All right. Bunch of stuff to mention so here I go!<br />
<br />
<b>INDIEGOGO FUNDING CAMPAIGN</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Firstly thanks to <u>Lucas Collins</u> for his contribution. You made my day.<br />
<br />
Also, though it took some time, I finally finished making the pitch video for IndieGoGo. You'll find it on the page <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/FAUX-Episode-678?a=118863&i=addr">HERE</a>. Man, was that video hard to do....<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I OPENED A ZAZZLE STORE</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Ya, as the title says. Been trying to get that thing up for a while now. Kinda hard deciding what to put up. Of course I am open to ideas if anyone has any, be it images that might be cool or even ideas of different products matched with said images. Love to here your thoughts! <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/fauxshop">STORE IS HERE!</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>CHAPTER 5 PERKS</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Sorry for taking so long with this. I'm almost done! I should be shipping all the perks out either Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'm also hoping to put up some pictures of the stuff this weekend.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>CHAPTER 6 UPDATE</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
I have to admit that Chapter 5 was rough on me. I think I over did it, overworked myself. Must try and be more reasonable. And my baby blues for this one was pretty brutal (happens every episode). So i took a couple week break, I even started working on non-Faux stuff. But dammit, I keep getting pulled back into it. Oh well :D<br />
<br />
I won't complain. I'm starting to feel excited about it again... This should be the best episode yet. Shits going down! I'll expand on some of that maybe next week. wee!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>NON-FAUX STUFF</b><br />
I got some other stuff I will be posting online. I'll have to dust off my other blog or something. It's a cartoon (I lurv cartoons.) it's animated. It's in outer space. more to come.<br />
<br />
(<i>On a strange side note. Blogger is telling me that online, Blogger and blog are spelt incorrectly. ironic?)</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>AUDITIONS</b><br />
<br />

<br />
Two things to talk about.<br />
<br />
<u>Firstly. The Faux5 Indiegogo perks.</u><br />
<br />
I'm working on getting the Chapter 5 IndieGogo perks out to the contributors ASAP. I'm still in the process of making the DVD, having a really hard time settling on a cover. I might post up the roughs and hopefully you can help me decide. Also I'll put up a list of the stuff that's on the disk when it's ready.<br />
<br />
<u>Secondly. Chapter 6 news. Weeeee!</u><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5mgZXSI-Y14/TpGiRs0lxII/AAAAAAAAMbg/82Th-zvUy-s/s1600/423px-1.5signal_hill_bunker_underground_watsons_bay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5mgZXSI-Y14/TpGiRs0lxII/AAAAAAAAMbg/82Th-zvUy-s/s320/423px-1.5signal_hill_bunker_underground_watsons_bay.jpg" width="225" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I've been secretly working on it inside my bunker for a while now, that's the good news I guess. Bad news?The device that delivers intermittent food pellets necessary to sustain my presence on this mortal coil, has ceased functioning.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In between my attempts to tunnel out of here using nothing but an old copy of Consumer report McGuyvered into a shovel, I will finish the Chapter no.6.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Animation will be starting, this week. (VERY EXCITED!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Seondly and a half.</u> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gonna need a couple OR more man voices. So if you got a man voice stay tuned here this week for more informacione por favor. </div>

So while I've been waiting for the backup to finish I've been going through the labyrinth of folders and finding long forgotten drawings and things of the sort, specifically I've been looking at deleted scenes, of which there are more than I remembered. Thought I might post them for the hell of it.<br />
<br />
So here's what I've found for Chapter 1 (2009 version), I'll likely follow up with the others as well.<br />
<br />
<br />

These drawings are from 2008, originally Chapter 1 started with a flashback. It never got much farther than an animatic and these 3 unfinished scenes. It didn't really add anything, so was rightly cut. This version was very short lived. I thought it would be best to start with some action, but ultimately felt it ruined the feel of the sequence that followed it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was meant to be an establishing shot for the 2nd sequence. I was never happy with it. There's way too many problems with this drawing to get into. It's sloppy and symmetrical among other things, oh the lighting is bad. Oh wait, i'm getting into it aren't I? It wasn't needed once the flashback sequence was axed.</div>
<br />

The girl awakens from a dream. I slap myself for this one. It's a bit of a cliche someone sitting up in a huff from a nightmare. This was one the first scenes done. I think it was actually partially animated. (it's someone in the folder labyrinth). I was yet unsure how far to go between animation and motion comics at this point.</div>

There was a scene where Armand and Tet get chewed out by their boss. You may recognize this guy from a couple scenes in the trailer. He's important further on in the story but at one point he was meant to appear earlier, but this was deemed unnecessary.</div>

Comments were posting to ALL posts instead of the post to which it belonged.<br />
<br />
SO, until I can figure out how to fix that I'll be going back to the default comments from before.<br />

</div>Hey! It's Ren and Stimpy's Birthday. 20 years old they are. Easily one of the most influencing cartoons of our age. I still remember the first time I seen R&S, it was at a camp belonging to my parent's friends. They had a satellite dish which was pretty rare at the time. I fell upon an american TV station that showed only cartoons! All day long! It was called Nickelodeon, and on this channel I first caught a glimpse of that stupid cat and deranged chewawa. It was so twisted and weird I didn't know what to think of it, suffice to say I was hooked and I think it's probably to blame for my becoming an animator as well as my collection of magical nose goblins (it's sitting here on my desk in front of me.)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm sort of taking stock of things since finishing Chapter 4 is sort of a milestone personally in that it's the end of the beginning and I still remember when it seemed quite a distant goal to reach.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Motion comics was always sort of a compromise. I preferred animation as a way of telling the story but it just didn't seem feasible in the sense of releasing episodes in a timely manner. For example the original 3 chapters that appeared on Newgrounds in 2009 where released 3-4 months apart. Though at the time I was incredibly busy with work. In the end I found that the end products were rushed messes, too many corners cut, I set myself impossible deadlines, would often be drawing till 4am in the morning. The result is often uneven quality and lack of proper reflection. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I recognize that ones work won't stand the test of personal scrutiny over time. As we get better we can not help but cringe looking back at work we did. But that's part of the learning process. But I think if you feel you did the best you could at the time then there shouldn't be too any reason for auto-flagellation. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So after I finished the 3rd Chapter in 2009 I got pretty bummed out. I was not happy with it at all. I thought it was horrible and could not understand what I was thinking while making it (I was thinking get'r done). I started to question my choices. Work on Chapter 4 ground to a halt, I lost my confidence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">FAUX was shelved until I found myself between animation contracts, I decided I was going to crawl out of my funk and get back on Chapter 4, but first I'd do some small fixes to the first 3, especially the 3rd one while I did the 4th. In the end the small fixes ended up being big fixes and Chapter 3 was completely redone. I'm much happier with them now. Are there things I'd change? For sure. But I did the best I could at the time. And that's what's important.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't think I'm gonna get too much into motion comics in this post. (I think that was the original plan, but went off track) but maybe in a follow-up post. It's an interesting and strange medium, And I would like to talk about it a little, also talk a bit about the motion comic to animation transition.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, this week news on the casting front. Stay tuned!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">P.S. and I made a drawing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

If you can contribute or spread the word I'd be very grateful, there's little under 2 weeks left. Be sure to check it out too.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/FAUX5/">http://www.indiegogo.com/FAUX5/</a></div><br />

Woof, i'm exhausted. I'm going to take a break from FAUX till next week. I'll be going to New York for the first time this weekend, pretty excited about that.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17187395608186788999noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37484953.post-25910448170534668482011-07-21T00:58:00.000+02:002011-07-21T00:58:27.781+02:00FAUX 4 just around the bend.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gUq5YbpN9tQ/TidcnpbPvQI/AAAAAAAALh8/tb4xLNdcEKg/s1600/FX04_036.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gUq5YbpN9tQ/TidcnpbPvQI/AAAAAAAALh8/tb4xLNdcEKg/s320/FX04_036.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />

As the title suggests Episode 4 is just about finished. It should be online next week. I'd also like to thank everyone who sent an audition for Jan and Armand. I was pleasantly surprised by the response (over 100 auditions in total), still have lots of them to go through. Once I'm done with episode 4 I can fully turn my attention on 5 and will be looking for people for other roles, probably beginning of august.<br />
