Currently Storyboarding:Chapter 1, Scene VI
Artist's Status: PANIC
Okay, so it's been awhile. A long while. I apoligize....but now there is a disaster and the whole futre of this project has been thrown into Jeopardy once more. ANDNOBEFOREYOUASKIDIDNOTFINISHTHESCRIPT!!!!
I'm storyboarding chapter one and everything is going great till I do a page count...I'm currently on page 70. 70...in Chapter one...granted, the first 8 pages are prolouge, so chapter one is really only sixty some pages at the moment. But still, this is about twice the length that I had origianlly thought. Chapter one is not the longest part of the script either. So what I had originally thought to be a 150-200 page graphic novel is now completly out of control. The thing is, that it doesn't FEEL long when reading it. One of my friends said that the pacing was fast enough to not make it feel long. This is terrible...
Looks like I gotta totally scrap chapter one and figure out something else...I got an idea, which invovles getting rid of the smugglers in chapter one and merging in parts of chapter two...but it's very complicated...ack.

Somehow, Work is Getting Done. Honest!
Currently Scripting: Chapter 4, Scene 3
Storyboards: Chapter 1 Scene 2
Status: Relaxed
First of all, I like Romanian pop music too much. Way too much. Remember that internet fad, the Numa-numa song? It's actually "Dragostea din Tei" by Moldovian/Romanian pop group O-ZONE. Now I'm really into a group called Akcent. I've gotten two of their albums already and I just love it. Oh Romanian...your music is so good.
In other news, after a few decisions that had to be made, I am going home for the summer. Hopefully, this will be condusive to honor thesis work. Though I probably won't be able to do many color illustrations, because bringing my water colors home will be a pain. Hmmm...but I'm almost finished with the chaper 1 scene 2 storyboards. Yay! It's not looking too bad so far either! Now if only I could find my thesis director...she's an associate dean of students at my school in addition to being a professor, so she gets really busy. But I have to fill out this learning agreement for the thesis by Week 10 and we're going on Week 7! AH!
Just as I predicted, once I started work on the storyboards, work on the script stopped. Whoops. I'll at least try and finish chapter 4 soon!
Also, I'm working on my proposal for an art show at school next year, which will feature works from Akari and will highlight the creative process. I'm so excited for it! I'm alredy deciding what food to serve!
May is a fantatic month. Not only is it warm out and there are lilacs, but there is (at least this month), The Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, Monaco next weekend, and the Eurovision Song Contest after that! It doesn't get any better than this... ^_^

Now We're Making Progress...After A Month of No Progress...
Currently Scripting: Chapter 4 Scene 3
Storyboarding: Prolouge
Production Sketches: Started
Status: Slight Panic with a side of HELL YEAH!
Hey everyone. Long time no see. Eh heh heh...
Well, remember when I said I wanted to have the script finished by Spring break? See how I'm only in Chapter 4 still? ( In my defense, Scene 1 is very long and action packed!) Well, a lot of things began to happen, and then my Grandpa passed so I lost motivation to work. But now I have it back. Why?
Because, against what I originally promsied myself, that I would NOT start the storyboards until the scrpit was finished because I knew that I'd only want to work on the story boards once I started them and would ignore the script until I ran out of script to board...I did it anyway. I wanted to have some storyboards to show my potential (and now OFFICIAL Almost) thesis director! I feel severly awesome right now because I have a thesis director, and it's only one of the greatest intelectuals on our campus! I am so thrilled. She does more of the academic side of graphic novels, but her insight is too valuble to pass up. And she's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!! I am outrageously excited.
Did you also know it's Formula One season? Just a side note, since I am a tifosi (Ferrari fan) and an F1 nut. Tee hee...
And now to reveal the names of the six main characters. Their profiles will be coming soon for you enjoyment, so you'll actually know what I'm talking about.
Akari Saito
Takaharu Shidomi
Junko Arada
Yukina Tachibana
Katsuaki Yamada
Kagehito Yamada
Next time, I'll talk about the setting of the story, Inaka City. Farewell for now!
