Progress, tiny slow progress
Making short films is never easy, especially when they grow beyond their original scope. Add to that the necessity of earning money to buy food and computers, I have the situation where I can only push this ‘Apple Crumble!’ short film project in short bursts. However, having plenty of time to think about a project (rather than do) means that I can gain some kind of perspective on the work to date. And so I can see that the film is far too long and that I need to cut and simplify.
Which I have started to do. The story will have just 1 location and just 3 main characters (plus 1 supporting character). It also has a much better title. It is now called…
GOLDEN DELICIOUS
It’s still about wizards, witches, birds and apples though. Watch this space without holding breath.

In a 16-Bit style?
‘Apple Crumble!’ cast in a semi 16-bit style. Yes, monkeying with character design is sure easier than script writing, but it does help me to really ‘get into’ the characters.
I like this approach, and I’ve been doing a lot of pixel inspired stuff recently. I certainly don’t think it’ll be easier to animate. The intention is to give a fun aesthetic to the story, and not ape 16-bit pixel perfect animation. Get me?
Ah, well. Should have something to you show you that, you know… moves.
