Making Props for The Game's Trailer

 

I would like to make a little trailer for our game - and I thought it would be fun to have some little live action clips with actual paper cutouts of the mini paper cutout-style sprites. This video here isn't the trailer, but visualisation of the kind of stuff I wanna include in it.

 

First, I took the lineart and printed them out (with inverted copies for the back) like this:

The big one is for something else later, you'll see once the trailer is made/ if I make the trailer.

 You may also notice a new sprite with another giant hand, whihc wa also in the video right at the start. I forgot to fix the wrist on the back/ on the inverted side, but hopefully that adds to the charm and chaos of these things.

 

I then glued the sprites down onto some sketchbook paper to add a bit of support, all I had on hand was hot glue and I didn't want the thin printer paper to be danaged/ distorted too much:

 the hand one had tape on it because I stuck them together to keep them aligned with eachother, for the rest of them I kinda eyeballed it.

 After that, I cut them out and hot glued them onto some toothpicks/ cocktail sticks (they were also all I had on hand), here's the results:

 

I'd also printed out a copy of the big one because I thought a clip of them being printed might've been funny, but my phone ran out of storage mid recording, and I had to cancel the print halway through. This is the result:

 

 There's no purpose for this little guy, but I wanted to include this anyways because I think it's funny. I'll keep the paper as scrap paper for doodles, paint brush wiping or pattern making, etc.
