THE G:KND experiment (part 8)

Madness.

That's the best way to describe what was going on.

The leaked Galactic: Kids Next Door video 

was racking up views on youtube 

(reaching over 350k!!!)

and getting linked to from tons of 

websites, forums and message boards.

Even a Kanye West message board.

(I mean... the connection is obvious, right?)

All of social media
was ablaze
with KND operatives
awakening from decommissioning:

Questions machine gunned in every direction:

Was it a fan video?

Were those the original voice actors?

Was it guerrilla marketing by Cartoon Network?

Was Mr. Warburton involved?

Is this an official announcement of a new series?

When is it starting?

Can I get fries with that?

Some

creative

souls even

took it upon themselves to

post straight up nonsense

about being artists already 

working on the new KND series at Cartoon Network.

Or starting Tumblrs 

spreading false information.

Or that they heard directly from 

Mr. Warburton that the show was

happening.

None of which was true.

(Tsk Tsk)

But the positive response was overwhelming.

There were

THOUSANDS

of comments/notes/videos/messages/and posts

screaming

begging

crying

fist-pumping

dancing

and

jumping up and down on the bed

over a possible 

KND reboot.

Me?

I was still keeping my mouth 

shut about who made the trailer.

And now I had to figure out what to do

without a video to show at the end of our

mysterious alien countdown!

Everyone was expecting a 

HUGE 

announcement!

So after talking it over with Numbuh D20,

we decided to do another animatic

to kind of sort of explain what happened.

BUT THE CLOCK WAS TICKING!

We had less than 10 days!

So I wrote a script on the Friday after the leak.

As usual,

Guy Moore strapped on his

 helmet and waded right in,

storyboard guns

BLAZING:

Meanwhile,

I got on the horn to 

Lauren Tom

(aka Number Three)

Dee Bradley Baker

(aka Numbuh Four)

Dave Wittenberg

(aka Numbuh 74.239)

And

Grey DeLisle Griffin

(aka Numbuh Vine)

and

**SPOILER ALERT**

Lizzie!

We recorded on a Sunday

by the grace of David Guerrero at LA Studios:

And still the hours ticked away!

Once Guy was done with his storyboard panels,

he dumped them over to sooper editor

Dave Courter,

who had to also serve as sound 

effects and music editing guy.

And just one day before the countdown was gonna end...

we got it done.

Holy crap

that was close.

Then

April 1st

came.

But more on that later.
