-October 2004 10/14/04 - 5:28 PM - A little screenshot here of the engine room where the robots are having their little conversation This just gives an idea of scale and blocking for the scene.Screenshot of engine room conversation. 10/12/04 - 12:46 AM - Just checkin in so everyone knows that everything is going well. Still doing final renders and blocking to the final cuts of the audio. We are about 1/4 maybe 1/3 through with final cuts. Having to come up with lots of little filler shots to bridge gaps and redo camera angles, etc. Everything is going pretty smoothly though and the movie is on target for about 15-17 minutes as we expected maybe a little longer. So thanks for checkin in and hopefully I'll have something new for you guys to see, but the fact I don't have anything new means everything is going smoothly =). I'll also probably be putting up more prototypes and things for the other movie although it is a very long way off solely because of the scale of it. Hopefully after the current movie is done I will be able to get alot of new stuff up and running and (insert tri-monthly promise to renovate and spruce up website). And I suppose since every other website in the world is doing it I too will encourage everyone to vote, just inform yourself first for god's sake. Anyway away from that rubish Everything here is going well my laptop is back in hand (was broken and being replaced for 3 weeks) so I'm a happy camper again. In the next few months I'm probably going to completely overhaul my PC because it is pretty antiquated gettin on 5 years old and just realized I only have 512MB of RAM which looking at the animations I don't how the thing hasn't burst into flames. I better get myself a harddrive to back this sucker up on before it does burst into flames. To any news viewers please feel free to view all the archives there's lots of stuff there to see. Other then that I will try and check back in with progress updates sometime soon, take care all and I hope to hear from you all. -September 2004 9/17/04 - 2:44 PM - Here's a little clip of the prototype in action. Again the gun is not done and it's un textured but it shoes how it loads and fires adn tehn ejects the casing. Nothing too flashy but I assure you it will be ;-) Daybreaker video. 9/17/04 - 1:33 AM - OK well I had to do a little work on the prototypes for the next movie so I made the platform for the rifle used by one of the characters. There is alot more stuff to be added to this weapon but it gives you a general idea. Here's three screenshots but I'll put up a little video that gives a better idea about it. Rifle from muzzle , Rifle from profile, and Rifle ejecting round. 9/16/04 - 3:23 PM - Hello all, just checkin in so ya'll know I'm not dead. Movie is still rollin along but we're still goin for picture lock so no real updates. We may be starting work on a documentary but it's still in very early research phases. I might do a little conseptual modeling for the next film and if I do I'll post it but otherwise hang in there the film will be done before you know it. Nothing else of note at the moment so take it easy all. -August 2004 8/19/04 - 10:15 AM - Well no screenshots today just a post. The movie is going well. The reason there are no updates is because the movie is pretty much done. All the scenes that are going to be added have been and we're going for picture lock. I'm about half way through final renders of the footage. I might through up a couple screenshots if I put in new angles or anything like that, but for now it's all in past posts. So a couple more weeks then it's on to Dan for sound and editing. 8/5/04 - 11:13 PM - Two screenshots now One is from the robots walking through the map room and the other is of the robots jumping off the ship towards earth. Robot jump off the other is Map room walk. Contents © 2004 Matthew Hickman
