Happy Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day!

“By the nineteenth century, a number of these elements [e.g. funeral invitations, mourning wear, the coffin and its equipments, the funeral meal] came under the purview of the undertaker. The word ‘undertaker’ itself, to mean a person whose profession it is to arrange funeral, first began to be used in this way only at the very end of the seventeenth century — before that an undertaker was simply someone who undertook something, often a contracted-out job like tax-collecting. As time progressed, undertaking as a trade subsumed the previously disparate independent tradesmen and women who had supplied the items required by funerals — coffin-makers, metal-workers, dressmakers, milliners, livery-stable hands, upholsterers and more — subcontracting from them to present the family of the dead with a single tradesman, himself.”

I went on Canva and made this because I wanted easy and quick references for sampling.

Anyways most of these aren’t even necessary especially the outline colors I just thought it’d be nice to have them in case I want to do it that way but I don’t think I will most of the time.

Minimalist Palette: orange fur primary, white fur primary, eye primary, pupil color, nose primary.

I like this full reference because I can mix and match these however I want and even use different tones and stuff since this is just the base colors and sometimes lighting is different and stuff like if it’s sunny his fur might be brighter or darker if it’s cloudy out.

I really do love that industrial trolley.

It seems absurd, but I KNOW there are things in factories and Amazon warehouses that put this to SHAME.

Not much of a lobby or foyer. Just a straight route to the elevator.

So this is a nice, wide path. Pretty long, too.

and…hm. That DOES disrupt my hypothesis about the jungle biome being The Huge Square and the compound being the circle.

I suspected that might happen. But. That’s why I do this.

Studies on the Mantah Corp Facility: Part 4

I’m not really as concerned with the Jungle Biome as the others, mostly because it’s pretty straightforward, and also, presumably, bigger.

I assume the Jungle Biome is the giant square in the middle of the facility, and the circle we see is just the central building. This makes it large enough for our heroes to hide after rescuing Mae. But…we’ll study it more in the upcoming episodes.

Of note:

The Eaties moved away from the feeding creek after the battle, and Mae put in a request for a medical BRAD at that time.

Big Eatie takes eight steps before scene cut.

The trio still beats her there.

Big Eatie also takes fourteen steps to arrive at the feeder once her footfalls become audible.

Not sure what the exact calculation is, but at least twenty-two steps (plus a bunch more for them to leave) should give some impression of distance.

Studies of the Mantah Corp Facility: Part 1

First off, we have a lovely matte painting of the exterior.

Running with Kenji’s height of 6'1, the cave appears to be about 15 feet tall at its heighest point. Stacking it, we can get about 8 caves stacked into the mountain, meaning the height of the facility (barring it sinking into a valley) really cannot exceed an exterior height of 30 meters. We clearly see a divot on the other side, though, so it’s probably significantly shorter than that. It could be built into the mountain.

The cave doesn’t appear to have a dramatic slope, and the kids enter onto a high point overlooking the desert biome–meaning the facility is most likely built into the caldera of the island.

They’re also at a significant height, and–this is going to be important–we can see in the second image that biome is barricaded by a moat on the outside (note the sheer rocks leading up into the facility). The

Ben sees a glint in the distance; I calculated it to 500 meters initially, but that’s an absurdly large facility, so I’ve drawn it back to 250 meters. Adjusting for animation freedom and illustration (meaning: this isn’t a literal 1:1 illustration that you can calculate through horizon lines and height), that would put this on the far side of the facility–which makes sense, as the feeding grates would be closer to the interior, while the kids have entered from the exterior. The only reason why they can’t tell that a wall is there is because they don’t know they’re indoors.

NOTE: I’m not a professional artist or surveyor. This is very rudimentary work from me. I’m not sure how tall the cacti actually are, but if every patch of cacti is about five meters long–roughly ¼ the length of a tractor trailer–then even my slapdash patterns (about 1/30 of the estimated dimensions) would be well within the boundaries. The yellow lines are longer than a football field (again, for comparison, if the object is 200 meters away, this would be equivalent to Ben sitting in high seats at a football game and looking at an object on the other side of the football field BEYOND the football field he’s on).

A further shot does give us some perspective: these trees are about four Yazminas tall–22 feet, or 5 meters. Given their perspective, I assume the CampFam entered at least 30 meters above the ground (for perspective, the Eden Project’s Geodesic Domes that inspired this facility peak at 55 meters for domes 100 meters wide), so that’s more than feasible). Additionally, we can assume that this shot of them walking past this tree–which seem to become more sparse further in–means they’ve just crossed that point of the biome.

Now, eventually, the kids get worn down enough for Brooklynn to shed her jacket and for them to be exhausted and worn out in conversation. Which made me question if it’s really a short 250-meter walk–surely they wouldn’t be tired so quickly!

However, we must factor in:

1. The kids are NOT walking on a paved sidewalk. They’re walking on sand and stone.
2. They’re hungry and dehydrated and exhausted, meaning they’re going to tire very, very quickly. Five minutes of walking is going to be agony.
3. This is where we return to the moat: they have no bearings. They’re walking through an artificial desert and…again…they’re dehydrated and exhausted. They climbed out of the moat, meaning they lost sight of their objective. They could have wandered straight south, instead of southeast, and then corrected and started walking too far east, and then walked around a cactus and not found their course again. They’re zig-zagging. What should be a fifty-meter walk in a straight line has turned into a hundred-and-fifty-meter walk around a bramble thicket, over a dune, and into a depression. They are lost.

At this point, they might actually be walking around the perimeter of the facility, and not in a straight line. Thanks to math, we know that means the facility is about 1500+ meters in circumference–meaning if they’re even walking around a quarter of that, they’ve covered 400 meters already. That’s four football fields of desert and sand. Yeah, they’re tired and battered and broken now, and this could easily be a fifteen-minute span depicted in a one-minute segment. Ten minutes, even.

I assume the sandstorm came from a purge in the system–fans blowing everything that gathered on the perimeter back into the center. This first bit could even be projected from the holopanels in order to prepare any test subjects inside for the onslaught and tell them to find cover. Sandstorms can apparently move at 10-12 meters per second, so let’s lowball it (it’s artificial) to 10m/s.

It clears the mountains (artificial!) and enters the facility For Real at 5:00, and catches up with the CampFam between 5:15 (Sammy) and 5:22 (Brookenji)–putting them well within the boundaries for being 150 to 200 meters from the fans.

And from here on out, calculations are pretty much out the window, because now the kids don’t know which direction anything’s in.

There’s a gorge, though. is this the same gorge Spinosaurus will slither through?

Now, my measurements do hit a bit of a snag here, because if Ben is a meter and a half, ish, then with fifteen Bens, this is about a twenty-two meter distance…which would be almost a tenth of the width by my calculations.

Meaning this wall is also about 7 meters high. Within scale.

Ben runs at 12:40 and arrives at the feeder at 12:50. Give him a running speed of 5 meters a second (average), that means he covered 50 meters in that time–1/5 of the proposed diameter, in-sight. Could even halve that because of both cuts for action and adverse terrain (i.e., he covered 25 meters in 10 seconds, or 50 meters in 20 seconds, it’s vague).

Anyway. It’s 3:20 now, so I’m gonna leave it here and call it a night.

I would say the entire “superhero in spandex and cape or other post-Superman tropes” genre is already manga referencing americomi.
