6/1 Weekly Update

I skipped last week. Was on a break so there wasn’t really anything excited worth sharing.

Episode 6 is still out for audio clean up, so there won’t be anything from that until it’s ready for release.

Minisode # 4 “Volleyball” I’ll probably come up with a better title by the time it’s released, is in production.

Takes place a few weeks after the Alliance Entrance Exam. Chances are this will be released shortly after Episode 6 is out. So far it’s moving along rather smoothly. The opening  2 scenes have been animated.

This minisode sort of serves as Sharon Amare’s/Amber Lee Connor’s active debut in the series. She debuted in Minisode 3, Amy’s episode, but that was a flashback. This is the first “released” episode where she is actively engaging with the current cast.

This is a fun one. It’s technically “Minisode 7” in script order, but I haven’t mixed the other minisodes that were written before this one, so release wise, it’s “4”. I’m not entirely sure if the others will be fully animated or just released as audio dramas. Not yet anyway. There is a Sharon minisode, it’s number “6”, that I might. There’s also one that focuses on Stephen and Veronica, it’s actually kind of funny since Jessi Nowack gets to act drunk and that’s always hilarious, so that might get animated as well.

This minisode is heavily Haikyuu! inspired. It was written when I was first introduced to that anime and ended up binge watching it. So there’s A LOT of Haikyuu references. Both animation sequences and lines. It’s intentional. Haikyuu is amazing, go watch it if you haven’t.

Amanda Lee as Karin in this one shines.

I expect to have this minisode fully animated in animatic form by next week. Probably cleaned up and ready for release by July.

The joy of having a sound designer working on Episode 6 is that it’s not rushed released and it gives me time to work and get other things ready for release. Chances are the Act 1 finale release will be like a week long event of videos just being dropped.

Episode 6: Broken Promises on Tuesday

Minisode 4: Volleyball (Tentative title) on Wednesday

Shattered Heaven Act 2 Preview Music Video on Thursday

Dragon Star Episode 1 Preview on Friday

Is the potential schedule.

Karin-1

I mention Dragon Star because that is the next animated project after Act 1 is finished. I’ve already wrapped up the animatic for the first scene. I’m currently working on one of the gaming clips and then I’ll begin clean up for it.

I’m really looking forward to it because it’ll be a much needed break from Shattered Heaven and all the mech work. And more importantly I’ll be able to help a friend, Kira (Amy) see something she’s wanted actually happen. Just wish I had more time to balance everything I need to do ;_;.

That pretty much wraps up what’s going on. See you next week!
