Update #3: Pink & Blue Quickie! 5/15
Anytime you have a project with animated characters, it just doesn't seem 'real' until actors start adding their voices to the mix. Yesterday, we started getting real. Check out our blog here, and fans of 'Kill Bill' rejoice: http://bit.ly/KbJBwD
Update #2: Quickie 2: 'Lock and Load'
Today's quickie is really quick!
Why? Because Team P&B is knee-deep in pre-production-palooza. Which is a LOT of palooza.
The live-action portion of our project shoots next week/weekend, as well as our secret-character-voice-recording. (The identity of our voice actors will be revealed in a later Quickie, so stay tuned for that).
Why is pre-production soooo labor-heavy and intense? Because when you're marrying photography and computer-generated elements, there's no time for indecision on-set. You kinda have to know how the shot will end up BEFORE you arrive. As with most animated pieces, the edit is more-or-less pre-determined. Those of you who signed up for the DVD reward will ultimately see our first 'animatic' (a 'practice edit') in the behind-the-scenes material.
SHOUT-OUT TIME!!
I want to do a specific crew shout-out to my Art department, and my 2 Production Design goddesses, Cynthia Ignacio and Kim Burns.(Production design is the art of 'Where are we, and why does it matter that we're here, and how does 'here' make you feel?'- and it's always overlooked when it's done perfectly - and these ladies do it perfectly).
And some toy-manufacturer shout-outs to companies like Rokenbok, Maisto, Dulaney Solar, JC toys and Madame Alexander - for their generous donations to our cause.
Okay, so I was skyping with an old friend in New York, and the subject turned to Toys and gender...She insisted on recording the conversation and blogging on it. I'm stealing 'Part 1' of her recording and posting it...just so you'll have a link with JP running his mouth. http://bit.ly/J9jhtB
