As I'm getting closer to starting animation on the film I figured I should start the production diary. I have broken the 101 page script into nine 10-12 page segments that I treat as individual sequences to be produced separately. I'm treating the film as if it were nine short films. I just finished storyboarding the first 11 page sequence- this sequence is 195 shots. Here's a look at some of my crappy storyboards that I promise will be epic when animated and all that ^_^ My plan is to do one sequence a month- so I'll be able to finish animation in 9 months. Sequence 1 is 195 shots- so to complete that in a month I'll need to animate 7 shots per day- entirely doable given my past output- I really want to finish by the end of the year so I'll shoot for a quota of 10 shots a day for the entire production. Right now the voice actors are recording their lines- as soon as I get those back I will start animating- their due date is the second week
