Serial Killer pt2 - Belle and Brahms
I got to be a backup for this MEP and I'm so mcfreakin glad I was cause I am so in love with these two you guys don't even know okay
Huge shoutout to my angel of editing Unstable Obsessions for not only hosting the masterpiece of a MEP but teaching me about Mocha tracking, I was able to line up so many shots super easily because of her and I can't wait to use it in more projects in the future ;w;
Story is that Belle and Cole move into the old Heelshire mansion together, and while Belle is exploring her new home she comes across an old doll that was left behind by the previous owners, along with all their other stuff. She adopts it as her own and remains almost blissfully unaware of the strange happenings around the house until one night, where Cole calls it out and it ramps severly. After it does, Brahms himself appears and gets rid of Cole for her, knowing how she doesn't actually care for him, and when he expects her to run after her not so thankful first reaction, she surprises him by being excited to see him. She ends up staying in the house with him, where he stops living in the walls and the two raise a family together.
The story for this one bounced around A LOT while I was blocking it, at first I wanted to have Belle interact more with not only Cole and Brahms (who's doll version had a lot more planned screentime) but also with Malcolm, who was going to flirt with her and be incredibly boring haha All in all I wanted to show her being fed up with the two of them and be much more interested in taking care of doll Brahms so by the time he shows up she's excited to see her boy be real which toooootally isn't how I would react in that situation at all :3c
But once again there wasn't enough time, so Malcolm got cut entirely and I only got to show Cole all of five times before he died ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I did get to keep my ending of them starting a family together though so I'm very very happy for that! I know I say this a lot but I've been wanting to do this idea since the first movie came out, so having the sequel (which does not exist actually unless you count the version where I rewrite the entire ending cause it SUCKS oh my god) with footage of Jude being their son was much too pure and adorable to pass up so that'll be my new happy ending for that vid. Getting to properly test out some of my old ideas with this one really sealed the deal, so at some point I need to go back and fix the block I started years ago so the ending fits in uwu
