After 8 months of intense work in The Headquarters, rendering in parallel on the very same machine, usd 700 spent on budget, a lot of tea and oatmeal, imaginary friends, lack of sleep and heat, and an unforgettable experience ; I’m releasing online The Chase on February 20, 2012.
For better or worse, this place had everything to do with the final product, whatever it is at the end. I’d highly recommend that you try something like this at least once if you are willing to make some kind of project.
That was a beautiful, inspiring, but very tough day for The Chase production. I really wasn’t expecting that at all.
If you are not as good at sketching as Mauro and, like me, you probably suck; you could always give a try to my little solution.
Very briefly, here’s what I do from the 3d program to the final frame in After Effects. Cool stuff. .
Since my budget was all my savings, and they were very little, I couldn’t afford to live in the big city for six months working full time on my project. Instead, I decided to go 780km to the south side, in the country of a small and beautiful place called Pucón. When its not summer, it’s much cheaper to live there. To my surprise, the place I was to stay isolated for the next 6 months was incredibly inspiring. That was a good start.
