Chapter 20: Balls in the Air (It’s Not What You Think)
by Leesa Dean
Two days ago I launched the Season Finale of Chilltown. At first, I was mega excited. It’s (mostly) been a thrilling ride and I’m proud of the work I did. But then something happened I really didn’t expect: I started feeling a bit sad.
I have no idea if I’ll be able to finance Season 2. And mostly, I just don’t want it to end. Even with the ridiculous amount of work and some of the ups and downs, it really is so. much. fun. And exciting. Animation involves a HUGE amount of work; way more than live action. It’s not like picking up a camera and going for it. It takes a long time to execute. If I did it all myself again, it would probably take about a year and half, if I did it full-time, which I can’t do. I need a crew, even if it’s a mini one. And I need financing for that to happen.
