Casting, casting, casting

We are still casting the voice talent. Can’t say anything yet ‘cept we are excited about all the prospective parties that have expressed interest.

Jamie Thomason has come on board to direct them and he is ‘da bomb’ of voice directors and he is an unmeasurable help in this casting process.

Again, I’d love to share this casting as it unfolds, but really can’t until we are done.

Another One Bites the Dust

My first G5 Quad core that I ever bought in 2005 finally bit the dust, but not without a bunch of hours of troubleshooting, reinstalling, and generally swearing.

This computer must have been operative for at least 10,000+ hours. The hard drives are still good. The RAM has already gone into other machines. The video card will eventually be used on one of the other workstations – kind of like organ donation for computers.

Needless to say, I spent too much time doing tech support and not enough time animating this week, but still managed to put out about 10 seconds of finished shots and 30 seconds of redos.

Some Journalists Really “Get” Strange Frame

I’m very thankful for real journalists like Darren Albert at Sci Fi Scoop. He actually did some research and wrote a great piece about what we are doing with ‘strange frame’. (Most news outlets – like USA Today- have been just reprinting our press releases)

Sci Fi Scoop

You can read Darren Albert’s article here: http://www.scifiscoop.com/news/the-uniquely-animated-strange-frame-love-sax/#more-14601

Quiet Earth, a site which is “Dedicated to genre film and all things post apocalyptic” really knows how to grab attention for us with their writing and we are grateful for it.

I think these kind of reviews are more effective that the major outlets in letting our audience know what’s up with what we are doing.

Again, mucho mahalo to you all that have written about ‘strange frame’.

This gorgeous animated sci-fi story explores the theme of the transformative power of love between two women. As our story begins it is the 28th century, 200 years after the Great Earth Exodus. We re on Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons. Our hero Naia is a feisty, young singer-songwriter who falls in love with the beautiful saxophonist Parker. The two embark on their new relationship and also form a band and now they have to not only make it as musicians but also to fight for their freedom. Dramatically rendered in rich, hand drawn animation, Strange Frame brings us into a world of space pirates, indentured slaves and genetic mutations infused with music throughout, to create a dreamlike tale unlike anything you ve ever seen.
