thesis: due date countdown – motion graphics

2007-04-23T01:52:42Z

So with four days away until due date, I'm going to start doing a run down of the elements in this film. Mostly to show what they are, but also a bit of discussion as to how these pieces fits (or doesn't) within the project. First off the motion...

Thesis: Final push

2007-04-22T21:46:03Z

The past few days have been a lesson in learning when to call it quits. For all intents and purposes, I've been done with this project for two weeks. The good thing about this is that I have ample time to tweak and get feedback on the piece, of c...

Thesis: Color work

2007-04-17T05:20:47Z

Ok the color situation is stressing me out a little. I've definitely found two styles that I really like, each style works better in some scenes than others. As with the one above, the cooler tones I like more, I think it has to do with the sky...

Thesis: Completetion - Version 1a part 1

2007-04-16T10:50:52Z

With 10 days to go before thesis due date, I find myself at an odd situation. I'm done, and have been for a few days now. This is new to me, very very new to me. I've been known to be the type of person who's always stressing out, working down to...

Thesis: mental

2007-04-10T07:36:02Z

And so it's on. Basically now other than the end scene where I am still having problem with getting the camera move to work, all my scenes are locked and it's pretty much all rendering from now on. I'm a little annoyed that I had to move my proj...

thesis: closing in

2007-04-08T20:52:55Z

It's getting close to due date, things are moving along, not as well as I hoped but good enough for what it is now. I was hoping to make the soft deadline of April 10th, it's still possible but following the better judgment of personal wellbeing,...

thesis: off kilter

2007-03-28T09:49:37Z

About 24 hours ago I was writing about this render. I'm still writing about this same render... granted it's actually working now, but it took way too long to figure out just what was wrong with it. Memory issues... This scares me a bit, knowing ...

thesis: ren ren when?

2007-03-27T08:34:57Z

I guess it's a good thing that I'm getting to the stage where I'm doing production level rendering at this time of the process, it's good to get an idea as to how long things are going to take in the final render. It's odd when you think about th...

thesis: render one

2007-03-20T04:58:57Z

Above is a frame from a production resolution mental ray test render of my thesis. While it's still ways to go, I'm so happy as to how it came out. There are some edge buzzing issues that I'll have to address in my next render test, but as of now...

Thesis: In good form

2007-03-09T02:23:57Z

After a period of a complete lack of progress, things are once again moving forward and in the right direction. Getting the proper green screen shoot in the can is a good feeling, and having the live action plates to work with is great, as I can ...
