I will be posting progress on production for the debut episode of my fantasy mini-series Silantro on this thread.
Be sure to check back regularly.

Okay, cool. I was wondering, are you gonna post the animatic on youtube?

Maybe later on after I finish the episode as a "bonus feature". It would be a pretty cool thing to do.
Alright.
Update (3/20/14)
I have sent the screenplay and animatic to the entire cast involved in the series.
Update (3/28/14)
I filmed some special effects/stop-motion tests and posted the video in the "WIPs and Tests" section. Be sure to check it out and leave feedback.
Update (4/2/14)
I have a designated shelf for everything related to Silantro for easy access when I begin filming.
I have made some slight changes to Silantro’s design. Most of them are subtle, with the only major change being that I removed the “fins” from Silantro’s hind legs. I did this because I decided that they were superfluous to the design and the redesign makes it easier to animate him.
I have made several sets for the series. A majority of them are miniatures.
The only full-scale set I have made so far is the drawbridge to King Leon’s castle. It is not completely finished, as I still need to acquire a blue baseplate for the moat (and for lake scenes, but that’s another set for another time)

Sorry about the lack of activity and updates lately. The project is not dead, but I have a few things to get out of the way before I can purchase the necessary pieces for the first episode.
(Update 6/17/14)
I was originally going to order the pieces required for this first episode of the series and begin filming next week, but the seller I'm going to order them from is on vacation until July 1, so it will be just a little bit longer before I start filming, but don't worry.

Since my LEGO brick dealer is on vacation until the beginning of next month, I decided to take the time to address some of the problems I had in my special effects test video with another one. Be sure to check out the thread in the "WIPs and Tests" section.
(Update 6/23/14)
I was just recently referred to the CGI animation software "Blender" by a YT comment on my "Silantro - Special Effects and Stop-Motion Tests #2" video, so I might possibly be using that for some scenes in the series.
(Update 7/6/14)
I finally ordered some of the pieces I need for the first episode of this series yesterday, so expect some updates on sets relatively soon.
(Update 7/13/14)
The pieces I ordered for the series arrived in the mail a few days ago and I had enough to build a small hallway set for the inside of the castle. The set is still a work in progress and I hope to begin filming this scene on my next day off.
(Update 9/29/15)
Production has not been cancelled, but due to still lacking the necessary pieces to make several of the sets, the first episode is being temporarily put on the back burner. However, I will continue to make other things like music videos and other short films.
