Animation Progress, Writing Retreats, and Film Insights - 6/17/2024: Vlog

In this vlog episode, I provide an update on our animation process, focusing on the crucial shot layout phase. This step involves planning and blocking out shots based on storyboards and animatics, determining composition, camera angles, and staging before animation and assets are finalized. Next, I talk about our upcoming writing retreat, where we'll spend at least two days revising the script. I share tips on the physical endurance required to write for 12 hours a day and how to maintain focus and creativity during intense writing sessions. I also discuss our strategic planning for the American Film Market (https://americanfilmmarket.com/how-to-work-the-afm/), aiming to maximize our project's potential and outreach. On the entertainment front, I share my thoughts on "Ghostlight," a Sundance film about a construction worker whose life starts to mirror the drama in a local theater production of "Romeo and Juliet." Additionally, I reflect on the beauty of "Inside Out 2" and my excitement for the Euro 2024 games. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!
