Honestly, I like both. The first one a little more. Mainly because of how colorless it is, it kinda gives the Reco a "stealthy" look to it.

Sorry. I just meant that I was correcting my own previous statement. I was on board with what you were saying. I'll message you tomorrow when I've got the story arc written up for you.

good. I'm looking forward to it. The recognizer looks great. order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

LWSrocks Wrote:The ISO's name is Niko, which was my idea. As an inside joke, the other name suggested which was originally going to be the name (Aileron) is the name of the main character of a fan film I'M working on, just so it could be a funny forum story to tell. I've got the authorization.

Hey man...Aileron is no joke....Trust me, thousands of airplanes wouldn't be in service without them.

LWSrocks Wrote:I know, but somebody else suggested the name Aileron for Icon57's ISO character, and he said he really liked it, but then ended up choosing MY suggestion, Niko, instead. I talked to Icon57 and thought it'd be a funny (maybe not funny, but snicker-worthy) inside joke to name the main character in the movie I'm scriptwriting Aileron, just to serve as a tiny little tie between our films. It seemed like a good idea to me, but if it's not, I'll change it. I forgot to ask the person who suggested Aileron in the first place if it was cool with him/her, but I figured it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Relax LW, I was just messing with ya. Although I am slightly crushed that the name of the ISO in Icon's project is not being called Aileron, I can deal. Feel free to use the name in your project. If anyone wants me to think up anymore names I will be happy to try for you.abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

Sorry boss, when I ran the names past Lesley (my co-everything on the project) she pointed out that Niko works best with the aesthetic and evolving mythology of our characters, which pretty much clinched it for me as well. Aileron is pretty badass, though, so I'm glad that LWS is giving it some love. If it makes you feel better, your name suggestion inspired the opening action sequence for the film, and it's going to ROCK. Also, RenegadeProgram, the camera we're using is the Canon Vixia HF100. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/canon-vixia-hf100/4505-6500_7-32786395.html

Keen daddy-o, it's like I said before. I can deal, and I had another kinda brainstorm while I was in my worship module this morning but I need to GROK on it a little more before I share it. It might not be a cool to others as I think it is.

LWSrocks Wrote:When can we see a trailer?

Probably in March, maybe sooner depending on how I feel like doing a trailer. If it's just CG, maybe a beauty shot of the characters, then sooner, but that's kind of a cop-out.

What you WILL see--next week--is Lesley and I in action, showcasing a sample of the fight choreography that you're going to see in the flick, as well as a bit of discussion about the characters, and a special episode of my podcast, Bent, at http://bentthepodcast.com, solely a roundtable review of Tron: Legacy between Lesley and myself that gives you a better idea of what we loved and hated and what will be pulled from T:L for Morphology.

EDIT: Also wanted to share, I started the P90X regimen this weekend as training for the flick and oh my God I don't know how people do it all the time. I'm sure I'll get into it but man... it's tough when you're starting out.

i don't mean to drop in here and crap in your pool but i have a bit of advice for the project.

you have everything more than well laid out but there's one shortcoming that might give you a world of grief: your camera.

AVCHD is a notorious pain in the ass for cs3. you're going to have to transcode the footage into a codec that will be much easier to edit, chromakey, and color correct.

mainly avchd as a codec wasn't introduced until cs4 and even then it's a monumental pain to work in. (like getting 2 frames per second.) you'll basically tear your own hair out with how slow it is to work with. it's high quality but it bogs the cpu down trying to decode it in real time.

you're best bet is to convert the footage to something easier like h.264, quicktime files using animation preset at high quality or even uncompressed .avi which will soak up hard drive like nuts but a completely lossless conversion.

and sadly it's not even the only issue.

the camera just isn't made for this kind of work.

you need complete manual control out of it. no zooming, a real report of your focal length (50mm, 85mm, etc.) and a report of your sensor size to properly line up your rendered scenes with your footage.

i'd highly recommend Mark Christiansen's after effects cs3 compositing book, which at this point could probably be found dirt cheap used on amazon.

being a creepy infowhore i went and looked up the manual to the camera to give you the best settings to use while trying to capture footage for this film.

you want the recording quality at FXP giving you the highest detail, that'll record at a full 1920X1080, where the other modes record at 1440x1080 meaning you'd have to work your footage at a pixel aspect of 1.5 but your 3d work would be square.
(1.0) just use FXP and both will always match up without dealing with any headaches.

use 24P and 1/60 shutter speed for most scenes and a higher shutter for action scenes.
for the amount of keying work this is going to require it's best to get as much motion blur removed from your footage. (it's shutter-priority mode)

in fact i'd recommend 30P for any action scenes you wish to slow down a bit with speed ramping.

avoid cinema mode in the camera like the plague. it's unnaturally bumps up color saturation and contrast, which makes it very easy to blow out the brights and generally makes your footage extremely tough to color correct in post.

white balance manually each time you set up a new scene, changing the lights around on a new setup can change the color. just use a nice piece of office paper or cardstock to balance off of and it will save you a ton of trouble while editing.

so to condense my ramble down:

FXP quality, 24p, 1/60 shutter for most scenes, higher for action. AVOID cinema mode.
manual focus, manual exposure, manual white balance, turn off all image effects,


i know this seems like a rather chunky bombdrop in here but i come from the vfx world and i'd just like your project to be as pain free and enjoyable for you.

yeah, well that's actually quite toned down for how i actually speak.
in reality i'm quite a gross creature verbally.

yeah the compositing in after effects book was the first book i owned for getting into this field. also the dv rebel's guide was monumental for learning vfx "tricks" as well.
once you have a few math tricks down and take notes, the rest becomes easier.

i practically spend half my waking day cramming more books, tutorials, etc. in some OCD race to become a one man fx shop.

but basically you can ask me anything, and i'll try to help to the best of my ability.

Hey everybody!

So here's what you didn't get last week that I promised:
-the first short story
-the footage Lesley and I shot last weekend
-the photos of Lesley in her Kadij makeup

Here's why:
-school overload
-I needed to shoot some bookends and interstitials to tie the footage together and I was horribly ill
-the photos are hella low-quality because my still camera is fubared; fortunately will have access to a sexy DSLR from here on in for stills.

Here's what you get instead:
-a new blog post with the first bit of video test-rendering I've done
-a bit more insight into how the design process works

And I'll post some still renders here of what I've been working on the last couple of days, aka the light jet, once I've refined it a little more.

Also, BinaryZero, just got Mark Christiansen's After Effects book in the mail from Amazon -- holy crap is it awesome. Great suggestion! I love all you guys!

EDIT: You also get some prose poetry I've written over the last little while if you keep reading down the blog, just so you get the idea that I can actually write and this might not be total dross after all :Pwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online
