Dungeons and Dragons cartoon - Update #2

Added 2017-05-03 18:47:36 +0000 UTC

Good evening Patrons. So it's day 8 on the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. And I've finished about 15 out of 25 minutes.

The remaining 10 minutes I'm somewhat struggling with, as these were the areas where the action bogged down a bit. With semi-frequent rule re-explanations and everybody taking 5 minutes to complete their turn. I need to try and focus on that to make it fit with the rest.

While my focus is primarily on audio cutting, what I'm also doing at the same time is making a crudely animated cartoon to go alongside it that looks like someone a child made in MS Paint. The intention here is purely pre-visualization. So when I hand it over to a cartoonist somewhere they'll have an idea of what I had imagined. I'll also include lots of annotated notes to assist the animator.

Spoiler alert, this is that crude cartoon for the first couple of minutes. Some of you may wish to wait until the cartoon is done properly. It's up to you: https://youtu.be/w5rmYCrV3VM

This project is a lot of fun actually! Rather than tedious animating words, I'm having a laugh drawing all the individual characters performing their silly actions, fighting goblins, adding foley, that sort of thing. At the going rate, by the end of the week I'll probably be 22-23 minutes done. And next week I'll be focusing entirely on polish, annotations and general pacing.

As always, thank you very much for your continued Patreon support, while I doodle like a five year old.
