Re: Diary of a madman!

I've always wanted to learn how to do that stuff... good job! Can't wait to see the final product

Thanks.

By the end of this I hope we'll all become experts. :)

That's the results of just a few days work. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have the skin cut out done and all the fins, rudders, and tail sections done. The toughest part will be the propellers and the gondola.

When this project is done, I shall be releasing this model and anything else to you guys so you can use them too.

Only a few know what I've been up to lately. I was going to be quiet about it to the general GL population thinking I might not be able to pull this off and getting everyone's hopes up. However, it seems some of my old skills haven't died and I'm more than sure I can pull it off.

Instead of writing a fan story or drawings I decided to make a video. Taking along with me all the knowledge of imagery and audio techniques from making YTMND sites I've decided to go the next step and do an epic video using new and old skills. I figure I could also use this thread as a place to mumble and grumble about things and/or to show off the progress I'm making.

This will also be a learning experience for me as I learn new stuff along the way and with any luck you can learn from it too or pass along stuff yourself to help in this endeavor with credit of course.


Here's as it stands now:

I created this beginning footage to sample the aspect ratio and resolution and to story board a little:
