Counting Down

I'm hoping to have the new cartoon finished by October 26 (U.S.A. time). As always, if I can finish it before then, I most certainly will. 
What remains to be done at this moment in time:
1) Animation on the final scene
2) Adding sound effects
3) Composing and recording the music
4) Putting it all together, and editing
5) Tying up the loose ends
6) Making a Spanish subtitled version
7) Creating all the different movie files and uploading them to Selz

That's as much as I can tell you right now! My thanks to everyone for their infinite patience.

  1. Thanks for the hard work Animan!!! I've never done animation but I have edited videos, so I know it's a diligent process!

    1. That's nice of you to say!
      In a way, animation requires me to edit the film in my mind before I do the drawing, so I don't have to throw good work away. Even so, I still have to lengthen or shorten some scenes. Once in a while, I have to throw a complete scene out, because it just doesn't fit the action.
      Another difficult part is getting the balance between the talking, sound effects and background music to be just right. It's a time-consuming process of trial and error---but when it works, it works!

  7. This is gonna be fun, I just know it! I know better than to try and rush quality, but at the same time you've gotten me so excited, I don't know if I can wait another four days! May I just send the payment via paypal in advance just so I can be sure to have it when it comes out and it's all set on my end of things? Whatever works for you Animan, I trust it will be money well spent as always.
    Thanks,
    XOXO

    1. Yes! If you're planning to use Paypal, then paying ahead of time makes it way easier for me. Finishing up a cartoon is always a hectic time for me---so the easier the better! On the Paypal form, please remember to put your e-mail address, and the type of movie file (MOV or WMV) you want! When the movie is ready, I'll start sending!
      Thanks, to you
      xoxo

    1. Believe it or not, as I go through all the time-consuming computer actions, waiting for things to render out or be copied, etc., I have this vision in the back of my mind of all you loyal people waiting and waiting. My conscience will not let you down. I'm going as fast as possible without cutting corners or messing things up. I'm going to need several hours more.

  11. My extreme anticipation is a positive one. I, too, have been refreshing this blog for the past 24 hours. Animan, please don't get stressed out. My anticipation should be taken as a compliment. I know that every frame and every little minute detail is worth the wait. So, I'll leave you alone in your workpspace. Can't wait! :-)
