TRIVIA TUESDAYS with the NNQ Cast Questions for the Director:

1.) How did you become the director?

I became the director of the project after the previous director was let go for reasons I will not disclose. It is not my place to say anything. Hope you all can understand.

2.) How has your journey as the director affected your life? The journey has been quite the rollercoaster since taking over last October, but after almost a year of work, I would say we are in a good spot. Certainly has made my life a lot more interesting.

3.) How did you motivate everyone helping the project to continue work?

I've been trying to make sure due dates are adhered to, but never forcing people out for missing them. People seem to enjoy the freedom of the project, but also understand there is a timeline for most things.

4.) What do you do to stay calm when production doesn't go as planned? I just think about all the progress that has been done in just a year and think about all the progress that was not happening before hand. Helps me stay calm knowing the project is in such good hands now.

5.) I would personally like to give a special shout out to my best friend from college! @cboffshore Without you I wouldn't have learned about this amazing project! You are an amazing friend and hope we can hang out again soon! KEEP ON SPINNING!

That was the QNA for this week! Join us every week to see another cast or crew members QNA's! Hope you all enjoy hearing more about our amazing crew! - 🐍

Due to certain circumstances, I will be stepping down as director for the Ninjago Musical project.

I've been considering it for awhile (since the change to the pilots back in January) but a recent situation was the final nail in the coffin for me. I love you guys and I'll watch the project from a distance ❤️❤️

I'll still be writing music about Ninjago, but as part of Ninjago: Realm of Harmony ( @ninjagoroh )instead. This project, I started with my friend Morro/Winderful (@morro-the-true-green-ninja), a community of fans throughout all facets of the multimedia realm and more! It's not only closer to my initial and original vision for the musical project in terms of the season-related fanalbums, but leaves room for alternative universes and tributes of the underscore as well (which, also being a co-owner of the Ninjago Soundtrack Haven Server, felt right up my alley)! Much love, Zena Airale
