Barnaby’s First Adventure
Behind the Scenes
Project Status: Post-Production
Version 2.0 for Scenes 1 & 2 are Coming Live Soon!
The Story of Barnaby’s First Adventure
Barnaby is a curious teddy bear brought to life at All Stuffed Up, a sustainable small-town toy store in Port Angeles, WA. Created by a stressed college student, Barnaby awakens to help her find the perfect story, leading him on a journey to discover the importance of pollution and recycling.
Latest Preview: Version 2.0
We’ve made significant progress since our first look! This updated cut features:
- ✨ Seamless Transitions: Smoothing out the journey from the toy store to the streets of Port Angeles.
- 🔊 Layered Audio: Fine-tuning the dialogue and adding environmental “foley” sounds to bring the scene to life.
- 🎨 Color Balance: Finalizing the warm, inviting look of All Stuffed Up.
Note: We are still layering in the final musical score, but we couldn’t wait to show you how much the atmosphere has evolved!
