Time for Episode 3! In the past episode, I touched on how I felt like Kal was a potentially flat character. I felt making Episode 2 that I shouldn't ever write a character I'm not excited to animate or design a cool performance for. Upon finishing said episode I began work on Episode 3 and felt Clair, the Keeper of Visions would fall into the same category; So I completely rewrote her. In my script she was originally entirely different. An old 'shaman-esc' lady. I went to design her visually and decided she wasn't interesting, and I caught myself beginning to phone it in with her development. I stopped and rewrote the character, and I think I ended up with someone much more loveable. I had a blast developing Claire and animating her.

Super Turbo Power Punch MAXED is a feature that's being broken up into episodes. Which I am beginning to learn was a stupid decision. The writing has been paced to be watched as a whole. But now I have back-to-back episodes (2 and 3) with NO action and NO tetherball. This result bugs me. Moving forward with my next series my philosophy will be evolving from "a feature being split into episode" to "An episodic series that will be combined into a feature." I think this change will make me much more satisfied with the process of releasing smaller contained videos. As I felt with this episode that I was trying to "just get through this one" so I can work on the next sequence I'm excited for. I plan to get this right at the writing stage as I develop my next series.

There's lots I can say about this episode. But honestly almost every aspect falls into the category of how I felt about Kal as a character. The colors, the contrast, the lack of action, the exposition, are all lows from that of Episode 2. I believe this all can be fixed in the sense of how I feel about my philosophy of "not writing things I don't want to animate.." Another psych change I plan on making for the next series.

Departing from what I DON'T like, I really love the interaction between Claire and Damian after Kal begins his vision. I love their little conversation as they get a bit more 'real.' I ALSO like Damian's philosophy toward the beginning about how Kal presents himself. Encouraging him to break out of his shell and commit to what he thinks is cool is something I really enjoy.

I think that's about all I have to say about Episode 3. I'm REALLY stoked for some of the action I have planned for Episode 4. See you there!
