Rayman's training: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

Very little is known of what the full plot of ''Rayman's training'' could have detailed, as the only existing footage of the short is in several scattered pieces, of which the order of where they might belong is not known. What is known is that the short stars [[Rayman]] on a log in the forest battling a punching bag character before collapsing out of exhaustion, and the [[Hunter]] from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] making a appearance.

There is a clip of a transition of Rayman being warped through a portal and flying through a world, before being revealed as the title screen to a game the actual [[Rayman]] is playing through a giant monitor while sitting on a chair. There is a clip of Rayman having letters of his name jump over hula hoops in a outdoor auditorium.

==Production and known sightings==

Very little is known about the production of the short, and who specifically worked on it. Production of the short is believed to have started alongside ''Rayman 2'' around 1996 to 1997, as evidenced by the 3D Rayman model being first used for a ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' advert, a French newsreel about Ubi Soft in 1996 showing the production of the cutscenes of the original Rayman 2 and Rayman's Training, and clips of the short later appearing in two French ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' adverts from 1997. Various clips from the short can be seen in a ''GamesMaster'' reel from 1997.

Various clips from the short can be seen in a ''GamesMaster'' reel from 1997.

Infamously, the most well-known example of ''Rayman's training's'' presence would be clips being used in ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s E3 1998 trailer, which was after the original 2D Rayman 2 was cancelled. Due to this timeframe, it can be speculated that some of Rayman 2's original cutscenes were later completed as a animated short, which would become ''Rayman's training''.

The sole known credit that can be given for ''Rayman's training'' would be a sound design company by the name of ''Farra Vox Studios'', evidenced by a webpage on their website containing a photograph of the short with the name "Rayman training". The website of the French National Audiovisual Institute, ina.fr, lists the short as "Rayman's training", and is the only other source of the short's name.

There are no other known presences of ''Rayman's training''. None of Imagina's home media has the short included, Ubisoft has not acknowledged the short's existence in any form since 1998, and the short was never released to the public. It is now believed to be lost media.
