Production Log 01 (Where we stand.)
Well now that we have the new script up for keeping track of the production log lets start with getting every one up to date.
Things are finaly starting to come together now. Here is a list (I like lists) of some things that come to mind….
1. We have the script done and the narration all recorded.
2. I have had some experts look at the high definition work flow and said it would work fine.
3. The storyboards and visuals are being worked out to get the final shot list.
4. I am doing lots of tests to come up with the final animation technics to be used and this should be finalized this week. Then this will be used as a standard to setup each shot with.
5. Basic music choices have selected and priced. The good news is since we are using mainly the great classical music done by large orchestras and choirs it solves two problems. We get both great world class music and its cheap to license it.
So whats lacking? Well since this is a micro budget project money is always a problem. At the moment I am working on making some extra money to be able to buy Cineform’s Aspect HD. With a discount I found its $399 and we have to have it to do the HD video editing. We will also be needing Premiere cs3 and its running about $399 on ebay. These are my to most immediate needs.
I will also be needing more computer power for faster rending times etc. And I have already started working on this buying a Lian Li PC-V2000B case. This case is great for over clocking and has a huge amount of room for hard drives. I have also done the research and put together a top of the line cooling system. The next step is to buy the fastest Quad core system I can afford and to over clock. This will give me a huge improvement in render times without the added complication of a small render farm.
