Bleh

Well, I haven't posted for a while, the reason behind that is simple. For now, I've lost motivation to work on my current project. It doesn't mean that I'm dropping it. The release is postponed and that's it.
Right now I'm learning 3D modelling in ZBrush. It's a great tool and after learning it I will be able to use it to improve my quake videos as well as start making my own 3d models and animation (with some additional software). I really want to get into this kind of stuff and express myself.
Quake videos have a very niche audience, whereas CG art scene is huge but at the same time very demanding (almost as demanding as ESR users ;))
So yeah, apart from my quake vids, expect some 3d content from me in the future.

Footage ready

Wooosh, it's been a month since my last post and I didn't work on the movie too much during this period.

But it's not that bad. Today I finished capturing the footage. I wanted to start working with vegas, but I encountered some problems, I'll deal with them tomorrow, probably will have to reinstall.

I want to render a preview off all of the frags and see about long much I can do with them (movie duration). I focus on the content, and I rejected so many frags already, damn.

Not sure if my post is making much sense, it's pretty late and I'm tired as hell.

Short break.

Capturing the footage from the demos made me excited about the movie again:) Gonna do my best!!

But unfortunatelly, I'll have to deal with some personal boring stuff releated to my university in the following days, so yeah gonna leave home for a couple of days. But when I'm back -> movie making full speed ahead :)

The Afterspray - summary

On 26th of August 2010, exactly a year ago, I released my last movie - The Afterspray. So far it's my most successful one. Let me give you guys some numbers. Over the past year it accumulated over 32000 views on youtube.com and over 18000 views on own3d.tv, that equals over 50000 views in total and counting.

The number of downloads isn't as big but considering that not everyone is collecting quake movies and, sadly, people tend to watch only the stream, which is totally not the same thing as watching it from your hdd, but almost 2000 downloads, which makes 5 downloads per day on average, is enough to make me happy. :)

The movie was posted on various sites in many languages and most of the comments were positive. There also was a little bit of constructive criticism and I'll use it while editing my current project, which, by the way, will be very different from afterspray, which I made thinking about making something that the community will like, this around time it'll be about using an original idea/theme for the movie that I thought it would be cool to work on.

Anyway, if you haven't seen The Afterspray yet, or you watched it a long time ago, it's a nice opportunity to watch it again :)
