00:02And what about the other joke you've got?The Lava Moon Studios one.Yes.Can you say a bit more about it?Oh yeah, sure, yeah, yeah.I found that opportunity the same as with the Singapore job.It's in Rising Animators then, so that was the one for everyone.The creator of the show, Jake Chishon Patel, posted on Rad saying that he needed writers or pitch show.
00:23And I thought to myself, like, okay, I have no idea what the show is, but animation writing gigs are scarce.So I reached out to himAnd then I said, I'm interestedAnd then he sent me the websiteAnd he said, let's have a talkAnd then I looked at the websiteUnfortunately, the website is under maintenance at the momentSo I let you know
00:41Yeah, I had to look at the designsOf their showsAnd I thought to myself like,wow, this is one of the most beautiful thingsI've ever seen.The animation is stunning, beautiful.But there was one particular projectThat really caught my eye
00:55And I loved the charactersAnd the complex story,the mystery element, which was Secrets of Grindelba.So it had that mystery element, it had that fantasy element.It reminded me of all the shows that I loved watching, like Gravity Balls, Amphibia, that recently watched.It was a really great show.And it also had like mystery elements, like Avatar, The Last Airbender, pretty much reminiscentto all fantasy films like The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones.
01:19So I messaged him and I said, which show am I working on?And he said, Secrets of Grandelba, and I was like, yes.But then I remember that he said,I'm looking for a writer for a show pitchand I thought to myself, show pitch.Okay, so am I writing for the content on Kickstarter?Which I've had experience in doing in Millsexbecause, yeah, you know, like in Millsex we had the like
01:38fund our film right down on the crowd to raise money.But yeah, I've had experience and funding stuff.But he said, you're writing for it.And I was like, yes.You're one of the writers, actually.So I was like, yeah, I love working in a team.So we've been working on the show for like,we've been trying to work on the various stages of the show for about a year or so
02:01and it's really picking up.I can't say anything yet.I mean, you can find it on social media like at Lava Moon Studios on Instagram and you'llsee like we recently just posted an April Fool's post.I'm just looking at it.Animation is beautiful, yeah.Yeah, it's really beautiful, yeah.And the characters are beautiful as well.
02:19Like whenever I'm writing for the characters, I'm like,it sounds like I'm hanging out with friends.Because like the main character's Rune, who is the purple mushroom girl.If for example, if I'm running for Roon, I'm thinking, oh, let's see what Roon's doing.Let's see what Bo is doing.Bo is her friend over there.The guy with the yellow thing around his eye.Yeah.
02:35So like, I can't wait for everyone to see the characters and see their story.And is this secret of Green Gilles Vime film or TV series or what is it going to be?It's a TV series.We're working on the pilot right now and trying to get it off the ground.And we're hopefully going to develop it into a series.Wow, yeah.So is cool.
