Well hello there! This is the Covered UP crew bringing you an update on episode 2 and its production.
(Skip to the TL;DR if you don't want to read all of this)
Firstly a few updates about the show at large and answering some questions we are getting, we were blown away by the amount of love and support we got from episode 1. You guys are awesome! We have gotten a lot of messages to our inbox and on our own profiles and we are super grateful. We truly did not expect anyone to care about this quirky little shows first episode but, we are happy you all enjoyed it and hope the next episode is just as good!
Question 1 : Can I be a voice actor in the show?
So to be honest we don't have a need for anymore voice actors at the moment since pretty much all the characters we plan to introduce have been cast. Does that mean we will never need VAs again? Probably not, things happen and also we could always have some one off characters or back ground people needed.
Question 2 : Can I be an animator for the show?
My only answer to this is another question, how little can you be paid? I kid, mostly, but as of now we are not looking for animators due to our budget already being used on the animators we have hired currently. If this show somehow makes money or if you guys support us enough to be able to hire more animators we will certainly do so. But, for now we are gonna keep the production crew small.
Question 3 : Are you going to be exclusive to Newgrounds?
For the most part Covered UP is going to be a Newgrounds series. We do have a Youtube channel you can check out and subscribe to, however if you want to keep up with updates like this, then your best bet is to stick around the NG page.
Now, on to the updates. Episode 2 has begun the animatic process and we will be having a small bit of animation to show hopefully around the 20th if everything goes well. We are hoping to release episode 2 around the middle of July somewhere around the 17-20th. This one will be about the same length as episode 1 to keep in consistency. We are also going to introduce a new character to the crew Mike. Fun fact, he originally was not going to be apart of the crew and instead be more of a slight reoccurring role whenever we had an idea for him, but, not to spoil anything, he actually became quite a favorite to write for all of us. So hope you enjoy him!
So yes, TL;DR Episode 2 is going to have a release date of July 17-18th so look forward to it!
Here is a bit of the storyboards to hold you all over!
