Progress update
Good Saturday everyone! Time for another progress update - so what's new this week?
- We're deep in scene setup and posing now, and averaging 15+ poses/layouts a day, this includes lighting the shot.
- Layout is long because good cinematography takes time, eg: It's not just pointing a camera at our character. Rather, using the camera to invoke emotions plus generate interest.
- Rendering is taking place whenever I'm not at my machine to maximise uptime!
- My machine is slow however
there's a hard limit on numbers of renders per day.
- Typically this is the longest process for each release, taking up to 5 weeks sometimes. This is partially my fault because I do a ton of re-renders when I'm not happy with how a render looks. "Every frame a painting" is something I try my best to strive towards.
- Getting nice contrasts and silhouettes takes patience and time!
I estimate us to be about 10% done for renders, and going up by about 20% per week. The percentages are moving smaller each week because this update is a fair amount bigger!
Otherwise, this is the main gist of this week's progress. Everything is clipping along nicely and on schedule.
I'm holding back some nice surprises until I can get a better idea if we can pull it off on time, so watch this space!
Thanks for tuning in as always, and have a great weekend!
