The Dead Boy Detectives opening credits and its details:
The dancing sequences (PREVIZ - MOTION TESTS by Lee Buckley) developed initially and some of the process of animating the skeletons and background:
Here is another video of George and Jayden trying to recreate the dance moves.
Everyone involved in the design of the opening credits:
Important to note: Steve Yockey has said several times that Dead Boy Detectives is like the Hardy Boys on acid. They tried to maintain the very psychedelic and colorful aspect of the comics, whilst also working with darker shades.
The lighting is said to be a mix of blues and purples, but it is also a play on the four main colors of the heroes: Edwin (blue), Charles (red), Crystal (purple) and Niko (pink).
In an interview with IndieWire it was mentioned that they had “every international version of Clue” and I had to take a closer look. Not only is it not exactly “international” versions, (considering that both Charles and Edwin are British, their national one would be Cluedo, so Clue does work as international in that sense), but the board games you see in the background are all vintage and from different decades!
I did not cover all the Clues, although they do have at least 8 of them in that closet. But their assortment of board games is quite interesting!
Do you think Charles had a tamagotchi in the 90s and it annoyed the shit out of Edwin and when it first died they were both traumatised or are you normal
