Uncertwin!!

Last Tuesday our composer Mr. Uncertain came by to lay down the beats (pictured here with Barbara and also-twin/sound designer John Warrin at Esho Sound). We first met with his incomparable talents whilst performing together in the Velvet Hammer Burlesque troupe. While his ragtime pianoing skills are second to none, he also hit us with some funkadelic bass lines, hearkening back to our days in side project 3-Live Crew...



We were also lucky to get voice over actress, film and tv composer, and multi-instrumentalist / songwriter Ms. Jaye Barnes Luckett in to record as the Toothfairy. Lots more on her here!

Rough Cut Ready!

Woo-hoo! Yippee! Yayayayayyay!! After a week or so of retakes (more thanks to Dave Gerhard and Chris Martin), we finished a rough cut of Twincesses for an upcoming animation festival. It was a real nail-biter, with me and After Effects magician/beloved roomie Michael Jacobson fixing some last-second post-related weirdness before handing it off to Barbara for the Final Cut finish. Besides his AE expertise, Jacobson is a awesomest photographer, not to mention a hero...



For the festival's pre-selection material, we took a quick photo of us three directors Matt Danner, Barbara Ann and me. You'll totally get our adorable reference when you see the show.

Oh golly, I lied again!!

Weeeeell, I wasn't going to post any more art from the show, but I think this background is just a little too wonderful.

It's the coloring genius of 6PH East's Nick Lakiotes and Jason Aston -- pictured here warming their hands, snout and gin-blossomed nose. (Click for larger view.)

Twincessant toilings.

Including today, I've spent what feels like a 396 hour week finalizing animation and comping the exported Flash scenes into After Effects with their backgrounds and camera moves. I'm so tired. But I love our show.

I love our show because the animators put so much specialness into it. The little touches. The additions. The sheer toothitude.

Monday, Barbara's putting all 97 scenes back into Final Cut and we will take our first look at the entire thing, beginning to end. She's been doing her own toiling, over the twintastic opening title sequence which she personally created all by a slef.

And soon - post production. But now, a shot of tequila.

P.S. Sorry no images for a while. Like us, you'll want nothing but the finished product.
