That's what's happened today. Raw, unadulterated, naked progress.

So, I'd been out of town for a while, and when I got back, I had a major deadline at work, which meant I couldn't be working on the side projects. You know, the important ones. Like Applesauce.

This project is so very interesting to me and challenging on many levels. First, there's just the understanding level. Paul has written these episodes with such density and speed that it's tough to figure them out. A typical episode script is 8 pages. The end notes on the typical script is about 12 pages. So, to watch these things, you're going to have to do a lot of thinking. Or reading. Or something.

But my part in this is to make them as interesting visually as they are intellectually. So, there's lots of color. Motion. Dynamic compositions. All in all, it's challenging me on every level.

And the naked progress? We posted the first "promosode" today. The promosodes are a chance for us to get our feet wet with the technology and techniques we're using, and they're a chance for you to acclimate your brain to the crazy pace and obtuseness that this show will bring.

And other progress? I finally got the soundtrack for the first episode of Star Trek: Odyssey posted. Folks over at the Odyssey forums have been politely asking for months, so I'm glad to finally get the tracks up and available for download.

Let me know what you think of them, eh?
