Amidst visits to the doctor, failing driving tests, working on finals, technical difficulties, and battling the EXTREMELY short deadline, I was able to finish the audio end of my final project for high school. Although I managed to complete the artwork for several stages, I was unable to complete them in time to make the visual end as I planned... Hopefully though, I'll get those finished someday and perhaps find a flash animator who's willing to work on this. There was so much I wanted to put into this that is beyond my capabilities, especially during the long lapses of music where visuals should've taken over.
(My 7-8 page essay on this project is proof of this.)
Thankful mentions go to the VA's who still made time to keep in touch with me or record, even though they were unable to make it into the final cut. There's a good chance that I'll make an extra reel of some kind since a lot of the improv lines, nifty takes, and outtakes still entertained me as I fought the crunch.
My mixing definitely needs work, but hopefully it showed signs of improvement. I'd appreciate any constructive criticism in regards to my skills and VAing.
XD Phillip as the Fox totally stole the show. Everyone in my class kept asking about him. Everyone was also entertained by Shockdingo's performance as the Peacock and the Tiger.
It was great working with everyone despite finals season and national holidays popping up. I'd like to work with these folks in future productions~

Wow, that was really cool! I really liked that. The mixing was fantastic, and everyone played their parts terrifically. Sheepsheep made me wanna reach into the computer and huggle her to pieces. I have to say, Lioncourt did excellent with the Fox. I see why he stole the show. Anyway, great job, I hope you can get this animated sometime.

^^; Well I have to admit, the Fox stole the show when I read "The Little Prince", so I'm not too surprised that Phillip's performance replicated that. It was just that awesome and sooooo reminded me of the Baron from "The Cat Returns".
(My sister still insists on the Professor Layton comparison though.)
x3 ::huggles everyone:: But yes, everyone put their all into this and I'm so happy that the effort shows. It was kinda weird going to such extreme lengths just to complete a production (mandatory and medical responsibilities), but the ambition was TOTALLY worth it in my opinion. The only direction to go is up--this totally raised the bar for me.

This was just absolutely fantastic. =3 The scripting of it was beautiful, and the whole cast sounded fantastic... Most of the aspects I would have critiqued (in regards to mixing, etc) have already been stated either here or at the VAA...Again, fantastic job. This was beautifully done.
