I am praying for you Mark, that God will multiply your time effectively. When you are not posting I know that you are working hard. Hang in there you VFX guru you. :engel017:

Thanks Gary! Renders are taking dreadfully long. Right now I am rendering the big scene for PUSH and I was hoping that it would be finished when I cam in this morning, but all those DAMN reflections are killing me. I should speed up slightly, but I was hoping to do post this morning on this thing and it is looking like it will still be rendering into this evening. ARGH!

I am hooking up my laptop now as we speak, hoping it can help with some of the frames.

We are HYPERACTIVE!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooo!
 
hey ALL!

Some of you already know this, but there is no way that I will finish this thing in time for the deadline... not even close. Most of the folks involved knew this, but we gave it a shot. The big thing for me is it got me off my butt and making a film. For that I am very excited. I am steadily working on it and will continue until it is done because it is a fun project and definitely worth finishing, but I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for their support.

I told Matt that I was gonna blame him and PUSH for missing the deadline... (just to give him crap) but to be honest, once I started getting my footage, I realized that it was much more than was doable by the timeframe... with or without PUSH, it didn't make me want to do it any less if anything I didn't think so much about the deadline and more about just getting the footage that I could be happy with. I think that we got there in the end and I look forward to really taking the time needed to get this thing done the way I want. So no it is not Matt's fault AT ALL.... but I am still going to give him crap about it just because it is fun!

Thanks again for your help and encouragement, I will be sure to post images when I have them.
 
Another one bites the dust.

Well I think this sucks, but it's not unheard of. Will you put it up in the UserFilms section when done?

For all out there... The story and cinematography in NETHERBORN is amazing... It is well worth waiting for. Watching it shot and seeing the creativity put in makes me drool to see it completed correctly, deadline or not. Can't wait, Mark. :) It'll be wonderful.
 
I too have just noticed it's not in the list. I'll make a point of watching it when you do post in User Films.
 
I know they worked really hard on this and I am excited to see it when it is done too! I am in a part of it!
 
Hey Mark, what was the major reason you couldn't finish? Render times? Tracking? ... just curious, and I've certainly been there myself.

First Matt takes away your RED, then HIS render gets in the way of YOUR render!!! Totally not cool, lol.

WHAT!? That is Sooo not the way it went down.:shocked: Are you joking? If not...I will sick Dustin Rogan's half clad ninjas upon you! I, in no way took Mark's RED, or stood in the way of the finishing of the movie. Look out! Here comes the NINJAS!!!:violent5:

Actually to be honest, I just started to see the story go in a place that I really liked which increased the time a lot. That and I didn't get the filming wrapped until 2 weeks ago. I was the only post guy on PUSH so it took me the better part of two weeks (and that is with a lot of simplified solutions) and I just wasn't willing to rush Netherborn so I spent up to the wire on PUSH and I still haven't even started cutting Netherborn. For me this was a get off my butt and make a film nudge. The FEST is cool, but I really just wanted my own film. This is actually my first film, officially. I have worked on a lot of stuff over the years and Matt and I co-concieved, co-wrote and co-directed Sleeper (still unfinished) for me this is my first solo directorial project. The idea is my original idea, I enlisted my buddy Scott Cuthbertson to help me with the script and the great Hyperactive team help me put it together, at least the stuff up to this point. For me though, the fun has just started.

I promise you that even my team will be surprised with the end product. So I am taking my time and I am creating something that should be pretty decent for my first official Directorial debut.

On a side note... totally out in left field Randol (one of our Hyperactive teammates) and I are fiddling with the PS3 render farm myth. I am convinced that it is possible as is he. He is quite the linux guru so we will see what we come up with. Matt volunteered his PS3 for testing (hopefully we wont blow it up! :Drogar-Dolar(DBG):)

I am going to use that rendering source that you pointed us to.

Actually to be honest, I stole Matt's Red. I sicked a rabid wombat on him while his back was turned. It was actually a ninja wombat...trained in the art of biteyokrotch. And the honest reason I did not finish Netherborn is I was dancing and frollicking too much. Sometimes I get carried away and just start frollicking. It is hard to put in words.

It is okay Mark. I am glad you finally shared that deep truth. Now you will feel much better about yourself as a filmmaker!:nads::2vrolijk_08:

That is so not what went down! Matt actually kept freaking out because we were running short on time. In his defense he suggested that we cut a lot of corners on the PUSH VFX so I could get on to mine, but I had already decided that I was not going to rush it....

How do you like those apples! MATT... you mis-quoting, wombat loving, sumo posting fiend! :Drogar-Evil(DBG):
