Quick little update on what the cafe looks like so far, got motivated to work more on it, so this scene will be ready to animate soon. Here’s hoping for October release!
Someone looks like they’re getting ready to make a slideshow
Been planning a few different ideas for animated series to make for my channel. Kind of like different seasons of shows. I just finished watching Elfen Lied, and that inspired me to dig out one of my older ideas [Dokokaratomonaku] and revise that to something more modern. I’ll be doing that in addition to the adventure series I have to design a bit more, as well as Frigid & Friends, which I’m currently making the pilot for. I expect to start work on the adventure series early next year with bi-monthly episodes, and the Dokokaratomonaku series (probably renamed) by around Summer ‘16. I hope I’ll have a lot of support, and I’m excited to see what these will end up like!
darnelg asked: How did you come to find your talented VAs?
If I’ve heard of someone before who sounds similar to the voice I need, I’ll contact them to see if they’re available. Otherwise I’ll open up Casting Calls for the roles and hold auditions. I advertise the Casting Calls on my blogs as well as at the [Voice Actors Club]. Most VAs will work for fun, but occasionally professionals will request to be paid. If I want the voice badly enough I’ll pay them, but it usually comes out of my [Patreon], so that helps me secure good voices! So supporting my Patreon also supports the voice actresses in the video!
egor2k13 asked: Why do you send asks to yourself through your frigid drift blog? You think we don't notice?
If I don’t send myself questions, no one will. Basically, when I ask for questions I want people to know certain things. Think of it as a conversation starter. I send myself the opening topic and I assume people will want to know more about it. I’ll stop if it’s becoming an issue though, sorry for the confusion.
ask-frigiddrift asked: Dood so many ponies. Got anything else in mind for an animation?
I’ve been drawing some [Monster Musume] things recently, but if you’re asking about original concepts I’ve been developing an idea for an interactive animation with fantasy and adventure. It would be a YouTube series where viewers would vote on a choice at the end of each episode. After collecting the votes, I’d start the next episode. I’m waiting to start this project once my [YouTube] page gets a larger audience first. Feel free to subscribe and help me get to my goal faster :D
pega-pony-art-deactivated201604 asked: Glad to see more of cute frid pony ^ω^
Hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot more of her, since once I get close to finishing the video and have the final look, I’ll start posting on [Ask Frigid Drift] again with the new style! It will be mainly still posts, but when you see an animated post, it will have full voice acting and be posted to [YouTube]. I’m planning on doing an animated Frigid Drift post once per month, and doing a blog post maybe twice per week or so. Nothing is set in stone, but in a perfect world these would be my work policies.
ask-frigiddrift asked: What's your next big animation, huh? Out with it already!!!1!
I’ve been posting a lot of WIP screenshots and animated tests of my next project, which will be an animated pilot episode for a Frigid Drift series. Check out my [WiP tag] for anything you might have missed! The Monmusu stuff was just for fun, had some creative steam to blow off. Right now I’m still finishing backgrounds and character puppets to perfection while waiting for the rest of the voice actresses’ lines.
Been kinda quiet about some things, if there’s anything you wanted to know, send me a question or two!
I’m pretty far down the Monmusu rabbit hole, the only thing left to do is… make a fan animation! Any suggestions for the plot?
