City Behind the Moon!
It's very futuristic and what not.
Right now, it's almost a minute and thirty seconds long. I expect it to be around five to six minutes long. It's getting done at an unusually quick rate. Will be uploaded by the end of August!
Sorry for not as many posts on the jwbstudios channel. I have been Poppet crazed! :D

Summer Night
I float around some more. The blue light was on, making waves of blue move around on the pool floor. This makes me more excited for the arrival of Master Blue poppet. I can ask him about the blue light and how it works. I assume he know much about all that is blue. I think I will ask him first about the sky.
Before I went in the pool I lit the tiki torches and bug fires, and read Neil Gaimans "Neverwhere" by candle light. It was very peaceful but mosquitos kept invading despite the candles...I get the feeling often that they don't even work...
Well, either way, it was nice. I enjoyed it. I rescued a cricket that was drowning in the pool...but when I put him down I went to put my glasses on (they were already off, I was ready to go in) and he was gone....I get the feeling he will pay me back in the future in one way or another. I'll post when I think the debt has been paid.
After the pool I sat for awhile and just watched the sky...waited for a few stars to become present. Then I went inside, got pajamas on. Mind is clear, headaches gone, time to relax further and watch a movie with some popcorn and iced tea. Tonight has been my ideal Summer Night.

Summer
The correct time to start the script hasn't quite presented itself yet. It will soon I think. Timing is everything. If I start a script when the idea isn't ripe enough in my head, it begins to spoil and then I don't feel like animating it anymore. Making animations is a very delicate process.
In the mean time I started working on a short 30 second ongoing animation that should be done soon...its a new Poppet animation featuring the "The End is Nigh" Poppet. It will have a meaningful message in it somewhere.
The Moon animation will utilize something I would never touch, normally. Techno music. I have been exploring the hideous world of hypnotic computerized songs and found one I like...but the animation will mostly consist of simple free downloadable loops edited together to avoid copyright claims. If only people would share their work, always. No matter. Thats about all for now...have a nice day. ^_^

Recent Developements.
After that I may do light work with Alice in Wonderland, nothing special or guarenteed, but I will be most interested in the next real animation "The City Behind the Moon". Its about a boy who gets transported to the moon, and finds there is a CITY behind it. He meets a local city girl, who helps him try to find a way back home to Earth and they both run into the head of the Lunar Police Force, a robot, and he doesn't like them very much. So now it becomes a race against the clock to get the boy back to earth, or be jailed or worse by the corrupt robotic police officer who will stop at nothing to stop these law breakers. It's due to be released aroundthe anniversery of the real first steps on the moon in July.
After that it will APPEAR we are on hiatus but I will be getting started on the Halloween animations set for October releases. One will be a music video of the Haunted Mansions theme song "Grim Grinning Ghosts", animated to my interpretation of the Haunted Mansion attraction in Walt Disney World Resort.
The other Halloween animation is my next planned Poppet animation, " Poppet Sees a Ghost". But everything about it could change, its very up in the air at the moment. More updates will be released about it as they come along. Tomorrow I hope to release a poster for the current one "Poppet Conducts and Orchestra" so get ready! :-D

Music Videos, Poppets, The Moon, and other Things
1. I am currently in collaboration with Lisa Snellings, an artist and creator of the Poppets, interesting and mysterious creatures who have been here on Earth for a few years, but in the universe for many. You can purchase your very own Poppet here

2. Also, I have two animated music videos in production that are on hold until the poppet animation is complete. One is an oldies type music video called "It Don't Mean a Thing" and the other is an Alice in Wonderland music video, with music from the new movie. Its basically the book in five minutes time.
3. This summer I have an animation coming out called "The City Behind the Moon". I cant tell you more, but guess what it's about.
4. Once ALL of that is done, I will take a short break for a month or two, to have time to continue to learn how to use my new animation program. I do think I will continue to animate Poppets throughout that time though. I thoroughly enjoy animating and drawing them. It feels more like fun than work. :-D
