     But don't go away yet! Throughout the rest of today, we'll update this post when new auditions and contest entries are submitted. In addition, we're unveiling some new artwork and making announcements LIVE! That's right, to keep you in the loop, we'll fill you in on news AS IT HAPPENS! Stay tuned for more information!

(3:23 PM PDT) The voice files for Elizabeth Scarheart's auditions as Nya and Laura Brick were just received and have now been filed with the other auditions. We look forward to having you once again work with us on our films!

(4:53 PM PDT) The day is drawing to a close, so get those entries in! In the meantime, our next Poster Madness poster is here, hot out of the design studio!

     This one is for Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen, a play performed by the Cornerstone Thespian Society in 2006. One notable change made to the play was the addition of a prologue and epilogue featuring an old pirate (officially, it's an older version of Roger Goodman, the play's protagonist). This poster embraces this change by featuring the old pirate as storyteller that is able to vocally weave the images that seem to appear out of the mist beneath him. Even the tagline is pulled right from the character's dialogue. Don't forget to check back for more live updates!

(5:36 PM PDT) We have some bad news. Due to an acute lack of enthusiasm for the project and the fact that it is taking away from everything else we're doing, Between Takes Set Reviews has been canceled. We've decided to become more focused in our content and narrow it to animation. However, we would also like to announce that we will be on a ten-day vacation in August! There won't be much activity during that time, but we will be updating the Vacation: Unlimited Travel Journal with photos and stories as the vacation progresses. More details will surface in the coming days.

(6:05 PM PDT) We're going to take a short break from updates for part of the evening, but we'll leave you with a schedule of updates for this weekend and next week.

• August 1: Next Ask Mark Matthew.
• August 3: Private Committee Day - Event not publicly available.
• August 5: The Quest for Canonization results and final casting decisions.

Have a good night and be sure to get those entries in before midnight!

(8:51 AM PDT, August 1, 2015) After an evening out, we've received Marcus Hutchinson's entry for The Quest for Canonization. At this time, we are no longer accepting entries for the contest and this round of auditions. Like mentioned before, we will announce the results on August 5. This post will no longer be updated.
