Behind the Scenes: Percy's Chocolate Crunch

Here's a behind the scenes look of my remake of Percy's Chocolate Crunch. 

FILMING AND EDITING

Two cameras were used for filming. Both a Kodak Playsport camera (first half) and a Vivitar DVR910 Camera (rest of video). Movie Maker was used as the editing software and Bandicam to record the Vivitar clips. Once again, I edited the still photos in MS paint.

SETS, EFFECTS, AND PROPS

Actual dirt was used to give Percy an "effect" of getting covered in coal. The "chocolate factory" used was actually a Trackmaster Revolution mine tunnel accessory with paper covering it.

Have you wondered how this was made? Well here's your chance to go into a behind the scenes look of how this video was made.

FILMING AND EDITING

For filming, I used a Kodak PlaySport Waterproof Camera (which is seen in one of the production photos). For editing, I used the Online Video Converter site to download the actual TTTE episode for audio and used Movie Maker to edit the remake. For the facial expressions, I used MS paint to edit the train's faces (with custom faces and actual TTTE faces from TTTE episode screenshots).

PUPPETEERING OF TRAINS

I used some old wire and some rubber bands to move the trains without their motors on.

SETS

The Cranky model at the docks scene and the Tidmouth Sheds are from the Super Station set. I had to pry Cranky off the sheds to use him in the docks scene. A hammer with rubber bands tied on was used to secure him and prevent any tipovers.

I used my lamp as a backlight for the Tidmouth Sheds scenes.

EFFECTS

Water and Grape Jelly was used as the squashed fruit that splattered all over Percy after crashing. I poked a hole in the bottle for the water to drop all over Percy. The paper towel was used to protect the floor from any jelly.

PRODUCTION PHOTOS

Behind The Scenes: Drifting Train

Ever wondered how this was made? Here's you're answer.

HOW THE "DRIFTING TRAIN" EFFECT WAS EXECUTED

To stabilize the train, I used some invisible bricks and welded them on the guides of the rear bogie. In order for the train to "drift", I put a motor on the top of the rear bogie and welded the front bogie.

FILMING AND EDITING

I used Roblox Studio in a generic baseplate template place and recorded the action using Bandicam. As usual, I edited the video with Movie Maker.

Behind the scenes: Krabs (fanmade series) 13

FILMING AND EDITING

I used the same usual place as my film set and used Bandicam as my recording software. For editing, I used a third party YouTube downloader program and converted the original "Oh Yeah Mr. Krabs" video to an audio file and used a new version of Movie Maker to edit the video.
