Gagala News (G-log #3)

So far, I have edited together 26 seconds of dialogue between Candace and Lindana. It's actually far too much text, but it fits so well that I would like to use all of it for the animation. The problem, however, is that it takes far too long for a beginner like me to match the text to reasonably appropriate mouth movements. The poor sound quality in some episodes can be compensated for by the music and sound effects. But I don't want to work on it for too long and keep my supporters waiting forever. So the animation will be paused until further notice.

I'm now starting preparations for page 11 of the comix “KP's Last Mission.”

As captain of the cheerleading squad Kim isn't a huge stickler on punctuality when it comes to showing up to practice on time, but... Yeaaaah, three hours late is kinda pushin' it there, Jessica.

Thank you, Phil, for sharing and the great job you did!

A shortened version is now available. Facial expressions and synchronization of text to mouth and music still need to be added. In other words, the work has just begun. Note the lady in red on the left edge of the picture.

Thank you for your endless patience and so generous support!

The background is finished with 14 frames in an endless loop. Candace and Linda are currently at work, but a lot of decisions still have to be made. I hate that. If I don't include clothing and create just three frames of movement, the animation would already be finished. But... I have some text that would fit this animation perfectly: some of Linda's text and some of Candace's. Animating their mouths to fit the spoken words is very hard, and there has to be music in the background as well. Now, I have to decide which text to use. It should be as short as possible. Should they both be dressed? I think the answer is yes to fit the situation. I will make a short version for supporters only. The long version will take some time. As always. I wish I could afford professional software like the professionals use. Thanks for your patience.

PhillipThe2 has sent a new masterpiece starring Kim and Monique as part 35 of the series "Home Movies", with a short story. Both are available now for supporters.

As a small consolation for the wait, supporters can now access a picture of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro (from Phineas and Ferb) in a bikini, as well as a nude version. I’m currently preparing an animation starring Candace Flynn and her mom (Lindana). It will have sound.

Some of you may have noticed that some old files in the Silver Lair are labeled “New.” I have reduced the resolution of old GIF animations in the Public Lair to 720p and moved the 1080p files to the Silver Lair. These files were created with pixel-oriented software and cannot be offered in 4K or 8K. Gold and Platinum users can access the Silver Lair at any time using their password.

My 21-year-old car needed repairs again. Rust never sleeps, and I’m too old to crawl under the car and fix it myself. Exchanging rusted sheet metal the size of my hand in two spots costed me more than €800. Now, I have to save money wherever I can. That means eating lentil stew for four days in a row—perhaps even longer if I add more water—followed by oatmeal for the rest of the week. The preheater doesn't work anymore. I can't afford to repair it, and now that the mornings are starting to have frost, it's especially difficult. Oh well, I only use it once a week to buy food.

Thank you, my dear supporters, for helping me keep a roof over my head and food on the table.
Bear hug!
