Status of Projects

Hello all.
I know a lot of people have been asking a lot of questions lately so I hope this post will answer most of them.

About the New Show
The team has lost momentum as of late. Mostly because we've been having a lot of scheduling conflicts. There's no one day of the week that we can all get together to work on our new show. Also I get the feeling that some folks involved aren't as motivated to work on the show as they used to be. Seeing as my part in the new Anime spoof show and in Zarbon's Masterpiece theater is the most time consuming portion (organizing, editing and animating), I have a lot at stake in the whole thing.

Originally, I was against starting a new show because I knew it would be a huge time commitment for me. But the rest of the cast talked me into it. Now I'm finding they don't have the time to commit to the meetings. And now I'm not as motivated to work on it anymore as the cast hasn't been as excited about it either. So I've been keeping myself busy with more successful projects.

Why not get a new cast?
People have often asked me why I don't just get new cast members that are more willing to commit the time and work. But you people seem to have missed the point entirely. We did not start ZMT and the new anime spoof show because we wanted to create the best online show ever. We just wanted to hang out with our friends and have something cool to do and something cool to create. And truth be told, I think our current cast is very creative and fun to work with. So I'm not open to replacing people unless the group is ok with it.

Zarbon's Masterpiece Theater
There are still two episodes left. The upcoming Brolly episode and then the finale. The Brolly episode is recorded and ready to animate but I don't want to release it until the finale is ready. The reason being is that the Brolly episode is rather short and I don't want to piss people off with releasing a much shorter episode. I think its only like 4 minutes long. Hopefully some time this summer we'll get together to record the finale. We already have an episode outline. We just need to get together to record it and then animate it.

Surviving Together
My painting skills have vastly improved over the past year at my work and I'm fairly confidant that I could do a great job working on Surviving Together. The issue is I have other projects that have been going so successful that I don't feel as motivated to get involved in ST again. I feel like I need to work with someone else on this project so I have someone to bounce wips and sketches off of. I'll likely find someone to work with over at PaperDemon.

As far as what's done, the story was rewritten recently by LavenderGoddessV. And I have to tell you its a HUGE improvement. The screenplay for the first couple episodes is finished. Storyboarding is in progress on episode 1. Once that's complete I can voice record and animate. I'll likely seek a few new cast as some of the major characters have moved away. If Michael Toews is up for it, I'd like to keep him as Vegeta (though he wont sound like Vegetalander from ZMT). I'll need a new Zarbon and Bulma.
