Further Update One: Helping Hands

Greetings readers.

It's been a while since the last post here. There are several reasons for this. Christmas and New Year have been and gone since the last update. But the main reason for my silence is that, whilst the film was still far from complete, my time on the project had technically come to an end. The important word there is "technically". There was enough money to pay me for ten weeks work, and that well has ran dry.

But that isn't the end, oh no.

I'd like to see this film finished. Hence, I have offered to continue working on the film gratis. It's not feasible to work on it five days a week as before, but a couple of days will be much appreciated by Sam.

And I'm not the only person willing to work on this project for free. A few other folks have also worked, or are doing work on this film pro bono (okay, okay... working on an animated short, as good as it will no doubt be, doesn't perhaps count as pro bono publico. But I wanted to fit that phrase into here somewhere, damn it).

So with the efforts that I and the others (whose names I shall insert in recognition once I remember who has contibuted) the project rumbles on. The animation stands at 7 minutes done (at least, I think that's what Sam said, I'll check that figure ASAP, so we're well past halfway.

Well, until the next update folks, take it easy.
