I do the same thing with Joe Brickmond. I like to try to write down ideas and basic plots for future episodes while I'm making the current episode, so as to keep the flow going.

Back for 2019!

I just put together 30 new laughs for the laugh track.  I'm trying to get an "Oooooh!" as well.  I know of one season 7 Everybody Loves Raymond episode and one season 5 Big Bang Theory episode that have such audience reactions.  I'm going to try to isolate and add them to my library of 300+ laughs.  I wish to have more applause without laughing.  I only have one, and I wish to have more variety.  I know that episodes of "All In the Family" end with a joke that becomes applause, but what I'm looking for is straight-up applause.  If anyone reading this knows a good source from an actual sit-com, please give a shout out.

I made 36 more laughs and a woo for my soundtrack.  So I have 96 new laughs in total, which will be mixed into episode 3 along with some of the original laughs for 1 and 2.  My library contains 450+ laughs all together.

Whoa that got me really excited

I've also completed processing the audio for spin-off episode 1 yesterday.  The photography is also completed, and now I'm just putting the frames in sequence.  The spin-off actually introduces a new character, Steven, who is one of Brent's co-workers.  Steven was originally planned to make his debut in episode 5 of the regular series, but he'll be seen in the spin-off first.  By the way, the ep 5 script is newly-completed.

Most of St. Hilarius church is built.  I'm impressed.  I'm still debating on how to handle lighting in relation to the stained glass windows.

Still animating.  I learned something that may help me reduce the flicker.  Totally new technique.  I'll write about it when I have time in case anyone else has a Sony that's limited on manual photo features.

Bad news... a flash drive crash erased a lot of images, some script ideas, and some pms that had some ideas I had as well as voice work from others and pictures I was going to post to tumblr.  I'll be spending the week recovering the files.  Not only that, the entire history of lxf files was lost and I'm recovering as many as possible.

I completed the Chancellery building for the Hitler sequence.  It looks pretty close to the real building.  I just posted three virtual images and three photos of the building, which is currently the first thing seen on my tumblr page:

I had to re-record a lot of Brent Schneider lines because the microphone friction picked up.  I'll be portraying three other characters, Bill Maher, Cellmate, and TV announcer voice(s).  A non-BiM member, Anna Hostert, is portraying Bill Maher's debate partner, Ann Coulter, and she sounds a whole lot like her.  I sent an email to the real Ann Coulter a while back on a whim to ask her to play herself.  I never heard back, but it would have been a ick if she did accept the role!  But sometime I gotta tell my true Neil Cavuto story.  The Ann Coulter-Bill Maher segments are actually in the background under the main storyline dialogue, and it's a shame because Anna's work is so well-done.  I'm going to offer the clean unobstructed conversation segments as bonus material on the Episode 3 DVD after the episode airs.
