En Garde!

Today, the creativity bug bit me and I decided to write a scene for a small series idea I had a while back. I intended The Deadly Truth to be one time gag comedy short, but as time passed by, I became more interested in making it a small story, told in a few episodes. I also decided to change the tone of the story from humorous to a bit darker. Here’s a quick sketch of the direction I’m planning to take.

If anyone is interested in script writing  in a more professional way, I encourage you to take a look at Celtx. It is a pre-production all in one software that will blow your mind away. Absolutely free, and available for Mac, Linux/Unix, and Windows.

Now that things are back to normal, here’s a quick update of The Deadly Truth. This link takes you to a facebook version of the video that looks better than Youtube’s. While you are there, you can always befriend me.

Here’s the Youtube one, which for some reason is one second shorter than it should be. Just a taste:

Note: I’m thinking of releasing the Toon Boom Animate source files for this animation once it’s published so that everyone can learn from my mistakes, so stay tuned!

The Deadly Truth: first update

My little clip is coming along nicely. Backgrounds are close to done and rough keyframes are in place. Everything on schedule. Progress!!

 

“The Deadly Truth” will be released on Sunday, June 7th, 2009.

Edit: For those interested, I will post more quick updates through Sunday on Twitter. You can follow me here.
