I rigged, rendered, composited, and cut the the episodes myself. The direction of the first 2 episodes was headed by <em>the boss. <\/em>But by the third, its future prospects for its continuation waned &#8212; as did interest in it &#8212; and I was given the honour of finishing off the series oddment as a quasi-director.<\/p>\n<p>Predicatably, the third was my favourite as I felt a bit freer to experiment; no one really cared enough to put their 2 cents into it by this time. So I tightened the storyboard to make the cuts fit in better, and began with a <em>beauty pass<\/em> timing animatic that I would get sign-off from the boss, and things proceeded smoothly from there. Brett commented that he particularly enjoyed the flow of the third episode, which is a nice thing to hear, as I enjoyed running my own small project.<\/p>\n<p>No one would probably see that work, unfortunately. And sure, the end result might look dodgy to some, but to remember one of the reasons why I post these things: many jobs come with disadvantageous circumstances that affect the outcome, but if people knew just how much work was put in, they&#8217;d know it would have been a surprise anything came out of it at all. Most people appreciate only just the bells and whistles, or the polished gold trims, but I&#8217;m here saying that there is a hidden engine that powers all creative endeavours that should be recognised on equal footing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only one episode of this aborted series seems to be out on the Internet, which is the video you see above.
