M doll is "in the can" as they say
I just finished rendering the last shot of the 1 hour 55 minute film
M doll is certainly my strangest feature film 0_0 I didn’t hold back on this one ^_^
HERE’S! THE FINISHED FILM IN ITS ENTIRETY!
The visual part of M doll is now complete- Its the best looking and best “animated” film I’ve ever made- I added the ““ because I didn’t animate any character stuff really- from being an animator I know what I want and what looks good- I just used pre-made animations and tweaked/combined them to get what I wanted- its IDGAF Filmmaking-
It felt good to tick off the final tasks in Git Kraken
The film took me 89 days of production to complete
I averaged 1.29 minutes of finished/rendered film per day
The slowest sequence had me at 0.92 minutes/day
The fastest one had me at 2.39 minutes/day
M doll is the first animated feature film made entirely in the Unity game engine
Nobody knows I exist, really- nobody knows about the film outside of a small handful of people- but I don’t care-
My work probably won’t be “discovered” by pretentious art/film douchebags until after I’m dead- but I don’t care about that either haha-
I’ve had so many people tell me “your work belongs in X modern art gallery” blah blah blah- I guess I was supposed to kiss their asses or pretend to care what they think to make that happen but I didn’t because I’M MAKING THINGS HERE MAAAAAAN 😂
I’m not here to make shiny things and stand around and admire them- I’m not here to try and impress people or to try to get attention- I’m playing an entirely different game-
I don’t give a fuck about fame or followers or whatever - I don’t care about film festivals or movie studios or talent agencies or any of that nonsense-
I’m not trying to sell this film to Netflix or Amazon or whatever- I don’t give a shit about any of those lame ass platforms
I stand for and represent IMAGINATION- the power of IMAGINATION to create high quality ORIGINAL works with high technology faster and cheaper than anyone else on the planet 😝
Thanks to my dude Brad for building the PC I made M doll with- it tore through the scenes and renders-
Now imma go play a game of Nuclear Throne to end my work day-
Tomorrow I’ll do a pass fixing mistakes in a few shots that bugged me-
Next week I’m going to watch the film on my projector and make notes on the composition as I might redo some shots that need more work for the big screen-
When you design on a small screen(computer monitor) you tend to frame things too tightly- watching it on a bigger screen for the first time always feels like the shots are too tight-
The strange show of imagination rolls on 😆
