Delay D:

Sorry folks. Due to some unexpected business that has come up this week, there'll be no new Sapopera episode today. Most likely it'll go live tomorrow evening.

Toodles!

Part Deux

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I've been delayed! Anyway, it's still weekend, so you guys have nothing to complain about. Here it is: Sapopera - episode 2!

Why is it so late? Well, actually it's quite early, if you take into consideration that until last Thursday I didn't have any backgrounds to work with. You know, Caroline makes them, and as she also has non-Sapopera-related business to attend to, stuff arrived a tad later than usual. So here I was last Friday (and Saturday morning) photographing like mad, hoping to keep you guys somewhat happy. That's also why there haven't been any spoiler pics and whatnot this week, I was too busy actually making the episode to be able to show off with some bonus material. I'll make up for it, I promise!

Speaking of Caroline and her non-Sapopera-related business; this will be the last episode with backgrounds ENTIRELY made by her. She's got this idea for her Exam Project, and as she's gonna do it alone, she wants to spend as much time as she can spare on said project. Which means from now on I'm entirely on my own. *Sigh*

In my opinion it's a real loss, seeing as Caroline always gave the backgrounds that cute-ish touch that I simply... lack. Ah well, Exam Projects are far more important than free-for-all-to-watch-soapseries-about-fruit, so yeah. Then so be it. Anyway, Sapopera will continue to be aired weekly, at least for this month, so be sure to come back, and keep hitting those F5-buttons on the Saturdays!

Live and kicking!

So yeah!
Here's to celebrate that Sapopera is henceforth officially part of the interwebz! Check it out below!




There are a few things I´m unhappy about, like the very shocky end, but that´s probably just me being a bit sour after a week´s hard labour to get this off the ground. Ah well, one can see what´s happening and what´s happening looks pretty fun. I´m certainly gonna make a second episode, so see you all next weekend!

Yet another Sapopera update! (and some spoilers...)

'Cause stuff is getting real. And fast too! Today I spent like the whole afternoon photographing fruit. With some amazing results! See below for my current working place and a few spoiler pics. Oh, and be a dear and go and say hi to Caroline for the amazing background art she provided. She totally deserves it!



Isn't that the cutest banana ever?

Seems like everyone is in tears these days...

Wow, are you looking grumpy at your wedding!

Well that concludes it for today folks! See you this weekend when we go live!

Castpics!

Couldn't wait until the weekend, eh? Don't worry, neither could I. So here it is, two photos of the entire Sapopera cast! A real shame it was already dark when I finished... Ah well, you can see what's on them. The series will be shot at daytime, so no worries about weird yellow light and all.

The sheet of paper on the background of the second picture is one of the two sheets from which I've been cutting eyes and mouths. As you can see there's a lot of paper left. That will probably all be used for the many expressions of our cast. It's a soap after all.

The grapes really hate me, by the way. Whatever I try, those eyes and mouth's won't stay put! Am I glad they are among the main cast characters with the shortest roles...

Backgrounds!

Or something like that. Anyway, I promised sketches, so here they are!



It's still pretty crude and all, but it's only to give Caroline an idea of what to put on the backgrounds. Oh, yeah, she's my awesome background artist, didn't you know?
Next week I'll be making eyes and all for them characters. Which means I'll probably have a sweet cast-picture to show you guys by next weekend. Yay! At last stuff's getting real! Huzzah!

And there was a script...

Sapopera NewsFlash: I'm done writing the script. All the voice actors have been sent a copy and we'll start recording as soon as possible!

Yes, I know there's been some time between posts. I've had some trouble finding a company for my second term of internship, but all's fine now. More on that later.

Anyway, we were talking Sapopera. Production will start pretty soon. Before the weekend I'll put some sketches for the backgrounds on and soon after that the first cast picture will follow.

We sweaaarssssssssssssss...

~ Sorry. Shouldn't have watched The Two Towers Extended Edition earlier this week. Ever since it's been Gollum all over the place... ~

Stay tuned!
