Late, Again?! (2019)

Late, Again?! is a 2019 animation short that was featured at Animation Gets Real 2019 in Miami, FL.

Plot
The story begins with Tom sleeping. Little does he know that he's late for his summer camp. Tom finally realizes this after his alarm rings. He zooms out the room, changes his clothes (unseen), and runs to his car. The car drives off. It comes to a stop when there is a blockage on the highway, due to a car that was set on fire. Rain later comes, and burns out the fire. Tom gets an idea when he looks at his umbrella (he uses it to not get soaked). Tom walks into the lobby, and he is handed his lanyard by an off-screen secretary. His friends, Henry and Emily, are waiting on him to join them. He goes toward them and they all run to the door (replaced with the "The End" title card).

Casting
This short was animated by Shaddai K. Wright and Dani Bowman. It features the voice talents of Shaddai K. Wright as Tom, Alan Gonzalez as Henry, Sydney Marsh as Emily, and Dani Bowman as the off-screen secretary. Additional voices were provided by Gonzalez, Marsh, and Bowman as incidentals.

Trivia

 * This short is based on the first day of Shaddai's camp when he actually ran late.
 * Unlike the normal series, this test was animated with Toon Boom Harmony.
 * The designs of the characters were based on their 2015-2020 designs, rather than their present designs.
 * The part where Tom realizes he's late is a recurring segment in Dani-Mation's trailers.
 * This short is labeled underneath Wright's name, unlike Evolution of My Character, which was labeled underneath FTVA.
 * This short was first uploaded on YouTube in 2020.

Errors
Because this was a five-day project, there have been some errors.


 * In the title card, Tom's eyebrows are missing, his neck overlaps his shirt, and an exclamation point is clipped to the top of his head.
 * When Tom runs toward his car, his lower body is missing.
 * Henry and Emily's body is drawn with a brush rather than shapes.
 * A majority of the storyboard's plot did not go into fruition.
 * The plot was supposed to have the car turn on the highway, Tom looking out the window, noticing an umbrella next to him, and getting an idea, walking into the building and getting his items, meeting with Henry and Emily and running into the room.
 * Instead, the plot features the car being driven across the screen via motion tween, cars with the same color, Tom randomly holding up and umbrella, Tom's teleportation into the building and Henry and Emily randomly standing across the hall.
 * Nobody was credited for voices in the credits.
 * In animation credits, Wright's name is misspelled "Shadai K Wright", when it should have been "Shaddai K. Wright".
 * The music was off compared to the plan, but according to audience review, it fit in fairly well.
 * The music at the end is mysteriously cut off.
