I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 302 Frames Finished
4:11 AM, Sunday, December 20th. ๐๐โฏ๐we๐๐ฏ๐ฮฝe๐.co๐
Animation Studio, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
The night was cold and most people were sleeping by that time.
After all, the sun would rise in a few hours on that Sunday morning, and most people used this day to sleep late.
But there was at least one different person, Theo was seated on his chair with his full concentration on work.
His posture was straight, head lowered, eyes lowered, and hands danced throughout the table.
He was drawing the last frames of his animated music video, and he could not afford mistakes.
And he had been doing that since he arrived home from the restaurant last night.
Last night's dinner with his friends was great, he had lots of fun as he enjoyed the good food with those people.
But he could not stay for long, that's why he and Aurora were the first to leave.
And when they arrived at their home, Theo immediately went back to work while Aurora went to sleep.
She wanted to go to bed earlier because she wanted to wake up early the next day.
That was because she wanted to study for her final exams for the whole day, after all, she already recorded the song with her brother, so she didn't have to worry about that anymore.
She would focus on her exams for the whole day.
While Aurora was sleeping in her bedroom, Theo spent that cold night in his animation studio working.
He was determined to finish drawing all the frames before he went to sleep.
That's why he was awake past 3 am, the time he used to go to sleep the last few days.
But today he didn't have to train with the girls, so he could use sleep later than usual and it wouldn't be a problem.
Suddenly, Theo's hands stopped their motion and he released a tired sigh.
He had been awake for almost 4 hours, so it was understandable if he was tired.
But even through his fatigue, Theo showed a happy smile on his face.
That was because he finally finished drawing the last frame of the animation!
After working for more than 3 days and going to sleep late every night, the first huddle of the animation production was done.
He looked at the last drawing he made with shining eyes, he was one step closer to making his crazy idea a reality.
"Sylph, show me all the drawings by the order they were made." He asked as he leaned back on his chair and relaxed.
He wanted to check every drawing to see if there were any mistakes, if there were, he would draw the wrong frames all over again.
But he was not in the mood to look at everything himself, so he asked Sylph to do it for him, and she was happy to oblige.
As soon as he said that, the drawing on the digital drawing table changed.
It became the first frame that Theo draw.
Just like that, Theo spent half an hour checking the almost 3 thousands drawings he made the last few days. ๐ณ๐ง๐๐w๐ฒ๐n๐๐ซ๐๐ญ.๐om
But even after spending half an hour checking it, he only was able to inspect a few hundred frames.
That was because he needed to inspect every detail of the frame to look for mistakes, and that obviously took time to accomplish.
So far, he hadn't found anything wrong, but he did not low his attention.
He was about to continue inspecting when he suddenly received the notification of a new mail in his inbox.
Theo was curious to see who was the one sending e-mails to him so late at night, so he asked Sylph to open the mail for him.
But when he saw who it was, his curious eyes shone with excitement.
The mail was from Arthur, and Theo already knew what was in it.
The footage of the 'Save Your Tears' music video!
Theo looked at the clock and was surprised that Arthur sent the footage so late.
"Could they have finished the shooting only now?" Theo asked out loud in curiosity.
He was once again happy with Arthur and his crew's work.
He really needed the footage this Sunday to edit it, and Arthur and his crew were able to film the music video in less than 4 days!
Theo was certain that if he ever decided to produce a music video in the future again, he would hire Arthur's crew again.
Thye did an amazing job in the 'The Scientist' music video, and he was sure that they did the same for the other two productions.
"Sylph, send their payment." He said with a smile on his face.
Theo was about to inspect the footage when suddenly a yawn couldn't help but escape from his lips.
Sleepiness hit him hard.
"I guess I should sleep for a couple of hours." He said out loud as he stretched his stiff body on the chair.
He put away his work before standing up and walking out of the studio.
Theo walked through his silent house in that cold Sunday hour.
He still had on the clothes that he wore to go to the restaurant, so as he walked toward his bedroom, he decided to take a shower before sleeping.
As he walked upstairs, he observed the cold night outside.
Even though the outside seemed freezing, his whole was still warm.
He remembered his days at the orphanage when Winter arrived.
It was always horrible and awesome at the same time.
Horrible because sometimes it was too cold and the orphanage didn't have enough structure to warm everyone.
And awesome because he loved playing in the snow with his brothers and sisters. Lighting up a fire and toasting some food on the fire. Drinking warm chocolate.
Several memories surface in his mind as he ascended the stairs.
He made peace with his past after he wrote his book [Tree of Joy], but that did not stop him from remembering the times he spent with his brothers and sisters.
"After I launch the album and the music videos, I should visit the orphanage with Aurora again." He said as he arrived on the third floor.
Even though he wasn't able to visit the orphanage lately, he still sent donations every month.
He was sure that the matron made good use of the money and made enough preparations for the Winter.
Winter was a dangerous time for orphanages as children had higher chances of getting sick at this time of the year.
But with his donations, Theo was sure that the matron would make sure to keep the children warm and fed during this cold season.
"How about I throw a little party for them?" He said out loud with an excited voice and shining eyes.
He was sure that the kids would love it.
He could buy presents and cook some delicious food for them, and he could even bring them to play in one of the amusement parks in the city.
Theo had all kinds of ideas to throw the best party for the children as he entered his bedroom.
He took a long hot shower to relax his stiff muscles before he climbed on his comfy bed.
He turned off the lights and calmed his breath.
But as he fell asleep, his thoughts came back to the orphanage.
He would throw the best party of their lives, he could not wait to see their happy faces.
