"Phobos" is finished.

Brikar · 11-22-2004, 08:30 AM

Clocking in at just under 12 minutes and 190mb. I guess I'm pretty proud of it, considering it took over a year to make. My shots vary wildly in quality - some are really great, some are pretty groanworthy.

I'm kind of upset that I couldn't find some of the shots I rendered over the summer. They must've been on my girlfriend's computer or something... So they didn't get into the movie. Too bad, I was pretty proud of those.

Continuity between shots is an issue. Not just a lighting issue, either, hehe, though my lighting continuity is horrendous. If I had actually planned this project instead of just doing it kinda freeform, I wouldn't have had those problems.

There's some jumpy music editing, and my lack of good-quality sound effects comes through every now and then, but I'm pretty proud of my sound mix in the end. It's in stereo, with some pretty cool left-right or right-left pans in there. Too bad I don't have 5.1 capability. That would have been ace.

I think for my next project I'm going to try and finish my fan edit of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier". I've already done a number of shots that are just sitting on my hard drive, might as well make use of them. Of course, that means I have to actually finish the models I need to make for it. I've rebuilt that STUPID shuttle like 8 times....

Are you going to share?

Brikar · 11-26-2004, 02:34 AM

I'll share. I'm trying to see if I can make it smaller.

Bean · 11-26-2004, 02:38 AM

Yes, share quickly before it goes the way of *Title will not be mentioned*.

Brikar · 11-27-2004, 04:01 AM

*Shakes fists at Bean* It wasn't my fault! My drive got wiped!

Bean · 11-27-2004, 04:54 AM

I restrained myself. I was just really looking forward to the *Unamed project*. It's like knowing you could have seen the "lost episode" from TNG but missed out because of a computer glitch, it's frustrating

Brikar · 12-21-2004, 02:35 AM

Huh... for some reason, I can't seem to get the file size lower than 190mb. Even when I lower the compression and render out a new file, it always says it's 190mb, and never looks any worse. I don't get it. Maybe something's wrong with my settings somewhere.

Bean · 12-21-2004, 03:49 AM

My bandwidth can handle 190 megs, Arik?

Arik · 12-21-2004, 01:30 PM

I think I offered to host it a while back.

Brikar, let me know.

Brikar · 12-22-2004, 04:32 AM

Lay on, McDuff! Tell me how.
