I'm shooting background plates for the CG animation this weekend at a nearby High School. I've just about completed the opening sequence with the title animation and the V-656 killer robot escaping from the top-secret government compound - 36 hours of rendering time!

And what does a High School have to do with killer robots? Stay tuned.
 
We shoot on June 11th. The actual shoot, at a nearby high school, will be the easy part. I'm grinding away on the special effects. There are about 26 individual CG effects shots in the film. I hope I haven't gotten myself in over my head, especially since I'm losing this week being on vacation in Colorado. Lots of midnight oil coming up to make the July deadline.
 
Thanks Chris. Sounds like your shoot day went well. Plan on posting any screen grabs in the near future?
 
Man, I just went over our script in prep for the shoot this weekend. Out of the 47 shots called out 26 are special effects. I've been working furiously on these scenes - I hope I have enough time to finish them. I've been doing the animation in the evening and rendering overnight. A shot of the killer robot punching through the hallway wall in a high school ended up with 52 seperate layers in AfterEffects. I'll post some frame grabs this evening if I get a chance.

Next time - one room, one actor, no effects!
 
June 11th - fourteen hour shoot, five actors, 42 set-ups, two locations. First two minutes cut. I'm in South Carolina on a paying shoot and plan to continue editing and effects when I get back Thursday. Looks like lots of projects are progressing nicely. Should be some fun viewing when this thing is over.
