I'm down to three more!  

Elisabeth Harnois
Ken Page
and Robert Barry Fleming

I wrote a message to Robert without sending it last night about doing an interview with me but I was too nervous to send it.

But when I finish up the cast page, there's just one other thing I need to do, and it's draw a picture frame. Once I've done that, I'm going to scan it, make it different colors, tilt it at a couple different angles, and then use them to frame all the cast photos. They're going to be real life photos, but I think it will ease them better into my all-hand-drawn layout with the frames. Plus people want to see them as themselves, I think. There was simply no way around live action photos from time to time.

If I'm persistent, it'll be done doing cast later tomorrow! And then I enter December needing to do only two more pages, one of them already significantly worked on.

(R here)

You should totally do the interview! Don't forget that actors and such are vain folk who like their egos stroked ;-) Seriously, they'll be happy to know that their work has a footprint.

If phone/skype/whatnot interview is impractical or daunting, just by email will do.

Good idea to keep the portraits as photographs, as visitors too would want to see the actors' real faces. To have some contrast with the rest of the site (and to overcome difference in tone/quality) I would suggest turn them into black&white...

Good luck - it looks like the end is in sight!

When you're done, have a think of how you can bring this under the attention of the Disney folks, and how you can use it to further market yourself. Heck, you're allowed to dream - if there's a job at The Mouse in for you, it's worth thinking about...



(R here again, later… Comments are going screwy, so I'm editing them together into 1)

Meanwhile, your new job reminded me of this song...

I've got a weakness for '80s synth-pop, and it's a "Phantom and Christine" song too - "If it weren't for me, you'd be nothing! And now I want my recompense!"

pSHHH, oh, R!

I ended up going with 80% b/w photographs tinted with rosy/goldish color. The totally b/w made it seem like they were all dead. lmao This made it so they got to keep some of their colors but they were evened out and matched everything else still.

Oh, if he wants to do email questions, I'm all for it! Ironically, I never set into this whole interview thing hoping I would talk to them in person. When I started to ask them if they wanted to answer questions, they just started handing over their cellphone numbers and I couldn't say no. bwahaha I STILL have them, I just don't call them. They are a way social bunch, and you're right: they do like to be recognized for what they did, especially since it's now so obscure. The only one who doesn't seem to care is Reece, my Mr. Hare. He denies friend requests and ignores messages, even from me, and when he appeared for a Disney podcast with John (Hatter) it seemed only to be because John was there and they get along like two giggling schoolgirls.

Anyway, not sure who the site's for except the cast and crew. They themselves are Disney alumni and might pass it among their peers since it pertains to them, but it's hard to say to what lengths they would actually go. And also, not sure what my graphics would even mean to anyone besides us. I don't have hardly any information about myself on the site, just a contact link.
