The Short Patrol: Redwall Fan Animatic (YouTube)
Last year,
sent me a short, humorous retelling of Jaques's The Long Patrol: A Tale of Redwall" in a six-page script. As a fan who got acquainted with this book before the other parts and still loves it a lot, I laughed from the bottom of my heart: all deus-ex-machina moments and other plot crutchs are presented equally truthfully, witty and yet with great love for the original story - imperfect, but atmospheric and cozy...
I then said that if I had 48 hours a day, I would have made an animatic based on this script... Well, Kel liked the idea)) And what was a half-joke in the beginning, gradually came to life: Kelchan held a casting, recruited real voice actors and edited a gorgeous audio. And I made a draft animaticwith crooked muzzles and stock backgrounds, and then redrawn the backgrounds by hand, added color (in some places even light) and additional frames. Total - 567 frames and more than thirty backgrounds for a seven-and-a-half-minute video.

Once again, I am so happy you loved this idea! It was a blast making this dream come to life, even if it was a bit stressful!) Your hard work is very much loved by myself, everyone on this project, and the folks who watch it! I hope maybe we can do this again, now that we've grown and learned from this experience... After everything has calmed down, of course!
As I said in the credits, you're an amazingly awesome and wonderful person to work with <3

Thank you so much again for the opportunity to work on such great progect! I would not soon decide to do animatic if not for you ^^
You did a phenomenal job as a director, producer and editor - and all the actors you cast are perfect <3
I look forward to working on something like this in the future when you have time, strength, funds and inspiration again!

Badgers don't get enough love as Big Huge Critter-folk, or they still need a bit more. I mean, literally, they need more. Look at that gigantic, walk-in-the-woods and knitting and crafting badger-woman, wondering why she's kept at arms' length by everyone...well, aside from the fact that one of her arms are the same size and mass of everyone else she knows.
I applaud the Short Patrol, with at least someone that isn't particularly short therein! <3

"Let's go to Redwall Abbey and raid their pantry...err...I mean...umm.....visit our friends!" LOL!
Speaking as someone who has read all the Redwall novels; that actually does sound like something a hare would say!
Joking aside though, great video. Love the voices and artwork!
