Frequently asked questions: “What is the collectors name?” During production, we only ever referred to him as “The Collector”! “What species is Aubrey?” Aubrey is a Sinosauropteryx! “What is Aubrey’s gender?” A girl! “Is Aubrey trans?” Yep! “What species is the collector?” He’s a nasutoceratops, though during development, I didn’t realise my design mistake until it was far too late, haha! “Will there be more Blinkomania?” It’s possible. “What were your inspirations?” I was heavily inspired by personal experience and my special interests! (Dinosaurs) “What does Aubrey sing at the end of the collectors song?” I Only need another Yes I only need another As soon as I have another I will never need another But until I have another I will always want another So I Say …. I DON’T CARE! there has to be another Cause I only need another No there cannot be another Will not give it to another This is BLINKOMANIA!

1 - Since the collector doesn’t have a real name right now, if there are more Blinkomania projects will he ever get one? 2 - What were your favorite and least favorite parts of production? 3 - If there is ever anymore Blinkomania content, will the collector get redesigned to look like a Nasutoceratops instead of a Triceratops to fit with the song lyric? 4 - If there are more Blinkomania projects will we ever get to learn more about Aubrey’s backstory? Also a bit off topic but I really like that the main character is a Sinosauropteryx! 5 - Can I have permission to draw some of my dinosaur OCs in the Blinkomania art style? I really love the short and its songs and I’m excited to see more projects do with it in the future!

How was the process of making the musical numbers like? Reason I ask (if it helps with the answer) is because I've always wondered what it was like in terms of planning, directing and getting the right people to act it out, if there were any difficult parts, specially in smaller indie projects like this it's very interesting to get some insight on how the process is like. Also, amazing job, I've been obsessed with the short since I saw it a few days ago. It's very charming and I'm looking forward to whatever's next for you!

An odd question but, since the song “blinkomania” was from Aubrey’s perspective, did the collector have a different POV of how things were going? Like from Aubrey’s perspective he was annoying, rude and had a huge ego. But was that from his perspective as well? Did Aubrey seem like the unstable and annoying one to him? Or did everything that occurred happened the same way from his view? (I know it’s a lot but I’m extremely curious)

How did you go about designing the characters? When it came to picking their Dino species was there any symbolism involved or just having fun with shapes? Absolutely adore blinkomania it’s so inspiring and so fun!

@DeltaChaosMix

What inspired the plot of Blinkomania besides personal experience? What inspired the characters like Aubrey, The Collector, Julie etc be the way to be the way they are did anyone inspire you? How was the music making process like what character do you like the most from Blinkomania? What was the hardest thing to make in Blinkomania? Sorry for so many questions you don't have to answer and you can skip some questions if you like I am just curious and wanna produce my own films and series.

I have been watching Blinkomania on repeat. I absolutely love the songs! My question is: Do you intend to release the songs in a separate video or on Spotify or something? I would love to add them to my music playlist, and if there were a lyric video or something, that would be awesome!

@PurpleSteam

Is The Collector suppose to represent a “good” collector, or a “healthy” obsession? Assuming he’s willing to pay and didn’t try to hurt Aubrey when it came to one Blinko left. Can the opposite be said for Aubrey? Since some collectors are known to steal and hurt others with what they are obsessed with and let it consume them, which is what she did.

Was the film based on any personal experience or inspired from the Pokémon boom happening right now? Also really love the short film the art style is amazing and the collector’s song has been stuck in my head also does the collector have a name?
