Production Blog: Halo Turnarounds Done! + weapons (Patreon)

I finished up all the designs needed for the Halo 2 parody! Everything we'll need to build animation assets quick once the time comes. Now for some updates on sheriff fox guy!

Bisque continues building the final Hayseed rigs. I've been so happy with the work, I figured I should have him build all my puppets for now and see how it goes. His experience in Harmony far surpasses mine. Likewise, once he's done, I plan to have him hop onto building the rigs for Halo parody. 

Elsewhere, Jess continues visualizing the Sheriff's Department

Those aren't the right versions of Todd and Shawn's designs but don't worry about that

GhostAnjo got in to record her lines for the short! Over an hour of takes just to be safe

(did i ever mention we have a sick ass recording booth?)

Lastly, I have one thing to mention. You know what's better than 2 projects being made at the same time? How about THREE? The Sheriff Hayseed rig overhaul is going to take like... 3 weeks and that's hella time. Longer than I thought, but Ben suddenly dropped me a solution.

This script is under 3 pages long and can be animated with nearly all pre-existing assets. Me and Zach recorded it just earlier today. I have to edit down the new voice takes for hayseed but, after which, I can make a quick storyboard and send it to animators very quickly. Sheriff Hayseed: Swindling Simpletons has grown to about 7 and a half minutes long, so a small video can easily be animated during all the prep-work. I'm thinking of it as a spiritual Skim Milk 2. It's not a big or adventurous project but I think it's funny as hell and can be made very quickly, so I'm jumpin on this bad boy.

That's all for now. More things later
