Glitch Hunters - Opening Pilot Segment: Booker's Rally Previsualization

This is the previsualization for the opening segment of the in-working progress Glitch Hunters pilot. Originally this was unlisted and used just to show close friends progress, and it was made a while ago, so if the animation seems limited, it is, as this is the very beginning stages of this scene.

Part Ghostbusters. Part The Boys. Finally a huge part a satire of the real life history of Pro Wrestling, Sports and Politics beyond their individual kayfabe.

Glitch Hunters is a show that takes place in a world where people know their reality is breaking because of events called Glitch Rifts cause issues in society. 404 Error messages in the Sky, randomly generated and spawned monsters and kaiju, mutating citizens into powered beings, or people clipping into their kitchen floor. In this reality all world borders have broken down and merged into the ONE World Government, now run by over the top and corrupt President Booker. President Booker however seems to only care about money and the ratings he can scrounge up for his Pro-Wrestling style death match promotion, The UWF, hosted on government media. However when Strange Weird (a super intelligent but mentally struggling glitch scientist) and Scene (A gal whose style is her name and has the power to be literally as strong as she thinks or feels she is at any moment) want to start a public service division to help handle the glitches disturbing the lives of everyday people; Scene won the world championship and is now using it as leverage for funding against the president. However after Strange meets and falls in love with Cakes (a sentient demon girl and class 5 glitch creature who can hide herself in human form), their goals and the Presidents will start to clash more and more. What will happen when the blue collar, babyface, Glitch Hunters start to stand up to the carny, control freak, money mark of an out of touch and down right disgustingly evil heel president that hides behind playing a bad guy on TV? Maybe nothing but pain, you'll have to wait and see!

I hope to have the full pilot out by sometime in late 2026 or 2027, as of writing, I am the only animator on this show, and considering I am a disabled individual, and cannot afford a team on my monthly income, that is not likely to change. I plan the pilot/show to be a mix of 2D and 3D when it's done. Currently all voice work is being generously provided by real life friends of mine, and I appreciate more than anything for donating their time and performances to help me try and get this going. The hope is once the pilot is out I can use it to pitch the show around to networks like (Adult Swim or Comedy Central), OR, crowdfund the money I would need to be able to properly pay all my friends to continue voicing the characters going forward, hire others talent artists to help with animation, stabilize my living enough to where I won't need to depend on Government Disability, help me speed up production, and anything else related to creating more of this passion project I have been developing since I was in highschool.

Thank you for watching, as I really appreciate any signs of support no matter how small, especially early on, and I hope you look forward to more from the simulated world of "Glitch Hunters".
