As you may have read, I am working toward installing a Sound Stage in my studio. Now, as I am taking title to the property, which consists of four buildings, I am planning on some changes to Building Two. It will take time, but I'm beginning to plan out the installation of a recording studio. One that will be large enough for an orchestra. It probably will need to be flexible, with adjustable partitions or maybe a few separate rooms. I'll post my floor plans when that moves forward.
Print Shop
The Gnomes of New Hope: Zach & Zebby's Illustrated Storybook requires publishing. It's a Seven Book Collection. If we sell even 10k of each book, that 70k books. My objective is to maintain on-demand capabilities and to avoid a large inventory of books. If demand calls for higher quantities, management of that demand will be jobbed out to a larger organization. My only criteria is that the content and design remains unaltered, including the hand-stitched cover.
Machine shop
I can design and manufacture a stitching machine if necessary, since I am also working on setting up a machine shop for the animatronics. That shop already exists, it was founded by my grandfather, it will only need reduction from a production shop and modification for my purposes as a prototype shop. Plus, I have my own puppet and automotive shop underway and functioning.
That's it for now. AG
