Because this was already such a stupid, juvenile concept for a cartoon, it felt like it was the least we could do in the originals to introduce extra camera and character angles so you weren't watching 4 minutes of 3/4 view inanimate boxes bobbing up and down. To be consistent with the rest of the series, that meant these all new turnarounds for the newer generations of Xbox's for the new Console Wars! Thank fuck Microsoft never really updated their controllers 😫

Do you use 3D ref for stuff like this ? and do you plan on using these for characters turning or for solid poses ?

I eyeballed a 3d turnaround of a basic rectangle first, then sort of "mapped" the features on the faces from the easier views (front, side, rear) onto the trickier 3/4 views using distort transform in flash. For the controllers and kinect I remember I'd just taken a bunch of photos of my xbox and slogged through it that way from reference. Definitely could have drawn more controller angles but that was a griiind haha These should be used for both in the new short! They'll help make big movements like a punch or something more dynamic but they also let you stage action from different camera views

Very insightful, thank you. If i can bother you for an extra second, what are you using to stick your tablet on the arm ? If it's a cintiq 13HD then it shouldn't have any of the holes required to mount it properly
