Something to post, something to post.

Nothing to really post about... which I guess is as relevant as 99% of the other blogs out here. I've been keeping myself busy, which is why I haven't encoded any more videos, mostly with writing. And procrastinating on the writing, I prefer telling stories rather than writing them down.

I've also been trying to settle on the main two characters names. That mostly consists of finding a cool name, definitely Japanese because of the style of the animation this time around, and then googling it to see what other animators have used it and what their characters are like. The last thing I want is to appear to be ripping-off some long standing successful character and have that characters personality eclipse my characters.

So, having decided upon the names I need to ask some of my Japanese friends what they think of the innate characteristics of the name, you know, some names have connotations all of their own. Look at the name Richard, 95% of characters named Richard in film tend to be sleaze-ball-baddies, the other 5% are Richard the Lion Heart. That may seem silly, the characters are who they are based on the actors and the direction, but who wants to make a romantic film and then have the Japanese audience be like 'I didn't like that cause all blah-blah's tend to be sleazy not romantic'.

So, that's pretty much where I at; playing, playing, little work, playing. Oh, and for some unknown reason someone wanted me to post something 'personal' (as if my films aren't personal enough) sooooo, I don't have milk in my coffee! Shhhhh, keep it to yourselves.
