The title says it all. But, do I plan on quitting?! No way. This is to fun. Here we are, over 6 months into production, and I have yet to animate a scene. Hell, I dont even have a fully rigged characters. With that said, I couldn't be more happy with how things have gone so far. True, a bit slower then Ide like, but things are developing wonderfully. The screenplay is done, the 22 minute detailed animatic is done, the preliminary voice overs are done, the characters are modeled and textured, the environments are modeled and mostly textured, all the body rigs are complete. Things arnt so bad. The problem, really, is that this thing is so huge. So ambitious.
So, what left?
I have to finish modeling and texturing the environments. There is still a lot of work left in that department. We're talking about 10 heavily detailed environments. A forest, a neighborhood, an insane asylum, etc.
I have to create the head rigs for all 6 characters. The game plan is laid out. This area is much more important then it was in my past film. These fellas talk!
Animation. Lots of dialogue, lots of action, lots of work. I have 2 animators already interested in helping out. Both extremely talented. The problem is, I simply dont have any work for them to start. Soon i hope. I dont want to loose these guys.
Lighting. Most environments are still not lit. Im going for lots of atmosphere in this film. Fog, rain, underground caves, etc. Lighting is important and will be a large task. One I look forward to.
And much more =)
Radicool!
