144s that um marketing is expensive so you
147s know we're we uh we're just Here for a
150s Good Time not and we and we he animation
152s takes a while to do a minute a solid
156s minute we we had a 99 second thing
158s though at the end which was our goal yes
160s we we got it up to 99 seconds Warframe
162s 1999 99 seconds and you know it was it
165s all started with you know a dream you
168s know a hope and a dream and a hope and a
171s dream and we have some cool things to
173s show today from it actually these were
176s brought all the way from oh yes oo oh I
180s don't know if you might hold it up see
182s if I can bring it close here's some
183s original art first sketches of the
186s characters from artist character
189s designer extraordinaire masham Moran um
192s who worked with us to design the 2D look
195s of the characters in plexiglass that was
197s severely beat up in the flight from
199s London it got it ple London England not
202s Ontario not Ontario um but
205s the drawing itself is pristine and
209s that's all we need and that's all we
210s need and that's not that's not a print
212s that's pencil on paper she sent it to me
215s which is one of a kind some of the
217s original warframes were were done pencil
220s paper this is this is the Legacy and the
222s tradition stays alive that's going to be
224s making its appearance in the devstream
226s room for the future so people are very
227s excited once it gets a slightly nicer
229s frame that isn't fully crap de with it I
232s hated the frame to begin with I'm glad
234s it's broken yeah I hate
236s plexiglass boo oh people wanted it to be
240s 19 minute stream but we did that last
242s week so but um the finished piece you
245s know we were working on what it could be
248s what we wanted to do with this short did
250s we want to have a voice in it or not and
252s then by the very end of a silent piece
255s you showed up I did I didn't even know
257s what we were doing at the time um we
260s were we were in the middle here you go
261s here he is sweat on his face yeah oh we
263s have to talk the sweat too yeah you want
265s to talk about the sweat first so often I
268s have my experience of Animation is that
270s I try to make everyone sweaty and then
271s people try to sneakily delete the sweat
274s drops if When I'm Not Looking this time
277s we were aligned yeah we're perfectly
279s aligned it's going to get sweaty we have
282s sweat dripping that's what makes them
283s human Proto frames they still have their
286s GL glands so that is important they're
288s stinky they're stinky and that's
290s beautiful that's why he says clean up
292s clean but when we when we when we
294s recording um 99 we've been doing it for
296s a while yeah I remember doing a session
298s where they were like we just need you to
299s say this line it might go in it might
301s not yeah um and they showed me the piece
304s and it was obviously his ass
306s shot it was his action it was action
310s shot it was it was always about the ass
312s because even even in the original
314s briefing I saw the the what do you call
317s it like your little like the real the
320s teaser real yes and I was just like
322s there's something very intentional about
324s this ass yeah like this is not this is
327s not just a little qu querer Design This
329s is intentional for all characters
332s Warframe and that is an important part
333s of the direction was imagine as if this
336s line is coming from his ass no that's
338s not true no that's not true I I'm sorry
342s put the bag back on bag on I feel like
344s the direction if I had if I had I wasn't
346s in the voice room but I feel like the
348s direction from me would have been
350s imagine he's clenching this whole time
352s let us and he's finally released I would
355s um what was about that is the I will be
358s serious for a second about the craft of
360s acting for one second um no we did that
364s we did that a lot we did that line quite
366s a few times because I think they really
367s wanted to get the sense of like the the
370s repetitious nature of the task that they
371s keep doing and the kind of the relief
373s but the resignation to them doing it
375s again and again and again and so we ran
377s it quite a few times to give you guys
379s hopefully as many options as you
380s possibly could have we had a big batch
383s um yeah see there's a lot I imagine you
384s probably thought that line was terrible
387s by the end you hear it so many times how
389s many times did we hear it
390s it just it was perfect I yeah we we
392s heard it at least once a day and
394s speaking of hearing it the music yes so
398s when when making an animated short how
401s does one pick a soundtrack and how did
403s we come to get what we got for ours so
406s quite often what happens which isn't
408s isn't my ideal way of working would be
410s that sometimes like it takes a long time
413s for the actual track to become finalized
415s and you kind of put it in at the end
418s whereas this one is instead of we were
420s kind of playing playing around in terms
423s of like well what do we want to do with
424s the music and stuff but I've heard this
426s song you guys sent us the song yes so we
430s sent a song that Matt schmer Eric
432s Preston and the team had been working on
434s called numb which you'll hear more about
436s soon uh and num was like our grunge
440s really kind of like
442s empty kind of kind kind of yeah just it
445s had a texture to it that we really like
447s so we thought hey Vena maybe you like
449s this song yeah and I I I think the
451s minute that I heard it I was like
454s honestly this is giving me a lot of
455s visuals already and it just kind of felt
457s like actually let's just use this one
460s which yeah honestly for Budget reason
462s also wonderful yeah like we yeah we got
464s to use an amazing track of our own and
466s we we had it so early in the process
468s that all of the timings that you see
470s throughout the piece like even like the
472s cut of uh lety staring at Elanor like
476s like it's cut to the yeah the track and
479s that is is going to be um one of the
481s many songs that are coming in 1999 and I
483s know people are very very very
485s interested oh yeah i' I've seen people
486s begging for the music you'll get it
488s you'll get it we are going to drop an
490s album so so don't don't worry about it I
492s have it yeah we I listen to it yeah we
494s have the music coming and for that
496s reason it should be you know just a part
498s of 99 which is um we're kind of in the
501s December month it's launching soon but
504s we're here all in La for you know the la
507s like a really big push to OTE the update
510s so we're doing our best to let people
512s know about what's coming everyone's
514s worked really hard on it so can you play
517s it we put a lot of work into it could
519s you please watch the animated short oh
521s yeah please do that as well watch the
523s animated short and tell us oh actually
525s the community did a survey because we're
527s adding a romance system in this update
529s of who I have bad news for
532s Ben I was expecting it to be honest I I
536s I know I know she's my sister that I
539s would absolutely Ely okay just not my
542s sister obviously but like I I'm I'm I'm
544s an Elanor fan Elanor was oh he had the
546s tongue I'm the tongue did sway a lot of
549s people I find did it did so there it was
552s why is she kind of why is she kind of
554s freaky like that wait yeah so Eleanor
557s will be um all of them are an option for
559s you as a player uh when you show up to
562s learn more about these characters get to
563s know them play their missions and figure
565s out what's going on and there is an
567s optional romance system that as of today
569s the team back in London Ontario Canada
571s and around the world they added
572s something um just visual to the computer
576s that I thought would be super fun so I I
578s love that system that was one of the
580s most joyful things because obviously
581s when you're doing when you're performing
583s these characters you want to give
585s they're badasses you know one of the
587s missions it's always it's it's that like
589s how can we make these characters as cool
590s as possible in combat and then there's
592s that ju toos when they're back at the
594s you know the home base of like the
596s softening of those characters of Journey
599s and some of you may never experience it
600s you know some of you may always
601s experience are you telling people
603s they're not going to experience love did
604s you not with me you just said no one's
606s interested in Romancing me so it's fine
608s it's fine no one wants him all you're
611s going to do is get mean Arthur um you'll
614s never know his tender side you don't
616s deserve
618s it he he has his walls up yeah he does
621s have his wall so does so does the actor
623s when they when they come crumbling down
624s it is warm inside y this is going to get
626s drama really fast cuz Rue's wife is in
629s chat and just said she's going to
630s romance
631s Arthur correct um I will she L an
634s underdog I will give I will give 100,000
638s Platinum to anyone romance his other and
641s that's a guarantee isn't that right high
644s five the bag get the bag back on bag
648s on but but as we were making them I
651s think early on we knew they were all
652s romanceable or you know at least
654s friendable is that the word befriend yes
658s bef friendable so they all have a very
660s different outlook on their mission in
662s the short and in the game ahead so you
665s had to make us you had to make us love
667s them in in the time we had mhm yeah I
669s think like the I think the original
671s working title that I had for the for the
673s short was intermission which is kind of
676s a pun that it's like between missions
678s and it's kind of like when you go home
679s and you don't you don't have like that's
682s where you're just preparing for the next
683s one and you're constantly in the mo like
686s in the zone and it's in that boredom
689s between M missions that you sort of
691s start really fraying at the edges the
695s one thing you really nailed in that
696s short is like we were just saying
698s beforehand is in pretty much what
700s seconds you have defined their
701s personality really clearly I feel like
703s the characters just come out just in
705s their faces I like you you know them
708s immediately and you get that impression
710s obviously there's more to discover as
711s you play the game but it's like this is
713s a taste of what the story will be if you
715s choose to learn more about that
716s character yeah we really wanted to like
717s set the scene and establish some
719s something that you can go into the game
722s and you already know a little bit of
724s something of the reality that they're
726s living in and you know a little bit
727s about them and you kind of recognize
729s that there's tension and then you can go
731s in and kind of be like wait what's going
732s on guys like I watch I need to doctor
734s fill the situation right now so when you
736s when when you were do when you were
737s doing the short and you storyboarded it
739s did you have a clear idea of what the
740s story was going to be or what was the so
743s yes so I scripted it and I got one of
745s one of our other directors um Lou cares
749s storyboarded and I think we knew
752s essentially from the script we knew what
754s we were going to do yes in the short but
757s I think it really like visually comes
759s down to like the cuts and the way that
761s like we're looking at each other but we
763s had a pretty clear visual already in the
766s script it's like we cut from here to
768s here and here it's going to be a
769s close-up of face and we're going to just
770s be staring I think like the story want
774s wanted to be quite like contained into
778s that moment it's like
780s pregame MH um and it's it's Cannon but
784s it needs to also like be contained in
786s its own little CU there is like this
789s like I think maybe we spoke about this
791s there's a hopelessness to the hex
793s journey and it isn't until your player
796s is going to come into the story that's
797s able to affect change and make it so
800s that like there's a there's a nihilism
802s essentially to 1999 totally totally and
806s yeah and it comes through so well in the
807s style choices and everything that the
809s team at we wanted to get angst angst is
812s I love angst we are an angsty bunch and
814s it shows so yeah we are yeah I'm I'm a
818s big Evangelion fan and I just felt yeah
821s this this is what we're going to do
823s we're going to have human instrument
825s instrumentalization we are three minutes
827s oh oh yeah we only three minutes should
828s we do uh Q&A from chat um so so far we
831s have for the agenda we've gotten through
832s our um we talked about the music we
834s talked about um oh yeah there's stuff
837s happening in game right now log in for
838s some free skins but that's not you know
840s that's and if you romance off you get
842s 100,000 not true people are very excited
845s that you mentioned evangelon people want
846s us to have a good day is angs the name
