Perpetual projects and daily obsessions.
After a holiday hiatus (and… ahem… an extra week off), we’re back.
With a couple new character to voice, once of which is giving me some heartache. Suffice it to say that Mak (the human, not the squirrel) sounds a lot more like Badger in my head than he does in my mouth. Ahh well.

I did something wrong with the mic controls on this one, so there’s a hiss. A bit shorter than normal, also, but a nice bit for both Finn and Jon when they see an old friend.
And another little reveal about Bilabil. :)

Late, but still Tuesday!
Getting a better handle on my mic, so to speak. Also, a couple nice exchanges with Jon and Finn, and a little revelation about Bilabil. Fun stuff, if somewhat transitional.

A shorter section, where I get to make the sounds one makes when one has boiled one’s mouth. Hooray.
(Happy Thanksgiving, folks.)

In which we see how very bad the plan is that Jon, Finn, and Bilabil come up with, and then return to the “princess story” for a bit. I’m particularly happy with both sections.
Also: New Microphone! Man, it helped a lot. (Thanks for the loan, Tim!)

So, in the last section of the story (episode 4), the characters went off script.
The outline clearly reads:
That’s it. No problems along the way.
But did that happen? Noooo. There were problems, even though I’d said that there weren’t supposed to be any, and pretty soon, Bilabil is pointing across the way and telling us that the only alternative route worth a damn was the old battle cruiser… except it was really dangerous.
There was one small problem with that; I had no idea WHY.
So, following my own advice (which I wrote down and blogged as a NaNoWriMo tip the next day), I dropped that storyline for awhile and wrote something else entirely.
Specifically, I wrote out the entire story of the Princess traveling into the Forest of Anything in search of medicine for the Queen (and, in the process, meeting Mira and Mak and a magical bear-cat named Bin).
The whole story (which I have since chopped up and woven between the action on the Drift during episodes 5 and 6) took me about two days to get down.
Then I went back to Jon and Finn and Bilabil, perched on that ship’s hull, and I knew why the detour was dangerous, and they knew how they were going to deal with it.
I think it worked out pretty well.
Except for Finn, that is.
But you’ll find out about that later.

Okay, so the guys haven’t quite left the outline behind yet. I’ll talk about that more with Episode 5, when it happens.
This one took me bloody ages to get edited, because I couldn’t seem to get a solid take. By the time I got done, I was a leeeeeettle crazy, so I looped in an outtakes track at the end (it starts around 15:17, for those that want to skip right to the sounds of my fucking up over and over — warning, contains many heartfelt swears).
