I mean, would they have had a young teenager lose a limb, or at least a young adult?

Oh, they're both so young and innocent with their matching limbs.

JWCT SPOILER ALERT BEN BEING THA TOP YASAMMY SHIPPER

"I think we should split up"

"You and Yaz!?"

He got offended by Sammys words.

You telling me this guy got a gf?

You asked for it, so here's a selection of my storyboards from that scene! This scene went through quite a bit of changes, and we were trying out different things for every version, so some of these are from my rough pass, and some are from the clean pass. I went a bit too over-the-top for my original rough pass -- Kenji full-on cried and everything -- so that got removed even before the clean pass, but I thought it'll be fun to see haha. For the clean pass we also tried something where you can't see the crack until both of them had left the room, but in the final the spiderweb crack was brought back.

Bonus meme from this scene that was on our meme wall for forever:

Aside from the usual professional influences from other movies and Arcane, there were two stupid inspirations from this scene I'd like to share. Ben reaching for the door but Kenji pushing open it first is inspired by the Dreamworks feature building's second floor female restroom, where I had this happen too often when I tried to open the door from the inside that it instilled a primal fear in me. Second-to-last image is a shot of Ben reaching for Kenji but just missing him that got taken out at the end, and the inspiration was us seeing Leah Atwick at lunch one day, but she couldn't hear us, and Heidi tried to reach but just missing her by an inch.

some favourite moments I did for episode 3... introducing Sammy and Bumpy was really exciting and I wanted to make the moments really special!

Very much inspired by the Coco blu-ray deleted scenes storyboards, The Good Dinosaur, and HTTYD3 for this episode

thank you all who watched JWCT SS2 on Premiere Day!!!

Now that it has been 24 hours, I will share the shot that my work friends kept making fun of me for (and still do) ...

presenting

my over-rendered mangoes (at least for storyboard standards lmao)

Anyway, thanks to our Eric Hawkins for accurately and beautifully matching my intended lighting for these fruit, Ryan Donoghue for matching the perfect tree sim and movement, and our Animation Team at CG CG, for taking this shot of fruit that really needed to be like one frame and no color and making them shine, lmao.

Anywho, enjoy season 2 everyone! The Crew continues to love to see everyone's thoughts :]

This quote from the Jr. Novelization of Chaos Theory is wild. Darius in his dino-hater era due to trauma lives rent free in my head.

some favourite shots I did for episode 6... it was so fun crafting the final bridge scene from Travis' script, and seriously all the credit for the amazing opening seq goes to our EP Aaron for taking the emotion in Yaz's exposure therapy to the next level!

Inspo for this ep mainly came from the Alebrijes attack and car chase boards from the Coco blu-ray deleted scenes. Seriously yall, if you're an aspiring board artist, go watch those, they're all masterclasses in camera, framing, and acting.

Some thoughts below about these boards if yall are interested...

Becklespinaxes - there was a LOT of research that went into becklespinaxes (aka altispinaxes) to make this bridge scene happen. In the original script, there was the idea that Blondie (the yellow becklespinax) would be ramming and spinning the side of the van all over the bridge from the beginning, all while ben was still driving forward and Sammy was trying to climb the side latter of the van and into Yaz's window. - I think in writing it made for a really rad scene, but there were some concerns that the physics of all of that, as well as some staging issues, so I dove into becklespinax research to see if some of these problems could be fixed by grounding the conflict in the dino's hunting/attack styles - From what I can remember, as a mid-sized theropod, the becklespinax would've hunted small sauropods and the like, not van-sized dinos, so having her ramming the side of the van was out. Instead, I theorized the becklespinax would more likely be interested in rooting out the tastey treats inside, like a bird fishing out grubs from inside a tree or log. Thus, Blondie jamming her head into the window was born - From there on I tried to keep the van-and-dino physics and behaviours as grounded as possible, but i'll be the first to admit that physics was never my strong suit and sometimes the plot's just gotta come first over science

One detail I loved that unfortunately seemed to get passed over in animation was the way the second becklespinax, Brownie, entered the shot from behind the camera, and covered up the "NOW LEAVING DINOSAUR FREE ZONE" to just be "NOW DINOSAUR ZONE". Corny, I know! But it felt right and I was heartbroken to see that it wasn't caught in time to be able to go back and change it

Also no heart by sammy's name on yaz's phone :( idk why, sorry gang

About boards, an interesting thing to keep in mind was that even though this bridge may seem like a pretty isolated and simple set, there were actually several moments/shots that I didn't end up using because they revealed too much of the background, specifically the exterior island set and the exterior mainland sets that connected to the bridge! That's right, in the actual set models, those parts are just the cliff ledges and a bit on the sides, everything else would have to be what's called a paintover. That's something for aspiring storyboard artists to keep in mind about working on 3D TV shows: the sets come before storyboards in the pipeline, so often you have to make what you want to do work to the set, and not the other way around like in feature!
