Sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell.
It's pretty easy to take your senses for granted. But what if one was ripped from you without a reasonable explanation? What if your friends and family started to lose theirs? What if every ten years of your life, you lost another?
This is the basis of our online 'webseries', and is the world that a young man named Caleb is thrust into and is forced to confront.
It's still a year or so before we release the first episode of the series - but if you're at all interested in the mechanics behind the creation of the beast we'd love for you to stick around! It's great to get feedback and thoughts from other animation and film fans, and as we think that what we're attempting is something that really hasn't been done before we're sure you'll get a lot out of being involved!
These are the stages of pre-production that we'll be going through before the first episode is released (notice we're keeping a tab on our progress on the right hand side of the page) -
- Story draft
- Complete Script
- Visual Concepts
- Music Concepts
- Dialogue Recording
This means that by the end of preproduction we should have the story complete, all of the dialogue recorded, and the look, sound and feel of the series nailed down. From that point on we can simply knuckle down and animate our little hearts out to get an episode done once a month.
But before we get to that point there's a tonne of work to be done! At the moment we're on the second draft of the story - tweaking, changing and fully replacing parts of the story that we weren't happy with after reviewing the original draft that we completed a year ago. After the second draft is complete we'll show a few close friends (mostly voice actors that will be involved with the project), and see what they think before writing a full script that takes their ideas into consideration.
So for now, expect written thoughts on our experiences with bringing the world to life in the story phase of the project. The visual design phase is not too far in the future though, so there should be plenty to interest you over the next few months!
