Killer Bean locates a third warehouse thanks to Cromwell, hoping to find Cappuccino there. After a call to police intelligence, Cromwell discovers that the Shadow Beans was a private organization that carried out secret government operations, but allegedly disbanded years ago. Later, Cromwell finds the note referencing the "Shadow Bean". Cromwell suggests they work together to bring Cappuccino down, but Killer Bean refuses his help. Killer Bean later goes to a bar across the street where Detective Cromwell finds him. Vagan leaves a note to Killer Bean which reads, "Shadow Bean, you are too late.". The fight between Vagan and Killer Bean ends as a draw. Killer Bean goes to another of Cappuccino's warehouses but instead finds Vagan there, who attempts to kill him. Killer Bean ensures his boss that the mission will succeed. Killer Bean receives an encrypted call from his boss warning him that he is being reckless and that the attack on the warehouse should have never happened, and that only the target should be killed. Due to Killer Bean's skill, Vagan suggests hiring mercenary soldiers to kill him. After discovering the massacre, Vagan, who runs guns for Cappuccino, quickly informs his boss what has happened and that Cappuccino is Killer Bean's next target. As the police investigate, Vagan, a lieutenant of Cappuccino arrives at the warehouse. The warehouse is known to be owned by Cappuccino, where Detective Cromwell has been trying to convict for years. One police officer, led by Detective Cromwell, investigate the warehouse shootings. The last bean killed is revealed to be the nephew of Cappuccino, a mob boss. After the gangsters fire a shot at Killer Bean and miss, Killer Bean ends up killing every one of the gangsters in an acrobatic strewn battle. The gangsters refuse, and Killer Bean confronts them. At 2:30 AM, Killer Bean is at a nearby hotel trying to sleep, and makes a phone call asking them to turn down the music. The film begins at a warehouse party with loud music that is attended solely by gangsters. (At the time, the cheapest 3D motion capture system was about $50,000.) Plot Lew thus used an inexpensive 2D motion capture system to speed up animation. Generally, animators are given 1–4 weeks to complete 1 shot, and thus to create 1000 shots would have taken 20 years. The film took about 5 years to create, with approximately 1 and half years in pre-production and 3 years in animation. "Killer Bean Forever" had approximately 1000 animated shots. By July 2005, all preproduction was completed. The concept artist for the characters was Von Caberte. Lew then posted an ad on Craigslist for voices, and auditioned about 20 people and cast four. One mistake Lew regretted was not making the concept art before previz, which meant that many of the previz shots could not be reused for final animation. The first rough draft of the screen play took about 5 months. Previsualization (previz) took about one and a half years. Īfter receiving various calls from movie producers that never developed, Lew decided to make a full feature film himself. In about 6 months, it received about a million views, which was significant before YouTube. "Killer Bean 2" took about 3 years to create, and was released on iFilm in 2000. After practicing animation for about 2 years, Lew started work on "Killer Bean 2: The Party", a 7-minute short. Jeff Lew intended this short only to teach himself animation, and it only received about 3000 hits. The concept for Killer Bean came in a short produced by Jeff Lew in the late 1990s entitled "Killer Bean: The Interrogation", which was later called "Killer Bean 1".
