WEAPONIZE YOUR HYPERFIXATIONS FOLKS!! IT WORKS‼️‼️

This is a fun example of the kind of stuff that gets hashed out in the animatic editing stage!! I had a blast with this sequence and this episode!!

Jentry slows down/speeds up as she gets more or less confident in what she's playing!

This approach also allowed us to more freely pick and choose when to cut back and forth between Jentry and Gugu since the two scenes are happening simultaneously.

My solution was to grab a MIDI of "The Moon Represents My Heart" and bring it into GarageBand (did you know they have a guzheng preset??).

I isolated the melody, transposed it into the right key and tempo, and then exported several versions of the song at various speeds

I cut a shortened version of the song. But we needed to hear Jentry playing along—AND we really wanted the flexibility to adjust her playing on-the-fly in the edit bay, so we could choose which notes Jentry hits/misses & show the cause/effect relationship with the traps.

buildup went crazy

This was a cultural reset

I'm sorry that's the worst man. Go get ice cream or something, it's a key step to healing
