Ahoy! "Animating Deadman's Reach" KickStarter is ready to go live!
I will be launching it THIS THURSDAY, valentine's day.
And it will include Awesome Rewards!
Don't miss it, Thuersday, for 30 days only! I will be trying to raise 7000£.
The preparation was bloody intense, but at least you''ll be able to enjoy making fun of me in the KickStarter video!
I finished the new animatic, and it's getting somewhere now. This week i'll try to shoot as many live action as possible and shade a few backgrounds.
This week-end, Ben Franklin Jr is coming to London to record the main character voices. Fun times!
So far I only have a TASCAM DR-07 to record, no extra mic, so if anyone as a good voice Mic I could borrow that would be awesome!
For this week entertainment here are some title designs I played with:

Week two is finished and I am already late on the planing! Mainly due to the excitement of receiving, signing, packing and posting the books. Greatly due to the promotion tour of the book which involved a lot of celebration beers!
Never the less I've changed my approche to the animatic. I was originally going to draw one drawing per shot, edit and then, later, add extra drawings to make actions clearer. I don't think it would have worked. Instead I've drawn all the key action from the begining. I have storyboarded a bit more than half the film.
I did that in order to edit only once and to not have to spend an entire week on the computer. I will share the day between computer (scanning cleaning of the storyboard, after effect "Animation" and editing) and hand drawing.
I've edited a small sequence to give you an idea of what I am aiming for. Music is a cover of soft cell's Tainted Love by Ben Franklin JR, who will be the voice of the main character, Jimmy.
