natural flow.
The types of ways that I research depends on where I am, if I’m on a
college computer I use google chrome and if I am on something like my
phone I use YouTube or Safari to research, then it boils down to what I am
trying to find, like a music video or a sound effect.

However, whenever I do have to research before doing anything, it’s

usually sound effects and music, and how I do it is that I think of what
would be best for a scene then I search on YouTube for the sound effects.
PART TWO: PLANNING
I mainly used my experience from making comics to plan things.
Because although sometimes I wing it a lot, I have to keep continuity in
mind, but in my experience, genuinely thinking is the best form of
planning.
But when I have some level of structure with it tends to be, get the voice
stuff and sound effects done, then move onto the music.
Some YouTube videos of music and sound effects where probably the
best element for me.
Basically, keeping mental notes are the key to this.
But when necessary I’ll write stuff down if I know that I might have a
chance of forgetting ideas.
I sticked fairly well to it.
The main key plot points are there, however how they may have been
presented is where the differences are.
A lot of it was because of pacing and time constraints, but it’s hardly
noticeable that such changes were actually made when you listen to the
story.
In many ways, it is the same story, just told in a different way.
Kind of like the Greek legends and fairy tales for example, same story
beats (for the most part) but slightly different in how they are told.
People like me.
So, like early adults, or something like SMG4 but a bit more dramatic.
I wanted to make something that I would have wanted to what when I
stated being a teenager.
They appeal to the audience because it’s something familiar but twisted in
a certain direction.
I find that sometimes the best comedy comes from character moments.
I think the designs did a pretty good job with helping when making my
story. It really blends the piece together.
Voice work mixing and how make music last longer for the story.
And most importantly, my patience towards technical problems.

PART FOUR: AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
Technically 8 as I don’t count my own response as that would be a conflict
of interest if I were to use it.
Not overcomplicating it.
With the characters that I have it can become confusing really fast, so
having that bar over my head helps.
You could list specific things, like YouTube channels rather than just
YouTube for instance.
Just because it’s here doesn’t mean that the response was pointless, to be
fair, it has a point but sometimes mentioning YouTube channels by their
names really depends on the context, like I mention SMG4 as a prime
influence in how I do thing, that makes sense in this given context, while if
say I had a random stock sound effect, it’s easier to share a link then to
remember a channel name.
Yes, they did, and I’m glad that my piers all share similar senses of what a
film can be.
The most prominent answer was “Yes”. So, I think that means that a
majority like the idea.
I only got one response that questioned it, so I made some adjustments, I
even expanded my range by actually asking someone from Canada what
they thought, and when they was listening to the audio, they admitted
that there was a part that made them laugh involving the character Evil
Bear realising that he messed up, saying that the part where Evil said “$h!
*” made them laugh.
They recognised what the multiverse with answers like these existing,
however not always in a positive light: “remove the multiverse part”
And although the Multiverse itself is not mentioned, the SMG4 character
Meggy appearing is what’s left of it because of lore reasons and when you

see how the Universe is affected by Matt, you can imagine how the larger
Multiverse is affected.
If they can watch a Marvel film with questionable special effects and
dialog then they’ll love my story.
Plus, with the majority of responses being positive, they’ll like it as well.
PART FIVE: FINAL THOUGHTS
My main challenges came from the time I was given, the area that I had to
record dialog (echoing and the fact the walls are not soundproof)
Pure spite and my ability to ask for help when needed (mainly in how I
should write stuff, the meat of the project i.e., the parts normal people
actually care about like the video and all its pieces are all me, but I will
admit that it is good to explain how I do things, but I prefer to do it when
I’m not asked to)
Despite having to work with my limitations it gives me a level of challenge
that I like as a content creator and voice actor.
Record it in a sound proof room with no echo and have a full month to do
the video itself and maybe another month to write all the writing parts,
because even if I don’t like it, there’s going to be an individual that wants
to learn.
