Cardinal Producktions

   I am currently trying to figure out the logistics for filming in person.       Props & Filming Equipment :      - Old TV (Cristian confirmed that I could borrow his brother's TV) ✔     - Microphones for dubbing voices (Mila said I could borrow the one she bought for her opening)  ✔                                                                                              Location     Still working on finding somewhere to film,     -    I could always use my house as the location but the decorations are not what I was originally picturing. So it is not ideal, but there is enough room to film and I have the...

 I've started working on the animations for my film opening. I started with the scenes that will be in the field since this portion will be 100 percent animated and has no dialogue. On 2/17 I started the first animation and it's so so so much harder than I thought. I'm using a new drawing app as well (Procreate) which makes it even harder since I don't know how to work all the features in the animation assist or how to manage my layers.  I spent 2 and a half hours trying to animate grass swaying and I absolutely hate it. I need to re-do it and probably watch a tutorial this time. I tried using the liquify feature in animation assist to save time and make my life easier but that completely didn't work. Now I've just wasted time and ended up with something I can't use.  After this total failure, I'm beginning to work on the stills of the plants since I can just draw and don't have to do any actual animation which is a lot easier.  Starting with the sun...

 2/15 Update  I found my 4th VA! I can't believe I forgot about Gavin. He's totally perfect for the role because he's in theater so he should have a good amount of experience in acting/voice acting. Also, he's currently rehearsing for his role as a newscaster in our school's production of SpongeBob the Musical so this is a perfect time. I texted him last night about it and he was super excited to be a part of my opening.    Gavin                               Newscaster #2                        I'm sending a text to all of my VAs today asking them to practice and then send me some takes of their lines so I could give them feedback before getting the official lines recorded.  I decided not to take Mila up on her offer to give me mics because I would rather the audio be a little rougher sounding since I pl...

 2/14   I need 4 voice actors for my opening. 2 girls which are going to be in the background arguing sporadically throughout the opening and then 2 guys which are going to be the newscasters.  Cristian already agreed to lend his voice to my opening since I'm acting in his.  (Seen here giving the NASTIEST side eye)     Cristian Newscaster #1                                                                                 The same for Ash, I'm also acting in hers.  (Seen here helping me devour 60 dollars worth of dumplings)                   Ash              Girl #1            ...
