I'm back from SDCC! Totally exhausted of course, but we had a great time!
The Futurama panel went really well. They showed the first act of Crystal's show, which featured Fry's comic book and a visit to Comic Con! (They gave out Fry's comic at the booth during the convention, too!) Her episode also features a costume contest. Haha. :) They also showed some clips from a lot of unaired episodes including Stephen and my mind-switching episode. Can't wait for you to see that one! :)

The actual SDCC masquerade this year had a ton of really awesome stuff, it was definitely an "on" year. Anything Goes School of Martial Arts had an amazing Muramasa group, there was a jawdropping Mass Effect group (with an alien with moving mouth!), awesome cabaret girls, Disney Princesses, amazing armor, MOTHRA, AMP suit... all kinds of stuff. I didn't think we'd win anything because there was so much awesome there, actually! (Even though the girls put in an obscene amount of work on their Bioshock costumes.) But we won Best Worksmanship! WOW! We were lame and forgot to take any photos of our costumes all together,... so I'll have to show you what we looked like later.

I also got to see a lot of lovely people! I wish I'd seen even more... so I'm already planning to go back next year for more days and do my booth again, so yay!

I feel like I've crossed the finished line now with SDCC over with. I still have a lot of work left on storyboards for my last episode of Futurama, though, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel ( I'm still going to be a bit busy for a week or two.) And Costume College is coming up, but I'm not making anything new for that. My birthday is coming up soon, too (Aug 9th)! Onward into late summer!

Day 07 – Your Favorite Piece of Music

The Impossible Planet
The stringed instrument in this... it gives me chills from the first note. It fits the desolate feeling of being lost on this station... it fits the episode so well. One of my favorite episodes..., it was the last episode that Billy and David shot together as Rose and Ten (until s. 4)... I feel like it's the episode where you really feel them connect strongly. I got CHILLS multiple times in this episode.

A few others of my favorites:

Only Martha Knows -
This piece of music starts out almost childish... like a fairytale,... there's something magical and whimsical about it,... and then it ends with this dramatic flourish... slightly darker. So fitting for a fairytale. So fitting for the episode it goes with (Human Nature/ Family of Blood) which is one of my top 10 Doctor Who episodes, too.

Also from the same episode, Just Scarecrows to War, it sounds like it's an epic movie soundtrack... just as good as James Horner... that's something you can say about a lot of Murray Gold's soundtracks for Doctor Who and probably a good part of why we feel so emotionally invested in these stories, right?

Madame de Pompadour. Do I really even have to say anything about this?
