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 AD as Voltereier.

The project's production code is NW-M24LTN01, and its working title is Project Kitty Bnuuy [sic].

Plot

Cast

Nami955 as Sunny, Janice the Janitor
Shay-Ki AD as Voltereier

Additionally, Watcha appears as an audience member who is not voiced.

Production

Early development

Casting

Nami955 and 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

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

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: Music and Score from The Disappearing Act, by Neon and the Argie Bees.
