PHEW!!! Almost 10 minutes long, over 140 shots... it's a biggie.
Hey y'all! Been a looooooong time comin' and it's almost complete. But I wanted to share with you the current animatic progress for our "backstory" chapter.
Obviously it's mostly placeholder stuff here, and there will be original music composed by Noah.
Current runtime is 5:01 and we'...

Not a whole lot of new information here in this video, considering the patreon updates. The newest bits and bobs would be:
Hey hey hey! January is getting close to wrapping up and I wanted to drop a little update on both myself and BSV.
I know my life has been a bit of a rollercoaster since last Spring, but the ride is over. Health is in order, my personal life has simmered down, and I've come away with a bette...

2022 is right around the corner, however, I wanted to quickly recap this year, as 2021 has been quite the journey!

We completed 2 chapters of BSV

Hey guys!
Wow... things have been nuts. 2021. For a lot (if not, all of us), for sure, but specifically (in regards to this post) my life and BSV. For anyone who has followed the events of the year or deduced others, I promise... there's been so much more going on in the background. T...

Thanks so much for your patience, y'all! This is pretty much the chapter :D
Next is the final pass : scene/art asset tweaks / composition tweaks / final sound effects and voice lines / sorting out credits / and music.
Before I go public with the final version, I'll make a...

Currently there is 1 shot that needs animation (I ended up saving the two most animation heavy scenes for last, smart I know)...
Hey y'all! So as promised, I wanted to get the current progress to you guys before I head off to Texas for 2 weeks (ya, I thought it would be broken up into 3 trips... turns out it's 2). I'll be back around 8/24 to hopefully plug in the assets and wrap up chapter 003 before having to fly back at ...

This month is it. No matter what. Chapter 003 is happening.
As I mentioned before, I have a commercial commission I’m working on this month, and just after 4 days (June 1-4), I’m like 70% done, so not too bad (certainly better than I’d expected).
I sent in a chunk of progress to...

Hey y'all!! Been continuing to crank on chapter 003. Turns out it has almost double the shots of chapter 002, despite having a similar runtime... oof.
Continuing to work on base assets (the still drawings that I later/sometimes animate or add lip-sync to), but overall, we've got a lot done....

The animatic is finally done! It's rough... REALLY rough. But it has the basic layout of shots in place.
A quick breakdown: Runtime is around 5:40 // roughly 110 shots.
Like a said, it's rough and there's a ton of stuff missing:
Hey gang! First off, welcome to the new patrons! If yer unfamiliar with my updates, just a warning: there are spoilers. Just a heads up!
Uploaded here (above) are just some VERY ROUGH shots from 003. Just basic assets in place for several shots, still gonna tweak the ones ...
Hey crew!! We did it!! Chapter 002 is pretty much wrapped! Just getting final touches in before release in a couple days (I think... waiting on something).

First off — IT'S A NEW YEAR!!! I hope you all were able to celebrate in the best way you could. I won't lie, while 2020 was a hard year for us all, I can't ignore the highlights. Overall, it's been a productive year, and it just feels right to start the year off with more BSV progress <3

So there's still a bunch of missing sounds and and tweaks to be made. But the majority of it is in for timing and shot placement.
Voices are also mostly just temp. I know I said that last time, but (in 001) with Old Sangrio being a pretty small character with virtually all the lines, I figu...

*Temporary sound starts at around 50 seconds*
SUPER ROUGH but you get a sense of the first couple minutes. Still need to include a few more character intros, then the town and the opening scene in the village. Probably gonna run around 5-6 minutes... still longer than I thought, but I think...

Hey y'all!
Roughly a month ago, I had shown off about 4 minutes of (almost) completed animation. Here we've got about 8 minutes of (almost, but less) completed animation, with an additional 2 minutes of (very rough) progress.... that puts us at around 10 minutes.
There's still p...
