yo! how's going? I'm so tired lol, here we have memes, Jack and Sam-sam been the middle age married couple they are, the Projectionist protects Alice cause strong must protect the sweet and the toon trio show some affection to their old man in their own way. I'm not used at drawing sweet and affectionate things cause they give me second hand embarrassment but I still need to try.

(The one with jack n sam is based on this post)

Cameraman brainrot

I can't decide if I want him to be tiny & baby or tiny & ready to throw hands, but either way I'd die for him

So. Modern AU time, I might as well explain it

The studio isn't an animation studio, it's a media production company. As in movies and shows, either live-action or animated. The main thing produced is movies though, and there have been three movies produced. Two for two novels and one for the batim game itself. The novels are Dreams Come to Life and The Lost Ones, they're both prequels to the batim movie. And it all begins in 2036. (I might end up creating a timeline for this as well)

The employees mainly have the same roles, but some have modern alternatives.

Joey - Owner of the studio as well as actor, he played Ink Bendy in the batim movie

Norman - Lead movie director (usually the one who directs the movies that have been produced), actor

David - Animator/artist, helped develop CGI used for Beast Bendy, cameraman

Henry - Main protagonist, lead/head artist

Sammy - Music Director, actor, and well-known musician (kinda a rockstar?)

Johnny - Organist

Susie - Actress, both regular and voice

Jack - Lyricist, actor

Allison - Actress, both regular and voice (like Susie)

Grant - Financial advisor

Shawn - Set and prop builder, part of engineering team

Lacie - Set builder, part of engineering team

Bertrum - Set builder, co-leader of engineering team, actor

Wally - Janitor

Tom - Set and prop builder, leader/head of engineering team, actor (both Boris and himself), representative/manager of Gent

The actors have their own dressing rooms that are completely furnished, such as cardboard cutouts of their favorite character of the franchise/who they play as, plushies, a vanity set with a mirror, a couch, figurines, and (in Susie and Allison's case), a neon sign of the character they voice act as. Like their own rooms to make them comfortable while at the studio or on set.

No stunt doubles either, the actors did it all themselves. Norman made them take fighting classes to help prepare them for intense or fight scenes, so they could both prepare and strengthen themselves.

Some fun facts:

• Henry has a scar on his cheek from the Brute Boris battle.

• CGI technology was used to animate and create Searchers, Lost Ones, and Beast Bendy.

• A well furnished and well built apartment complex was built by the studio, meant for roommates, and employees who either needed or wanted to live there were free to do so.

• Sammy composed and played the songs on the radios that were placed randomly in the batim movie.

• The actors were allowed to design their own costumes, but makeup artists were still required. Tailors too, in order to fix the costumes up and fit them to the proper person so there would be no complications or issues.

• Allison's sword is made out of metal and paint.

• The Gent pipes often used in the batim movie were authentic Gent pipes that Tom had (reluctantly) allowed to be used for production.

• Black slime was used as "ink" in the Dreams Come to Life scene where the pipe exploded in Sammy's sheet music closet, coating him and his documents in slime.

• Relating to the one above, Sammy's pure reaction to the slime being dumped on him without warning and on camera was so spot on and perfect for his character that they left it in and didn't attempt to reshoot it.
