Everybody (Backstreet's Back) - Backstreet's Back


The Backstreet Boys (sometimes referred to as BSB) are an American vocal harmony group, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The group consists of A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell. They rose to fame with their debut international album, Backstreet Boys (1996). In the following year, they released their second international album Backstreet's Back (1997) and their U.S. debut album which continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their third studio album Millennium (1999) and its follow-up album, Black & Blue (2000).

After a two-year hiatus, they regrouped and released a comeback album Never Gone (2005). Richardson left the group after the conclusion of Never Gone Tour in 2006 to pursue other interests. The group then released two albums as a quartet: Unbreakable (2007) and This Is Us (2009).

In April 2012, the group announced that Richardson had rejoined them permanently, and in August, they made their very first performance as a reunited five-piece, closing out Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series. Their first album back as a quintet, In a World Like This, which was also their first independent album, was released in July 2013.

The Backstreet Boys have sold over 130 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling boy band in history, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They are the first group since Sade to have their first nine albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200. They also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 22, 2013.

The Stars of the Show

Every film has it's stars. The people everyone forks over their hard earned money to see ply their craft on the big screen. We could have gotten Kiefer Sutherland or Michael J. Fox to be in our film but we had a meeting and we said to ourselves "You know what? we don't need no big Hollywood actor to be a success, We will make our own stars." This brings us to the two stars of our show, Barry and his unwanted visitor.


Below are videos of the progress of our two characters as they are engineered by our mighty Character modelers. The left model is the first pass and the right one shows a weeks worth of progress.
