Episode 2 is now complete! Well, mostly. There is still a bit of tweaking to be done on the Soundtrack. Once again I used Music Maker MX, as I am not at all musically inclined.

The episode will premiere along with it’s predecessor, edited into a special movie format, at Cape Comic Con on Sunday, April 23 at 1 p.m. in the Hall of Heroes.
Shortly afterwards, I will upload the episode to Youtube and post it here!

I’m currently working on the digital pencils for the Fiery Vengeance Movie Poster. This is my first time using Clip Paint Pro (Nee Manga Studio) and I’m hoping I can make it turn out at least okay-ish!
I would like to use this program when I re-start Indavo’s webcomic. When will that be? Soon!Wk45_1

sound-effects-Freesound-logoThe process of adding in the sound effects took remarkably less time than the previous episode. I think it’s because I had a large library of sounds already in place. There were only a few new effects to look up. On that note I, once again, used freesound.org. It is a great resource for this kind of undertaking!
Now it’s on to the music soundtrack! I have a large number of music cues that I’ll be reusing, plus 3 or 4 new ones for this climatic episode! The episode should be finished by April 1!

It will premiere at the cape Comic Con on Saturday April 22, then be up on youtube shortly thereafter!

Animation Update Week 43

wk43_1 wk43_2The main animation work has been finished! That’s why this post is so late, as I wrapped up the animation on part 2 late last night. And I did so want to report that all had been completed! And completed it is! Part 2 stand at 22 minutes, 44 seconds. A bit longer than broadcast standard, but since part 1 was about 40 seconds short, it balances out nicely.
These images are from the last two scenes, the gradient will be transparent in the final render, but what, oh what, could it conceal?

So now it’s on to the tedious task of adding in sound effects, then after that it’s the musical soundtrack. Fortunately, I have a nice library of sounds and tracks built up, so maybe it won’t take quite so long as it did last time!

A notice the world premiere will be at the Cape Comic Con, with availability on Youtube shortly thereafter!

wk41_1 wk41_2Battle has erupted over the skies of Nafir!

I’m trying to use more frame-by-frame animation for the special effects and less of the preset stuff. I’m really beginning to enjoy that aspect a great deal.
