Currently Writing Sublo season 3 (Patreon)

Figured I should give another little update since things have been quiet here lately. I'm in the middle of writing Sublo and Tangy Mustard season 3! So far I have first drafts completed for about half the episodes. It'll be another big season with a mix of long and short episodes as usual, and probably a few non-Sublo shorts mixed in to experiment with other concepts, characters or visual styles.

Usually we record a whole season's worth of episodes at the same time, in a proper studio, but I'm thinking this time maybe we'll record a handful remotely once the scripts are ready, and hopefully the other half in-person once it's feasible. I'd really rather wait to record them all in-person, but that would delay things further. Most of the cast don't have pro-level recording setups at home and I don't want to compromise the quality. I also worry about the acting being hurt by recording remotely in people's homes, as opposed to in a studio where you can be as big and loud as you want without disturbing roommates and neighbours. I saw a clip from a Bob's Burgers episode recorded remotely recently and I was surprised at how obvious it was that Kristen Schaal's stuff was recorded at home with a lower-quality setup.

At some point soon, once I start actual production, I'm going to switch this Patreon to monthly. I'll announce it when I do, and you're welcome to adjust your pledges accordingly. Right now I only get money per finished cartoon, which means I haven't collected any in the past year since I've been busy focusing on my day job. I think monthly will make more sense when I'll be consistently working on this indie stuff and releasing short pieces regularly.
