Hi Patrons,

Now that October is done and the festivities are over with, we have some time to really hunker down and work through the upcoming weeks of cold weather. The animation is chugging along as usual - we are about 45% done with the animation overall.

The dreamstate/chorus section mentioned in the previous update is nearly done, and it's turning out to be a real showstopper of animation. You'll know what I'm talking about once you see it!

Recently, we've been working on adding some customization to the cubicles, so now we know (almost) all of the characters names and their interests.

We'll also be sneaking in Patron cameos where ever we can during the final polishing phase.

Dramatic Scenes

The next couple weeks will be focused on scenes that add rising tension to the animation. I estimate that by the end of November we'll be working on the final action scenes, which, in order to make it look good, will take a lot of our effort.

But in the meantime, we'll be barreling right through the easier, quiet scenes. We're in the middle of a long stride, and I expect much progress will be made.

Early morning test composition (Cool colors)

Warm Version (I'm going with this one because it has more depth and feels more natural).

Finished Layout - This asset is ready to be sent to background artists. The characters and camera can now animated while the background is being produced.
