Detectives Update

So yes, this little series will in fact be going ahead, and I'm already underway in writing the script, recording, and doing backgrounds and symbols for the flash.

I've been talking to some people about this project and some things occurred to me. My impression of Alice the receptionist isn't very feminine. I don't think this is really a problem though, I think it just makes it funnier. If you look at Bob's Burgers, which I personally love, you'll find that two of the three female members of the family are voiced by men. (I'd also like to mention that show is made with Flash :D) As for the Chief, I'm not sure I can voice him properly. I'll be voicing Skittles and Lance myself, as they're the main duo of this show, and they'll have the most lines. They already sound alike. If I try to voice everyone it'll all sound the same and that's gonna make it a little repetitive.


As for the animation side of it, I'm trying my best to keep it simple, because this isn't exactly short. I'm using stickmen for the majority of the characters, and I'm skipping shading. It will, of course, be in colour. Yay!
I don't know of those around me also have an interest in Flash, so at the moment I'll be taking this on myself, which I'm okay with, but it will take a while to complete it and make it look smooth.

So if you know me personally and you'd like to try voicing a character, contact me however. I would also like to know who knows their way around flash and animating. It's a lot of fun doing these projects, I promise.

Also, my wacom drawing tablet arrived a few days ago. It's absolutely fantastic. I got the Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch in a medium size, which is about A4. It's very smooth and reliable, and the pen doesn't need batteries. It'll help in making backgrounds and doing more complicated sketches.
