COLLECTING SOUND EFFECTS

I have been trying to download as many sound effects as I can for the past couple of days. It is difficult to get done because I am still not at home and am still 600kms away from home. I have managed to get a little bit of work done while I have been away but it was always going to be a little difficult being around heaps of family that want to talk to you and catch up with you. Anyway, I will continue to collect sound effects for the project and hope we get something really decent out of it!

PATREON PAGE!

Jade has set up a Patreon page for the web series! Patreon is a crowd funding platform that allows creators to obtain funding from their fans on a recurring basis or per work of art. This means that patrons (the fans) can pledge some money (even a small amount) every month towards the project to help with the costs of making it and in return they receive special rewards to do with the project. This is a good way to keep your project funded. If you are interested in becoming one of our patrons, then please follow the link below and pledge our project some money!

FRIDAY!!!!

It is the end of the working week and I am still away from home! I am starting to miss my house, my family (In Invercargill) and especially my own bed! I still have had no contact from people/places about possible support or promotion for the web series! It doesn't help that I am away from home for other reasons and don't have a lot of time to focus on the project but I will hopefully be heading home in the next day or so and will be able to get re-focused and get support up and going!

STILL NO CONTACT!!!!

It is sooooo frustrating when people just do not contact you at all! Even an e-mail saying that they can not help or that they are not interested is better than nothing! I have had no correspondence back from anybody at all that I have contacted! I also don't want to come across as pushy either and send them another e-mail asking them the same thing. I also do not have much time to wait on an answer from them either, so it is kind of a catch 22 situation! I guess i will work out what to do and get things sorted! Fingers crossed!

TRAVELLING UP THE COUNTRY

Today, I have had to travel about 600kms away to Christchurch (the place in New Zealand that had the devastating earthquakes a couple of years back) from home for personal family reasons. It has been a long day and I am tired. I will be away for a few days and then will do the big journey home again. I still have not heard back from anybody that I have contacted about helping us promote and support the web series, which is frustrating to say the least. I will continue to persevere with everything and in a few days when I get home, I will get right back into rallying up support for our series!

SOUND DESIGNER

We still have not found a soundie to jump onboard and put some sound into the animation with sound effects and foley. At this stage, it is looking like we may have to do this ourselves (or that I may have to do this as Jade is already extremely busy), so I have started to collect sound effects to build up a library. Unfortunately, everybody I have asked either does not have time to do the sound or just declined because they do not feel that they are good at it. So, if I find somebody that is keen to do it, then that would be great but if not, never fear there shall still be sound! 

MONDAY!!!!

I am yet to receive any correspondence back from the people/places I have contacted. Hopefully, I hear back this week some time. Jade is steadily continuing work on the first episode and things are coming together. We will be getting some video blogs up in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled for those and keep checking into this log for more progress updates!
