2021 hasn't gone according to plan as there has been many setbacks due to technical issues, complications, personal matters and taking on more projects than intended and I've had to do a lot to try and get back on coarse with the original plan.
I've stepped down from leading role of Obscured Gaming and I'm handing that over to Charles so now he is fully in charge of the direction of the channel, what will be recorded and uploaded at what times but I do still plan to be a part of it. I will no longer be editing and uploading to the channel but I do not mind joining recordings or doing reviews and streams for the channel.
So now I am only responsible for Obscured Cartoons, What's Good Baby? Podcast and Siin TV and this is a good thing because Siin TV is naturally growing on it's own and is an easy channel to manage so it involves less of my attention and let's me focus more on my original projects.
I have a few side projects to finish for other collaborators and once that is finished then I can begin focusing on my animations and comics again and I'm excited to do it soon because I've noticed that I'm a bit rusty and lazy with both these days but I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of things.
I have hired a new editor but I'm currently training her on how to edit audio and video but the plan is to have her edit for the podcast and for Obscured Gaming that way I'm not fully leaving Charles on his own and fully overwhelmed with editing and so I don't have to work so hard on the podcast anymore and can just record and upload it and that should make things easier for me.
-Project Updates-
Animations
I've decided to start back from square one and ditch the red screen as chormakeying has proven to be too hard and takes up too much time so now I have decided to order miniature sets and this will help things feel more realistic and natural as the environments are in the same shot with the characters at real time and means they can interact with the environment now. I have my Co-Producer Kevin helping me put these sets together so he has now earned the role props and set designer.
The animations will pick back up when I get these sets finished and I expect them to start back up and to be released either January or February of 2022.
Comics
I honestly haven't been working on comics lately as I have been too busy with taking on other projects here and there and before I do start back up on them I need to do sketches and just draw for a while to get that muscle memory back because I am a bit rusty these days. I've narrowed it down to one Graphic Novel of my choosing to start with and one web comic and once the Graphic Novel is done i'll start working on another one.
Podcast
We know we haven't been on top of this project and it's honestly on the end of our list of responsibilities at the moment due to all the projects we are working on but we do plan to pick it back up and have our new editor edit them and after episode 20 we may change the format of the show.
Well that's all the updates I have for now, please stay patient and we'll see you soon.
