What it do, bitches??
A lot's been accomplished this week.
No, but like actually though.
STOP LAUGHING!!! I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL STAB YOU IN THE EYES!!!
*Cough*
Anyhoo...
First off, we got our first draft SAOA Episode 12 done. It's a little on the shorter side so we're still deciding whether we wanna combine it with the next episode or to make that episode 13.
As for My Hero Academia Abridged, recording is well underway and editing has begun. It's happenin...
Yo, what it do mah dudes!!!!!!!!!!
Bubblemunky here with the weekly update.
This week has been super productive, almost all of Deku’s lines are done (with only minimal heat exhaustion) which means I can get to work on editing My Hero.
We also got several pages of SAOA written. Don’t wanna spoil anything, but there are some pretty solid semen jokes in there. Classy stuff, I assure you.
We’re all working our butts off as usual, sweating a lot more cause, ya know, the enti...

Izzy here with another weekly update for ya!
Recording for MHAA has been going extremely well, and once we get my Deku lines recorded this Tuesday (plus a few other small characters), we should be able to start editing the opening scene!
As for SAOA, we've been making great progress on the script, and I think we've got our opening scene pretty much nailed! We're trying to be very careful, since a lot of what we want to do won't exactly fit the footage. This way, we'll ho...
2017-08-01 02:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody,
Izzy here. We've been making a ton of progress on both of our shows this week!
Our casting for MHAA is finished (except for one extremely important character that we're kind of agonizing over), and we've already been able to get about six characters recorded already.
As for SAOA, we've had some bursts of inspiration this week regarding the main story arc of Alfheim that we're super excited about. I don't want to spoil anything, but I think we're gonna be able t...

We've been busy as butts this week, we've auditioned everyone we wanted for My Hero, All 20 of em to be exact, except for 2 peeps (they're pretty big parts sooooo) and they're kinda dead or busy I don't remember their bitch ass excuse. Aside from those parts we've pretty much made our decisions for the core cast.
It was also FrozenFrosts birthday and we saw The Spiderman, but that's neither here nor there.

2017-07-17 22:46:08 +0000 UTC View PostHello everybody, We've had a very productive week auditioning some very talented actors for MHAA! We've still got a few actors left to meet with, but this week alone we've been able to audition about half of them. Based on what we've seen so far, we're getting really excited about what they can bring to these characters. We're aiming to finish auditions this week, but that will depend on our actors' schedules. That's all we have to report for now, but like always, we'll be back with more info ne...
2017-07-09 23:41:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, Dizzasta here with a short update on our progress.
We've completed our list of voice actors we want to audition for My Hero Academia Abridged, so we'll begin auditions this week. Other than that, we've mostly been touching up the first draft of the script, making sure punchlines hit and cleaning out excess/unnecessary dialogue.
Also on a personal note, Canada welcomes its favorite scotswoman, xbubblemunkyx, as its newest resident. We're really excited to see her set...

The script for My Hero Academia Episode 1 is complete!!
We finalized the draft this week and are having our first table read on Tuesday. From there, we will begin recording so that xbubblemunkyx can dive into the editing process. Which will be lovely considering that she's also moving up to Canada with the rest of Something Witty Entertainment and ProjectMouthwash in two days! Also I ...
2017-06-26 23:04:54 +0000 UTC View PostGood day everyone! Dizzasta once again with a quick update for all of you. The script for Episode 1 of My Hero Academia Abridged is looking very close to completion! Hopefully this upcoming week of scripting will be enough to finish off the draft we need so we can get to voices.
In other news, some big life changes might be happening very soon. We can't really give you all the details yet. But we've been playing with the idea of starting (sort of) an Abridgers housing complex. Basically,...
2017-06-19 05:59:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello everybody, Dizzasta with this week's update.
My Hero Academia Abridged is nearing script completion. More work is still required before we can put out our pilot episode and we appreciate your patience in waiting for a new episode, let alone a whole new series. That being said...
Now a lot of you have been asking about the status of Sword Art Online Abridged Season2, so I'd like to take a moment to address the elephant in the room here. Rest assured, SAO Abridged is continuing where...
2017-06-13 00:35:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, Dizzasta giving you all a quick progress report:
So far, so good. Episode 1 of My Hero Academia Abridged is coming along very smoothly. We've been able to accelerate our scripting pace lately to a comfortable rhythm. And outside of an occasional speed bump due to scheduling, we're about to hit a major breakthrough on this first episode.
Outside of that, we're sticking to our usual routine of once a week streams every Friday. We're also experimenting with some other stream...
2017-06-06 02:16:13 +0000 UTC View PostHow's it going everybody? Dizzasta here for an end of the month update.
Scripting for My Hero Academia Abridged has been going at it's usual pace. Though we continue to shape the world of our story, important scenes throughout episode 1 have begun to fall into place and the general direction of the narrative is forming. Granted, this doesn't mean we are finished writing the first episode. For that, I do apologize. But there's still a lot more writing to be done.
Good news regarding...

Scripting is going quite nicely for episode 1 of My Hero Academia Abridged. We really want this episode to start strong and the writing is beginning to reflect that, as we break down the walls of writer's block. I wish we could tell you some of the stuff we've come up with. So far,...

So glad to have everybody back home from Sakura-Con. It's been a busy couple of weeks and it's been great to get back to work.
It's mostly been a lot of world-building for "My Hero Academia Abridged"; making sure we have all of our bases covered as we prep for going into a new project.
We did manage to choose a song and create a rough-cut for the intro to SAO Abridged Season 2. Here's the current draft of the new...

I'd just like to say thank you to everyone of our current and recent Patrons for showing your support to our group.

Oh my god. I can't believe it's actually finished! I feel like I've been editing this thing for years! Thanks again to everyone who's been so patient with us. We know this episode took a lot longer than usual to make, but we really wanted this finale to be special, and we're so grateful that you guys put up with us. Anyway, I'm gonna go pack for Anime Boston, and hope you guys enjoy the episode. :)

2017-03-29 21:53:49 +0000 UTC View PostFUCK FORMALITIES!! THE EPISODE IS DONE!!
In honor of our 4 year anniversary, we will be giving our season finale an early release tomorrow on Patreon, prior to a full launch premiere during our panel at Anime Boston this Friday. This means Episode 11 will go live on YouTube sometime after 9pm EST. This way, everyone gets a chance to prep themselves for the release in advance so we can all enjoy it together before YouTube inevitably takes it down!

2017-03-29 04:15:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody! Dizzasta here for the last update before Anime Boston!
Production is going well. YamatoSFX is almost done with the episode and it should be ready in time for our deadline. The lip flaps are finished. The sound effects will be done tonight. As for music, that should be completed in the next day or two.
On the subject of our Anime Boston promo, xbubblemunkyx is hard at work on getting it ready for the con. That should done in the next few days, so look forward to that!...

Things are steamrolling right along here at SWE and it feels like we're closing in on the last leg of production for episode 11. Hopefully we'll have the episode completed by March 29th (The four year anniversary of our series premiere!).
By the end of today, Izzy should have every scene up until the very last one lip flapped. That's roughly 22-23 minutes of lip flapped footage. In all likelyhood, by tomorrow, we can begin sel...

We had a bit of a roller coaster week here at Something Witty Entertainment. We started off riding high when YamatoSFX and Hayabusa449 received the LAST OF THE LINES needed to complete our season finale.... then disaster struck. A simple maintenance update created a whole host of problems ranging from a bricked backup drive... to the repeated crashing of Yamato's editing computer.

2017-03-06 05:37:15 +0000 UTC View PostLast update of February! This is Dizzasta once again tellin' it like it is.
Editing. So after laying roughly 18-ish minutes of footage, Yamato has started going back to place additional layers of character lip flaps and visual edits. Mainly the repetitive, boring stuff. ISN'T EDITING A JOY?
Yeah, there's not really much else to report... this is the part of episode production where things get tedious and exhausting.
Wish I had more to report. Please don't hurt me.
Hey guys, Dizzasta here with the weekly update.
As of today, YamatoSFX has edited over 19 minutes of the new episode. This puts us on roughly page 24 of our 37 page script. Still quite a lot of ground to cover.
Also we've begun pre-production on both the Alfhiem arc of Sword Art Online Abridged and our pilot episode for our second abridged series, My Hero Academia Abridged. More information on that as it comes. But right now, our main focus is getting the rest of Season 1 of SAOA c...
2017-02-20 04:39:50 +0000 UTC View PostWeekly Update time with Dizzasta!
Hey guys, not a whole lot going on this week. Mostly YamatoSFX editing the new episode. We're about seven minutes in, mainly focusing on audio groundwork and special effect shots. Also a lot of facial redrawing needs to be done for this episode in order to convey the tone we're trying to take with our season finale.
Unfortunately, that's all we have for you guys this week. Stay tuned for more info!

Dizzasta here! Got another update for you!
Things are getting off the ground here at SWE. Almost all of the dialogue is in for Episode 11 save for a couple of one character's lines. However, that hasn't stopped YamatoSFX from editing the episode anyway. Obviously, we can't finish the season finale until ALL the lines are done, but we can at least get our first preview clip underway.
