Animation/Livestream/Audio Novel and other Updates June 2012

It’s been a busy month or 2, then again, it’s always a busy month. Still want to get this short story compendium book out, but we’re low on entrants, there’s a few but it’s not enough to warrant publication. It’s a shame too because there’s some really talented writers. And this is an early on Indie Studio/Publisher and I want things to be professional in every aspect of what we do. I will not release anything publicly until I’m certain it will meet that goal.
So the Short Story contest will go on until September.
Shattered Heaven: Midnight Twilight Update
Current progress of the release/announcement trailer. It will hopefully be released at NYCC this year, that all depends on if we get our panel on “Indie Producing”, which will feature some voice actors and other animators. We’ll be discussing the various methods of creating Indie work that is currently becoming more and more accepted. As well as how to get in on it the right way. If we do not get the panel then I’ll release this trailer during that weekend in October. The movie is going well, the cast has started read throughs and we’re getting ready to start up full production of the animation in the coming month!
Our first read through session:

Livestream
AzurePro Studios has a livestream channel – http://www.livestream.com/azurepro
We will stream live animation sessions as the movie is being developed. You’ll get a chance to see how the animation is being done for the movie and just how much effort and time goes into it!.
Shattered Heaven: Sins of the Soul (Audio Novel)
The Kindle edition of the novel is available for $3
The audio is going well. I started converting Chapter 21 of the novel to script format. Voice Actors, I have already sent out some scripts, if you have not received one just yet that just means that your character hasn’t shown up yet. I apologize for the delay, between the movie, last minute edits to the book to fix minute errors that escaped editing and life, it was hard to keep up a schedule while getting sleep.
You can listen to audio excerpts from the novel here: http://azureprostudios.com/Blog/2012/shattered-heaven-sins-of-the-soul-audio-excerpts/
Other Upcoming Projects:
Follow My Ruin – Currently there are three episodes out of the audio drama. Due to recasting issues and some creative back and forth between the two creators we are going to be rebooting the series in a way. The cast remains unchanged aside from the recasting needs. New scripts will be coming in August to get this going.
Reflections – What started out as a one shot has turned into a mini series based on real life scenarios. The drama will continue for about 6 episodes.
Staff/Members
AzurePro Studios is an Independent Studio designed to focus and help emerging creators bring their works to life. Each member who has a project has the full support of the everyone else in the group. We each bring our own unique abilities and talent to the table, unique stories, ambitions and a variety of other things. We have a base membership, most of which who originated from the VAA with their own original projects. People who have wanted to do more with their works than just keep it at a hobby level, we have become friends to share our ambitions and help one another move forward.
If you are an original creator and are interested in joining the group then send an email to adam@azurepropress. Describe what it is you do and show examples of your work. While we want to encourage people to move forward, we do need to keep a quality standard. Right now it is extremely easy to “publish” your work and the problem with the majority of self published works is the level of quality. They are usually rushed and unpolished. We want to create a studio that stands on its own as an Independent group, but pushes professionalism and polished work. We have editors with college degrees who understand how to properly craft a story and we’re willing to help everyone interested. But please understand that if your work is underdeveloped we will let you know. We will be honest, but not mean and we’ll provide you with the proper assistance. Projects that will be showcased and marketed as being produced by APS have to be polished and must meet the standards that we look for. Do not hesitate to contact us!
