The Race Is ON!

It would appear that students being students, even with a (slightly tempremental) Render Farm have to leave all their work to the last day!  I'm glad to say we've managed to do most of our rendering now - even if some we are having problems with some of the Glitches going on in there is no longer time to re-re-re-re-re-render them again so we'll have to make do with what we have.  Its not hte best animation as its VERY rushed but as we are not marked on this side of the piece, and majorly on the environment I'm fairly happy with the outcome.  Tomorrow the team minus Simon as he's away in Wales will be finishing off the final renders tomorrow and choosing what makes it into the final render, with sound and with fades and transitions.  The titles I have FINALLY finished I think and hope... just waiting to check the render... Came out ok but I can't quite tweak this one thing which is REALLY annoying....but hey....It's ok...guess I'd just like it the best it CAN be....Ach! Nevermind...I'm tired...and have to get some sound FX together now.... Alec and I stayed behind and got a few more recorded sound effects for different areas using different materials... just trying out different things.  Was fun and pretending to be a pirate is always a laugh!!! HARghArrrghARGH!!!! A few Videos from it :D

  

I think we're going for the whole story as well which will be nice - I think Alec is starting to believe we can finish this which is a MAJOR bonus as he'll crack on now a lil harder - only about 2 shots left to do and we've rendered and converted most to AVI's.

I'm just so glad Alec is bringing in his Laptop with C&C Red Alert 2 on as Simon and I are rendering a lot and therefore freezing our computers and the Render Farm takes ages to que and we need to test so we're on and off 5 minutes at a time.

Its all down to the last day now.  5 o'clock hand in.... LETS DO IT!!!
