Greetings, one and all! This week saw us reach a couple milestones. First off, the final phase of color refinement has been completed. Now all that's left is figuring out how to get the various elements to play nicely together, and make the movie a reasonable download size without creating any grievous compression artifacts.
Before I get to the next milestone, we'll turn to the stunt team. Sunday saw the team training in the most intrinsic of the martial arts: Unarmed combat. Ranging from teaching the newest recruit, through brushing up technique for the intermediate and veterans, all the way into having our relatively newly minted veteran do some teaching.
In the process of that, I think we also may have accidentally invented a new training game.
On to our next milestone, this week also marked the first time I have attempted the classic modelmaking techniques called chipping and greebling by the ILM modelmakers. The former being adding even smaller pieces or "chips" of styrene to the model to break of the flat surfaces, and the latter being the use of parts from other model kits in unorthodox ways to add detail and provide some scale.
It's been a slow but incredibly rewarding process that really makes the design pop. There's still a few more pieces that may need to be added, but after that it's the basecoat that will tie everything together.
Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time!
