LittleBigJoseph Episode 5
3Episode 5: Family Reunion
This is the fifth episode of my little miniseries made in LittleBigPlanet 3 that retells the story of Joseph from the Bible! Voice acting is credited at last in this episode. This is Episode 5 of 5.
This episode brings us to our dramatic conclusion as a lot of hearts are poured out. What will be revealed and what will those reveals lead to? This last episode will show us how the story ends.
== Behind the Scenes Ramble ==
I don't remember exactly how last minute making this was (or the whole series in general for that matter), I just know it's remarkable the trust that was placed in me to deliver a good drama (which to be fair, I'd delivered on before) without me giving an advance demonstration of the episodes beyond that initial teaser that was sent as a 'proof of concept' type thing more than anything else. I know that I finished the video editing for this the day before it was due, something which had been the standard for the previous two episodes. The episodes were due every morning from Monday to Friday, similar to how I've released them daily here. Episodes 1 and 2 were definitely done in advance but to be fair, I think I foresaw that the most time consuming thing would be the sets and characters. Setting up the shots and animations to film definitely took time and effort, but once I got into the swing of it, I knew my limits. Most of what was left to do was just video editing.
I think the growing pains are definitely visible in this series, but so is everything I learned. This episode feels like the culmination of that; the final exam that displays all the efforts paying off. Most of it is one big scene with a long sequence of camerawork, animation and good timing that came out looking very good. And in all things of this project, having a child-friendly zing to the script while always maintaining accuracy to the source material. It's my favourite episode.
The music used in this episode MAKES this episode and I feel gives it an emotional impact that I really appreciate. To that, I once again credit Paul Thomson of the LittleBigPlanet soundtrack who made the tracks. They are 'Sadness', 'The Future' and 'The Future Part 2'.
To anyone who has followed these rambles and actually read all my blocks of trivia, thanks for indulging me! This project was a personal passion to work on and might be the best thing I've ever done so far. I'm glad to finally share it online for anyone to enjoy and I was eager to vent my experiences with making it in the process. I worked hard on this, so thank you for sticking with it.
