![]() Dan is a huge fan of The Last Unicorn, so we definitely brought elements of that into it. They had the costumes and they had the live action stuff. Initially, we were going to be animating less than we ended up doing. ![]() I do remember a discussion about how much was actually going to be animated. Patrick: It’s been a while since we last looked at the brief. What did the creative brief from NSP look like? It’s Mike heading up the compositing, so the final look of all the frames is often straight from Mike. Mike finishes almost every project that we work on together. India: A lot of the background concept art and the final execution was handled by Mike. I wear a few hats when it comes to Knights projects. But my main interest and passion is in colour. So I hopped between that and backgrounds, painting, leading the team on that, and the post-production and compositing. Michael: On Mystic Crystal, I was the colour designer. And I think every one of the gigs is stronger for it. Patrick: I would say that, no matter what the Knights gig is, myself, Michael, and India kind of act as a brain trust. We often end up back-and-forthing on different projects about which way to approach various things. He’s got such a great sense for design and story. Pat also steps in sometimes to help us creatively. India: Yeah, he did some effects for the intro of Markiplier’s character, the necromancer, as well as generally acting as a producer and handling the client relations side. ![]() And every now and then I might hop in, do an effect here or there. I sort of take a lot of the administrative things. I was mostly doing what I usually do when India is directing a project for Knights : I handle client relations, I make sure everybody has licenses, I do scheduling. Patrick: I would say that India was a big force in terms of the creative direction of Mystic Crystal. But mostly it was managing the team, making sure they had what they needed, checking over the files coming in, and just trying to keep things moving in the right direction. ![]() I took on a lot of the creative side as well in terms of doing some rough animation. How would you describe your role in The Mystic Crystal and what did a typical day in production look like for you?
