So. Modern AU time, I might as well explain it
The studio isn't an animation studio, it's a media production company. As in movies and shows, either live-action or animated. The main thing produced is movies though, and there have been three movies produced. Two for two novels and one for the batim game itself. The novels are Dreams Come to Life and The Lost Ones, they're both prequels to the batim movie. And it all begins in 2036. (I might end up creating a timeline for this as well)
The employees mainly have the same roles, but some have modern alternatives.
Joey - Owner of the studio as well as actor, he played Ink Bendy in the batim movie
Norman - Lead movie director (usually the one who directs the movies that have been produced), actor
David - Animator/artist, helped develop CGI used for Beast Bendy, cameraman
Henry - Main protagonist, lead/head artist
Sammy - Music Director, actor, and well-known musician (kinda a rockstar?)
Johnny - Organist
Susie - Actress, both regular and voice
Jack - Lyricist, actor
Allison - Actress, both regular and voice (like Susie)
Grant - Financial advisor
Shawn - Set and prop builder, part of engineering team
Lacie - Set builder, part of engineering team
Bertrum - Set builder, co-leader of engineering team, actor
Wally - Janitor
Tom - Set and prop builder, leader/head of engineering team, actor (both Boris and himself), representative/manager of Gent
The actors have their own dressing rooms that are completely furnished, such as cardboard cutouts of their favorite character of the franchise/who they play as, plushies, a vanity set with a mirror, a couch, figurines, and (in Susie and Allison's case), a neon sign of the character they voice act as. Like their own rooms to make them comfortable while at the studio or on set.
No stunt doubles either, the actors did it all themselves. Norman made them take fighting classes to help prepare them for intense or fight scenes, so they could both prepare and strengthen themselves.
Some fun facts:
• Henry has a scar on his cheek from the Brute Boris battle.
• CGI technology was used to animate and create Searchers, Lost Ones, and Beast Bendy.
• A well furnished and well built apartment complex was built by the studio, meant for roommates, and employees who either needed or wanted to live there were free to do so.
• Sammy composed and played the songs on the radios that were placed randomly in the batim movie.
• The actors were allowed to design their own costumes, but makeup artists were still required. Tailors too, in order to fix the costumes up and fit them to the proper person so there would be no complications or issues.
• Allison's sword is made out of metal and paint.
• The Gent pipes often used in the batim movie were authentic Gent pipes that Tom had (reluctantly) allowed to be used for production.
• Black slime was used as "ink" in the Dreams Come to Life scene where the pipe exploded in Sammy's sheet music closet, coating him and his documents in slime.
• Relating to the one above, Sammy's pure reaction to the slime being dumped on him without warning and on camera was so spot on and perfect for his character that they left it in and didn't attempt to reshoot it.

just realized something. Miss Twisted is supposed to mirror Alice and the Brute is supposed to mirror Boris, so, by order of elimination, Cameraman is supposed to mirror Bendy. The Projectionist is to Cameraman what the Ink Demon is to Bendy. That's why the Projectionist is so strong.
