Thanks Pulsewoman, I appreciate that.

Shot 01_06 is up! I've been working on this shot forever. I didn't like the first take, so I tried to do it again but the rendering times were horrible. I decided to reshoot the shot completely from scratch and this time the results were a lot better. I like how nice the orange city looks in the backround.

Nice shot! The orange city does look cool in the background.

I think I might re-shoot my BTS segment in widescreen because I didn't like my old one and... because it's the school holidays and I've got nothing else to do.

Can't wait to see it! Did you fix your old camera's firewire port or did you get a new camera?

Hey Jimi, I got a stupid question for you. Have you ever been to the USA? I live near Busch Gardens Theme Park in Tampa, FL and everytime I go, there's always British visitors there. The last time I went, I swear half the park was full of Brits!

Chikan, how's your BTS segment going? I'm in no rush, just curious.

Well, my Dad's yelling at me to get off. LOL

Neither, yet. I'm going to check out a couple of camera places in Lincoln, and if they'll fix it for me, great. Otherwise, I might get a cheap Digi8 camera from eBay with a FireWire port and keep them both so I can shoot in 3d stereo.

Nope, but I'd like to. Not for Disney Land or other attractions (which seems to be the reason for most people going to Florida), but for the cultural experience, or something (and maybe a showing of Tron or two ). Up in the north of England, visitors from the US are few and far between, and everyone is amazed when there's an American in our midst. For example - two years ago (I think), an American kid called Nick Rogers joined our school in year 7 (first year), and pretty much everyone (well, at least the easily amused ) was crowding around him just to hear him say something 'American'. We're a strange bunch, we are.

I haven't done a Game Grid shot lately, so I decided to work on one. Here's shot 00_12, which I think came out really well!

Gotta go; talk to you later!

Wow - great shot! I've tried to do shots of my own like that in the past - and it always came out too confusing and fast. Nice work!

Since you asked me, I might as well ask you - ever been to the UK?

Thanks for the great compliments, Jimi!

That shot was really complicated, both visual and sound wise. I tried animating it the way I animate everything else in Blender (which is just basically telling it to move the lightcycle from point "A" to point "B") but that came out really bad and too fast. Then I remember reading this tutorial about cameras following paths, and applied it to this shot and it came out really good, except that the camera was moving way too fast. After about a half-hour of searching in Blender, I found the speed thingy for the camera and slowed it down until I got the speed I wanted which is what you see in the finished shot!

The audio was tough for this shot too. In TRON when Flynn drives throught the maze in the lightcycle sequence, you can hear this "static" as he's zooming in between the walls. I tried to emulate that in the audio for this shot, but it was very loud and distracting, so I removed it completely. And don't get me started on how long it took me to sync up the 90 degree turns with the sound!

Anyway, no I haven't been to the UK; but I always wanted to ever since I first watched "Wallace & Gromit".

Hopefully, in the next couple of years, my family will finally take our big vacation in Europe and visit England, etc. abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

ROTFL... glad you like it, Jimi!

Hmm... haven't heard from Chikan lately. I hope he's doing okay.

I'll see if I can get any more shots done this week, however due to my schoolwork and everyday crap I think I can only work one like one or two shots a week. We'll see.

Talk to you guys later!

Hello everyone!

I'm very sorry about the delay of news and updates for the movie. I've been taking a short break from Blender and other stuff conserning the movie. I will continue work on the movie shortly.

Several minor problems have popped up during this hiatus:

(1) Cyberblade (who has kindly provided us with webspace for storeage of the movie's A/V files) told me that WildIT - his ISP - is going out of business. He told me however that he will continue providing us space with a new ISP, and I have the backup for the website and NoExcuses and I have backups of the movie's files.

(2) Due to the previous problem, there will be no more updates to the website, including new shots for the movie. However, we could avoid this by sending shots *.zip files via Windows Live Messenger (previously MSN Messenger). Hopefully, once the new website is up we will go back to updating the website with new shots.

(3) On March 28, my family and I will be on vacation until we come back home two days later on the 30th. I think I'll be away from any computers on the whole trip, so I can't check email or post on TRON-Sector.

Hopefully, this problems won't be too distracting with the development of the film. Thanks go out to NoExcuses, Chikan and Cyberblade for sticking with the project for so long. Without your help, this movie will have never gone off the ground.

Thanks also go to the voice actors, TheReelTodd, Nikster and Pulsewoman. We really appreciate your help.

@Chikan
Did you receive my last email? Could you make another model for me, please? I would like a model of the "valley" where the Solar Sailer flys through before being captured by Sark's Carrier in the original TRON movie. It doesn't have to be high-poly. Thanks very much in advance. I really appreciate it!

Heya man... Yea I got the email, sorry... It'll prolly be a while before I can work on that for ya... Like next week or so... But yea, I can do it.

Work's had me pretty busy lately... And as if working my normal shifts wasn't enough, I'm now in charge of creating the software for us to use on the laptops we're getting for our patrol cars... So instead of having free time to play in Blender & whatnot, I've been busy writing programming code... Blech! LOL

Hey Chikan, got your email and model! You did a fantastic job and I was able to use for a shot today! Shot 05_04 to be exact. I should get it uploaded on the website soon, even though the website will be down in like 10 days or so.

Just curious, Chikan are you ever on MSN messenger (aka Windows Live Messenger)?

Well, talk to you later!
