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).
Fuck this is GOLD the whole dancing sequence of the skeletons of dead boys detectives I didn't know this existed
Btw I saw it on twitter where it also explains the details from the opening credits https://x.com/Bowtiedino/status/1796971544545038682?t=GtscLrWq6-_J-xlINf6vrA&s=19
Cracking up at this bts pic from Jayden's insta. If you look close, I think that's a stuffed animal cat for the actors to look at that will be cgi-ed in later.
Can you imagine George acting seriously, staring at a cat stuffie and interrogating it about the witch's house?
This is the loveliest video I've seen , it shows just how many incredibly talented people had been involved in the production of this show, and the bond they all have after years of working together, I love it!
