Progress Post September 2024

Le progress post of le septembre de 2024

First of all, the LOVEWEB stuff. The script is STILL ALMOST DONE. Not that nothing happened this month with it, there's just been a lot of rewriting here and expanding on stuff. I've been getting some great help from my boyfriend Elliot and my friend Karru for this. I've sent the script to a couple Wikipedia experts to proof-read it too, to make sure there's nothing factually wrong in it. In the meantime, I've also been working on storyboarding and creating assets for the episode. Once the script is done and finalized, it'll be faster to finish the other parts of the LOVEWEB pipeline.

Also I've discovered that in all previous episodes, the parts showing Manon's computer have been rendered with the WRONG colors.

The joy of using old outdated softwares. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to something better.
Also yes I saw the typo, I'm not corecting it.

I'm still in the process of posting clips online, Tiktok is stinky and doesn't allow scheduling videos for more than 10 days. I'm also using Instagram again and posting my stuff on there, because social media marketing. Despite LOVEWEB clips getting hundreds of thousands of views on Tiktok, it doesn't seem like it's translating to more views on Youtube, oh well. At least I'm building an audience over there to advertise future episodes on.

When it comes to other projects, I tried making something for Undertale's birthday but I REALLY didn't feel like it. Forcing content out that I'm not passionate about is really hard for me. When I have no energy for something, it's a huge pain to do anything. Meanwhile yesterday I sat on my bed and wrote an entire Steven Universe video lol. It might be a good idea to also publish videos where I ramble about things if i don't feel like making a 30 second animation. I've done it before a couple times but I always get really critical of content involving myself so they always end up getting deleted a couple months later. But it's one of those things I'll only get confident at making the more I do it. I also don't like the idea of people being emotionally invested in me as a person instead of my art but it feels inevitable AND has already happened so yeah.

Hopefully next month is the month where the WIkipedia episode's script and storyboard is done and it'll be done and ready for around november. Afterward the next episode might be the "numa numa" one I've mentioned a couple times. It just needs to be trimmed down so it doesn't blow up to be like, 30 minutes. And I've already sunk a ton of time researching it and the script for it is halfway done. I might even work on completing its script if I'm in a situation where i can't work anymore on the Wikipedia episode and I'm waiting for other stuff to be done (proof-reading/voice acting)
