4/26/04 - 12:58 PM - Probably won't be any updates until later in the week, possibly wed night, but more likely thursday sometime I'm just too bogged down with work, but then I'll have time to put up some more video probably and Wed. is my birthday!!

4/22/04 - 7:02 PM - here is the same file as below but in a sligthly more managable size, as one would expect the video and audio quality suffered slightly but you still get the idea. Opening monologue small video.

4/22/04 - 6:31 PM - Added more footage and some more dialogue bringing the scene up toa bout 1 min 15 sec. It's the opening monologue so unfortunatley it only had one of the three actors speaking but I'll get to that in good time. This is a much bigger file but I'll post a smaller lower res version in a bit. Anyway here it is Opening scene W dialogue. Please post your comments and impressions on the message board or by E-Mail.

4/22/04 - 4:36 PM - I uploaded a much higher quality version it's just alot bigger then the other one so unles you're on broadband don't bother trying to download it. This fixes the problems I assume some might have with the other clip being too dark and this is higher resolution. High res sound test.

4/22/04 - 4:24 PM - I was expecting an unpdate sooner in the week but I got pummeled with homework and other inconvienences. But I set aside some time today to work and I haev an update version of the clip from the post on the 15th. This version has more footage, more FX and drum roll please, the first version of dialogue. It's only about three sentances of the dialogue. I also haven't tweaked it to sound exactly how we want but it gives you an idea. So here we go Second sound test. I should have another update ready by the time the day is out.

4/15/04 - 6:00 PM - Well I decided to add some audio to one of the scenes. I sampled some jet noises and stuff like that and added it to a short clip of video. It's the scene when the ship launches the probe at the very begining of the movie. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks and sounds, the video is lower quality to keep the file size down but the point is how it works with the audio and I like it alot. I'll do more next week including some scenes with dialogue and FX hopefully. So here ya go the first clip with audio Probe Launch With Audio

4/15/04 - 4:55 AM - I went ahead and redesigned the Relics of Creation project site being that it was kind of weak before. I added some of the better looking screenshots and re-wrote the synopsis. I'll add a few more screenshots to it now and then as I get some other nice ones. Clips with audio probably coming up next week.

4/13/04 - 5:22 PM - Moved the camera back behind the lab to give a broader sense of what the whole area looks like with the new rubble and the lab and water and well everything in the scene. This should help to give a little better sense of scale to the scene. Robots arrive and statue Wide view.

4/13/04 - 11:40 AM - Ok the render of the scene from the previous post is done now. This actually serves two purposes one it always looks a little diferent when you factor in movement and reflection from the robots moving and two we are experimenting with what resolution to use in the final product. I believe we're deciding between 4 or 5 resolutions this is rendered in 720 X 540 which is standard NTSC (Never the same color) hehe never get tired of taht joke. Anyway here it is Robots arrive at statue (720 X 540 test)

4/13/04 - 3:38 AM - I just noticed after looking at the two preceeding pictures that while I know the buildings are very far away it's extremely dificult to tell that those buildings are the same size as the ones earlier in the film and they are just a good distance away. I'll have to either move them closer, add ruble in between the robots and the building to give scale, or go to sleep and fix it tomorow and guess whcih is winning. Good night.

4/13/04 - 3:33AM - Ok I fized it up a bit still some texture tweaking as always but this is render is a bit better. Updated Robots at statue scene.

4/13/04 - 1:40 AM - Quick update. The lab area has some rubble from old buildings where there was just sand dunes before. It's early yet but this adds a little more to the scene instead of it just being sand and stuff. Hopefully I'll have the sky fixed and a better render. Robots aproaching statue with NEW improved rubble.

4/8/04 - 2:38 PM - No movie updates at the moment, been relaxing on my break here so I'll be updating some stuff around the lab area and adding some sound to a couple of scenes later this week possibly but more likely next week. In the meantime I did make a new shirt in the store, right now it's only in Sweatshirt but I'll have a girl's shirt and a couple other guy's ones. It's a little refrence to Top Secret and I think it's awesome not to give myself credit hehe. Anyway Here's the sweatshirt check out the main store for other versions. Skeet Surfing Sweatshirt.

4/2/04 - 2:51 AM - Setup an initial scene of the robots in the lab. This will end up being one of the last locations of the movie so I decided I'd set it up just to give an idea of what it looks like. There's gunna be lots more work on this because I want it to be really nice, being it's the last thing you'll see. So here's an early screen shot of the robots in the labratory. Robots in lab.

4/2/04 - 12:26 AM - Well sorry no April fool's joke I as being lazy all day then went to the Giant's game so that was just about the end of that. I just noticed the message board has been broken for some time so I think I got that all fixed up so post away. Also the March posts have been moved to the archives section, if you haven't seen them there are lots that are pretty cool. March 2004 archives
