First let me apologize that it is February 2nd and not February 1st. Missed it by just 8 hours.
Box Peek progress is coming along really well finally. I mean I've kind of been pulling stupid hours this past week to get the intro finished in time, mangaka mode, but now I have a real gauge on how long it will take to draw, ink, color, cut, glue, shoot, and edit the rest of the series. For some dumb reason I'm convinced Box Peek will be ready to premiere in the spring.
Anyway let me know what you think of this opening. I know I originally stated that I didn't want to show anybody anything until it was all done, but it's been nine months and I think I owe you something. There's still plenty of time to change things if there's something people really hate. Obviously there are dozens of stupid things that didn't come out right, and ideas that should have been better, but I'm realizing that the only way to really finish Box Peek (or anything in life maybe) is to accept my dumb mistakes and move forward. I still want it to be good though. Something between perfection and trash. Honestly I exported this video six times this morning before clicking it live on youtube just now. I'm slowly growing.
It's my goal to premiere the first episode within Easy Allies' two year anniversary show (if we can't end up streaming the show I'll save it for another day). I want to make it clear though that it's just my goal. It's a goal that would be cool to do. I'll try!
Thanks for your patience, hope to share the rest relatively soon.

Love & Respect,
Kyle

Actual production value = The production value I expected, multiplied by 9000.

Hahaha Kyle must have known someone like me was feverishly refreshing the patreon page to get the new box peek info.

I don't remember who, but I was listening to someone talk about the creative process and they said that more often than not "Finished is better than Perfect": That said, THIS LOOKS FREAKING AMAZING.

Oh my god this is incredible, I feel in love the second the character at the beginning of the intro turned around and has their expression change. Then it just continued to eat better from that. Amazing work, Kyle.

Anonymous

A few things: - I think the voices in the song are mixed a tad too low, as a non-native with little spoken English exposure it's real hard to understand what's sung and I needed a second, earplugs-powered listen to get it. - It's awesome. - Amanda is a worldwide treasure. Also think of season 1 as your first gunpla. Season 2 will have much less crisps. You're doing great Kyle, thanks for letting us in.

Kyle, this is genius. Love it! And thanks for the candor! It's always appreciated!

Great Stuff! Kyle don't overwork yourself and take all the time you need.

From a filmmaker, you’re an inspiration Kyle. Don’t sweat the small things. As my old professor used to say “Don’t dare make a boring successful video. Make a spectacular failure.” Small notes if you’re looking; 1) I’d smash cut in tighter as the first peek comes out (for impact) at 0:28 2) Maybe vary up the black background in the first 20 seconds to keep it fresh. Everything else is an everlasting gobstopper. xxx

Bless yah, Kyle! I 100% empathise with the perfectionism, but be assured that we aren't going to notice the tiny things that are driving you mad. Your art style is lovely and the characters already look really interesting. Well done to everyone who worked on the song as well. FantomenK + Ian + Surprise Brandon = Dream Team.

hey youre right. didnt noticed jones was in the singing intro. i only hear ian more. lol

Anonymous

I'm insanely hyped. Who's singing? This could shape up to be a true legend content. I'm sorry I couldn't say some kind of constructive criticism slash feedback, but I just smiled like an idiot throughout the whole promo. This is EZA at it's very best. L&R.

Kyle, if Box Peek is anywhere close to the promo that I just witnessed, you have nothing to worry about. But, if you feel that it needs to be improved upon in any way, then by all means, let it cook. Creator's Intent.

Kyle this is amazing! Take your time, it's going to be worth it.

I think the vocals of the song could sound more clear. The balance between music and vocals also needs little adjustment.

That promo was waaay better than what I had envisioned this little project of yours to be, Kyle. Stay positive, take some rest, and celebrate the little milestones and successes - and we'll eventually get there. Looking forward the final result!

You know sometimes you make assumptions that you didn’t even realize you were making? For some reason I assumed all the characters would be raw cardboard. Like the entire thing would be this sepia toned world because of it. To the extent that the color of this shocked me. Not that it is bad. Or that there was any reason I assumed you’d use raw cardboard. I have no idea why I thought that, but that’s the image I’ve had in my head for months. Now I’m laughing at myself. :). This looks like a lot of fun though

Good job Kyle, I have a minor critique, feel free to ignore me, I think the design on the ref (I assume) counting down, could be better, I was not sure what it was and maybe the 12 is explained later on or these are like the ref's from Zoids and they drop them down from a satellite or something, I just found it hard to get my head around what I was looking at. That's about it, I love the editing, I am sure the final result will be great. Keep it up!

Seriously great stuff. I watched it five times and was so happy to see this idea come to life. I know first hand how struggling it can be to create something good with the tools we have, it’s so much harder then anyone can understand if they haven’t tried it themselves. (Have shot 5 feature films by now) all the best, LOVE AND RESPECT // Sonny

Kyle: Let me join the chorus and say this is terrific stuff, my boy. Keep it up. Stop streaming altogether if you have to. I don't care. I want this show in my life now that The Good Place is over for the season. Please: let Box Peek become my new favorite thing. If it's anything like this, it will be.

This is a surprising and refreshing idea, Kyle. Don't doubt yourself. It's a great intro. Stay determined and work at a comfortable pace. That will elevate the quality of this project even more so. An artist (and producer in your case) can be his or her own worst critic. You've got this, man.

I'm really blown away with the quality of the art, the "animations", and the editing. Very excited for spring! My only concern would be that the vocals in the theme song are mixed a little low (or just sound a little muddled?), so it's hard to make out some of the lyrics.

neet-oh

Coming from someone who has been anticipating this series very much, don’t kill yourself to meet any crazy deadline Kyle. It’s going to be great so take your time dude.

Holy moly that production quality. The lighting (I wonder how long it took to set the lighting until you got this "Box" cut :)), the song, the editing, the VO. I assumed that Box Cut is going to be fun but this is wonderful! Looking forward to it whenever you are ready to show more.

This looks absolutely fantastic! I'm pretty sure any dumb or weird things will still come off as endearing since it has a good "cheesiness" to it.

Wow! Had very little idea what to expect from Box Peek, but I'm hard-in on it now! Impressive.

EasyAllies

We're still under! The camera and lenses weren't in the budget since I made them a personal expense (woof) and the rest of the supplies haven't been too bad.

Anonymous

Maybe make the wire a little less visible? Thinner or a lighter colour? I get the point of leaving it in, but my eye is TOO drawn to it right now. Also, the backgrounds are pretty sparse. I was expecting more in the way of cut-out sets. Otherwise, it looks promising. The soundtrack and storyline look to be key, so be sure that you're satisfied on those fronts. Principal photography can get away with being a little less polished, perhaps a LOT less. ^_^

Some good advice I've received in the past when it comes to projects; don't sweat about differences between your imagination and the finished product because nobody knows what was in your head but you. You see things that didn't come out right, I see a fantastic tease for a show I can't wait to watch. Btw, the voice acting is adorbs.

My guess is that the bracelet they are wearing can create the box they hide in. So if someone challenges someone on the street they can just create the box instead of having to find them.
