HAPPY NEW YEAR!! — It begins!
Added 2020-01-03 01:15:04 +0000 UTCProduction has officially began (since 2 days ago). Here's what's up:
- 113 shots for the first chapter.
- Still no luck with finding clean-up assist, or background assist.
- Moving ahead with animated boards + sound design
So... not finding help wasn't a dream start for the year, but I anticipated plenty of roadblocks before getting the project up to a proper steady speed. That said, I'm not going to let it hold up the process.
While I continue the search for help, I'll be getting the boards translated into a rough animatic and getting the soundscape in order, as well.
It's the first chapter so it's important (all the chapters are, but you know what I mean), and compared to the following few chapters, is a bit of beast (which might be scaring off potential folks to help, despite the pay, basically a thousand a month for both clean-up and background, so $2,000 a month = yes, I'm gonna be digging hard into my own finances while treating it like a full-time unpaid job lol). Sharing this information isn't for anything other than transparency, not asking for more from you guys. The goal is to have more people on board supporting the project, not to have the current supporters feel like they need to contribute more. So don't. I'm very serious about that.
I intentionally saved as much money as I could in order to test out most of the year to see if/how support grows for the project, but with the full understanding people need to see results. Results they are interested and willing to support.
While I've often shared much of the progress with twitter, I'll be toning that back quite a bit and posting here instead. Obviously, sharing stuff on social would help draw in new supporters, but from here on out, I'd rather draw in new supporters from finished chapters or rarer updates than just teaser images of minor progress.
This is all new for me, this phase of the project. So, as always, I can't tell you how much your support and PATIENCE means to me, but now it's time to make it happen.
Happy new year you guys, xoxoxoxoxo
let's do it
