I'm Matt Braly, Storyboard Artist and Director on Gravity Falls. Ask me anything!

Greetings from Gravity Falls friends!

I'm Matt Braly, Storyboard Artist and Director on Gravity Falls. If I had to describe my GF experience I would say it was extensive. I started as a wee board artist on Season 1 and since then have done everything from character designs, directing, editorial, late night story breaking sessions with Alex, and have generally been living, breathing, and swimming in the characters/world for a good 4 years now. The scent of the Mystery Shack lingers on my very being and will NOT WASH OUT.

I want to do this AMA primarily as a way to connect with fans and deliver insight on what it's like to work on the show. But first, some notes:

*I would love for this to focus on the craft of making the show. GET SPECIFIC. Was there a scene you loved? A character design? A bit of comedic timing? There is a story behind any single moment on the show and I would love to share it!

*Keep your questions short and to the point, that way I can answer a whole lot of them!

*Feel free to ask lore questions, just know that I am not Alex. Any answers given will be my own point of view and NOT a confirmation of any kind of official canon.

*Don't limit yourself to questions about episodes I've directed. I have had the good fortune to be involved in some shape or form with almost every episode.

*Lastly, the views expressed here are my own and do not represent/reflect Disney, Mickey, Donald, or Tadashi.

Lastly, I just want to say that we adore you guys. Truly. There is nothing quite like having a fanbase that is as cool and devoted as this one. Thanks for watching, and have at it!

EDIT: GUYS THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL QUESTIONS. I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS THING OPEN FOR A FEW HOURS AND WILL BE ANSWERING Q's THROUGH THE DAY. PLEASE TRY TO REFRAIN FROM QUESTIONS THAT HAVE LIKE 6 PARTS HAHA

EDIT 2: OK FRIENDS I'M SPENT! THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING QUESTIONS AND FOR WATCHING THE SHOW. FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE QUESTIONS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM LATER. BE WELL!
