Story
A continuation of ‪@johncarpenter1‬ 's 'The Thing' (1982) is brought to viewers in the thrilling horror story written by Rapid Action Animations 'The Thing: Repercussions' (2023). After the events of 'The Thing from Another World' (1952) and John Carpenter's 'The Thing' (1982) both McReady and Childs die in the cold and isolated arctic. A nearby American arctic research outpost (Outpost-32) manages to become intertwined within the events of the alien massacre as some of the crew arrive to Outpost-31 on a routine maintenance request. The rest as they say is history... who survives, who becomes infected and what happens next is for you to find out.

Special Thanks
Special thanks to ‪@johncarpenter1‬ for creating 'The Thing' (1982) and 'The Lost Themes' (His musical albums). Both were massive inspirations and motivations to help me produce this film. I plan on trying to get an interview with Carpenter but only time will tell if I am successful. The second shoutout goes to ‪@studioADI‬ or otherwise known as 'Amalgamated Dynamics'. They produced the breathtaking practical effects for 'The Thing' (2011) which were sadly CGIed over due to marketing/profit based reasons. They went on to make 'Harbinger Down' (2015) which was a masterfully crafted practical effects full movie funded by crowd funding.

Author's Note
This project almost broke me. From the intial stages of coming up with the plot mentally to actually finishing the editing and uploading the final product it took me over a year. The script was meticulously crafted for around three to four months and revised by ‪@badlaxeanimations3205‬ , ‪@cactus8360‬ and ‪@JBWFILMS‬ . This workflow allowed plenty of mistakes and details to be fixed allowing it to become more natural and laminar. Storyboards and concept art were also produced to add more attention to detail to the process and to allow for the artstyle to be created. All stop motion was done using 'Stop Motion Studio Pro' (IOS) at 15 FPS on an iPhone XR. This combined with 4K exporting allowed for high quality resolution animation. Whilst animating I did my best to maintain the lighting, composition and cinematorgaphy from the original film as well as creating my own elements within those. All footage was brought to VSDC Pro video editor which from there was processed, refined and enhanced. The miniature shot's were shot seperatly from everything else on various coloured backgrounds (White, Blue, Black, Orange) until the best method was found. In terms of compositing many techniques were used or tried (ex: I tried motion tracking but it didn't turn out how I liked). The sound design was done last using the soundtrack from ‪@johncarpenter1‬ 's 'The Thing' (1982) and 'The Thing' (2011) and sound effects from footagecrate and youtube (all sources are listed below). I'm extreamly proud of this film as it's my longest, most ambitous and imo my best work yet.
Behind the scenes will be dropped in a few months.
Thanks
