Magician's Nephew - My future project!

Lo And Behold!

Yes, I have started production on episode 3. Its true......I have time on my shoulders as I am not going on holiday this year (however, I am happy to anounce that I have passed my first year at Uni!)

But......I am considering this episode to be complimentary.....and perhaps the last episode. There are mighty big challanges coming up from the novel, but hopefully I will be able to scrape through them!

<SPOILERS> For those who have read the book, I have reached the point where Queen Jadis follows Andrew and 'Aunt Letty' see's Jadis for the first time </SPOILERS>

So, this time, I've actually started! Since this is a complimentary episode, I will do my best using every animation techniques...So I am not going to rush!

Of course, I wouldn't end this post without a screen shot of the third episode! Here is Aunt Letty's first appearance:

Oh, and few points to mention, Episode 3 will use much faster frame-rate. So now, there won't be any speech delays or 'choppy' animation!

PS: If EveningStar is still here, I would very much like if he could take the voice role for Aslan! Of course, I will need to get to that point before I can ask! The third episode might take me 3-4 weeks of course.

Peace to everyone!
 
Hi John! Good to hear from you! I am very much looking forward to sending you the script for Aslan's part in the animation. However, it will take me a couple of weeks to get to that point, of course, I will notify you at the right time.

Take care.

Ali.
 
Well, since im giving 'all I got' in this episode.....I have realised that some scenes require a lot of animation etc.....Hopefully it will all go smoothly!

<Spoilers> I have completed the scenes when Jadis steals 'cabby's' horse, oh and of course, here is a picture of Digory and Polly running 'towards the excited crowd' as stated in the book:

</Spoilers>

More updates coming soon!
 
Aslan!

Well, I've managed to model him. Its not the best, but it will do. I will slowly start the script (and will send it to evening star - casted for Aslan).

I can promise though that episode 3 will have more action scenes! Including faster animation, and much much better sound!

(Sneak preview of Aslan (partial). Notice! You will see him in episode 3!)

More updates coming soon.
 
Remastering the Audio

Just a quick update......Well, as the two previous episodes has had its audio problems (unclear sounds), I have decided to remove both episodes until they are fully remastered.

Over the past year, I have learnt many things in Uni, and sound mixing has been one of them. Therefore, in replacement for the time being, I will add a 'prologue' at the beginning of Episode 3 to summarise the story!

Oh, and episode 3 will definently be a transformation! The voice acting has been three quaters done, aaaaannd there will be major modelling, especially with Queen Jadis.

So then, till then, the episodes will be removed within this week. (Of course, I will let you know if I push the dates back.)
 
If you ever need the voice of a young male who has a distinct Leeds accent but not too common, I know someone who's available!! :D

But seriously, I look forward to the creation scene. I wanna see what you do with it!
 
lol, thats exactly where Im up to. I have already animated that scene, of course, it was at my best capabilities.

Expected release date around 2 weeks from now. I don't want to rush this episode, and also, I would make sure that every word gets heard lol!
 
Update

Well, I have finished the animation, all thats left now is placing the background music etc.

I am happy to announce that it will either be uploaded tomorrow, or day after. I would also like to share that Mage Scribe (John) did a fantastic job on taking the role of Aslan.

Hold on to your seats till then!
 
Delayed

Sorry folks, I actually have the final .avi in front of me. But a last minute decision was made.....Basically the intro of Episode 3 requires a narrator. I have a person who is willing to do it, however, this means the release date could be pushed till Saturday.

Oh, and overall, I have never spent soo much time in animation for episode 3!
 
Final Rendering

Well, I have the final version, however, I have my personal testers to view the episode before I upload it.

I have decided over the past weeks, which uploading hosts I should choose......Unfortunately, google video no longer provide video statistics (which is a big issue), for that reason, the third episode will be released on Youtube in three parts.

Within the next couple of hours, expect the youtube links to slowly appear. STAND BY!
