The Ian Report #465 - A Tale of Two Scotts, A Nate and a Bunch of Exposition

A Good Week.

I met with Scott Gwinn yesterday, and we discussed many things, including ways to harness his technological genius for insane Project London schemes.

Also: Brilliant Subject C Solution from Nate Taylor: Fact or Fiction? Stay tuned.

Also: Scott Hill got back to me with a totally rad concept for a small controller screen.

Also: I finished up a bunch o' the exposition scene, in glorious… Continue

The Producer’s Report #82 - Canada's Film is Cool!

At our meeting tonight, Ian showed us the film for Canada's exposition scene and it really looks great. Remember the scene of ultimate chaos filmed on the green screen stage at Victory Studios? It's in the film! I repeat, it's in the film! And it is hardcore cool. Thank you Tracy Yee Ming Leong for the cool graphics!

Work on visual effects continues and here are the stats.

Cool T-Shirt

The other day I received a nice t-shirt in the mail. I must say, it's VERY cool. About to take it on a display trip through Turku, Finland.

The Ian Report #464 - Subject C!

I think the picture basically speaks for itself, but in case it's ambiguous, the Subject C mesh will be the one to bring about our demise.

Peace!

The Producer’s Report #81 - ADR Session #2

Ed Walker has engineered another ADR session. This time attended by Roberta Roshau-Jauregui, Jen Page, and Geoffrey Simmons. The session went great reports Jen Forbes, "We got all of Geoffrey's ADR done (that we know of) and most of Jen's (however, we found a few lines after she left)."

Both Jen (xing) and Geoffery (Benin) were extremely impressed with how the film is looking. "#@(!-ing amazing... I'm sorry, there is just no other word for… Continue

The Ian Report #463 - Scott Burnett and ADR

I had a meeting with Scott Burnett regarding music yesterday—always a good time! There are so many scenes that are going to benefit from a good soundtrack, and so many that are going to be stronger without them, and it's just a blast exploring our options.

Can I just say a word about Scott Burnett's name? This is a question for everyone who reads this: what's up with the double "T" in the English language? We don't actually say the second T… Continue

The Ian Report #462 - Bugs! and Nathans!

Grrr! I hate having to troubleshoot bugs!

You know, when you reach the point where it's like, "Ah! This should work!" And then, for whatever reason, it doesn't? And you have to spend hours- sometimes days- figuring out why that is!?

I suppose I'm sounding needlessly pessimistic if I refer to it as "Making it stop not-working" as opposed to "making it work", but that's been our experience with Subject C the past few weeks. Nathan… Continue

The Producer’s Report #79 - Rendermatic

Nathan Vegdahl has been working with Nathan McCoy to setup an automatic “renderfarm” that runs on Nathan McCoy's super spiffy Mac. Ian only has to drop a .blend file into a special folder (via our Internet project Mesh) and it will automatically notice, start rendering, output it and move it to a complete folder when finsihed. As long as there isn’t a power outage, he doesn’t need to worry about asking Nathan to do anything. Pretty cool.…

First ADR Session @ Walker Studios

Saturday, August 1st, Nate and I popped in to Walker Studios to see Josh Truax (above) working with Ed Walker (below) and Ian Hubert to replace some troublesome lines of dialogue. When I say troublesome, I mean that the original track recorded during production in August of 2007 has some distracting background noise or spontaneous sound effect that distracts from the performance.
