  • The Producer’s Report #96
    Phil McCoy's Posts - Project London - 2009-12-12 18:00:00

    Last night at the Sunset, Half Acre Day played an epic set including all my favorite songs and a bunch of new songs destined to be new favorites. Great fun. This morning we listened to a few more tracks from Ed and Dan. We are winding down with syncing and scrubbing dialogue, really in fact, it's basically done. I'm now very anxious to get the ADR tracks into the timeline.

    Here are the stats:

    Status of Visual Effects (VFX) Shots:
    Number remaining: 45 (LESS THAN 50 Woot!)
    Number in progress: 7
    Number completed: 574
    Percentage remaining: 7.3%% (LESS THAN 10% WOW!!)

    Doom: "Two semi trucks full of dynamite falling off a cliff into lava in a preschool." (calculated by Ian)

    Projected date for completion of all VFX:
    24 January 2010 (based on projected time estimates of all tasks)
    9 February 2010 (based on spreadsheet items completed per week)

    This week’s recommendations:
    Ian: "Check your blind spot."
    Jen: "Thinkgeek.com" Where else can you get a USB powered doomsday device?
    Nate: "Lullaby" by The Cure. Creepy and good.
    Phil: "Ataque de Pánico! (Panic Attack!)" by Fede Alvarez. Amazing. Fun. Watch it.

    Cheers,

    Phil McCoy, Executive Producer

  • Anothe T-Shirt sale through RedBubble, Yipee!
    Starbright Illustrations (blog) - 2009-12-12 14:11:40

    Wow, I just sold another t-shirt on Red Bubble. Here is the page my t-shirt sold from. I had just about written RedBubble off as an avenue for getting my creativity, images and illustrations out there, but every half a year or so someone will actually purchase one of my pieces. This sale has brought the grand total of money I have earned from this site over the two years that I have been a member to fifteen ponds and a few pence. I know that doesn’t seem like a huge amount of money – it’ll pay the rent on my apartment for about ten minutes – but artistically every bit of encouragement helps.

    This is a real person, parting with real money for a t-shirt design that I created, and when you consider the enormous amounts of competition on the Internet in t-shirt sales, that’s pretty cool. And it also gives me something positive to write about in today’s post, rather than my latest battles with Puppy Linux – although they might be more enjoyable to read about, I must admit.

    It seems that I might have to think about investing more effort in this site again. It is quite time consuming to save my art in the huge format they require for a t-shirt, but it seems like they do sell. Every single t-shirt that has sold so far – all three of them – has featured a cute cartoon or comic book character; a space weasel, a fat little super hero and now a purple monkey, so it might be a good idea to revisit my RedBubble page and remove all the spaceships and killer robots and replace them with strange cute fat little monsters.

    Hmm.. might be fun.

  • Blender 2.5 r25326 – improved sculpt and much more
    Letwory Interactive - 2009-12-12 01:17:29

    Just a quick message. It’s been 8 days since my previous blog about a new build. During that time the development has anything but slowed down. As you can see from the title: 193 commits! That’s on average one commit for every hour. The devs are literally working around the clock, with Matt Ebb in Australia, Martin Poirier in Canada and the Durian team in the Netherlands (and every active developer in between those locations!) covering pretty much every moment of the day with their activities.

    Anyway, I’ve uploaded 32bit and 64bit builds to Graphicall.org again, so grab them, test them, and keep the reports coming in!

    Note, I have also links to my builds on Graphicall on the right of my blog ->

    Make sure you follow them ;)
