The End.

C'est fini. I've finished the film! Woohoo! :-D

Will post more stills when I've had sleep.

Sacred Tissue of Cleanliness.

Leading up until the climax of the film.

Quick Entry. Do not pass GO.

Greets again, quick entry of what my title card is going to look like:



More images to follow. Getting closer to the finish line...

Friday it is then...

Ok, well last Friday went a little better than expected. Even though my film wasn't finished in time for the presentation, the scenes I did have completed I got just amazing feedback from people. It made me feel that I was on to something - and I've now just got to keep going and get finished for the final final deadline which is this Friday, which is the DVD manufacturing day.

So while I hurry and try and finish all the shots I have to do left, I thought I would post up some more final rendered shots.

Here is a shot near the beginning of the film, which involves Doug finding a coin from his coin organiser.



The next is a shot when he discovers the dirty restroom.



The next two shots are him trying to find something to wipe his bum with.





So I have a production pack to get finished for Wednesday and the actual film to get finished for Friday. Lots to do, so I've got late access (again) for this week. Yayness \o/

Throwing them out there.

So, here are some final render shots, without compositing.





Hope people like! I'm animating like a bitch right now - and rendering while I'm animating. Trying to get everything done for this Friday, then I have another week to polish things for the DVD hand-in. Joy.

Light. Oh, light. Ooooooh Light. Oh Light. Dodo, dododoooo.

So, 've been working on lighting. I forgot how much of a bitch it was to get it spot on.

Now, I LOVE Final Gathering. Love it, love it, love it. It makes things pretty. I like pretty things.

Unfortunately, as with most pretty things in life (computers, women, cars) they cost a lot to use and maintain. Final Gathering as such, is one of these things. A single frame with my current light setup costs me 20mins a FRAME to render. This was totally unacceptable.

I decided to try and 'fake' Final Gathering with a well placed point light. It seems to have worked to a small degree, while only costing my 3mins to render. A HUGE discount.

Here are 2 examples so far.





I hope people like. It's a lot of insane Photoshop work.

Further Set WIP

So, it's 3AM and I'm still working on my set.

Here is the update:



Working on the new and updated new cubicles, one of which you can see at the bottom right.

I should be finished it tomorrow. Hopefully. Maybe.
