S02.EP01 - BEFORE/AFTER.

We know what some of you might be thinking... "Lots of stills... where's the animation??"

Patience guys, patience! Animated scenes are on the way.

There are many things to define in the process, including what you are seeing here. The atmosphere.

This is something we usually define in the parallel post-production process, which consists of testing final cuts on the finished scenes. Although this may vary in the final cut of the episode.

Such a difference...

What is the budget for an episode?

This is a question we have been asked several times.

Actually, there are many factors that make the budget higher or lower for each episode:

• Number of scenes.

• Number of backgrounds.

• Number of score tracks.

• Number of actors involved and their screen time.

  But if we had to do an average number, we would say that each episode budget is around $5,000.

  Making a quick comparison, so that you are aware of w...

The Darklady Adventures - Weekly Fun Fact!

TODAY'S FUN FACT: Backgrounds.

• To the keen and analytical eye, you may have noticed that starting with Episode 5 - Part 2, the backgrounds started to look a bit different and more coherent.

• This is because from Episode 1 to Episode 5 - Part 1, we didn't have a background designer.

• So all the backgrounds seen in those episodes are royalty free images.

• That's why sometimes it crosses our minds to do remasters of those 5...

Friday Post!

For this Friday Post we only have this frame of a scene that will be ready next week.

We're still planting the layouts, that's why we haven't fully started with the animation yet.

Yet, we didn't want to stop sharing at least yesterday's scene and part of this one, which is still unfinished.

MAY ALL HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!

TDA - S02.EP1 - One scene.

As we said, there was going to be new material by the end of this week.

Sharing the daily production process of the next episode has begun!

The delivery of scenes this time will be completely chaotic and almost without chronological order! But on the one hand that's a good way to maintain the suspense, don't you think?

READY FOR A NEW RIDE??

As we said, we are still analyzing whether to split it into 2 episodes or not, since the approximate duration is 20 minutes.

SEASON 2 - INFO!

What's up, guys??

The animatic for the first episode of Season 2 is almost ready! It is very likely that by the end of next week we will be able to start sharing new material! The problem we are facing is that the approximate duration of the episode is 20 minutes! However, we are considering the idea of ​​splitting it into 2 episodes. Which we will probably decide when we see the production pace.

A FEW IMPORTANT MATTERS TO HIGHLIGHT:

• As we ha...

... Sweet Pea animation style.

This one is an important issue for us and your opinion is extremely important for that matter.

• As the different episodes of the Darklady series went by, it's obvious that our animation style was changing. At first it was more limited and less sophisticated. But you could say that from the third and fourth episodes onwards, we were making smoother animations.

• The first option, of course, means less work time and faster deliveries.

• The second option, ...

Fan Art - Darklady's Magic, The Gathering.

Once again, one of our oldest followers (Dr. Moon) has done this fun work mixing The Darklady Adventures with Magic cards. He did this a while ago now, but we decided to wait for the release of the last episode to share it with you, to avoid spoilers.

Thanks so much Dr. Moon for this fun work!

And we encourage all of you to make and share fan art as well!

NEWS - PRE PRODUCTION.

Most of you already know this, but we have a bunch of new subscribers, so it doesn't hurt a reminder.

Every time we release an episode, we almost immediately start working on the next one.

The pre-production process is as follows: 

• First, we break down the script to sketch out all the scenes that the episode will contain.

• Once all the scenes are sketched, we group them into an Animatic, where we insert the dialogues and define ...

The Darklady Adventures - Weekly Fun Fact!

TODAY'S FUN FACT: Episode 8, bottle of water.

• When Darklady meets Dr. Ginger in the lab, she drinks a bit of water from a blue bottle.
  
• This action wasn't scripted.
  
• When Scarlet was recording vocals, she actually drank water without pausing the recording.
  
• Obviously, the sound remained in the original recording, so we thought it was a good idea to add a bottle of water to Darklady's hand and animate her...
