We reached over $1,000 in donations today!  As promised, we’re excited to announce the next member of the production team….

Concept artist Bart Willard!

With more than 20 years as a professional artist, Bart has worked as a graphic designer, illustrator, animator, art director, production designer, and even a prop builder.

A graduate of Huntington University, Bart began his career designed PowerPoint media presentations but continued to develop his skills as an artist and designer with a desire to one day work within the entertainment industries of theatre, film, and video games.  While working as a professional graphic designer, Bart added animation and 3D modeling to his skill set.  He now enjoys working as a concept artist, animator, and art director for various projects within video production, motion pictures, and game development.

We’ve already received some awesome designs from Bart, which really makes this project finally start to feel real. 🙂  There’s another member of the team we’re looking forward to announcing, but you’ll need to wait until we reach $2,000 in donations!  So if you’d like to help us reach our goal, head over to the Donate page and help us out!

We’re excited to announce that Tim Nolte has joined the writing team, and will be working on revising the pilot script!

Tim Nolte, owner of Maskil Productions, has over a decade of experience in professional production. He earned a degree in writing and directing from Colorado Film School. Tim’s award-winning work has given him skills in virtually every aspect of filmmaking, from writing and directing to editing and visual effects. His credits include the award-winning shorts Fulfillment and Fearless, as well as work on local and national television shows, three independent feature films, dozens of short films, commercials, music videos, and educational videos. He spent 8 years as a Final Cut Studio trainer for Apple Inc., and currently works as a director of photography shooting classes for Craftsy.com.

Tim has some very exciting ideas for the story of Delantare, and we’re very happy to have him as a part of the team!

The first draft of the pilot script has been completed!

Of course, the first draft is just the start! Now begins the rewriting process to really make the story the best it can be!  But this is definitely a HUGE step!

The first step in creating the Delantare series was putting together what’s called a “series bible.”  Basically, it’s a document that lays out background information on the world of the story, introduces the main characters, and gives summaries and outlines of the story.  The series bible then acts as a guideline for writers to make sure their scripts are consistent with the overall vision for the show.

Well, we finally completed ours!

Sorry, but the cover of this 20 page document is all we can show you at this time. 😉  But now that the bible is complete, writing has now begun on the pilot script!

Exciting times ahead! Be sure to like Delantare on Facebook and follow on Twitter, and spread the word about this exciting new sci-fi series coming out of Colorado!
