The Art of Deflection | Harrington Promotional Animation [Scratch Release]

Description

DISCLAIMER: The liquid in Halwell's glass is just 'Lucozade', a British brand of sports drink (think of it like Gatorade). You can see the energy drink bottle besides him in most shots. And the stick in his mouth is just a toothpick. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If this project glitches, lags or crashes your computer, then watch the YOUTUBE version with this link: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/mAbCvVbAGNY I also feel the need to say that Halwell Harrington is NOT a self-insert. He started out as one during the very early days of his creation when I was small, but has since become his own independent character that, whilst borrowing some traits and attributes from me, is not a 1-on-1 representation of my personality. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is a 3-minute animation that promotes "Harrington", a reboot of my Scratch series ("TWOHHS") that has been in the works for a little over six years. A lot of content involving this show is being worked on behind the scenes: writing, revamps, animation progress, etc. But given how long it's been since I really shared any TWOHHS/Harrington content, I deemed it fair that I create and present a video that gives us a bit of an insight into Halwell Harrington himself... For those of you who are confused as to who Fizza is or where this animation fits into the current canon, please be mindful that this is a PROMO animation. Although it's canon to Harrington lore, it takes place many seasons ahead of the season that is currently being worked on. Originally, this was made for my sixth form's FMP (final major project) assignment in creative media (the first unlisted version is shorter and turns into an animatic two-thirds into its runtime), but I soon realised that after submitting said FMP, I could work on an improved version of the animation in my own time; two months later and this is the end product. I hope you enjoy, and are interested to see what's to come from this series. In this animation, Halwell Harrington dispenses some soft spoken words of advice to his eager and stressed protege Fizza, but something about him is... off. There are some minor differences between the Scratch and YT versions of this animation. This Scratch version fixes the inconsistencies with Halwell's table in some of the later shots. You know, 16th September marked the seventh year of my Scratch account's existence. Even though "The Art of Deflection" wasn't made with this in mind, given the time I released it (22nd September in my timezone), I guess you can consider it a late special in that regard. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Credits: - @HehtorOCH as Halwell Harrington - @7Sofa as Fizza C.
