An ancient evil awakens. And I slowly fade into my sleepless night.
Hi all! Here is the information that I have finally finished with the animation part. I said that the end would be for 15-20 seconds, but it came out for a little more than a minute. Everything I say in numbers, multiply by 2 is my advice. But finally I finished animation part.
What else do I need to do? In order.
Render the last scene and watch the entire animation to find and correct the biggest errors, if any.
Add text to the video and find a voice actor. On average, a voice actor makes a sound in a week. (It even happened that I received sound the next day. And happened that the voice actor I wanted fell ill and I was waiting for her.) Everything will depend on how quickly I find a suitable candidate and how free he is. Just during this time I will correct all the moments in the animation.
In parallel with all this, I will start adding sound to the video. This is usually not the most fun task. Cut 1000 variants of ass hitting thighs and adjust the sound sliders on each one. On average I do this in a week. Considering my condition, I would have added another week.
Also, after receiving the sound from the voice actor, I will do lips sync. Usually the problems with this are minimal since I animate dialogue quite well and often the voice actors, based on the character’s facial expressions, hit the lips well. But let's see how it turns out now.
Then I’ll come up with a logo, set up a video visual with all sorts of effects, make captions and that’s it. Release.
For this animation, I thought about working in another program to combine all the files into a complete animation, but now I'm not sure I want to do that. I'll think about it.
Maybe I'll release one more WIP animation after all. I postponed its release because I couldn't think about anything else except putting an end to this animation.
----------------------------
Preliminary release date:
Let's think it through and apply some math.
Render won't interfere with my work on the sound, so we won't take it into account. Minor corrections, if any, will take 2-3 days at most. While waiting for the voice actor, I will work on the sound. This means that the situations won't overlap, and it won't slow me down. So, I will work on the sound for 14 days, maybe much faster, but I won't say that anymore. I'm sure there will be days when I'll just sit around doing nothing but breathing air. We'll also have to hope that the voice actor and my animations of the lines will be synchronized, and I'll make minimal changes to the lip-syncing. That's also about 4 days if things go badly. And as we know from OM, we can't expect anything good except the release. I would say that the release can be expected in a maximum of 20 days. Minimum 9 days.
