According to what he said, that only 8 of the 28 scenes are done rendering and are ready to be edited into the video, which means he is nowhere near done making the vid and you should expect this vid to come out next month. I doubt he does any sort of storyboarding and scripting, so he'll probably end up redoing most of the vid as he has no clear direction for the story.Maybe he'll go lighter on the title cards and use a bit more narration (like the start of NW1). Still I don't see other way to get the story across, if it is over an hour I expect 20 min of story at a minimum. As long as more than half the runtime is actual animation I don't see the issue.
ALSO since you're familiar with editing may I make a question: Sum said that 8/28 scenes had their final render, meaning that they're ready to be edited for the final video, also 90% of voice work is done; so can Sum start making the final video with those renders as they come out or is it better to have all the parts?
I'm asking this assuming Sum has 2 PCs but I'm probably wrong.
I have no clue as to what his workflow is or what else may be going on in his life, but he is most certainly dragging ass and anchor to get this done if this is his only job that he does. When I cant get projects done, it's due to college or work and bills wont pay themselves. If it were me, he should've had ALL the vids done so that the VAs can properly lip sync instead of trying to fit the puzzle pieces together like a newborn toddler.
Im sorry bruddahs, but expect it to come out next month as he was supposed to be done with the videos already. He lied to everyone again. The last I checked SFM doesn't exactly need rendering as the program exists as a game engine and video editing tool at the same time, thus renders content live and all you need to do is save the clips. (This is according to what I know when I played around with SFM 4-5 years ago and found it difficult due to my ancient PC at the time struggling to process the scenes while editing).
