Killer Quest: Happy Birthday, Taylor!!!

Ello, everyone! Genie here with the third and final JGT Birthday Cycle video! 

Here's to you, Taylor! To celebrate your birthday, Jocey and I boarded and drew another JGT animatic using a song from The Lightning Thief musical...

The song is called "Killer Quest," and, fitting enough, it's about the main trio going on an epic journey to ultimately save the day! Sounds a bit familiar, right?

In this last Lightning Thief video, we wanted to make sure we included the rest of the JGT crew. As a little bonus, Jocey drew an awesome picture of Lila in the role she played in the "Lost!" animatic. Such a cute mysterious hooded figure, don't you think?

The cast for "Killer Quest" includes Jag as Luke, Rudy as Clarisse, Sir Aldric as Chiron, Flitwick as a tiny and fabulous cameo, Genie as Annabeth, Jocey as Percy, and last but not least, Taylor as Grover. 

We made Taylor Grover for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that when Taylor saw the musical live in New York, she met and really connected with George Salazar, the actor who played Grover. When she told me this, I got all the feels. The second reason is that Grover is a totally loyal friend, whose bravery always shines through no matter how scared he is. And that reminded me of our birthday girl :)

So, Taylor, may you have a wonderful, wonderful birthday. I hope you enjoy the video, and may all your birthday wishes come true!

Genie, Jocey, and JGT

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

Ello! Genie here! With a page that didn't take a month to create!

It's a miracle!!

Haha, laughing-at-myself aside, I'm just really excited about this part of the story. A lot of new things start popping up.

Anywho, I hope you enjoy the page! Onto the next...

Until then,

Genie

PS: If you recognize the Ozian rainbow-like character that Jocey is portraying in this page, I applaud you ;)

New Scene, New Character!

Ello, everyone! Genie here to announce that we have reached a new scene in the story! Huzzah! And we have a new character! Double huzzah!

Thank you all so much again for your patience with the pages. Things are getting very busy on my end, but I'm trying my best to get the pages up so the story can unfold at a decent pace, haha.

I hope you enjoy this one, and I hope you're prepared to meet the (kind of--sort of--maybe) most evil character in Oz!

Until then,

Genie

Lost in the Woods: HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENIE!

Allo everyone'

Jocey here, continuing the birthday prophecy cycle!

This time around, on August 21, it is the lovely creator of JGT birthday Genie!

Continuing with the theme of the Lightning Thief Musical, here is a pretty sweet video that I helped board:

This song is called Lost in the Woods, and now that you've watched and listened to the last part of it, do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing. This song is so catchy and funny and it's so much fun to act to! While we were boarding it over a Skype call we both made funny dramatic faces at each other. The three main parts of Annabeth, Percy and Grover have gone to Harry, Genie and Jocey, mostly cause Grover feels pretty bad about losing their food (Jocey), Annabeth made a list of their adversaries (Harry), and Percy is in charge (Genie).

Continuing with this fun theme I wanna wish Genie the happiest birthday! Thank you for sharing all your stories with me, it means the world to me knowing that you've shared your drafts and your WIPs with me because I know that you'll make it! I'll always be your biggest fan! Thank you for always supporting me too, you have no idea how much it means to me! I hope you enjoy your special day, and thank you for allowing me to help with the animation of this birthday short!

Jocey and JGT

P.S. Fun fact: That hooded figure is supposed to be Lila

Hap, Hap, Happy Birthday, Morrison Brothers!

Ello, everyone! Genie here with another birthday post!

Since I'm doing animatics for the JGT Birthday Prophecy, I thought I'd practice some more with the Morrison brothers' birthday.

So, here's a very, very short animatic...

The song is "Waving Through a Window" from Dear Evan Hansen, by the way. I don't know, I just really liked that particular verse; it reminded me of Harry and Ace. And honestly, all four lines of the verse can pertain to either brother. So...yay, feels!

I hope you guys enjoy this short yet (bitter)sweet birthday vid! Happy Birthday, Raccoon Dudes!

Until then,

Genie
