in the 14 years how it should have been it has been making animated shorts it
should come as no surprise that the Marvel Cinematic Universe titles tend to
be the most popular on our channel. Marvel has a massive fan base and there are
loads of movie titles to work with so with the successive endgame and with how
much we love to movie ourselves we knew Endgame was gonna be one of those
important episodes where it's like... hey don't screw this up for real don't do
anything too out there. Don't surprise them with a musical episode! No matter
how awesome it is! I don't care what you say! Don't screw it up. There's gonna be a
lot of eyeballs on it so
No pressure! right?
Where do we start? we started
working on the how it should've ended for endgame probably the moment we got
out of the theater. Ideas were being tossed around and since it was all we
talked about for like a week. There were a lot of ideas. P robably too many ideas
but sometimes movies just too fun.
but we did have to make the episode manageable
so we made a list and kicked out all the jokes that we didn't think would stick
for long and from there we chopped the list into two videos because the short
was just still too grand.
some of the ideas that were lost to the cutting room floor
was a men and black idea
there was a scene with ant-man crying over all the
celebrities who died in the snap
we debated whether or not to go the full
Thanus route... the list was a lot and the time we were trying to make this the art
required may have sent me into a few panic attacks
[screaming internally]
we had some time to build the episode
we had just released Captain Marvel at the time and we had Shazam and
Aladdin episodes already in the works so we set our schedule we had our favorite
scenes so we just went for it now draw draw like the wind
next with sound design
we've kept a lot of the same voice actors for our
superhero characters over the years and that's because when this channel started
the voice actors were just me and my closest friends so it's actually meant a
lot to me to be able to keep it that way all the way to endgame there's Stephanie
who's been my friend since middle school she's been the voice of so many
characters. I have been Wonder Woman I've been Hermione Granger I've been Sarah Connor
I've been Jack Skellington. Who haven't I been? I've been everybody
Stephanie is married to my closest friend Mark who you know as Starlord
Dance-off bro me and you
Who's Natasha?
Tina who's been writing and producing how it should've ended with
me since the beginning plays Black Widow and Captain Marvel
honey I just blew up his entire ship all by myself
Captain America is played by Chris, our editor.
Who I worked with at a previous job. As well as Sam who plays Dr. Strange
I'll never tell
and John who plays Rocket and the Joker
the voice of Iron Man is played by my college roommate Stephen who has no interest in acting but is such
a great friend that he always gives it his all in our booth every time we need a Tony Stark
get him get him guys kick him while he's down let's go!
other characters in this video we're done through collaborations with other voice
actors there's Emily who plays our Nebula. He knows! Thanos Knows!
Shuri. you have a time machine!
Okoye. She's got help.
And the epic voice of Jon Bailey who has played Black Panther and Ant-Man
I was gonna shrink down
then go inside his butt and explode
and the rest of the voices are by me
Oh my gosh Thanos the other nebula has escaped!
and then the voices for our
Spanish version are put together by Luis and his friends over in Mexico Peru and
even Spain
Once we have the voices and rough sound effects in place it's
time to get back to the artwork
this is Shelbye
she helps with the character art
and the backgrounds were painted by Steve Hidook and Otis Frampton
the artwork and endgame may not feel like our largest episode ever but we actually
had to create far more characters than we ever have for this episode.
An average HISHE episode has about 15 to 20 shots depending on the variety of characters
and set locations. The Endgame short had 80 shots and many of those shots had
multiple characters in frame so this episode definitely put us to work
once the giant pile of artwork is finished it's handed over to Chris and
Nicholas to put all together and after effects.
hmm look at that exciting After Effects footage.
He's making that guy move.
what the?!
once the characters are all rigged for their scenes the video slowly starts to come to life
some shots are kind of easy to finish
or
those are nothing but other shots take more time to develop
like the Avengers Assemble shot
and the Thanos funeral sequence
we spent around two to three weeks animating and
finishing the sound design for this project
where we normally try to pull off the animation phase in one week
this one just had way more things to manage
the rat, the money piles, the tons and tons people.
Once the animation is complete and
the lip-sync is done. and the music and sound effects have all finalized. it's a safe
bet that the majority of your followers are really starting to think that you
are dead or just never gonna make the episode they've been waiting for you to finish
so get that thing online
then you make a thumbnail upload the video and
pray everybody likes your jokes
no one's ever really gone
Crap!
and that's how the Endgame HISHE was made in a nutshell
Wow now it's time to start the process all over again!
