Editing?.
2007-09-11 21:10:00 Since going back to school things have been greatly slowed down but that hasn’t stopped us from editing the entire movie. And the final run time is: 40 minutes! (Well actually 37 minutes but you know….) Rules of editing time: Don’t edit every scene individually then squash every movie file together. It’s a mess! Don’t edit a ... More About: Editing

Blender 3D rules!
2007-08-30 21:37:00 I’ve put up a 180 degree spin around the timeship from luck’s end. This is a shot in the movie (about half-way through) and it finished rendering a while ago and I’ve just managed to remember my youtube account’s password!

Accurate Storyboarding
2007-08-18 20:01:00 Yesterday me and Dave(Dave and I?) came up with the storyboards for the final scene left to be filmed for Luck’s End. We’re hoping it’ll turn out since it ties many loose ends up and, in many ways, could make or break it. No pressure. In other scenes when I drew storyboards, I would just read ...

How to buy costumes with a low budget
2007-08-17 17:52:00 Obviously having only a few hundred to spend is a big deterrant to having a costuming budget. So what can you do with no money to make a movie’s characters look as if they we’re actually wearing something that the story would call for? (For example time agents would not wear logo jeans.) Well we did ... More About: Production , Budget , Costumes
