I’ve put Outcast Hero on the shelf again and started working on an animated short working titled "Project Shooting Star", set in the OH universe. And here are the reasons why.
I need to make a complete animation. Just to remind myself I can. I have nothing against long-term projects - in fact, there’s an exciting challenge in the sheer scale of them. But there is a draining aspect to working on something that won’t be complete for quite a few years. So making Project Shooting Star is mainly an act of self-encouragement for me, and if other people enjoy it too, that’ll be awesome!
Bar some slight exaggerations in comedy, the short works excellently as a prelude to the rest of the movie’s storyline. If completed, it’ll be a good plug for the entire project to those who know little to nothing of it yet. Project Shooting Star has also acted as a platform to refine general OHverse history and important character concepts. The current example of this is getting down the finer points of Muxlowe’s abilities. While I wasn’t intending to use the project in this fashion, these new developments have been both encouraging and exciting. :D
I am working on completing the short by October, in order to have it ready for submitting to this year's Bang! Short Film Festival.
