60%

We've hit an excellent milestone on Keys & Kingdoms: The Choices! I've started keeping track of how much storyboarding we have left to do, really really hoping that we get on to the next step before we reach, well, the anniversary of the previous step. That was casting; the scratch actors were chosen last April, the real cast at the end of May. So, yeah, that first group has been waiting since then to see their work, and the second group has been waiting almost as long to actually get to find out what they're working on... and then do it.

But this week, my keeping-track paid off because I got to see the moment we reached 60% completion on the storyboard of the pilot. Now, just because it took a whole year to get to that point, I don't think it'll take another eight months to finish, we've been picking up speed, and enjoying ourselves more, and I hope we can get it done by the end of May at the latest.

And last May was the last time I shared any of the boards here on the blog. We kind of stopped at that point, I did go through some depression and apathy over the summer, stopped trying to get anyone to work, and no one else was up for trying either. Not until October, when I was ready to jump back in and slowly managed to rally everyone else as well.

So, here's some of the new boards we've cooked up since then!

Top to bottom: newer boards by McKenzie Eby, Michelle Jenfjord, Nathalie Jenfjord, Sadie Allen, and... Sadie Allen again! She's gotten really good.

This is about all the boards that'll ever be released out into the open, I imagine. The story reel itself will be for the crew, then probably behind a paywall after that, a special feature to encourage patronage and all that. Not the big priority, what we really wanna do is get this bad boy done, and we just hit a milestone. More gets done every week!
