Breakdowns are made on request. A frame is delivered flat unless you ask for it to be split into background and foreground, because most frames do not need it and splitting one takes real time. Tick the ones you want and press the button at the bottom. Marko gets an email and does them.

Character sheets

Coach Brain's consolev1superseded

Superseded 31.8.2026. Shows the riveted iron console. The desk is now grown stone, see 11-0-A-v3, and this sheet would send an animator the wrong way.

Coach Brain's chairv1superseded

Superseded 31.8.2026. Shows the wooden panelled chair. The chair is now a smooth shell on a single stem.

The control room wallv2reference

Four studies of the clay wall: flat, an outside corner, the top edge where it meets the plain ceiling and the grooves stop, and the grooves drawn large. THE CORNER AND THE CEILING PANELS ARE THE POINT. Without them anyone drawing a new angle has to guess whether the grooves wrap or stop, and guessing that is exactly how the first control room came back as a cave. Smoothed grey clay, no straight edges, grooves barely raised with long calm stretches between them.

The control room wall, first attemptv1superseded

Rejected. It redrew the whole room with four panels laid over it: floor, chair, door and desk base all still there. The room was the only reference, so the room is what came back. A study sheet needs a study sheet as its first reference.

Coach Brainv2superseded

Superseded by v4. Carried a generic modern key, not the real object on the live set.

shot 6.31 key frameproposal

THE CONTROL ROOM, the end of the corridor and the deepest room in the body. A plain rectangular room, flat ceiling, square corners, worn flagstones, and the corridor door standing open on the right with the light still coming through it. THE WALLS ARE SMOOTHED GREY CLAY with shallow winding grooves pressed into them, low and quiet, with long calm stretches between: brainish, not a brain. v1 tried full relief on walls and ceiling and came back a cave. The chair is empty on purpose, this is the room before Coach Brain turns around. GANESHA IS NOT IN THIS FRAME. He is a hand's height in a room sized shot and three attempts failed to hold him, so he lives on the object sheet instead and gets composited.
