Update

So my LZ short was canceled due to an IP dispute. Apparently David Weber does not allow any fanfiction in his IP universe. So I have permanently shelved this project.

I have a new set of projects (two to be exact).
1 - is a revamp of my demo reel to have sort of a tie-in theme to carry over between shots. I plan to make The ball lift my first shot, then have the ball fall off the pedestal and roll off a cliff to bounce and roll into a sleep Krag, who will wake up grumpily and procede to take out his frustration on the ball. From there I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll introduce a new character (maybe I'll finally reveal Chug?).

2 - I have a series of action-based animated shorts planned. The series is called "A to B" (or maybe "A2B"). Once I have the first environment built and a blocked in character, I'll be able to tell the amount of time needed per animation. Hopefully these will help entice investors to fund my studio and projects.

I have gotten a little more involved in detailing out the game ideas I have. I have gotten used to carrying around a little notebook that I am writing out first draft concept documents. So far I am transcribing the notes of two RTS games into concept form. Harder to do than I remember. Maybe I should find that template from college...
