Topic: Holding Our Own Spin Off Production Log (UPDATE: EP 1 COMPLETE!)

Hi.
I've done some preliminary animation, to test my new reinforced camera brace.  I've done an animation sequence test, and it's pretty successful.  Still having lighting constitancy issues that will remain as long as I'm on the camera I'm using, which has limited manual featues in the dept.  The footage I shot may even be kept if I decide on Brent's hair color that I used when I filmed it.  Audio is complete as is the extra footage, already in Vegas Studio.  Hopefully, I'll have episode 1 ready in only a few weeks.

Did some basic animation; doing some more this wkend.  Hoping to have a total of 3 stock animation sequences, which should be enough to animate the entire video.

Animated stock animation sequence 3.  I'll be animating an exclusive animation sequence for episode 1 only.  I also did a green screen (actually green Lego) test and also am processing the audio, which has been completely recorded.

The spin-off concept is really intriguing me mini/smile

Re: Holding Our Own Spin Off Production Log (UPDATE: EP 1 COMPLETE!)

CJA, this show is going to be radically different from the main series, has less emphasis on plot, but takes place int he same universe as the main story.  It will be mostly about Brent (and a coworker whom I voice) so that I'll be able to do everything myself efficiently.  And Brent will be enlightening us with his never-to-be-humble comments and opinions.

It sounds all the more interesting now. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I'm midway thru the final animation sequence.  Had to stop for work so I told my wife not to let the kids touch the set until I return home.

The final sequence had too much camera lighting issues, so I shot it again this morning.

Still processing audio.  Doing about 20 mins on it per day every other day.

Hi!

August 26 Update:
In the past 2 days I animated 60% of the approximately 16-minute spin-off.  After that, there is some video editing that has to be done with greenscreen.  Actually, "green block" is more accurate, as I'm using a Duplo brick as the screen.  I will be able to use most of the animation in future episodes of the spin-off.  Also, since this is my 1st time doing this, a lot of the situations I'm encountering for episode 1 will be corrected, making future episodes much easier to animate.  These episdoes are designed to hold people over between episodes of the main series, which take a long time to make.

Re: Holding Our Own Spin Off Production Log (UPDATE: EP 1 COMPLETE!)

aw yiss i can't wait for this thing
hey dude be careful that you don't get reflections in your green block because then it will be harder to chroma key. that's why I prefer to use cardstock, it's not as shiny.

Re: Holding Our Own Spin Off Production Log (UPDATE: EP 1 COMPLETE!)

Hey.  I think I'm fairly okay with the green reflections.  The main problem is that I have a green plant and green floor that are being chroma keyed out somewhat.  Actually, it makes the floor a cool indigo, but the plant is another problem.  Sometimes the screen has a bit of variance, but I can blame it on bad editing on Steven, the character behind the camera in the spin-off, who is "producing" the series.

Re: Holding Our Own Spin Off Production Log (UPDATE: EP 1 COMPLETE!)

coolio! can't wait for it to be out!
(speakin of which do you have an estimate for when it might be finished?)

Re: Holding Our Own Spin Off Production Log (UPDATE: EP 1 COMPLETE!)

The project is all in post-production phase; Post-production is 96% completed.  Tomorrow, God-willing, I will post a few teaser trailers, followed later by a longer trailer, and I'll post the whole thing (16 minutes) in 2 parts starting next Wednesday.  You'll find it's something very different from the main series, while being part of the same universe.  Tomorrow animation for episode 3 of Holding Our Own begins.
