Just a note: I've taken almost two years in waiting and advertising for volunteers to join up my movie. Perhaps I'm responsible for not having a good intro to publicize, but I can't animate without actors either, nor am I going to spend time on intro when I already know I have no time left (intros aren't really a final product). I've asked around probably countless folks who've refused to join, and some who did sign in but aren't interested anymore (or have family problems, and other sort; can't blame them).

Regardless, I've waited for a little too long. I've decided that I'll wait till November 5 for the remaining voice actors to finish their recording; beyond that I'm going to finish the movie with those alone. If the recordings are insufficient then I'll make the movie without them. Of course, I won't let the voices go to waste; I'll animate special scenes along with those voices, with added effects and what have you.

jrobot has given me the entire recording for Ulfus (easily the most awesome recording so far). I'm waiting for Dapifer to record his versions of Anteus and Cedric so as to include him in the Special Editions.

So then, time is of the essence. Let's fly skywards, mates!  :franky

It's funny really: I tried to register a blog for Benevolence to showcase all the artworks, WIPs, videos and tutorials at both Tumblr and Twitter, but was unable to because of two things:

1) Benevolence is already registered in both places
2) Both of them aren't really active, which wastes such a good name...

Regardless, I'm looking for opinion. Any ideas?

UPDATE: It's up! :D
benevolence9.tumblr.com

Boy, gots lots of work to do.

XD Actually, if you've got names to suggest feel free to do so. Benevolence9 may be temporary anyway.

Also, if you've also got any suggestions on what to have in the blog, please do tell. This is my first time maintaining a blog so I have no clue where to begin.

I've also now got a Twitter, but not using it yet (don't know what to do with it).

Yeah, the texturing looks quite OK.
Good job so far. :D

xP You're a "little bit" late there. Today's November 5 (Diwali / Bonfire Night) and thus the deadline for all voice acting in the project because of insufficient actors. Although voice acting for Special Episodes are still open so you can try for that. Each special episode will be significant and will be directed with great care, like Ulfus's flashback for which jRobot voiced.

You may go through the script and pick your favourite character / line and send it to me.  :D I'll judge accordingly.

And yeah, CGI will be there for the movie, even though the movie itself is 2D. xP

WE'VE GOT A BLOG!!!

http://benevolence9.wordpress.com/

And no, not Tumblr.  :lol: Wordpress is better.

Anywhos, Benevolence 9 isn't just about Fleabane, but more projects being developed by fans and creative minds. Anybody interested is welcome aboard! Or at least subscribe to the RSS. xD

All the news and updates will be posted there, as well as here. Still got lots of work to do. >w<

On the note of Moonlight Reckoning, apparently a critical bug hit Synfig, forbidding me work. It isn't too bad, but it certainly is REALLY annoying so gotta wait till the bug gets fixed so we can have some more goodies to show off. Until then I'll be working on three things: Blog, Novel and Crono vs Dalton thingy.

Peace out! 8D

P.S.: I've also made a Facebook page, but since things haven't developed enough yet I'll keep still for now. xP

Hey, nice banner! It might be even better with a title slapped on, but that's just me.

Yo guys! A bit of an update.

Some may have been mad due to me being absent for a bit, but that's because my brother's monitor got damaged, thus I handed it to him for a while. Instead of getting the old one repaired (it was a CRT and pretty old anyway) I got myself a new LED monitor which is BETTER than my older LCD. :D Now I'll be going full on!

While I was absent I wasn't idling around either: was working on the scripts for Moonlight Reckoning (a bit on that soon), my novel, and of course the Chapter adaptation script for Artemis Fowl fan project. I've been helping them out a bit while I was on the move, and at the same time I've also acquired some knowledge on Autodesk Motion Builder. It's a pretty useful tool!

Now back to the fan project, I'm happy to tell you that the Moonlight Reckoning is evolving!  :lee: I put a post initially and realized that people would wanna see a Visual Novel akin to Radical Dreamers (but better, and more modern) thus MR will have both: the Visual Novel where YOU decide what happens, alone with awesome anime sequences. This way I'll also be able to concentrate simultaneously on another work I've been pending. That's right, Crono vs Dalton is moving!  :franky

I've already decided what kind of feel I want for the video, but frankly I can't do it alone so if there's any 3D modelers out here who wanna help me with the environment it'd be very much appreciated. Meanwhile I'll be modeling, rigging and texturing the three models, Crono, Marle and Dalton. Special effects will be done in Blender/Maya itself (depending on which shaders are better), and professional video editor Lightworks will be used! I mean hey, it's free, so why not?  :D And it's awesome.

I'll be back soon with some updates and goodies. Thanks for all your support, I promise I won't let you down, and I do apologize for all the delays (I'm very slow, I know). Peace!  :kamina
