Boxtown is the story of a con-man detective Tim Standing (Alex Hirsch) who teams up Bill, a sweet, innocent 8 year old orphan (Sarah Lew) to solve mysteries in an overgrown metropolis teeming with crime.
But that sweet orphan has a hidden side – when backed into a corner or threatened, he becomes a terrifying, killing machine, able to decimate anybody his path with the murderous zeal and efficiency of a trained killer.
Bill's "rage mode" comes in handy to Tim as Boxtown is teeming with crazy characters including a menacing King of Crime, a gun-wielding gangster dog, a 1000-year old zombie mafia don, and a host of other colorful mobsters. Because after all…
Tim Standing is a mediocre detective but a great con-man. After years of ripping off and scamming his clients instead of actually helping them, he’s created a lot of enemies for himself. Tim used to be a star detective at Argus Investigations but left due to his own pride to strike out as a solo sleuth on the streets of Boxtown. This hasn’t been working out very well for him. Sarcastic, cynical, and always creative, Tim will stop at nothing to show up his former employer and achieve glory as the top detective in Boxtown.
Bill the Orphan is a sweet kid with a few problems. He harbors a lifelong obsession with detectives, the celebrities of the Boxtown world. Bill idolizes the detectives at Argus Investigations and wishes to join their ranks, despite being 8 years old. Bill is the only orphan remaining at St. Anthony’s Catholic Home for Boys because his rage condition has caused him to be adopted and returned multiple times. Now that he's partnered up with Tim, he'll stop at nothing to become the great detective he knows he can be.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the inaugural update of the new Boxtown Production Blog on our brand-spanking-new website! The Boxtown crew has been busier than ever and we're excited to bring everybody up to speed on what we've been working on!
Animation
First off... animation! GLORIOUS animation! We've been staffing up our animation team as they set out to execute the scene where Tim "adopts" Bill as our first animated scene. We want to be able to release the as a proof-of-concept with the launch of our final crowdfund.

Model Sheets
Meanwhile, our art director Chelsea has been creating the final model sheets for our animators!
A model sheet is a document used to finalize the design and proportions of an animated character to ensure consistency across different scenes and animators. Creating the model sheets requires a lot of back and forth discussion as we look at our drawings of the characters and start to get really specific about how they look and turn in 3D space.
