Chris Cerrone Week 09 Journal
0Well what is there to say. This is due tomorrow and after that it’ll be over. Given that its due tomorrow it was surprisingly difficult getting people to come in and do all the comping that was needed, since each day there were 2-3 people in the wind or just disappearing during the day. ButContinue reading

Avery Brown Week 09 Journal
0This week involved a whole bunch of wrapping up. A couple things were re-rendered and many things were composited. I made an animated intro for the logo, as you can see above. I also did a lot of visual effects, as you can see below. I developed a pretty streamlined pipeline for put smokeContinue reading

Alexis Bloom Week 08 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 08 Journal Sick Again Dear Diary, Oh wait, that doesn’t sound right… anyway… I was extremely sick for this entire week. I don’t want to go into details, but through a combination of physical and mental problems, I was out of commission for the majority of the week. My group has beenContinue reading

Avery Brown Week 08 Journal
0So, now that our renders are only a few frames from being complete, I tallied up how much data they contain… I did the same thing around the same time last quarter and our renders were only 98 gigabytes, so we have seen an almost tenfold increase in data. Other than that, I have beenContinue reading

Chris Cerrone Week 08 Journal
0Well what is there to say about this fine week? Getting the sounds together was a little bit of a nightmare. While I found working with something entirely tangental to what I had been doing before enjoyable, the fact that I spent most of the time looking for sound effects bogged me down and madeContinue reading

Chris Cerrone Week 07 Journal
0Well what is there to say about this week in a reasonable amount of time? I finished off all animation I needed to get done, in addition to a 500 frame shot that I had to do because it wasn’t going to get done any other way. After that I set everyone to assembling filesContinue reading

Team Journal Week 07
0This week in room 206: We went from about 20 rendered shots to almost all shots rendered in the last week. Alexis worked on finishing lots of animation and then helped with compositing. Avery rendered stuff, and also composited. Chris did a whole bunch of different things, from sound design to a bunchContinue reading

Alexis Bloom Week 07 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 07 Journal Almost There This week was pretty average. As the end of the term comes near, I’m becoming more and more excited, but also more anxious. I know we’ve got this project in the bag, and we’re going to have something awesome! … It’s the wait that’s killing me… Anyway, IContinue reading

Avery Brown Week 07 Journal
0For the previous two weeks, I focused on rendering and comping things. I also figured out a way around our Nuke licensing problem, which is rendering through the command line. This Week Hours Breakdown: Compositing – 14:00 Adviser Meeting – 1:00 Group Meetings (Dallies) – 1:30 Technical Directing – 19:00 Render Farm work –Continue reading

Team Journal Week 06
0Continuing with the same pattern as the last 4 weeks, Alexis and Juan focused solely on animation, while Chris animated and took care of whatever else happened to pop up, along with assembling shots to render. Avery has been assembling shots but can’t assemble them as fast as they are being sent to render, soContinue reading

Chris Cerrone Week 06 Journal
0What did I do last week? I feel like I didn’t do anything, considering the progress on my shots. Every time I sit down to animate I get back up because there’s something else that needs my attention. Render file isnt working, someone didn’t update the frame range on the shot list so I needContinue reading

Alexis Bloom Week 06 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 06 Journal Sick and Tired This week was difficult for me. I feel sicker and more sluggish than ever. I’ve been feeling really down lately, and it’s been affecting my work ethic. I think this might be the first time where I didn’t get everything done as planned, although I didn’t missContinue reading

Juan Garzon Week 6
0Another week. Lets recap! This week has been pretty good so far in terms of getting stuff done for SPROJ, with getting some of my scenes polished enough so that it could be sent to the Ministry of Render Magic (the render side of our pipeline… and I am the only one who calls itContinue reading

Chris Cerrone Week 05 Journal
0Woo Wee. What a week. Lots of animating for me, just kidding, as always there were many many things that popped up last minute for me to fix. Whether they were technical issues with files not being referenced properly, blendshapes not displaying properly, Black Golds Bump map looks like a car ran over his face,Continue reading

Juan Garzon Week05 Journal
0So this week was a bit less productive than I wanted, Lets recap! Scene 3 stuff is nearly done (took me long enough… To be honest, this scene has been a burden for me for some unknown reason. All my other assignments were on par with everyone else’s in terms of quality, but when itContinue reading

Avery Brown Week 05 Journal
0Lots of rendering this week, lots of rendering… I was able to knock out several shots throughout the movie, though mostly in scene 01. Rendering all the time is a drag (and also leaves a lot of downtime while the computers chew on things), so I took some time and did some nice modelsContinue reading

Zachary Thomas Week 05 Journal
0This week I worked more on visual effects. I started out at the beginning of the week working more on the base destruction shot. Since Avery and Chris were working on getting final renders for other visual effects shots I focused on a single shot that need more work than the others. As shots were renderedContinue reading

Alexis Bloom Week 05 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 05 Journal On Track Jack I want to preface this by saying I didn’t get as much animation done as I’ve done in past weeks. I think that’s because of a few things… firstly, I was really booking it the past few weeks to get as much animation as done as possibleContinue reading
