Giant Fantos was fun to board. For scale we took a cue from Jurassic Park and always cut him off a little, impluing he was too large to fit on screen
In Kid Cosmic we played a lot with cutting on action - which is cutting in the middle of an action and finishing it in the next shot. It helps hide the cuts. This is a very common technique in live action and animated features, but for whatever reason you don’t see much of in TV.
Finished season 2 and I absolutely loved it! Especially the payoff with the goo stone. Thigh I'm curious, what lead to decision of Kid not having the telekinesis stone for most the season? Is it because it's pretty OP?
Glad you liked season 2! This was Jo's season so we wanted to focus on her . This might have been harder if Kid had his full awesome powers. There was also a bit of a "What's the worst thing that could happen to a character - and how could that end up being the best thing that could happen to them?" kind of a deal going on.
POV shots are a great way to answer the question, “whose story is it,” by literally showing the story through their eyes. The Pyramid Puzzle of Pain was Flo’s story so.....
Hi, Dave. My name’s Adia. I’m a huge fan of your shows Wander Over Yonder and Kid Cosmic. Both of them are fantastic, you and your crew did a great job on them both! I’ve been in a bit of a Lonely Planet mode lately, so I wanted to ask you a question about it. How come the original version of Wander inside the cottage, being cuddle by the vines in one of the storyboards were cut out? ( I know your not a story broad worker on the show but I really wanted to know why the scene was changed.)
I did storyboards on Wander, but not that episode.
But I also oversaw the editing of the series as well, so I can speak to that. Those scenes were cut for time. Television has strict time limits for shows because they make their money selling commercials. If the show is too long, something has to go!
That’s the great thing about making shows for Netflix. The shows can be exactly as long (or short) as they need to be!
Already finished binging the series? Haven’t seen it yet? Here’s some bonus shorts that highlight the teams’s powers! Boarded by the great Paul Watling, Justin Nichols and Vaughn Tada!
Kid Cosmic has some potential to it, 😃 I love all of Craig’s works. And season 2, you say?~ 😏
Kid Cosmic will return!
Today is launch day for Kid Cosmic! There’s nothing better than working with people you like on something you are proud of. That is certainly true of Kid Cosmic!
And none of it would have been possible without the unprecedented trust and support given to us by Netflix. It’s a wonderful studio at a wonderful moment in time. I hope you like our show!
