Episode 4: It Came From Beneath The Streets of San Francisco

I’m back! My combination book tour/vacation was a blast but I’m glad to be back and doing what I love at the end of the day.

Well, here’s part 4 of my 3D animated movie with a 50s sci-fi style title, “It Came From Beneath the Streets of San Francisco”. In part 3, you met our protagonist Kathleen Sullivan, reporter for a tabloid paper called ‘Curiosity’. Of course, Kathleen hates her job! She’d rather write for a prestigious paper and win a Pulitzer but hey, right now, it pays for her knockoff Manolo Blahniks. So, in part 4she’s “forced” by her boss to sensationalize the horrific murder of a pregnant woman whose unborn baby was ripped from her stomach and is still missing.

You’ll notice that there is no captioning in this episode. No robotic sounding characters either because I did not use my text-to-speech software! Because of your continued support for my project, I was able to buy a voice modifying software that allows me to create multiple voices from a single voice talent: moi. Now, I’m no Meryl Streep so the dialogue delivery is still, uh, terrible, but there is now a bit of inflection and I promise to keep practicing…maybe even take voice classes so I can deliver these lines better. For now, I ask for your patience and understanding and hope you enjoy this latest labor of love.
