Rounding third and heading for home!

Posted on April 16, 2007

This last stretch is a doozy, but I will be done soon!  I swear!  I’ll keep telling myself that until its over with.  Late last week, I took a trip down to LA for a couple of meetings.  While there, I stopped by RenderRocket’s Sherman Oaks office and they loaded up most of the rendered frames onto my external HD.  Unfortunately, it was getting late at night and since I was leaving that evening, and they had other things to do themselves, we had to call it quits.  The result?  I had most of the frames placed on the hard drive, however, 14 shots will have to be downloaded.

RenderRocket automatically .zip’s and .rar’s every render job so that you can download them in nice compressed packages.  I’m poking through the FTP site and notice that the files range in size from 650megs to 6.5 gigs each.  That is a lot of downloading.  My internet connection is capable of more than 7  Mbits/Sec, however, I’m currently averaging a pace of 2.1.  That is a little disappointing.  Hopefully that is only a temporary speed and things will pick up.

On top of the downloading, I still have a little bit of rendering to do here.  Just some odds and ends as I find things that were missed.  After the rest of these renders are done, I’ll begin to comp the remaining shots.  This will hopefully be a no-brainer.  The comps have already been completed and I just need to do a final check and set each one off to do its business.  There are about 56 shots to comp.  Oh boy, now that I type that out, that looks like a lot!  It should go smoothly.  At least I hope.

And when all of that is done?  Then I need to assemble all of the shots, re-size it to video res, slap the audio on top and send them to festivals to try and get accepted.
