â ī¸I am not an architect!! This layout was made for personal use as to keep the consistency between rooms in the listenerâs house and is by no means accurate to what actual architectural layouts should/do look like. On that same note: if you noticed inaccuracy between this and shots from EARLY Bittersweet, itâs because we didnât know it would be a whole series and didnât see the need to make a more detailed floor plan at the time. (And things may change in the future)â ī¸
All that to say plz donât come into my inbox telling me certain things are wrong or asking exactly where the insulations are or the wiring or whatever. I may be a construction workerâs daughter but I cannot build house.
Anywho! here is the floor plan I reference when Iâm drawing shots in Booâs place.
It was very exciting seeing this come together!
It is also a nice reminder that SO MUCH of what would become BitterSweet was done on the fly and has retroactively been made to fit, adapting to what we are able to do in a medium that initially was 90% audio, but has implemented significantly more visual elements.
For example, putting the boys around a table in a house 3+ years ago didn't necessarily mean we'd ever be seeing the other side of that kitchen, or the living room, or bedrooms....etc.
That goes for a whole lotta narrative shit too. The entire foundation of Alphonse/Boo's relationship doesn't even occur in BitterSweet and is only handwavy canon because I hand selected those original Alphonse videos and compiled them into what vaguely resembles somewhat of a prologue.
I've been thinking on the whole process of creation, not just with BitterSweet, but Finn is another great example of my work that has evolved overtime to meet my needs. I'm always growing and learning and doing. Which is great. I appreciate those who offer me the grace and understanding to look at what came before and where we're at now and recognize that shit changes. For every "well why did this happen?" there's probably a great reason, or a hilarious reason, or a simple reason.
I wish I had the foresight to know on day one that whatever I was making was going to work. My name wouldn't be YuuriVoice, I'd have started the YouTube channel sooner, I would probably not make certain compromises...all while just being a dude who could hardly be a functional adult, let alone be GOOD at creating anything. For every time I thought I knew what I was doing, there's a dozen more realizations that I didn't know shit. The moment you stop having those realizations, you either need to assess yourself, brace for a cosmic humbling, or tell me all of your secrets immediately. đ
