Out of the Gate

 One week after the release of Episode 1 we’re still running at full speed. Well, one leg is anyway, if we were to continue the metaphor. The other one seems to have stepped in a tar pit called “organic animation.” The act of animating the dragon has proved quite challenging, as each solution seems to create its own problem. Fortunately there is no full body shot of the dragon until Episode 5, so we have some time to get it right.

 Stunt team continues as always, but it has slowly begun to grow. Official choreography is slated to begin next week.

 In other bright news, we expect to receive the first full draft of the Episode 2 soundtrack today, just in time to get it refined and deliver the next episode to you by this time next week.

Until then!

Sometimes You Beat the Dragon…

Hello again! So, good news and slogging news. Saturday we had our first reading for Season 2, which went well, despite our significant gift of gab. The 122 pages only took 5 hours to get through. (Though, in all fairness, the first three pages took an hour.) 

 

 By request, the cast got to see the completed Episode 1 (once they finished the first two-thirds of the script.) Even with enormous levels of self-criticism, the response was generally positive, even from our most skeptical member.

Sunday saw another stunt meeting, this time focused on developing the shortsword drills required for a particular location in Season 2.

 Now, the slogging bit. We have run into a bit of a hiccup with the dragon animation for episodes 4 and 5. Mostly the challenge revolves around properly integrating it into the environment, as the model still looks far too crisp and clean for the world it’s in. All of this is a steep learning curve, but it will get done, even if we have brick shaped impressions on our foreheads by the time it’s all said and done.

Well, that’s about all for now. Until next time!
