Sodor's Finest: Edward - Progress Update #2

Added 2024-03-13 15:18:50 +0000 UTC

Here's the latest progress update on Edward's Sodor's Finest redo!

Above are some more visual edits that were completed for the skits, which reveal more of the story! You saw the opening of Edward's Day Out before. The majority of Edward's Exploit will also be covered! The clenching Edward shot and the wide shed interior shot were completed by me, and the Gordon shot was completed by Jacob Jarrett. The close-up of Edward's boiler is from Jacob's own Gauge 1 replica, which has become quite handy for picking up shots like these!

The voice actors have all sent their lines in, and now just waiting on revisions from a few. Tom Marshall is returning to be our narrator! Robin Edwards, who played Percy in Percy's SF intro, is returning as Thomas. Trampy, of course, is taking part and playing James and Edward's Driver. Richard Browning, who you may remember as Captain Star in Tugs: The Lighthouse Edit, is playing Gordon! And newcomer David Piper is playing Edward. Quite a cast for this!

As for the video essay, all audio has been recorded and edited, and I'm midway through editing The Railway Series section. My goal is get the majority of that completed today, and move onto the Model Series section tomorrow.

Still a lot of work ahead of us, but it'll be worth it. Thanks for being patient!
