-'''''The Disappearing Act'''''  is an upcoming NSFW 18+ animated short film featuring [[NeonWabbit]] characters [[Sunny]] and [[Voltereier]]. Voice work was commissioned by [[Studio RGB-Newt]]'s [[Team Lewd the Newt]], and it was directed, written, drawn, animated, edited, composited, sound designed, score composed, and produced by NeonWabbit, who also did the cinematography and special effects work to integrate the hand-drawn 2D animation into the 3D Unreal Engine-powered environments (sourced from artists on the UE Marketplace, which is now known as Fab).
-It is tentatively set to star [[Nami955]] as [[Sunny]] (and [[Janice]], a squirrel janitor), plus [[Shay-Ki|Shay-Ki AD]] as [[Voltereier]].
-The project's [[Production Code matrix|production code]] is '''NW-M24LTN01''', and its working title is '''Project Kitty Bnuuy'''{{sic}}.
-== Plot ==
-== Cast ==
-* [[Nami955]] as [[Sunny]], [[Janice]] the Janitor
-* [[Shay-Ki|Shay-Ki AD]] as [[Voltereier]]
-Additionally, [[Watcha]] appears as an audience member who is not voiced.
-== Production ==
-=== Early development ===
-Plans to ship the characters of [[Voltereier]] and [[Sunny]] together were only put into motion after Voltereier was written as a stage magician, immediately after the acquisition of the character from their previous owner. They needed a "bunny" assistant of a similar physical build and size, to "pull out their hat", and Sunny was the only current character in [[NeonWabbit]]'s roster which ticked all the boxes.
-=== Casting ===
-[[Nami955]] and [[Shay-Ki|Shay-Ki AD]], who [[Toxis]] originally cast as [[Aurora Australis]] and [[Gerald Symons]] on his commissioned ''[[The Aussie Goldmine]]''-related NSFW 18+ animation, ''[[Refill]]'', were picked for this project due to their great previous work on the aforementioned short, and because [[NeonWabbit]] promised to commission them at some point during August 2024.
-=== Writing ===
-Because of the promise NeonWabbit made to commission Nami955 and Shay-Ki by the end of August 2024, the script was written very last minute within that month and completed within a single night, being delivered on the first day of September.
-Due to the rush job, the final draft of the screenplay contains a few mistakes, such as erroneously having a line where it says that Voltereier interacts with Zaps, instead of with Sunny, as it should. Zaps is Voltereier's nickname.
-=== Voice recording ===
-Nami955 recorded all her lines within a day of receiving the screenplay, delivering them on September 2, 2024. Shay-Ki's lines were delivered on September 15, and after some "dead air" (a.k.a. places in the audio where no characters are making any noise) was detected after editing the voices together, a second session of additional lines from Nami955 was completed in two days, and delivered on September 19.
-=== Planning ===
-Each sentence of the screenplay was given its own shot, totalling 82 shots in total, including the credits.
-A character turnaround of Sunny in a newly-designed anthro form was produced, as well as a size comparison graphic with Voltereier in a t-pose, as Sunny's original feral design was thought not to be a good match for this specific production.
-Thumbnail sketches for each shot were drawn on a tiny canvas with a mouse and a pixel art brush, and these formed the basis of the more detailed storyboard frames.
-=== Sound design and music ===
-Upon receival of the recorded voice lines from each VA, the best takes were chosen and timed with their respective shots in the timeline of the DaVinci Resolve Studio project.
-=== Animation and layout ===
-=== Editing ===
-== Release ==
-== Reception ==
-=== Audience viewership ===
-=== Critical response ===
-== Legacy ==
-=== Soundtrack ===
-{{Main|The Disappearing OST}}
-Five original score tracks from the short film, excluding the snippet of "[[Put Down Your Pickaxe]]" that Janice listens to on her headphones, are to appear on the soundtrack album ''[[The Disappearing OST|The Disappearing OST: Music and Score from The Disappearing Act]]'', by [[Neon and the Argie Bees]].
-=== Documentary ===
-{{Main|Behind the Plapping}}
-An episode of the mini-documentary video series ''[[Behind the Plapping]]'' is to be dedicated to the behind the scenes of ''The Disappearing Act'', specifically featuring details on the background of [[Team Lewd the Newt]], a step-by-step process showing how the short film was made (including the composition of its soundtrack), and a look at upcoming NSFW 18+ projects such as ''[[The Aussie Goldmine: Explicit Edition]]'', ''[[Flye 'n' Frie's Firsts]]'', and a musical called ''[[The Town of Surryfex]]''.
