Compositing

I'd passed the compositing tasks out to someone else. I sat in for a few minutes to check that it was going as I wanted it and make some decisions about how it would look. e.g. I'd prefer to have less foreground and no green showing rather than have the green showing in order to get the foreground complete.  read more »

I've been starting up a Space Opera side project; it's part hobby, part ambition, part potential company. I haven't figured out how I'll set the body up, I'd like it to be close to a co-operative whatever the formal structure is. The principle is that everybody can get a share based on what they put into it. I've using the phrase "production company" loosely since it may not actually be a company.  read more »

I'd figured that with the amount of people trying to get into the movie industry as animators, compositors, etc plus those who are just involved as a hobby, there must be many sites about 3d modelling. Expect to find me on a few as I look to recruit members to my current Space Opera side project. The side project is becoming more major the more I think about it. Ideally I'll find a site or two that I can become a longer-lasting, active member on rather than the type of visitor who only registers in order to leech people away.  read more »

To get myself to the initial stage of creating a Space Opera, I'm putting my own words into practice and using Blender for the first time ever. And I like it. It's actually way more advanced that most of the video editors I've tried using recently even though that's not its speciality. The interface is a bit awkward especially as my wireless mouse has a scroll feature for the 3rd button, but doesn't have a 3rd button itself. I could emulate the press and may look further into that.  read more »
