Whoops, it’s been 6 months; I didn’t forget I promise, I’ve been working on a few different things since I last wrote, just been neglecting the website a little, but I see there are new subscribers! Welcome Thanks for following along! I’m intending to post more regularly now I’ve really gotten in the swing of things.
over the last 6 months, I have –
- using Post Its on my bedroom walls I plotted out the story arcs and circle of character and the season.
- done maybe 2.5 half passes on the scripts for the first season, it’s starting to seem like one cohesive thing now which is exciting.
- started storyboarding the first episode, I need to work out how to speed up, at my current progress rate I’ll be drawing for 6 months an episode.
- been thinking a lot about how I design and create the pipeline and how to make it efficient and easy to use now and scalable in the future
- created my MySQL database to store all the information about my assets, shots, sets and scenes.
- built a python module for my tools to interact with the database to add, query or update, or remove data.
- started a writing few tools that interact with the database using the module.
hopefully, all this preproduction development will save me time in the long run, still a long way to go but it feels like progress.
I’ll follow up with a post for each topic over the next little while . . . But first, I thought I better share The Plan for the show as it sits today. Stay tuned!!! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
