The Thunderbolts Story Trailer (2022)
Added 2024-08-01 01:17:19 +0000 UTCHey Folks!
With my Thunderbolts project finally announced, I feel I can show you some more of the behind the scenes work that went into putting it together, starting with the trailer itself and the original rough cut from way back in October 2022.
This was when most of the series had been mapped out to the five episodes as complete drafts, with plans to extrapolate on aspects of it with slightly more ambitious edits and original art. It was always my plan to introduce the series through a trailer like this, for reasons that may become even clearer after the first episode drops, and I also felt it was a good way to pitch the series to some of my friends and potential collaborators while spurring me on to create more and get this finalised.
Obviously plans got pushed back with my work on other projects in 2023 but writing and eventually casting continued long after the fact, as I ascertained what money I would have and when people would be available. The Frasier video helped send the funding into overdrive and the MCU announcement, which came just a little before this (but not before my initial trailer plans) helped get another rocket under me to make this happen.
Without this I wouldn't have had a launching point to get creating on, so I'm really glad I made this when I did, even if everything happened that much slower than expected. Hopefully you'll be seeing even more of the work involved as we go- this is just the tip of the iceberg!
