How I made the pinky shift video

In the Mumbo filming channel video, we take a look at the latest Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft short, how it was filmed and what creative decisions I made.
For those who haven't seen the short, here it is: • I shift with my pinky now

An Ironic thing for me is that he's trying to grow a stash and is struggeling while I want a clean shaven face but it grows back after like three days!

[@juliankoch9921]

Mumbo can punch through wood. But also move ridiculously fast between poses and change the weather at the same time

[@Vault-TecRegionalOffice-zn2tm]

He is a powerful being beyond our comprehension. Must come with the accent. English people are really something else.

[@le0t0rr3z]

[@nyromath2195]

Nor should he be for such a masterpiece

[@dondp2741]

I'm extremely confused if this is an absolute masterpiece or a horrendous creation that should be burned at the stake

[@discochaotica]

He apologizes by instinct. It's the curse of being English.

[@one-eyedpete3302]

And we all know he CAN actually punch his pinky through wood.

[@CoffeeShan]

@@dondp2741 yes :D

[@Corzappy]

The awful drilling actually really sold the illusion that you were punching through the wood and not just like vaporizing perfectly 1/2 inch holes into the board.

[@preistestdragon4634]

yeah if it were all smooth it would have telegraphed everything was staged. but as is you could be fooled into believing it was real.

[@shiwakao]

i thought the finger might've been cg cause i didn't expect that someone would make a grotesquely elongated finger for u

I knew it was a practical effect because it looks so good. Not saying CG can't be obviously but it's also really expensive and time-consuming. I was really happy to find out it was a custom price as opposed to a thing they just bought though! I love when artists get to flex their skills like this.

[@dogsofcorn]

y'know what. when i saw the video i didn't think the finger was that bad. but now upon seeing it again i've been able to truly appreciate how grotesque it is

[@LuckySketches]

It's interesting to watch the punching through clip after he explains it, because if you look at Mumbo it's obvious but if you look at his pinky it isn't.

[@DaizoDeeVonOfficial]

This is one of those "Repair...NO WAIT GO BACK" keyboard memes, which is funny because it involves a keyboard. It was very well filmed Mumbo, and you should be in the Schrödinger's cat realm between proud and not proud. It's art.

Gotta love the behind the scenes of each shot, explained better from a filmographer.

[@Duckable]

as someone studying film/cinema in uni right now, seeing how you do all the things you do for a *30 second* short is really inspiring. keep it up :)

[@secularstormchaser0074]

It truly is cursed, but a masterpiece, like a H.P.Lovecraft novel

[@swiftlymurmurs]

H P Lovecraft actually only wrote a single novel in his life and it's widely considered pretty good, but far from his most interesting work

[@tigerlily6968]

​@@samuelhawkins3820 He has a wife; her name's Gina. As a craftswoman herself, she makes accessories much like Willy's. She's more skilled working with wood than her husband, and she's not afraid to work on thicker, harder wood than she was comfortable with when they first started out. She spends her time mainly downstairs, around the back. She keeps it tidy, but she often tells him it's tight for space back there, and the backdoor needs widening.

[@RetroOnSpeedDial]

We need Mumbo branded pinkies. Maybe like a pen, screwdriver or just a pointer

[@discorobots198]

The cool thing about the "poking the hole in the board" scene is that I, and I assume everyone else, naturally look at the X. When you are looking at the background, you can see how it changes from one shot to the other, but when you are focused on the X, you don't really notice.

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

Wait wait wait wait wait! Hold up.... You have a Sun?... in England? That surprises me more than all the of the other stuff in the video.
