Friends of the truth, 

I have been working on this show like a madman. What I’m doing probably isn’t healthy, that’s the bad news for me. The good news for you is the following: all editing of the voice actors for all episodes is over. All FX and foley work for the first six episodes is done. And the first five episodes are completely done. Yes, mix, music, sound design; everything. They only have to be mastered. 

 

So, basically, I’m almost halfway done with the entire season, since there are thirteen episodes. 

 

If I don’t suddenly burn out on this editing and composing marathon and need a break to keep enough distance, you guys may get the season around the beginning of December. 

 

Enough typing, I have frantic music making to do!

Friends of the truth,

Production is going great. Out of the 28 roles, 25 have been cast. The three remaining ones are very small roles, and even though I have been struggling to find the right voices, I’m going to push on and keep looking during editing/soundtracking/etc, if necessary.

The two leads are about 80% to 85% done with recording their parts, and I would say recording overall is around the 90% mark. Unless some unforeseen disaster hits, by the end of next month, I’ll be deep into editing the main structure of the episodes, and the month after I’ll be composing the soundtrack.

If all goes really really smoothly, and this is a bit of a stretch, you guys may have the whole season in your inbox around the end of this year. Fingers crossed.

Thanks again,

Hi Friends!

In this month’s production update, nothing but good news.

Out of the 28 roles, 20 have been cast, which includes all major and medium ones. That means casting is about 90% done. The leads are still working on recording their parts, one of them is making great headway. I would say about 50% of the lines are recorded.

Last month, I struggled to get in touch with one of the leads. It came up to the point where I worried about his wellbeing a little bit and also about the production of the show as a whole – him being the one with the most lines by far. But, turns out, all is well. And he’s starting to record his episodes as we speak. This is a huge weight off my shoulders, and it means the schedule won’t change that much! Great news.

 

I suspect to have about 70 to 80 percent of the show recorded by the end of next month, and then to start editing the month after. I’ve decided to hire help with editing for the first time in my career. I like to be really hands-on, but just to keep this from going for too long, I’ll have an editor helping me build the foundation of the episodes and editing all my foley work. That should speed things up. I’ll still do the ‘creative’ work like soundtrack work or FX, etc. and also the final edit.
