521 HITS It's time for the december update. Last month has been very productive
in means of compositing. Donkey is halfway the process of finishing the
last scenes of the movie and I'm currently halfway the 6 min scenes I
talked about last month. So we've definitely made a good progress. Our
goal is to finish a rough composited version by the end of this year so
this leaves us with another 3/4 weeks. It'll be hard because the
christmas holiday is around the corner. But on the other hand we are
highly motivated because Justin will be working on the music starting
beginning of next year. So we really need to get it locked down.
Where
do we go from there? First thing we'll do is tweaking and fixing the
compositing into a final version. We really feel that the visuals need
to be finally ready. This will take us probably the first 2/3 months of
2008. In that time we will also start preparing for the final soundmix.
We will need another few months for this to be completed. And this
brings me down to the results of last months poll.
The results turned out to be very interesting. 45% of the visitors
really want the movie to be released in 2008 (no matter what). Well,
rest assured... that's what we are aiming for. 32% don't give a damn
when it's released. That's truly amazing because I never expected so
many people to be true fans of the project. 15% of the visitors think
we are way over schedule and should have finished the movie ages ago
and a minority of 6% are fed up with the delays. We had a total of 185
votes which I think is pretty amazing. So I want to thank all of you
that voted and I've started a new one. This time we're questioning
about the size of the movie. Are you willing to download a huge file
for the best visual experience or do you want to see it rather in low
quality? Cast your vote now!
And with this update Donkey has
prepared another compositing vid. I think you guys will love it because
this is another fine example how much work goes into the process.
Congrats rithvik!!
