This is the biggest accomplishment from HBC so far :) Though actually all the earlier releases so far were made _during_ the making of this prod. The initial main theme of the film is the cars that ride across the desert. The cars obviously represent the makers of this film, and actually everyone thought up and modelled their own cars, which was nice :). Although I made the D Fast's limousine and the mini-vehicle because he was busy with the music-track, of course. However, korpi never got his own car, but his name is written in stone for everyone to remember. The planning started at February 18th 2008 with our 8-person production team + musician. There have been lots and lots of work. Software used: - Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 and 2009 (Scanline, Mental Ray, Vray) - Autodesk Maya 8.5 - Adobe After Effects CS3 - Adobe Photoshop CS3 - The Foundry Nuke 5.0 - Eyeon Fusion 5.0 - Nevercenter Silo 2 - Blender - Wings3D - Renoise 1.8 The video is encoded in .mkv with some open source methods with the help of this tutorial: wiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/From_Image_Sequence_to_Video_File Specific settings in MeGUI were: Codec: x264 File Format: MKV Video profile: HQ-Insane Automated 2pass 6000 kbps bitrate - maxon - ____________ G R E E T S: Junk Ananasmurska TRSi Conspiracy mfx Hilbert Pluisje SQNY Rgba Still FairLight Trilobit Dragon Magic Scoopex __________ B O N U S: There ain't bonuses straight in this release because we didn't have the time. However, I want to publish a separate package full of making-of scenes, storyboards, schedules and DVD-covers immediately after I have recovered from the nearly 48-hour-without-sleep workday I spent on this film. - maxon -
