I've never really attempted to do real animation before, but yesterday I made a vector bust of one of our Heroes of Gheldrynn characters (tracing from our concept artist's sketch and, using one of the voice actor's outtakes, made a 3-second animation to test my steel at doing animation. Once the fil...

Figured it wouldn't hurt to offer here, since there are more animators/artists than music people. I've been a composer for 20 years, and for 17 of those years I've been scoring many indie games as well as having scored 3 feature-length films, several short films, and two OVAs produced by Studio Mars...

One of my former clients, whose productions I've scored, were created and animated by just one person. Using ASP, he successfully animated two OVAs that were 45-minute runtimes a piece (90 minutes overall thusfar), and both were fully produced within 1-2 years by a single animator. The production I'...

It's been posted here before, but this is an outstanding resource for what you listed and then some: http://johnkcurriculum.blogspot.com/ This is useful for artists looking to improve their skills, but I was referring to sites where directors can recruit other people to their project. EXAMPLE: find...

My apologies. I didn't really clarify well what my plan was from an internal perspective. The Screenplay The screenplay was completed back in June 2014. It's 132-pages long (cut down from the original 287-page screenplay I'd written back when I entertained the idea of making it an animated series, b...

Hi George. I appreciate that you are someone who has worked with animators here for years, and your music is awesome! While I can't begin to wrap my head around the work for a feature length film, a short trailer project sounds interesting to me. Do you have a storyboard or animatic for the trailer...

Good evening! I'd written a film that I've been motioning to turn into a feature-length animated film geared towards a young adult audience. It is a Fantasy Comedy/Adventure titled "The Heroes of Gheldrynn". Now, what I'm looking to do right now is recruit: - Character Concept Artist(s) - ...

Very impressive artwork! It looks amazing! If you guys don't already have a composer on the project, I would be interested in making music for it. You can check out samples of my work on the front page of my website: http://www.georgerpowell.com Let me know if you're interested: george@georgerpowell...

Good evening! My name is George R. Powell. While I've been a musician for 28 years, I've been a composer for soon-to-be 20 years and have composed for films and games for the past 16 years. Samples of both my orchestral works and my digital rock works are available to stream on the front page of my ...

I don't mean to sound condescending, but do you know what falafel is? This name makes the show sound like an all out goofy comedy to me as its just SO silly to my ears (I love falafel)! It sounds like an adult swim cartoon... What about making it more your own? Valavel sounds similar, but doesn't h...

Ah, the ever-popular question. I've been asked this question quite a bit, and I'm afraid the answer is much simpler than one would expect. I originally created the characters and setting in 2010 and started drafting a less-than-serious script. "Falafel" became the title as I sought a word ...

This is a piece I composed last night as sort of a thematic sketch. I am going to be producing the fifth episode of "Skynetessa: Steampunk Audio Adventure" this week and wanted to do a nighttime piece for it. Trouble is, one of my lead voice actors is having some personal problems which ma...

I have considered the possibility of returning to Skynetessa on another format. And I actually HAVE been working on my next project's pre-production. Skynetessa has reached its 4th episode (and Episode 5 is waiting on lines to produce) out of 18 episodes I've written, and I've been writing my next p...

And that is a fair assessment. The whole series (thus far, anyway), from the perspective of an analytical mind, would seem more like "animate storyboarding" with audio. I suppose it could be seen as such. Concerning your suggestion to make the adventure-game-dialogue approach, I don't thin...
