Tear Update 11/08/23

Good morning, fellow explorers.

I'm going to start providing regular updates to the progress and goals of The Tear's short film and of the transmedia universe on a near daily basis as a way of keeping me honest and these channels alive.

Let's get started!

Short Film Updates:

• V11 of the short script is complete
• V3 of the budget is complete
• V6 of the crowdfund sizzle is under way
• V2 of the virtual sets are under way
• V2 of the #Indiegogo campaign copy is complete
• New Director of Photography has come aboard
• Stage scouting for virtual production is complete
• Practical location scouts are complete
• The Tear VFX construction kit using #aftereffects is complete.
• The Tear VFX construction kit using #UnrealEngine
  is under way.

Transmedia Universe Updates:

• The Tear Wiki is up and running (thetearsees.com/tear-wiki/). It's a repository for the lore I'm creating, but will eventually be used for a collaborative writing community.
• Lore building on X and Hive is underway.
• AI models and prompts are being refined and utilized for lore building.
• The Tear Community is up and running on X (twitter.com/i/communities/…), but broadcasts have not yet commenced.
  NFT collections of AI generated Tear concept art is up (nftshowroom.com/theothercola/c…).

More to come...
