Taking General Project Questions

penguinpotential:

Answering questions helps me collect my thoughts and helps relay some info on my project to you. I suggest starting very general since I’ll be creating content along the way.

Reblogging for round two! Already answered questions:

What is the project about?

Is it school related or personal?

How will Patreon supporters be involved?

Who will be helping you with the project?

ask-frigiddrift asked: Who will be helping you with the project?

So far, it’s just me and my Patreon supporters. Once I complete the Teaser Trailer by the end of the month (hopefully), I’ll be hiring (yes, with real money) voice actors/actresses and animators.

The project will be using my After Effects set-up for now, with Maya 3D portions. As of now, I’ll be composing the music like I did for MexiDubs, but I hope to hire a musician along the way to compose a score each episode.

Episodes are expected to be about 3~8 minutes long, and hopefully longer as I get more familiar with the set-up.

ask-frigiddrift asked: How will Patreon supporters be involved?

I’ll be letting my Patreon supporters help name the current and future characters. Cameo Tier supporters ($15/mo) will get a character they made (humanized pony OCs included) as a background warrior for larger battles or shop owners in towns. Patrons also get to see the episodes early, WIP videos (unlike the screenshots I post here), and get 2x voting power if voting via comment box on Patreon.

zedrin-maybe asked: here's one: is it a school related project or is it a personal one? o3o and is it going to be something more casual/comedic or is there gonna be an overarching, longer storyline and/or action?

For this specific project I intend to keep it strictly action/adventure (fighting scenes, exploration, and story building). I plan on starting a second series later on to pick up the slack in the comedy department. I won’t be uploading every month until I get enough help with the projects. (These are both going to be personal projects intended for use as part of my professional portfolio)

ask-frigiddrift asked: What is your project about?

The project (yet unnamed) is an adventure online animation series starring a fresh cast of OCs I’m still creating. The show will be set up so that each character has a finite amount of resources and health (no Naruto-getting-infinite-kunai or everyone-coming-back-from-the-dead). The part that makes this interesting and unique is that I’ll be holding a vote after every episode in which the viewers will decide what happens next (generally speaking). I still have a lot of control over what happens, but general tasks like “fight or flight” and “who joins the party next”. I’m currently working on a teaser trailer so people like voice actors and animators will see what the finished product will look like.

Thanks for asking that, stranger.
