storyboard. i don't usually storyboard for the videos i make but i had a clear -ish idea of what i wanted to do for this one + it's a lot easier for me to edit with placeholder images in mind. this template is actually from another project in the works LOL
i HAD planned to include 3d models in the final video but ultimately i never got around to it + i was a little afraid what that would do to my export time.
final export time: 4-ish hours
the very first video (i believe) made in the process of teaching myself how to use after effects was actually a rabbit hole MV feat. KAITO, you can watch this here. a lot of its DNA made its way into this new version (the bridge + "bluh bluh bluh"'s + ending specifically) but it's fun to see how far i've come overall. hopefully my projects are a bit more optimized now.

i was sort of going for a "frutiger metro" vibe style wise... though this wasn't really the plan from the start (the plan = no plan). if it had been i probably would've gone harder with the style influence. i just wanted something sharp and stylised to anchor the project to/tie the visuals together a bit better.
outfit was based on this image that i never finished. really wanted to go for an old anime-style render for this one. i like the idea of bunny outfit x big pants x lots of belts. very mc diamond esque. i'm glad it gets to have its time now.
