Procrastination

October 20, 2008

So…I’m bored…and I haven’t updated in a while…and I haven’t done much writing due to exams approaching. (Actually that’s a lie, they are approaching but that has nothing to do with not writing anything.) This is me procrastinating, not doing my English or Vis Comm work. To find out more about procrastination and how it enables people to have fun and ignore important things click here or here or here.

So, a few things, I haven’t edited the prologue because as I said I have been practicing an artform. Instead I’ve been trying to decide (and I think you’ll agree this is much more important) which new screen name to adopt. The main reason for the change is I’ve found potential employers find it a little weird with my SN being Hoodlum4hire. Anyways. The only reason I’m mentioning it here is because I notice WordPress has implemented a Poll option for posts, and so I will create the following poll as to whether I should be known online as Hirethes or DoubleDusk, both of which sound at least vaguely pretentious.

I have created the previous poll as to whether I should be known online as Hirethes or DoubleDusk, both of which sound at least vaguely pretentious. Seriously, what kind of site name is “PollDaddy”? Serious revisions can and should be made there guys. This is REAL LEARNING. Anyone who’s too lazy to click the link can send a comment with your vote my way. If you can’t be bothered doing that then I don’t care about your opinion.

Anyway, Venzael and I will get together real soon, and figure out where the hell the trainwreck story is going. With any luck it should be finished early next year and then can be subject to the final edit, then transcript, then voice be acted, then animated.

Note to self: Views have been cut in half due to lack of tags on previous post. Conclusion, add shit-loads of tags to post-thatpost posts.

mad beatz don’t sound, they float
phat beatz don’t float, they slide
sick beatz don’t slide, they wheeze

That is all.

Later.

This is near verbatim from MSN. Enjoy the obscurities. Flags is I, Shuffles is Venzael.

Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
We need more collab!
If one of us disagrees it could mean a fair bit of backtracking ^^;

blahblahblah

*Flags says:
And yes, we should sit down and do some serious story discussion on TGS
Among other things
Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
Yeah
*nod*
Pick a day, any day.
*Flags says:
Like full on, SIT DOWN, PHYSICALLY WRITING SHIZ
Erm
Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
Yup
:3
*Flags says:
How about after school, Thursday or Friday. I’ve got loads of time to kill then
Or Monday, cause I can walk back to my dad’s easily enough
What’s good for you?
Or weekends, obviously
Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
Mm
Afterschool will be a bit tricky for me this week
*Flags says:
Kay, weekend?
Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
I have my Performance recital next weekend, so now is not the time to slacken off, heh.
*Flags says:
Hmm
It could wait till the hols I guess
They’re not that far off
Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
*nod*
*Flags says:
And there’ll be no nagging work feelings
So free roaming idea planning will explode from heads and shatter in the sky like a thousand tiny milk jugs!
Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
XD
Okay, it’s a deal
*Flags says:
*extends hand*
Shuffles (Ven) – Ω says:
*shakes*
*Flags says:
*hand is shaken*
*but not stirred*

That doesn’t make any sense

Enter the half-cast

October 2, 2008

As most animators will admit, good lip-synching takes loads of time to get right. The longer the production, the more voice acting, the more working. The other end is the voice actors themselves. So far, myself, Venzael and some close friends are voice acting for the Clocks (the main 6). Some of my other people will be voice acting for various characters, but that leaves plenty of spots vacant. I say plenty, it leaves exactly nine positions open. Well, that is plenty, though some character may be cut due to various restrictions.

One character will be making a decent number of appearences, about 2 are regulars, 4 others are support characters and the rest are small misc castings. Anyone expressing interest can email me with a sample of their work, or you can wait until the official process begins which will probably be hosted at VAC. It is prefered if you can get as little background noise and static as possible, though I can easily edit the audio if it is unavoidable. Please note it will be a fair amount of time before this will be undertaken so please be patient. Thanks in advance.

Oh, and I might as well mention the main characters and their voice actors now. After samples of each of the remaining characters’ dialouge is released for casting purposes, those characters will only be revealed to the chosen actors in order to maintain some secrecy as to their plot significance. And for general euphoria and interest, I will release the prologue very soon, as soon as I edit it.

Characters’ call sign (profession) – Voice actor

Shuffles (Retreival) – Venzael

Pockets (Demolition) – Shimrra_3

Birdie (Technologist) – Jonno_Gradian

Muesli (Reconnaissance) – Eyes

Threads (Reconnaissance) – Threads

End post, enjoy the wait.
