Caught in the Act is nearly complete!
The intro is very nearly complete at this point. Currently, I'm polishing the animation and lighting, just getting it all dialed in right now!
By the looks of it, this is right on track for December 19th!And the current runtime with the test intro is a little over 4 minutes long! This is subject to change, and with the edit, could be longer with credits or other additions.
The shots above are from the test render from last night!
I'm considering making one more addition to the animation, extending the ending just a bit to round it all off. I'll be hosting a poll in a bit if you believe a delay beyond the 19th is worth it for a bit longer animation, or to just continue with the original release date.It's possible I can slide in the extended ending without missing the 19th, but if I do it and anything bad happens, I may have to delay it a bit further which is why I want your input.
I'm also looking into a new release method, one where I can avoid using Mega and Google entirely to avoid the issues that happened with Tied and Bound's view limitations on Google Drive.It would involve an alternate site, where all you have to do to view the animation is confirm your account with the website, and gain access to the animation!This site will be designed and run by me. It should be a straightforward setup, and technically the site is already live but still needs a lot of work done.If you're all cool with this, it'll be a private video hosting service that has no limits on watch-time, so no problems with Google or Mega limiting views. I can have it up and running in about a day, it really is pretty easy.
So far though, this animation is shaping out to be one of my best by far, and I am really, really excited to release it for you guys this month!
