From Mini to Mighty

Horses!

2011-12-24T16:40:00.000-08:00

I received a request for a couple of custom horses. What beautiful horses too! I've been working from some pictures to get the colors and markings right, I like how they're turning out so far. Take a look, Smokey doesn't have any hair yet though...

Bowties!

2011-12-24T08:46:00.001-08:00

I forgot to take a picture of my handsome wolf groom with his bow tie on! I think he looks snazzy.

Wedding Toppers

2011-12-23T14:42:00.000-08:00

Oh I'm so glad I had this time today! I love the way these guys turned out! I have my wolf groom and my penguin bride! They haven't been cooked yet because I want to get the "okay" first, but I really like how these 2 turned out.

Now I have a new custom order to make... time to sculpt some horses...

The Penguin Bride!

2011-12-23T09:59:00.000-08:00

I've been working on a new wedding cake topper for Nancy! I've been working on the bride and so far I have this little lady. I made a variety of different blue flowers for the lace veil and I left an arm off that I'm going to put on once I make the groom so I can have them touching. I'll probably have her head a little different.. maybe turned to look at him. She's about 3 inches tall and I plan on making the groom a little taller since he's a wolf. I like how it's coming so far... I hope she does too!

Workshop: Wedding Toppers!

2011-12-18T12:06:00.000-08:00

I'm working on making more options for my shop. Wedding toppers are a great way to expand. People want very specific things sometimes, so custom cake toppers are a great thing for me to make. I started with a pair of pandas. These are not too complex but they have a slight realism to their form so they're not my really cartoony ones either. Think of it this way. Say I have 3 levels of toppers, this would be in the middle range. I'm working on flowers, veils and top hats. I think I'm going to add a little bow tie as well to the groom.

I think I want to do some embracing animals too... Maybe kissing, hugging, dancing... playing chess?

Dragons and Things

2011-12-10T17:54:00.001-08:00

So I decided to start making some new stuff for my Etsy shop. I'm trying to figure out what the best animals to focus on are but really it's going to be a trial and error thing. I'm starting out focusing on dragons, foxes, owls, frogs, elephants and a few others... Those seem to be the big hits. At the moment I'm knocking out some dragons, mainly cuz they're fun. Here's a few for you...

Check out my etsy shop too... I'll have more stuff up soon!

Clay Critters

2011-12-05T01:48:00.001-08:00

It's been about 10 years since I got clay critters up and running but here it is, back in action and better than ever. I've finally got that handle on on how to take proper pictures (scrapbook paper really helped) and finally figured out exactly how this kind of business is run. Well maybe not exactly but I think it's a step in the right direction!

Time Lapse Apt.

2011-03-19T21:54:00.000-07:00

Frat House

2011-03-01T05:31:00.000-08:00

The Frat boy's house is really coming together. There are a lot of odds and ends that need to come together but so far, so good....

Molds

2011-03-01T05:26:00.000-08:00

...and it's time to start seeing some progress! Now that I have molds of most of the important, redundant objects, I can start mass producing objects for the apartment! The objects are all made out of plastic and the molds of silicone.

Making Molds!

2011-02-25T06:38:00.000-08:00

Here I am prepping and pouring molds of some of the hardware and appliances in the houses. I'm then going to make casts out of plastic.

Progress...

2011-02-25T06:34:00.000-08:00

Here are some new pictures of the progress of the apartments... Sorry it's taken so long to get up, there are obviously some crucial pieces missing, but there is a lot more to show now.

Truck!

2011-02-21T09:41:00.000-08:00

Also, here are some finished photographs of the truck - compliments to Mike again.

An Update from Mexico!

2011-02-21T09:29:00.000-08:00

My cousin Mike Laura and I finally got our schedules lined up to shoot Mexico. He's got some really cool footage and some even cooler stills. He brought over a couple strobes and proved just how much they can change a picture. Here's some of the pictures he shot:

Video Update

2011-02-11T04:07:00.000-08:00

This is what I've been up to - hanging out in the cave.

Let There be Light!!

2011-02-11T02:36:00.000-08:00

So we were curious as to how the lights would look in the rooms, since a few of them will be on. I need to iron out exactly the rest of the back story so that I can really figure out how I want the lights and whatnot, but I do think I'm going to stray away from the blood and guts in fear of looking too much like CSI's miniature killer.
The light we used was a small LED flashlight that we quickly learned was nowhere near the type of lighting we actually need. The lights are outstandingly bright and have way too strong of a cone shaped light. Everything is just so harsh. We talked to the good people over at Bull Street Station, the miniature train store, and they explained to us we were looking at getting LED bulbs that are the size of a grain of wheat or rice. Those are crazy small little bulbs. I'm going to have Stephen explain the general idea of the electricity and the construction of the building in his post. That all being said, I took pictures of some of the lighting and it's really dynamic and I thought I would share. Again... ignore pikachu.

The last picture here is just no lights, just a general idea of the layout thus far and how light hits it without limitations.

Calculations: Round 2

2011-02-11T01:43:00.000-08:00

I'm glad we decided to make the apartments bigger instead of making my scale smaller, because most dollhouse scales work off 3/4in = 1ft, so if I were to use any prefabricated items as a base, they would not be the right scale, nor would any of the minis that I had already finished. So after all that cutting and tongue and grooving... it was all done over so everything looked pleasing and not so cluttered.
The one problem we did run across was the long hallway and dining area. Originally there were double door size entryways leading to the living room and the hallway. Unfortunately the way it was set up, there was no logical traffic pattern once I added the furniture. We knocked down the dining room walls and shortened the entry "hallway" to make a great deal more room for furniture. It's a very open floor plan, which works wonderfully with all of the set ups, it's just hard for me to recompile my ideas based off the completely different floor layout style. It had become much like a studio apartment.
The pictures below are the walls and rough flooring of the apartments. There are going to be cabinets over the gaps in the kitchen area (the notepad is a space holder), metal door jams (or something like it), trim, window treatments and doors. There's also going to be a whole lot of things in the apartments, and I'm really excited to film my process of putting each of them together.

The quarter is to show you the general size of the bed and apartments. If you haven't noticed already, this stuff is really really tiny. The couch now has pillows and no pikachu (don't ask, I needed something amusing for scale). The fridge also isn't finished, so Don't worry I know this isn't exactly motivating as far as my actual talent goes. Baby steps, my friends. Keep in mind that this is only 1 apartment of the 6. All the apartments are going to fit into the outer shell of the building but I'll have a demonstration of Stephen assembling it, when the time comes.

Okay now I didn't tell you I had finished the beds did I? Well based on what you know about the tenants, see if you can guess whose bed is whose. They're cluttered, yes, BUT that's part of the challenge.

Also, for those of you wondering what any reference to "the cave" may be... it's my little workshop, where the wonderful world of little tiny things are made. Glance into my world.

Calculations: Round 1

2011-02-10T23:59:00.000-08:00

Sorry, sorry for not having updated sooner but I'm about to post a few in a row to catch up... minor camera/computer difficulties, no worries.
Thank you to the lovely Jennifer Mark, I got some wonderful floor plans, apartment layouts and some very confusing but ultimately very correct measurements. Anyway, Stephen Bodiford and I went to work making things to the scale everyone had decided on, which was 3/4in = 1ft. I went to work crafting all the photos, labels, etc. as you have seen in the previous posts as well as starting in making all 6 beds. I calculated all of the measurements of everything using my scale ruler so I knew everything had to be right (in theory). Well Stephen went ahead and cut all of the wood for the apartments based on Jen's drawings and had it all ready to put together when we realized how large the bed I had made actually looked in the apartment. I had told Jen to make each apartment as close to a foot wide as possible, so that I could keep it a reasonable size. Turns out, when you ask the designer to do things against norm, you sacrifice things... like space. The apartment she drew came up to be a little over 300 square feet. That's tiny, itty bitty tiny. Since at this point time is of the essence, Stephen drew up the new plans which worked well for him since hes building the "dollhouse" itself. The new plans are twice as large which yields an enormous project, but still not quite as big as Mexico (still haven't forgotten about it, I ran into difficulties filming). I'll let you see what we had first and then you can see what we're working with now.

That's about how far I got with the beds, I had pretty much completed this one when we realized the size problem.

That's the floor plan that Jen had made. You can see the bed parts in the background (Queen Size), so you understand the footage problem we were having. All the lines under that carpet that's going down, are walls. It was very small, compact even.

The video above is much of Stephen's hard work cutting and fitting the first run of the apartments. I set it to Hyperdrive, enjoy.

Floor Plans and Pictures

2011-01-31T20:20:00.000-08:00

I have posters, pictures, beer, pizza, magazines, newspaper, coupons, axe, menus, asian screens and floor plans!
There are also lists of all the other tiny things I have to make for each apartment. The building is still in the works, BUT it will be done shortly!
Carpeting and other cloth was picked out and purchased today as well as tile/linoleum flooring that I patterned in photoshop.

Frat Pad

2011-01-30T12:32:00.000-08:00

So my updates have been slow because I'm having picture problems and I felt it was much less impressive without pictures, however I do have a JPG file. I've been making a lot of things for the bachelor pad and started on the asian objects too. I have floor plans and elevations and whatnot coming in the mail from my lovely interior designer/pre-pro girl, Jennifer Mark. I'll have those to show in a few days. For now I have labels for beer and axe cans, pizza boxes and the design for the asian screen which was printed on an opaque gold shimmer paper.

The Zombie Apacolypse...

2011-01-24T23:22:00.000-08:00

The city has been evacuated for the zombie apocalypse, that's the setting for the short. There is going to be a detailed front of an apartment building that opens up to reveal 6 apartments (two on each floor like the example on the left). Each apartment was rented by people living completely different lives and tells the story of them based on how and what was left behind. The tenants were the old cat lady, the nerdy tech guy, the frat-boy bachelor pad, the homey couple, the oriental couple, the business woman by day/s&m enthusiast by night.

Based off each apartment, the viewer should be able to piece together the story of each tenant's life. In the short film put together, the music in the background will flow yet have a different flair corresponding with each room.

Next Project...

2011-01-24T08:06:00.001-08:00

No worries, Mexico has not been forgotten, there will still be updates about the completion soon, but in the meantime, a new project is in the works.

The new project is based in a dark urban setting, very bare and deserted. The city has been evacuated last minute, leaving evidence of life around every corner. The scene starts outside a deserted building, a red searchlight flashing in the background accompanied by an evacuation siren. A light flickers on and the camera moves through the doorways of a building revealing the lobby then it raises up to reveal different floors one at a time. I plan on making several different miniature scenes showing different lives of the people who once inhabited the places and tie them all together in a short video.

A big inspiration is Alan Wolfson's miniatures, but I am going to break from just doing storefronts and interiors and work on more residential as well.

2010-11-17T15:22:00.000-08:00

It's Over

2010-11-17T13:17:00.000-08:00

Well the quarter may be over but my Mexican excursion is far from that. Although I did get A LOT accomplished, there is still a lot left to do. Check out some of the new pictures:

Let There be TREEEEEESSSS

2010-11-11T07:57:00.000-08:00

Mexico is really coming along now and I have finally gotten all the glue off my hands to type about it. As you can see in the video updates, the pink foam was all carved out and then spackled to fill the cracks. I spray painted the entire board, then I made a mixture of elmer's glue and water, painted it over the spray paint, and poured dirt and sand over it and spread it around. I placed and fit all the houses, added more sand and dirt and brushed away the excess. The walls were added and connected with stained wooden dowels.

The trees were made with twigs from trees and lichen for making miniature foliage. I mixed the colors of the lichen to suit my liking. I added rocks, sticks and stumps that I found in the floral section of the store (I think they were supposed to be like the pebbles you fill vases up with).

It's coming along. Take a look.

Color!

2010-11-10T22:22:00.000-08:00

Mexico now has color... I'll text update more when I have less glue on my hands from the trees.

Mexico Carving

2010-11-09T18:07:00.000-08:00

Short update on mexican progress!

Carving

2010-11-03T07:21:00.001-07:00

The Mexican landscape is now set up glued and in the carving process. This is the footage I have as of yesterday.

Let's Talk Music

2010-10-20T02:15:00.000-07:00

Got some music on the way now! John is doing some really cool stuff with a Robert Rodriguez vibe to it. It's got some Brazilian influences along with other Hispanic influence. Here is a little video of the instrument that John tried to duplicate in his own way (see the 2nd video).

href="http://www.5min.com/Video/The-Berimbau-Capoeira-Instrument-140452965">

I'm also making progress on the larger truck. I pulled wheels off of a toy John Deer tractor and got help from Stephen in figuring out the scale and measuring and making the truck bed seeing as I'm terrible with numbers. I am making 2 clay pigs that I am going to mold and cast with foam to shove in the truck bed. More to come!

Diez Mas!!

2010-10-12T23:05:00.001-07:00

Ten more houses completed! I'm not so sure how many more I need, if I need any at all. My next step is to start carving out the scene.

Take a look.

Painting Progress

2010-10-11T05:14:00.000-07:00

All of the brick pieces for the wall are finished and painted. All I need is the connector pieces which are just columns, so that's not really a concern considering I have a million wooden columns that just need some paint once I figure out where the walls are going. These are sporadic brick walls throughout the landscape, not the border wall. The above picture is the process of carving the bricks, the different stages. In the time lapse below, you will see how the bricks are painted.

Several more houses have also been added to the scene with many more following. There are more houses waiting to be painted and the houses that are "finished" are waiting for finishing touches such as doors and windows which they will all get at the very end.

Animatic

2010-10-07T22:19:00.001-07:00

I finally figured out how to load the rough animatic up to the web! YAY! There may be 2 varying pans, but this is a basic idea of what its going to be like. The only big difference is that the border patrol shot is cut out and when the druck is driving away it's driving toward border patrol.

Cheap Trick

2010-10-06T06:35:00.001-07:00

So in my journey to find the perfect method to capture my process I ran across this site that explained an alternative way to make an automatic time lapse. Evidently, there is a way to program a calculator to make the camera go off every certain amount of time. That saves me a buttload of money so it looks like I'll be trying that out, but I think I have to catch a short nap first.

Load Up!

2010-10-06T06:16:00.000-07:00

After carving about 50 "brick" blocks for random broken walls in the city, I decided I best get the pink foam and other building supplies for the actual set. I could sit and chop away at little houses forever but we really wont see how many we need until we start placing them.

Anyway, here we are loading up my car with the wonderful help of Marco.

Cookie Cutters

2010-10-04T10:57:00.000-07:00

I've decided that since I made a few finished sample houses, I should start cutting down all the pieces and then go about finishing them. I have cut mother forms and am going to vary the details of the houses. So, although they may have the same basic shape, they will differ in color, texture, roofing, door and window placement, etc. I'm going to check out some fun stationary papers to see if I can get a really high corrugated panel for some of the roofing. I have looked at boxes, but they seem too flat, and I know that once I rip off the outer layer, it won't look very good.

More cutting and more testing to come!

House Revamp

2010-09-30T06:26:00.000-07:00

After finishing the first house I posted, I realized the scale was incredibly off. I'm using 1/32 scale to match my matchbox cars and I guess I forgot to compare them when I was building so I ended up redoing it. The first picture is a comparison of the first house and the 2nd smaller version I did. The 2nd picture is of the 3 newly completed houses with the scale car so that you can see the size.

The houses were made using mainly the same techniques as the first one I built but obviously different alterations of it. Thanks to foamwerks, cutting the foamcore has been much much easier!

Here they are individually::

1st House!

2010-09-28T21:23:00.000-07:00

Above is the first house I have been working on for Nogales. It's a really beaten up one, as you can see. It needs a couple more layers of paint detail but because of all of the glue that's on it, it is taking some time to dry. It's made out of white foam core that i riped pieces of the coating off to expose and detail the foam (the bricks). The coated part was brushed with some water and glue and I put dirt on it. I then painted the dirt and that's what gives the outside that texture. It looks very jungle-esque right now, but I plan to change that with the next couple paint layers. The tops of the bricks need to be lightened and the stucco needs to be whitened.

Below were the preliminary sketches of some houses I was playing with for scaling and size. If you look to the right you can see the 1/32 scale car model I used for reference.

Building the City

2010-09-27T10:55:00.000-07:00

I started drawing out some house designs based off of pictures of Nogales. It's a terribly decrepit city so not all of the houses are all there and none of them are very big, or fancy. They're generally earth tones with some reds and bright blues mixed in (the kind of blue that you find cheap pools painted with).

I decided to build the base of the landscape with pink foam and build it up. I need to start creating the houses first so I know how to shape the landscape, but I'm trying to think about what materials would be best to build them with. I think some of the roofs would be really cool using the corrugated part of corrugated cardboard (you know, so it looks like those aluminum spanish houses). I don't know if making the houses out of cardboard is my best best. I'm trying to do this low budget but I don't want it to look cheap. I did learn some cool tricks at Charged though. Will glued sand to the outside of cardboard and made it look like stucco, so I may see how that looks and do a couple run throughs, maybe even use foam board or hard board (since I have a lot of both).

Here's some more pictures of Nogales and the houses that I'm building. I have some sketches and pictures of the trucks I still have to upload, COMING SOON!

NOTE::: The 2nd picture needs to be clicked on to really see it...

Hybrids and Matchbox Trucks!

2010-09-21T18:12:00.000-07:00

So I finally found affordable matchbox trucks! I got 15 of them (3 sets) and decided to put my dremel to work and hybrid them... pictures to come!

I'm also testing some painting on the spare trucks I have.

Objectives:::

2010-09-19T21:44:00.000-07:00

::Influenza::

Miniature of Nogales Mexico
2 Miniature trucks, 1/32 and one larger
Pan of the city, truck driving down the dirt road and then a zoom on the back of the truck at the end showing the pigs in the back.

The end result will yield a short PSA.

TRUCK!

2010-09-19T21:17:00.000-07:00

So, influenza has been brought back up from the dead, but shorter and more PSA-y. It's going to be the first part of it, so the pan of Nogales Mexico and the truck driving down the road. The picture above is of Nogales. I intend to recreate the cityscape in miniatures. I'm basing the size of my city around the side of the truck. I believe the most efficient way of doing it is to have 2 trucks, one small one to drive down the road and one bigger one so that I can zoom up on it and not have to make the city 20 feet long. I'm looking for a miniature truck online so that I have something to base my larger truck off of when I build it by hand. I'm hoping for the city to be a few feet long by a few feet deep. The miniature car will be about 3 or 4 inches long. The picture below is the truck I hope to use.

Documentation

2010-01-07T09:12:00.000-08:00

I figured out how I'm going to document my progress. I have my tripod set up in the corner of my room and my cannon set to live view from my computer. I am going to invest in a remote snap so I can take pictures while I'm actually working on it. I plan to keep my point and shoot handy to take close ups of small items/details I may be working on. I'm posting a picture of the framing of my workspace so you can get an idea of what this is going to look like. Eventually I may have to change the setup but I think for now it'll be okay. As long as there are a few seconds of each static background it should look okay as a time lapse. Ideally it would be one static background but i think that is nearly impossible with what I have.

Concepts

2009-11-15T22:33:00.000-08:00

So I decided to start drawing some more concepts. I drew one based purely on Roman ships, mythology and art that I really like. It's just a rough concept but it's kind of cool... I think I'm going to color it in just to have it pop even more. It needs more on deck and some more things in the back to balance it, but it's just a work in progress. Here's what I have so far:

SACKED

2009-11-11T08:26:00.000-08:00

After talking to Joe for awhile about Influenza and why I was doing it, we both realized that I was spending a lot of time on something that was going to benefit me very little. If I want to be a model maker, making a film is not going to help me. Why use real pigs when I can use puppets? This was a question I've had since April but most people said it made no sense to use puppets when real pigs were available. Of a ten minute film, there would ultimately be one minute or so that would even be considered for my demo reel. That seems like a lot of extra work for something that wont help me. I'm not a story teller, a filmmaker, or an effects artist. Yes, I can composite okay and that's ultimately my fall back plan if for some reason I can't what I want or something closer to what I want. Rotoscoping isn't hard and no one wants to do it, so there's always that option...

So I ultimately decided not to proceed with the project and instead do several smaller projects. At the moment, I'm entertaining some of the following ideas:

H1N1 PSA - I've spent all this time on Influenza, why not use some of the work I did to create a little PSA? It could be motion graphics, stop motion, miniatures and just some fun little things I can composite all together to create something fun and exciting or maybe even plain scary. Get your shots, kids, or you're gonna turn to into swine!

Airship - Okay, so this was an idea I really liked when I was developing concepts back in the beginning of the year. I didn't proceed because I couldn't think of a good story. I don't need a story, I can just make it fly and do a turn-around. This big, gold ship is modeled after greek mythology. The gryphon head on front caws to ward off enemies and instead of sails, its graceful wings flap through the air. I just think it would be cool to make something mechanic and metal since I usually make soft, hokey or natural.

Armored Animal - I always wanted to make a fur puppet. I know they're hard to work with but it'd be an ode to the founders, to Harryhousen and O'Brien. My interest in making metal things and making things look majestic and powerful is where the armor comes in. I'm liking armored leopard...

Crustaceans & Scorpions - I realized that these critters would make beautiful yet simple little puppets. Because of the way they are structured, each joint separates different parts of the critter making it easy to break down. Instead of having to worry about skin, fur, feathers and anything else that may get in the way, these can be made of little pieces that fit into each other like puzzle pieces and joined together between each piece. They would essentially be made up of ball-and-socket type joints. It's be an easy puppet that if planned correctly could be made in under a week.

Other than that I know I want to make a set of some sort, but I'm not sure what. Maybe something destroyed, maybe the slums of Brazil, (think of The Incredible Hulk landscape as a miniature) maybe even a haunted house or cool building. Still not sure here.

I'm happy though, I'll have variety now and I don't have to worry about everything fitting together stylistically.

New Script and Some Progress

2009-11-08T12:24:00.000-08:00

I finished my new script the other day and Met with my Producer Andrew McClelland to go over what our next steps are and try attempt to secure a DP. I have to redo the animatic now which will take some time, but I'm sure that by Tuesday I'll have a lot to show.

Now that the new script is finished and the story has much more suspense and twists, we can finally move passed the writing... I hope!

Farm!

2009-11-06T08:42:00.000-08:00

My cousin and I drove around Bryan county looking for a swine farm. After asking a couple of other farm owners, we were pointed in the direction of a swine farm. After driving through suburbia for awhile, we saw some pigs on the right side of the road. I promptly pulled over, despite the fact they were black pigs, potbellies I presume. "Beggers can't be choosers" I said to my cousin as we walked over to two men cutting a metal barrel. It was slightly sketchy, so I was glad I wasn't alone. I spoke to the simple man about my movie and my need for pigs. He pointed to the other side of the road to a bunch of PINK pigs running around in the brush. That was EXACTLY what I needed. I had found my farm, and the man could not have been more excited that his pigs were going to be in a "moooovie." I'm going back to see him soon with some of my crew so that they can have a better idea of what we're working with.

Another Rewrite

2009-11-04T05:35:00.000-08:00

After finishing my animatic and going over it with Joe, we agreed that the story needed a little umph. It was missing some key components to drive the action that much further and bring the audience to root for the protagonists. I really think this rewrite will help it a lot. Now about that writers block...

Also, I am still working on the cast. The casting office is not responding to me and they are not open often so I'm going to go again when they open Thursday. They let early yesterday, so I missed them - oh joy.

Hopefully my cast and crew fall more together soon.

Animatic

2009-11-01T22:42:00.001-08:00

So I finished my storyboards and made my animatic. They aren't high quality drawings, but that's not the point. It was to see timing and get the general idea of shots. It's about 6 minutes now. I know there are some breaks in the sound, I had to add some pauses that I didn't anticipate in the soundtrack. That's not the final sound/music at all so I'm not concerned.

At least I have this out of the way. I'm also currently having difficulties posting it for one reason or another, so bear with me.

Sound!

2009-10-30T09:22:00.000-07:00

I'm in Orlando visiting Kelly and she showed me the sound stage she will be doing the sound for my movie on. It's really cool. I finished the rough run through of my script with a bit of music. Jen and Chris did the voice acting and they are not the actual actors (it's over the top at the moment but that's just to get the idea). Here's what I have so far so you can get an idea of how it's going to play out. I should have the animatic by the end of the week and it will start to make a lot more sense.

Pig Farms

2009-10-27T15:45:00.000-07:00

So after going to Seed and Feed today, I was pointed in the same direction as I was last time, but this time I realized what I thought was a misunderstanding, was not. The farm on Tony Branch (not Olive Branch) does have pigs. I'm told they're crazy and unpredictable, but I really don't care, as long as the equipment is okay, we're fine. It may make for some funny outtakes.

I'm going to go check it out early next week. Looks like stuff is coming together. I added a Photographer and Make-Up artist as well. Mara will be taking care of both of those for me.

Getting My Foot in the Door

2009-10-26T20:04:00.001-07:00

So I finally have this thing rolling. The 9 page script is finally finished and I am so excited. I have my visual effects broken down and my character descriptions sent to the casting office. Things I need to do:
1. Secure a DP and a producer
2. Talk to Wardrobe
3. Finish Storyboards
4. Get My Color Guide
5. Design the miniatures!

So far, people who I have staffed:

Production Designer: Jennifer Mark
Sound Design: Kelly Sandstrom & John Nickinson

More to come...
