i MAp the Strange Future to 2013
So I'm about to jump on a new schedule that I just planned out that takes me to January of 2013... NOW some might say "don't try to do too much, too fast" BUT this schedule was created based on real production experience by my own hands...dependent on ME... so I now know how long it takes me to do things... it's not "wishful thinking" or whatever as I'm not some rookie whose never finished any projects before...
NOW I know there will also be some "BUT WAIT?! WHERE IS HSM?! FINISH THAT FIRST!!!" So I will say that as of right now I have done EVERYTHING that I can do to complete HSM... I'm just waiting on the music... when I get the music I will finish it... right now I have 1 hour and 15 minutes of the music and that much of the final is finalized... the final film will be about 2 hours so when I get the rest of the music I will finalize the film... as far as when that is I can't say as I'm not the one doing that... BUT there is no SUPER rush on my part as there is no film festival deadline looming and the music I've gotten so far is BRILLIANT so it's worth the wait... BUT in my mind I have a date that the film MUST be completed so it won't go on forever trust me ^ ^

Life is short ESPECIALLY if your making films... so if your not careful you can lose years spinning your wheels... So I'm going to make sure I'm ALWAYS working towards completing a project and I always want to be sure to CHALLENGE myself with new BIGGER and HIGHER goals... if I'm not constantly challenged I get bored and depressed...so completing an ALL NEW animated feature by January 2013 is definitely a big challenge to myself ^ ^
I've learned SO MUCH from making WATS and now HSM... I'm able to work much FASTER with a higher output and at higher quality... its like when you start out your focused on say 99 things and you constantly give your time and attention to these 99 things when in production... but through these experiences I realized there's really only like 10 of those 99 things that I need to focus on while working so yeah....
Part of this realization came through facing the fact that in the end I'm making films... Film's that people should be able to follow and get swept up in... and if I'm lucky it actually moves them... I will always be me and instill my thoughts, emotions and values into my work... but when doing the work I need to become a FACTORY... so a factory I will be ^_^
I'm also playing with concepts for two other short animated series that I might release "pilots" for this year... I didn't put them on the schedule because they are still in the conceptual phase... but yeh... lots to do ^_^Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
