Blog 3- Creative Troubles

So in my last blog, I talked about several things that were on my mind, creative business being one of them, and in particular, was just barely alluding to some form of a struggle in that category

However, I didn't get quite into enough detail about the situation at hand when I made the blog

Thus I'd like to expand on that


So I've been working on an animated project for a bit of a while and it's been a fun yet tiring affair- the effort has, over three and a half years, given me many audition tapes from prospective VAs, a few honest attempts at a pilot script, some animated character designs, an animatic and a lot of notes- not to mention a well put together, but constantly shifting in numbers, creative group


However this thing, as it is an EXTREMELY indie undertaking, has its downsides 


Mainly the fact that I'm basically, as the producer, the sole person in charge of both promoting the show to...well everyone (potential audiences and potential creative partners/collaborators/crew)


Between this and keeping that group together by a schedule, I've proven to be a halfway decent but also nowhere near effective enough team lead


So at the moment, I've sorta become consumed by a combo of working the show out as I bring it back from hiatus, figuring out more effective ways at promoting it (with a friend), and trying to find a better person to help co-lead the whole thing and take some burden off me/be more effective at saying and scheduling shit


so TLDR- making a show is hard as hell, but i love it and it might be worth it if i just had some help....or some good publicity, either one works

if i had more experience, i'd volunteer. i hope you find someone capable to alleviate your load! what's your show about, if you don't mind me asking here?



i thank you for the thought on that offer

the show's about a bunch of high schoolers, circa 2012-13/2013-14, sorta just figuring themselves out


based on some pre-existing material that was short lived


it's a mix of a straight comedy about life, a genre parody and a bunch of emotional drama
