Death's Curtain ep2 and other stuff

Hello peoples!

Well I wish I could have had episode 2 of Death's Curtain released by now, but you know how life can keep you from doing things you wanna do eh?
Well the good news is I'm working hard on episode 2 and it will be out soonish. I refuse to rush myself, I want it to be good.
Included another preview pic!

Also I'm going to release an updated version of episode one with biggy screen support with improved quality and tweaks here and there to make it better!

I'd also like to address Information about Dead Rain, because I keep getting asked the same things about it.

No there will not be an episode 6, and No I'm no abandoning the series either.

The reason for no episode 6 is because the series was my starting point in learning to animate, draw on the computer ect. and it has aged rather bady. So instead I would like to completely Remake the series from the ground up.

I have had the 5 arc story of Dead Rain in my head for years and years and I'd love to get it out there. But 5 arcs is huge. I've changed my mind about doing it many times, even thought of making it a graphic novel series at one point!

But Animation is probably the way to go I'm thinking. What do you think?

Either way I'd like to focus on one series at a time. Death's Curtain is fresher in my mind so it makes since to me to focus on that 100% and get it done, and get it done in a decent pace. no more 2 years between episodes yeesh ;(

Ps: Death's Curtain ep.2 is going to be pretty long. Do you think 20 minutes is to long for an episode? feedback is appreciated :)

yeah...
cut it into 2 or 3 parts.

I'd say it comes down to the file size. If it's a really big file, then halve it so that the wait isn't unbearable.

If not, keep it together.

Either way, I'm looking forward to it :3

WOW 20 MINUTES?! Thats amazing!

Starogre 2009-05-30 17:53:26

20 minutes isn't too long for an episode. most tv episodes are 20 minutes. just tell people to make some popcorn beforehand and make sure to include a pause button.

also, animation is the way to go :)

Shot-Calla 2009-05-30 17:58:15

I would do it all at once

destructin 2009-05-30 18:30:27

What the fuck 20 minutes!?!

Well, if the filesize is too big cut it into parts, like Lazymuffin did with nameless.

SickDeathFiend 2009-05-30 18:30:27

Thing is its one of those movies that suffers from being split up. I feel like it needs to be together as one coherent piece, I can't really explain in detail without giving it away though. But At the same time I don't want the length to scare people away from watching it.
file size will be big to or course and I realise not everyone has fast connections.. tough choice.

Nice, looking forward to it. It's been a while since I've seen anything new from you.

Good luck.

So long as there is scene selection it'll be fine.

SickDeathFiend 2009-05-30 22:11:49

yeah definitely

DroidTronProductions 2009-05-30 22:44:43

what the hell happened to your site man?

FleshSiren 2009-05-31 00:46:19

Hey SDF:
Where can I get goggles like those?

Joel8160 2009-05-31 10:51:54

20 mins for a flash movie?
I don't hink it sounds bad, but the time when the movie has loaded might take some time. But to put in in parts like: Death's Curtain ep.2 part 1 and 2 and so on would take more time then putting the whole thing together. So I suggest putting the second episode all in one.

And don't rush on your flash movies either, it messes things up really bad.

PS: Love the preview pic!! >:)>

Wow man it's been forever. I just glanced at NG randomly. It seems like the main artists are moving on now.

I think you should split it into two separate episodes. I hate the "Episode 2: Part 1" kind of format.

20 minutes may be a little long for some people but I'm happy with that. It's just best to set out a shit ton of warnings. I mean, there was an old cartoon that was legendary due to how long it as (about half an hour) and that turned out fine.

Khonjin 2009-05-31 16:22:05

If it's something that you absolutley want perfect, keep it all in one. You may lose a few viewers, but I'd rather have a movie the way I want it, rather than make it different for someone else's convinience.

BigBrother91 2009-05-31 18:12:25

20 minutes does sound rather long but eh, what the hell, why not? I can force myself to watch it.

fallenangelnathaniel 2009-06-01 15:45:46

tell the truth, been a big fan for a long time, but thought you weren't making anything else, let alone something that had to do with that cool ass preview I saw a long time ago in the scary collab (er something like that). I've checked out everything of yours and am excited to see there will be more. I am very pleased.

Sebnation 2009-06-02 14:27:43

I mostly look forward to Dead Rain, I love your zombie design skills, I wanna learn! Make a tutorial dammit! :D

SerialKillerX 2009-06-12 20:01:24

Nah, 20 minutes is perfect. Btw, is that pic from Death's Curtain ep2 or something? And what exactly do you mean by "soonish?" A couple weeks? A few days? Sorry if I sound impatient, I'm not. It's just that I've waited about a year now for it to come out, since I saw the first in 2008.

SickDeathFiend 2009-06-12 20:01:24

yes it is.
If all goes to plan I'm hoping by the end of this month.
