production is now on a roll!!!

after all the dilly dallying i.e. making set/characters that we're not gunna use, we have finally settled on what look works the best!
just to bring everyone up to speed with our slow progess, we, I, had started this project wanting our sets and characters to look like stufft figures, fabrics, cloth, felt...all that..a real unique look that somehow would not work with the designs we ended up getting from a certain Simon Estrada, character designer.

Upon seeing his designs i decided that we had to get his look in the film. but how? well, after looking at the option of just using cutouts, i wanted to try something using a material called foamie. Its a thin colored sheet of foam that looks awesome, and it is posable, so long as there are wires behind them, or glued inside folded pieces, this is how we made early arms.
after a few tests, i thought it looked good and it would work, so i planned on converting all of Estradas drawings into foamie characters. This process took SOOOOO long, and i spent weeks making characters, mostly sean connery, our suporting character. Facial expressions are a whole other story with this method and it was proving to be a bit too much work.

But i pressed on, until one day, i realized that if i was going to convert all of the mackenzies into foamy, that our film would never get finished. like.....NEVER.
So i made a choice 3 nights ago after a couple of tests...NO MORE FOAMIES!!!!
Why? TOO MUCH WASTED TIME! so instead i have gone back to Estradas orginal artwork, colored, printed and cut it out. and it looks AWESOME!.

I added another artist by the name Stephanie Cheung, who I contacted after seeing 2 of her drawings, i knew her style would work seemlessly with Estradas. So bringing her on the team has doubled production. and the results are gorgeous.

GO TITAN STINGERS!!!! YYEEEOOOWO!! sorry. that was lame.
