"Aero: Origins" Progress

April 21, 2016  /  Arturo Vargas

Hello all,

It's been over due for an update. So let's get to it shall we?

We recorded all our dialogue in February for "Aero Origins" Episode 1: Genesis with our newest cast members:

Shayan Ardalan, an American voice actor from Los Angeles, as Zephyr (Aero's twin brother).

 

Cosima Kinsey, a British actress from Switzerland, as Aurora (Aero's younger sister) . 

Kerem Erdinc, an American voice actor from Aliso Viejo, as Blitz (Aero's younger brother).

and Julia Verdin, a British film producer and voice actress from London, England, as the Light (Mother of Aero and siblings).

The dialogue has been sent to animation artists: Martin Machàlik and Sim Šebestová for production. All characters have already been crafted for 2d animation. The backgrounds and objects are work in progress, but here are some examples how the animation looks so far: 

 

The ideal plan is to finish all animation by the end of May and begin music/sound design in June and finish the episode by July. 

We can't wait to show you more content! Stay tuned for an official online release date for "Aero"!
