Phew.
About ten minutes ago, I placed the final keyframe for the second episode of Your Face is a Saxophone. I am too exhausted to pick out some kind of image with which to illustrate this occasion.
Left to do:
- Rendering
- Commercials
- Editing
- Sound editing
All of this will need to be done by October 12th, as I’m screening the episode on October 14th at FurFright. At the very least, it will be a rough cut. I’m hoping that I can make it final in time.
That’ll be the first semi-public showing. For the first public premiere, I’m going to look into screening it at Occupy Wall Street sometime after the weekend of FurFright.
There are some fundraising- and promotion-related things I need to do before the episode will be online. This will be on, um, oh, what the hell…

There. Okay. Ugh. I need something extremely alcoholic right now. Brb drunk.
Principal animation of Your Face is a Saxophone Episode 2 is almost halfway finished. My lovely assistant, Erica Frohnhoefer, had to go back to college this week, so I’ll be on my own from here on. But I’ve got a good bit of momentum going, and the episode should be online by the end of October, or the beginning of November at the latest.
Just wanted to post this since things have been quiet for a while. I haven’t had as much time to produce video diaries as I’d have liked, but a few weeks ago David Lanz was down on Long Island shooting some footage of us working, so there’s some material ready to be edited into one as soon as I get the opportunity.
I’ll be taking a bit of a break from animation from August 28th to September 3rd, as I’ll be in Washington, DC helping to document the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline protest. It’s okay, though, because it’s for the environment and stuff.
UPDATE: Actually, I won’t be in Washington. Hurricane Irene screwed up my travel plans.
It was hot out. Our Macs weren’t quite able to cope. So we put ice packs on them.
You see that picture? That’s the result of me not thinking ahead.
See, today, Raye Gestwick — the voice of Leora in Your Face is a Saxophone — came to my bedroom recording studio to record her lines for Episode 2. Had I been thinking, I would have had the bright idea to take a photo of her actually standing at the microphone, delivering her lines. But I didn’t, so now all I have is the microphone stand still set up, the mixer still sitting on top of my laundry hamper, after she’d wrapped up and left.
But anyway, now that we have Raye’s lines, Episode 2′s dialogue is completely recorded, and we’re now free to animate every single scene. Animation’s going a bit slower this week because Erica Frohnhoefer, my other animator, is out of town, but it’s still progressing.
