Script for the next Brickfilm Done!

So longtime visitors will know that I dabble in Brickfilms (or, more accurately, I have made one). I like the format, because I can be as creative as I want, and then I have to rein it in to something more reasonably possible, which is a really neat creative process.

I’ve written the script for the first episode in what I think will be a ten episode arc, and now I’m in the process of storyboarding it… trying to come up with camera angles and sets and all that fun stuff. I’ve already started rounding up some voice talent, and with some luck I can start filming in a week or two!

It’s still a long, long way from the point it will be finished, but it feels satisfying to get everything lined up so that when it’s ready I can just… do it. I’m going to try a few new techniques this time (animating the mouths so the characters actually speak, for example), and I’m already toying with a couple other story lines to work on (and whether to focus on one world at a time, or to do them in sequence).

Gosh I love writing!

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
