The Story So Far…
Astrojammies Progress #1 – It StartsHi, I’m Stacey Williams-Ng and I’m the author and illustrator of Astrojammies. Now that the story is written, the work I’m doing now is all in the illustrations. |
Astrojammies Progress #2 – Tackling the AnimationStacey gets some tips from her friend Tim Decker, animation professor at University of Wisconsin, and former Simpsons animator. |
Astrojammies Progress #3 – Not Just a Cartoon… a Demibook!David B. wrote in and asked a great question. How are we planning to “create a book experience, as opposed to producing another channel for animation?” |
Astrojammies Progress #4 – Painting the IllustrationsThe illustrations for Astrojammies have gone through several different iterations, beginning with an early pencil sketch I made years and years ago about a boy with magical pyjamas. |
Astrojammies Progress #5 – Film Day, Fun Day!Filmmaker Ruth Leitman shoots Rafiq and Stacey in her Milwaukee studio, and fun was had by all. We now need to get the film edited, and will put it online soon. |
Astrojammies Progress #6 – From the Sound Engineering BoothRafiq gets into the importance of sound and music in the storyline. We need some help choosing between a couple of different sets of wacky sounds that moons would make if moons could make some noise! |
Astrojammies Progress #7 – Theme SongWe play an early preview of the Astrojammies theme song that accompanies Jimmy on his journey. |
Astrojammies Progress #8 – Kids Give The App A SpinStacey takes Astrojammies into a classroom. There’s nothing like putting your art before your desired audience and then watching their reaction. |
Astrojammies Progress #9 – The Making Of Astrojammies VideoA short film by Ruth Leitman and Lucas Seibel. Stacey Williams-Ng teams up with Demibooks to bring you an interactive kid’s book app for the iPad. |
