Behind the Scenes: Percy's Chocolate Crunch

Here's a behind the scenes look of my latest remake.

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.

Behind the scenes: Percy, James, and the Fruitful Day

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.

SCENE WHERE TRAIN RUNS OVER THE FIGURES BY DOING A DRIFT:
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

A behind the scenes look of episode 13 of my fan-made Krabs series.

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.
