🕑 Added 2023-08-27 01:00:24 +0000 UTCLife has been... wild, but that's far from unheard of to me
I am actually in my last month as a housed person, as by the end of September I will have transitioned to living in my car
Wowwee-zowwee, amirite?
It's a long story for a different day, so I'll just stick to how it all relates to the future of Faraway
The TLDR is that I have NO intentions of letting Faraway die because of this change, and I have some plans in place for how I will be able to continue production
While I will be living in my car with my dog Yuki, but I am going to be renting a small room to store all my belongings and I will be able to have my PC set up to work on
The main thing that is due to change to the format of Faraway is the filmed sections;
I won't have the space required to put the Nova's workshop set back up, so I decided for the intro/outro sections I will switch to them also being audio only, however with a different visual display style so that it is clear what is Rea's diary logs and what is the recorded adventure sections
And then hopefully in the future some time I will be able to have the set again somewhere and I can go back and re-cut the episodes with the filmed sections restored, much like how I intend to re-cut Ep 0 to fix the video-log segment to match the finalised style
Honestly, the thing I struggled most with having to move to transience was the inability to work on Faraway, but I have obviously let my natural problem-solving skills take effect and I found these little work arounds'
Faraway was huge to me- getting to make it and just do what I love and have always wanted to do, even without the money and equipment and man-power that proper production studios have
After going through pre-production for the show, and having many road-blocks to clear to even be able to get the first episode out; having the prospect of once again being kicked down by life and having to shelve Faraway really felt like I had failed some how, that even thought I had done my absolute best with what little I had- I some how hadn't tried hard enough
Well f*** that concept all together lmao
I have done incredibly well, and after a couple weeks adjusting to the new reality I'm facing and getting my head back on my shoulders I'm feeling pretty positive over all
I'm a stubborn bastard; Rea definitely takes that quality from me
Once I process the end of the previous stage of my life, I bounce back and am ready to make the most of the next
Life comes in waves. I'd like for them to be a little less turbulent, but C'est La Vie~
