Trailer for Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDh5M0_kwHE

The trailer for Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil is a 1-minute, 17-second short ad made by Dozerfleet Studios in September of 2021, to promote the 2020-released Dozerfleet Comics release of Purge-Flare. Its completion set a standard for the future of Dozerfleet Studios moving forward - that there'd be few new videos, apart from trailers for content coming from other Dozerfleet divisions.

Content
The video begins with a recap of who Clyde Spendelworth is, and what he became infamous for in the events of Blood Over Water. From there, it mentions he has "big plans" for Gerosha. But to get around these, he'll need to get around such pesky local area heroes as SCALLOP, Ciem, and Emeraldon.

He wants to capture youth, especially small children, from Gerosha, and traffic them. He has sympathizer psychos in town, like the depraved Julie Saffins who is blackmailing Candi and Danny. He also has his enhanced goons, such as Lava Tigre. He has mercenaries and spies there as well, such as Drop-In. However, he needs someone to be their field leader.

Frank Morvel volunteers; but Clyde believes Mike "the Pencil" Javelin will attract less attention. But since Pencil is trapped in the Cincinnati Airport, he needs to send someone to get Pencil out safely.

The video mentions that Clyde made a major mistake many years ago in Big Rapids, one that will cost him this plan. His men harmed one Ashley Phillips, leading to Chris "the Purge-Flare" Kennal transforming himself into an Extirpon copycat to take revenge.

Module is shown onscreen next, as the text explains that Chris and his new allies are determined to sabotage Clyde. They are convinced the best way to do it, is to assassinate Pencil, so they can force Frank to take his place in Gerosha. Random clips show how dangerous the mission can be, clips of Chris trying to find a new plane when the first one doesn't arrive, clips of Module hiding for his life, clips of Chris outside of his Purge-Flare outfit contacting Module, clips of Sniperbadger hacking, a clip of Richard Morling being incinerated by Chris, a shot of a helicopter, and a shot of Chris fleeing in the hills of Covington.

The graphics then announce that the story is available for download from the official Dozerfleet Productions blog, and that it's available in ten different languages. A graphic displays the flags of the languages / dialects that the story exists in.

Development
The trailer was proposed back in October of 2020, when translations were being made of the actual work. However, the preview didn't get made right away, due to the holiday schedule. The studio having to relocate in March from Michigan to Florida further caused delays, as did the sexual predator-friendly woke staff at Fandom threatening to shut down the Dozerfleet Database on their platform for refusing to "go woke." The need to transfer thousands of pages of content to Miraheze led to delays in production that pushed 3-13 in release date until much later in 2021 than initially planned. Also, it led to Volkonir 2008 having its comic release delayed until 2022. A break in the schedule to make this trailer finally arrived on September 11th of 2021.

Images
To explain away the premise for the story, clips of concept art were pulled from various other stories' artwork, not just clips from the Purge-Flare book itself. As such, imagery in the trailer is a mishmash of scenes from Stickin' It to Pencil, shot with Grand Theft Auto V, with scenes shot in various Sims game titles from Ciem: Inferno and Blood Over Water.

A special opening intro was shot for this video, showcasing a Veskinsaya-appropriate Cyrillic variation of the Dozerfleet Three-Bulldozer symbol (ДД Д ), as yellow paint wall graffiti. Here, that symbol, which is the Cyrillic form of a letter D, is celebrated for its own vague resemblance to a bulldozer. The trio of it is a play on the Three Bulldozers concept, as doing it in Russian is shown to be more intuitive a comparison for the "Dozerfleet" concept than is the English version, which features a Roman letter D that begins as a dingbat character of a bulldozer, then morphs into a proper letter D as your eye scans to the right. 

Music and sound effects
With a few sound effects taken from Dozerfleet's stock library, the rest were from Adobe's stock library packaged with Premiere Elements 2020. The music featured was originally going to be a variation of "In da Club" by 50 Cent, as this fit the mood for Chris' personality most. However, royalties and copyright restrictions forbade this. The song for the trailer was almost "Basic Implosion" by Kevin MacLeod. However, that song didn't have the right mood or energy for the ad. In desperation, Danya Vodovoz's "Didn't Know" was placed in as a substitute for "In Da Club."

Distribution
Production began around 6:00 PM EDT on Saturday, September 11th of 2021. Amidst all the scuffling to gather resources and edit the video together, however, a final video wasn't released until the following day, September 12th, 2021, early in the morning. Upload to YouTube was completed around 5:10 AM EDT. At 4:49 PM EDT the following morning, the trailer's official page on the Dozerfleet Studios section of the official blog was completed.
