WILL THE REAPER: Visual Edition - HOW many? O.O
*~ Photo belongs to A-1 Pictures ~*
A while back, I made a "visual edition" of 3DF's fan audio of The Story of Will the Reaper, the OVA from Kuroshitsuji Season 2. It's our most successful audio yet, probably due to the fact that, for a while longer at least, it's the only available English version. If you haven't heard it yet, go to the left side bar, and click the link. The visual edition is there as well.
[PS: In April, FUNimation is releasing Season 2 in North America on DVD, and the OVAs are a huge reason why I want to get it. So as with all 3DF projects, show your love for the original sources as we're just a bunch of fans who love what we do. I think it's currently available for pre-order.]
But anyway, I made a visual edition using the audio from our project and still imagery of the episode. Why still imagery as a lot of folks have complained about? For the following reasons:
1) 3DF will always, first and foremost, be about audio and listening. We have stated that we fight for the art of audio-drama, a media that has become lost in a sea of films and television. With still imagery (pictures over audio), a viewer still has to pay attention to the audio itself. The pictures are an added bonus.
2) Video dubbing is NOT easy, and I applaud professional and amateur voice actors who have done it. I made a full motion video dub once for Gyakuten Kenji 2, and it was the biggest pain in the rear ever. Not to mention, for Will the Reaper, as a radio-play style audio that took necessary liberties in adaptation, it doesn't match up directly to the video. A visual edition is a bonus from 3DF, a treat. And that's what it was always meant to be.
3) With all the insanity going on about YouTube and copyrighted materials, doing an actual video of the dub would probably not go over well. I go out of my way to constantly say "We're NOT making money off this! We just love what we do." It would kill me to put so much hard work into a project only to see it taken down because bots and suchery found matching material and doesn't know the different. Still imagery alone takes many hours between picking screen captures and then editing it all together in a crappy video editing program. To do so much work on a video itself only to see it taken down or silenced...I wouldn't be a happy camper.
With all this said, however, I'm quite honored to say that Part I and Part 2 of Will the Reaper have received over 10k and 12k views. And frankly, that's pretty damn epic. If you're one of those viewers, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. If you haven't seen it yet, please, go take a listen and watch!

"Butler" Ep. 20 Fan-Dub Excerpt
3DF's Black Butler "Proper" series, as it's come to be known in the cast, is drawing to a close. The finale, BLACK BUTLER: From the Ashes, will conclude our presentation next year. But there's quite a jump between Rewritten's last episode, #18 and Ashes' first episode, #22. I highly suggest checking them out.
[...] "But Faith, we love the 3DF cast, and can't wait 'til next year for more!"
Oh, well, in that case...
Some of the lovely folks in our cast have gotten together to not only perform an epic scene from Ep. 20, His Butler, Escaping, but they did it with visuals! As usual, though, please be aware that Black Butler contains material that may not be suitable for all viewers, and this is certainly not an exception.
In this scene, Sebastian has been taken captive and brought to the Tower in Ciel's place after the boy earl is accused of drug trafficking. After some time, a familiar enforcer greets him to offer him a deal...and administer punishment if need be.
Starring the voices of Jason Marnocha as Sebastian Michaelis, Lord Randall and the dungeon master; Krystal Donahue as Angela Blanc; and Rina Adachi as Ciel Phantomhive. It was edited by Jason, and is hosted at Krystal's voice acting YouTube page. (Please see the sidebar for links.)

Regularly Scheduled Update
Well, not really, as I didn't have an update scheduled, but hey, I digress. :)
3DF has been a bit quiet lately, and that's normal for this time of year. With fall arriving and winter very quickly approaching, there has been a lot of illness going around, and in addition to that, school has picked up the pace. Many of our VAs are students and this is an extremely busy time for them. So, be it fellow VAs or followers, we appreciate you sticking with us, particularly via the Facebook page. (Link in the right-hand sidebar; come on over and play!)
In terms of productions, here's a quick run-down on what's going on behind the scenes:
1) The infamous Shangri-La - I'm waiting on ONE more set of lines. If I don't receive them soon, I will be recording the remaining role myself. Thank God it is female. XD But that is chugging along.
2) Ace Attorney - Also moving along slowly. I have received understudy lines, so I should have some time to work on that soon. I do need to contact some more folks about it though. Specifically with Apollo Justice, we're at a slight stand-still as one of the crucial characters might need a new VA.
3) Black Butler - Much happier news, this has been our main focus for some time. Rewritten is in heavy mixing right now, and I'm waiting on a bit more line work. Expect that in the very near future.
4) Christmas project - Followers of the Facebook page will have seen that while I'd love to do The Christmas Toy, it requires more work than I could chew. I have actually found a pre-made script for the classic A Christmas Carol. Currently in debate for doing that in some way or form. Perhaps as a reading by some of your favorite 3DF veterans, at the very least.
And finally, one project about to go into heavy planning. I just recently completed my very first writing venture for the Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler fandom, entitled "For the Love of Stella." Yes, that is going to become an audio presentation. :) Currently cast VAs include Curt Rose (Grell Sutcliff), Dylan Spencer (William T. Spears), Krystal Donahue (Alan Humphries), Gabriel Clarke (Ronald Knox), Jason Marnocha (joining "Team Shinigami" as Eric Slingby) and Samantha Ylagan aka "ichigoboba" as baby Stella. Longtime veterans James Hall and Rina Adachi are in talks.
I hope to audition some folks for three brand new characters, a band of rogue Demons, 2F/1M. More information on that soon. If you would like to read the fan-fiction, you can find it online at fanfiction.net and deviantArt.
On a final note, congratulations to 3DF legend Jason Marnocha on achieving 2000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, LordJazor. Go on ever there to see his video for the occasion! He was epic enough to include video footage of line recording, one such set of behind-the-scenes being his recording lines as Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler! (Please be aware, the video contains content that is not safe for work or kidlins. :3)

WILL THE REAPER - Visual Edition
PART 1
PART 2
WILL THE REAPER has gone visual. I premiered it as an early Halloween gift to the Facebook group yesterday. Which is why if you haven't joined our Facebook page yet, it might be a good idea to do so!
3DF uses still imagery, along the lines of the old Golden Books videos of the 80s/90s, for a few reasons. 1) Nostalgia. 2) Video itself is very difficult to dub. 3) Still images help, but your mind is still focused on audio, which is our whole goal! We don't do videos often except for trailers and such, but it's a nice treat now and then, and WILL THE REAPER was a great candidate!
Typical stuffs: We don't own, we don't make money. This is for fun.

BestofSanTanValley.com Feature!
In all the hubbub and excitement of the BB:MFL premiere, I almost forgot something epic!
My beautiful hometown, San Tan Valley, isn't exactly well known just yet. Heck, some websites still don't even acknowledge us as a town. But one website is trying to change all that, and when they were looking for blogs based here, I submitted 3DF's. What I was not expecting was to have an entire feature article to be done about us!
San Tan Valley has Faith in Voice Drama
by Stacy Gramazio
"Some may say that the art of voice drama died with the invention of television, but many die-hard fans fight to keep audio drama relevant and interesting in this modern age. San Tan Valley is home to a nonprofit organization, 3DF Productions, who understand the beauty of this sometimes forgotten art form that allows an audience to “immerse one’s imagination in epic storytelling.” Local resident Faith Kelter is the mastermind behind this production company and wears many hats functioning as not only a talented voice over actress, but also a writer, director, and editor of her podcasts."

Our most humble thanks and appreciation to Ms. Gramazio and BestofSanTanValley.com for helping us spread the word. I encourage everyone to please go visit the site; it's a beautiful representation of a town that I've very much come to call home.
