Project X2 - Update 8

The sequel to Project X is almost here! I'm in the process of doing the final renders, and I plan to have it out by the end of the week.

To elaborate a little more, all the pictures and animations are complete, but I still need to do some final adjustments with camera work, lighting, and prop positioning. I also need to do a fair amount of test renders to make sure there are no problems. I've gone through and fixed quite a few mistakes already.

I've rendered about the first third of the movie while I'm in the process of finalizing the rest. That first third took about 7 hours to render, and the whole movie will take about 20. I'm actually pretty close to finalizing the second third of the movie today, and I will render it tonight. I might be able to fully complete the movie today too, and in that case I'll even be able to start the editing tomorrow. From there, I'll edit by day and render over night. The editing mainly comes down to sound editing, and it'll probably take 2-3 days to complete.

I'm aiming for the 14th as the release date, but don't think of that as definite. Issues with the final renders could cause setbacks by a day or two just because of the total render time of the project.

I actually don't have a final tally of the content because I made some cuts and additions towards the end, but the full project is somewhere around 100 pictures, over 60 seconds of animation, and the run time is just over 9 minutes long.

I'm really excited to get this out there!
