Hey all, sorry for the long delay in posts (I think, unfortunately, you’ll be hearing that line often) First off I just want to say a thank you to all the friends (new and old) and family who have supported the documentary project over the last few months. The Kickstarter fundraising was a great success and I have had other individuals donate time and money to the film as well outside of the Kickstarter. THANK YOU ALL!!
Now, for a bit of a progress report. I have moved my editing system into an office down the road from my house and setup a room for work. I have hired a new editing assistant who is going slowly through the 60+ hours of footage everyday and finding the highlights and I (as of this Monday) have started editing. The goal is to be done with a “mid-final” edit by Dec 15. This would include everything from the music and art, to the video. Then hopes of a final product by the end of the year.
One of the most exciting things so far has been the artist that Juliann (our Art Director) discovered. The artists’ name is Xiao Mi and she is amazing. I’ll close this post by showing you a page from her storyboarding for one of the animations that will be in the documentary (click to make it bigger). Peace to all! roger
