IZ:TDM! and 2016 - The Game Plan

I've failed you guys in the sense that this project has been in Development Hell for a while. That changes this year.

I think part of the problem stems from a lack of help in a few areas, like the concept art department. Now, hold on, this does not mean I think what help I got was useless! No, rather, it just means I didn't get enough volunteers (the ones I did get were awesome). So, first things must come first. Starting Monday, I'll redouble my efforts and talk to every concept artist I have to get things moving back to full steam in that department (and to get more character concept artists, and to get background design artists at last!) - it's a priority.

Secondly, I will be putting more emphasis on those VA's that haven't finished their lines yet, in order to ensure a speedy wrapping up of this so I can get to work on the film's audio track at last. I have a spreadsheet detailing who still needs to finish, so that should be a straightforward task to complete. I intend to get that done as soon as is humanly possible.

Lastly, should all go well, this is the year that will see Storyboards done and the animatic fully made. I've got a few people interested in storyboarding, and they will certainly be of help in that area. I just need to get my thumbnails finished so they have a reference point to go off of.

Well, there you have it. I hope I've sufficiently updated you as to what the plans are for this fan-film in 2016. Here's to hoping life knows that it needs to go take a hike while I'm busy bringing IZ:TDM! to completion.
