Edit has officially gone over 10 minutes now and i've not even started the fighting section....... Can't wait to show it all off, really think i've cooked with this final episode. 

Quickly running through the main master scene for this sequence, running through and optimising as much as possible to speed up rendering / scene management.

2 min 30 to render this - it will inevitably just get more and more as i add flood characters so i'll have to figure out a limit to how many there are on screen in a clever way but we'll see.... 

7 minutes 35 seconds animated / rendered and ready for proper compositing.

Around 5-6 minutes left to plan, animate, build and finish. (Though i think itll be 'easier' than whats come so far if i plan it properly)......

WIP. 

And the final of the 3 has entered the game.....

Ready for action

(No compositing yet, purely render)

Lots to do 

Not much to say right now - still animating this sequence so here's just another still :) 

Having fun with lenses and some zooms etc, trying to make each shot feel believable from a filming standpoint (could a camera man /setup actually shoot this).  This is how we approach cameras in the industry - i animate a lot of camera so bringing together all my knowledge of how to shoot shots in an interesting and dynamic way.

If i can make each shot feel interesting where i can im happy

wip 

Just a little screenshot again before i go on holiday for a week.

Almost through this section, few more shots to animate and render, then it's onto the fun stuff 

Going to be a few static wips for a while whilst i get through animating this sequence.   Trying to get through this sequence as quick as possible to get to the big battle area as thats the main crux of the episode, the big finale that i want to really focus on edit wise.  Before we're even in that room, i'm sitting at about 7 -8minutes long right now, and i think the final episode will run about 10-15 minutes long 

Just another WIP render of a shot... key quote for the inspiration was taken from the Halo 2 Dev commentary with Jason Jones /Joseph Staten and Marty O'Donell.

Moving on from this shot now - this episode is now currently 5mins 20 seconds, and i know it's most likely going to be double that in the end.   Predicting a mid-late 2025 release on this episode.
