Daily Update: Believing This Thing
Added 2018-07-15 02:10:32 +0000 UTCAaaaand production has officially started! We're out of the pre-production phase (research/scripting/writing/recording/visual planning, etc.) and into actual editing and asset creation!
I got the complete visual design document to Felipe last night (when I say last night I actually mean something closer to 4:40am, because I am an unhealthy human being). This is really exciting for all of us, because it'll be the first proper episode he does work on. I still have plenty of visuals to make myself (which I'll be sneaking peeps of to you shortly), but this is a huge load off my back. If not fiscally, mentally. It's still a hefty video and it'll be a chore to get out on time. Things are looking good so far, though.
Right now I'm mostly excited to spoil this new opener I'm rigging up. It's just stock photo compositing, but animation is the magic of bestowing life, and I'm actually believing this thing as I look at right now.
Video production can be hellish work, but it's always so worthwhile.
