Its nearing the end of the term...and the end of the year, everyone on edge, blood pressure is high, our director Mr Harrison is suffering from a slight stress induced temporal memory loss.
The textures are all done, The modelling is all done, all thats left now is the animation, rendering and Post Production.
Myself, Chris and Ajdin are the Post production people so were gonna be after effecting the movie until the early hours. Our groups come a long way...sure weve had a few setbacks...and a few more even larger ones, its been a bit of a bumpy ride, but i think now that everyones feeling the pressure were starting to work more as a team. Some of us are using our tiny tiny tiny smidgen of spare time to fill our other folders, I began doing some animation tests on sophies skirt using different deformers and keying them whilst Natasha has been practicing the Dynamics that i taught her the other day. Mehmets breaking his back animating, Louis is working till the early early hours (he works whilst the sun sleeps) and Chris is finalising a texture.
The final few kinks we have now are the huge size and ammount of memory these scenes require, converting the textures from .TIFFS to 24 and 16 bit TGA files seems to decrease the memory burden on maya a tiny bit but nothing extreem.
Everyones a little worried about the movie, and we recieved some rather harsh yet honest words from Daniel Dali on Monday, and that seems to have put some people into shock induced work mode now ^_^ which is great, everyones powering onwards.
Good luck to you all guys.
Were gonna need it
