Hi, I just wanna ask is there a reason why the Dominion Day video is unavailable right now?

Okay I’m coming out of my retirement to answer this ask because it genuinely shocked me. Our entire YT channel seems to have vanished. I no longer had access to the channel but it seems to have something to do with Youtube’s COPPA settlement that is out of our control.

I’m kind of bummed about that because we put a lot of hard work into those videos and I’d have liked to have kept those as an archive. That video was absolutely my baby and to see it gone out of the blue really hurts, especially because I don’t currently have all of my files since I’m still living out of a suitcase until this summer. 

I’m at a real loss of what to do now guys and I apologize. At best, I can reupload DD to my own personal Youtube channel when I have the files/time to do so and hope it stays up. I can also put up some of the stills that I did for the video on my art blog, which I meant to do ages ago.

Dominion Day Test is Up!

Cast and crew! I have released the test version of Dominion Day on the forum for you to critique and enjoy. I’m so tired of watching this that I’m unable to notice any glitches or glaring errors, and if I misinterpreted anyone’s panels or anything now’s the time to let me know before I release it to the public. The ep is a whole 20 minutes in length... so set aside some time for it! I’m hoping for any critique to be voiced by June 15-ish when I have all the fan art so I have another couple weeks for editing, but any grievances must be voiced before June 30.

Please go check it out, I hope you enjoy it. :)

Procan: Call for Fan Art?

Hey all, 

I was musing about the 150th and it’s bothered me for a while that despite the good timing and the hard work, Dominion Day is primarily the story of the first provinces to join confederation. While all the provinces and territories (except for Nunavut) appear at least once each, only six of the twelve have spoken lines and roles. Yes, yes, I know, I wrote it this way, but at the time I was thinking of it as a stepping stone to talk about the others and well... plans change.

Anyway I was thinking in the spirit of the old IAMP I’d suggest that if anyone- fans, cast and crew, anyone with the time and the interest- would like to produce a piece of visual art to celebrate the 150th and have it featured in the end credits, please consider sending us a submission. It’s a way of getting everyone involved and perhaps giving a bit more screen time to the provinces and territories who were left out of this story. 

I don’t know if anyone would be interested or have the time to get it into me by mid-June, but if I receive enough interest or submissions it’s something I think would really round out the piece and bring back an old tradition. 

Rules would be simple:

1. Must feature and focus on aph canada or sherry’s provinces/territories

2. Please keep it tasteful and for all audiences!

3. All art styles, mediums, and skill levels are welcome!

Give me a shout on this blog or by email at [email protected] if you are interested, have questions, or have a submission for Dominion Day.

Procan Updates

Now that April Fools is officially over I feel obligated to reveal that the trailer was indeed partially A Joke! But apparently not everyone got the reference, so please watch this

The trailer did indeed feature a clip from the episode, so I did try to spoil you a little bit :p featured were the lovely voices of (forum names) Kirkles as Canada (English), Orangepencils as Canada (French), and Ethanosaurus as Quebec (or Monsieur Ananas anyway). Art in this scene was done by me since I’ve gotta keep you on tenterhooks a little longer for the work of the other fabulous artists on this ep ;)

Since I’m here, some general updates: i’ve just had surgery and my medication makes me super drowsy and I’m not allowed to be moving around much, and I’ve got a test tomorrow I should be studying for... I’m still waiting on some files, but I’ll try to use this downtime to transfer what I’ve got onto my new computer which theoretically has better graphics and memory. My old computer was having a lot of trouble with a couple of the Dominion Day scenes and would even refuse to edit some parts without crashing completely which was really a hassle when I just wanted to put on a simple pan effect. Let’s hope this works out now.

Oh, and I do have a new artist for scene 2a, don’t worry! :) I also finally managed to type up all the provincial/territorial personality bios, but since the layout of the forum has changed, the text is a bit all over the place ToT I’ve been messing with it but I lose patience quite easily when it comes to coding lately, that’s not my department xD

While I’m waiting on files, I finally got my university to order the quebec history book I required, and I’m about 5-6 chapters in out of ten. I’m aiming to finish it before classes end, and if not then at least by the end of April. I don’t know how long it will take me to draw, but I’ll be taking another semester here to finish up my thesis so it’ll be nice to have something a bit more creative to work on in the meantime. Everything Project Canada related I have to work on will be done by July, if all goes well.

My meds are definitely kicking in now so I’ll end this here before I end this post with my head hitting the keyboard. Take care, everyone!
