Phew, been a while. So the production on the 2nd episode is officially underway now. New additions to the cast and better animation and quality. Sound will be better too! Also I started redesigning www.shatteredheaven.com, it's an on going process but I have uploaded the first novel on there and I'll be updating it frequently.

Life for me has been pretty interesting to say the least. Still looking for a better paying job so I can get my own house, yeah I said house. If I'm going to pay monthly on something then I better own it. Plus places in NY and Long Island are beyond ridiculous expensive. I'm also still looking for a literary agent to get the first novel published, it's a hard and stressful journey, but I'm sure in the end it will all be worth it. If there's anything you really want in life then you're going to have to make some sacrifices in order to get it. Unfortunately things don't just fall into your lap, you have to go out and make it happen. It's something I've been learning for a while now.

But moving on. I have released the Act 2 trailer on youtube. I'm going to add some stuff, ie extras and lip syncing for when I put it on NG later tonight. But if you would like to see it.

Act 2 Trailer

Well I released the first episode last week and I am in the process of putting up onto NG this week. Since when I started I was horrible at Flash and my animation skills were poor at best the files were too big and I was forced to break them apart.

But with mistakes comes improvement. I have already made tremendous strides in audio quality and animation quality. Some of my friends in this field are helping me with the sound editing so I can level everything which will be wonderful. And I've been messing around with techniques in Flash now that I am comfortable with the program.

So I thank all that watched the first one, you can see the entire episode here:

I am posting a screen of the 2nd episode so you all can see I'm not bullshitting about it being much better quality.

Woot! I am getting there, still being generally new to Flash this has been a very stressful task. Especially trying to fit this in a schedule of work and freelance, but I am almost done. I recently finished the animation for the final scene of the episode and have started polishing the other scenes and making sure the lip syncs line up. While I don't have an official release date yet it will be without a doubt soon.

I'll keep everyone (the minute amount of people who may be interested haha) posted here as well as my website.

It's been a long 2 months for me. March, especially was a tough one for me. 2 of my friends passed and needless to say it put production of the first episode to a halt.

Since then I managed to get back into the groove. I'm in the final stages of audio editing, all of the animation is done so hopefully I can get something up soon.

Please check, www.azure-productions.com if you are interested in the latest developments.

Also: I am more than likely going to finish the first season ending tonight, once I do I will put that up on NG.

Here's one screen from it:

I was trying to put it up as an Alpha but the Alpha's page was being annoying. It would load up the submit page after I hit submit. Oh well, maybe I'll try again this week.

Anyway, the cast for the first episode has been chosen and I am getting lines for the characters.

I have the first minute and a half animated with sfx and voices ! And it's looking pretty damn good so far.w
