also viewed the eric carle images. really inspiring stuff.
the animation environment in Nigeria is'nt too encouraging to say the least. and is mostly made up of self thought enthusiastic amateurs with laptops and a crappy or limited internet connection. most people still dont believe me when i say i do animation for a living. you try to convince people the potential animation has but most people cant see that. even t.v stations are hard to convince and in the end the give you and impossible deal. the animation industry is still struggling to get its fair share of revenue.my studio actually just made up our minds to just grab the bull by the horns and do the first pre schooler series show in the country. we just got tired of trying to pitch our stuff to sponsors and are basically locking ourselves in to finish this and hopefully they might start coming to us. or at least make decent sales from the dvd's. mainly targeting Africans in diaspora looking for something for their kids with a nigerian or african touch. but i must say things are slowly starting to move in the right direction.
The studio is really excited about your willingness to participate in the project in whatever capacity you can spare. there's actually currently just two of us
so yeah we will need any help we can get.we'll definitely be in touch.
@funksmaname-- thanks man.
. many are just calling for individual voices for the characters. and maybe just a little occasional narration. maybe if there was no lip sync at all they might not be confused at all because that was what the voice over narration was originally recorded for as we didnt want to waste time with phoneme lip syncing and thought muppet style lip sync wont do it. halfway through the first episode though i tried a basic lip sinc and i thought it worked fine. as did the director. we are actually about to experiment with the multiple voices. guess we'll see how that works. let me know your thoughts please and thanks for the comment iwaxana.
