Thanks to my producers! ^_^ You!
So after a little over a week we have raised over %50 of the money thanks to:
Ian
Ricky
Thorgin
Tyson
Bob
Jemilla
Brad (donated 2x yer crazy! ^ ^)
Ed
Zach
So thanks to you awesome generous people for supporting studio strange we got to $1,368.00 or the $2,000.00 BUT thats enough for Endika to get the gear he NEEDS to get working on the score and sound design... the other $600 is planned for some fancy ribbon mic he used once and said was awesome for strings... So I transferred the money to my bank account as you can see in the image and I will write him a check today as I leave for my Xmas break tomorrow... I've been getting dizzy a lot while working so I should prob take it easy for a LITTLE BIT (3 weeks) then come back twice as fast ^ ^
So as YOU are my producers I want to show you something so that you know I'm not wasting the money on whatever less hardcore "filmakers" waste money on...
So far I have finished animating 7 sequences of the films 41 sequences... 5 of those sequences have rendered and I will be editing them on my break... I'm also re-storyboarding ALL of the fight scenes on my break as well.... Sequence 4 is finishing rendering right now and I'll dump that in but when I took this capture its not there... that sequence is only like 2 minutes though... I finished animating seq 7 but its rendering and not ready for edit yet...
SO those are unedited sequences... so I imagine I'll shave a minute or two off of each one... Originally I was worried I'd be able to do 20 minutes of animation before my Xmas break BUT it seems I did over 60 minutes!!! 0_0 Sequence 7 is another 5 minutes.... So i did over an hour over WIN FULL 3d character animation in 3 months... thats like awesome as I'll prob make a 4 hour film now or release 2 films at once... I already have an idea how to do that and make it all suite...I'm really excited about the release concept and it makes total sense with the narrative.... So yeh I did 7 sequences = hour... and there are 41 sequences... AND its not slow at all... The script is 97 pages but as I'm animating I've added a lot more... SO YOU MIGHT GET TWO M DOT STRANGE ANIMATED FEATURE FILMS AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR!
There are 41 sequences but they vary greatly in length.... Seq2 is actually the longest one in the film.... BUT knowing the material and how things are working out... its going to be too long for one film... So I'll probably split it into two....
But yeh I hope that assures how that I am working hard and doing my best for yall... again, MEGA THANKS for all your help and support... and in a year from now EVERYTHING on both these films should be Completed.
Best wishes, dizziness and aching wrists from your pal M dot Strange.
