New Reel for a Project Proposal + Life Update

It's been a rough past 2 weeks. The American Spectator documentary was put on hold because the director was traveling to D.C. to present the teaser edit I created at a gala event. I thought I had some time off to work on my short films, which I did for a bit. I was hit up to do a photo slideshow for a client around the same time I was asked to work the weekend for my brand-new full-time job. One meant extra income, and the other was sort of an obligation. I said yes to both and was stuck working around the clock.

Slide shows sound easy, but oh buddy, there were so many images I had to look through and select. Maybe 200 images give or take? It was for a personal anniversary event for the client, so I can't share it here. BUUUUT, I have a new reel to share!

A long-time friend of mine hit me up about a project proposal he was working on and asked if I could help and update him on my rates. Ooof, I just got this full-time gig, and I have to be selective on what I work on. The details included are that it is a sort of educational video and may require character animation. I updated him on my status and offered to put together work I created that is relevant to the subject matter. Now, I don't know if it is a sort of show, explainer video, or whatever, so I added a collection of cool storytelling animations and edited them into a reel to present to the prospective client.

The reel includes work I did on the short films "Timmy's Tub", "Cold and Hungry", AND my unreleased, unfinished film "A Whistle in the Woods", along with other commercial work. I did not include my animations for "The Most Dangerous Game" because that project is more like a visual novel than a film, and the animations aren't, at least I don't think, at the level of everything else I added to the reel.

If we land the gig, I'm not entirely 100 percent sure how I'll implement it into my schedule. "I'll figure it out when the time comes" is what I always say to myself. I can always hire help if I need to.

Welp, we'll see what happens. Until next time. Adios!
