My Current Project

The Ruined Cathedral








Yes, somehow I've actually managed to do some work on my next video project. I've had this particular idea rattling around in my head for a year, and I didn't expect any work on it would get done while I'm in school, but sometimes it serves as a nice distraction ... at least a creative one.

I actually completed the storyline on Friday, and I've chosen to keep the title to myself for the moment. I did promise a friend a few screen shots, since she was kind enough to help me search for some files.

I spent three days constructing this set, which I call The Ruined Cathedral, and at six this morning I began a rebuild completely from scratch. Because of the changes I made to my config files, the first build was too "tight", and I anticipated some problems in being able to capture my video. The settings are extremely sensitive to level change in the grid and sends my camera bouncing into those places I'd rather it not go.

I have no idea how long this project is going to take me, but I thought it was way past time for me to update this blog. On a closing note, another thanks to my friend who sifts through those web pages, looking for content.

I love the screenshot and will patiently wait for the project to be done. :)

Oh and you're welcome!

LOL Thanks, Diva ... I hope you have A LOT of patience, because some of these ideas I have for this video are going to take some time to work through, and time is precious, lately.
All my best to you :)

I do have A LOT of patience because I know that it will be another good piece of Machinima. :)

What a great set!

Kheri said...

Thanks Jule ... and it's almost impossible to create a set like this one without thinking about that beautiful cathedral you made. :)

I don't know about that one Kheri. I always thought mine looked a little two-dimensional. I love how you have those arches on the ceiling!

Kheri said...

You've got to be joking, Jule ... your sets are brilliant! And your cathedral is my favorite!
The arched ceiling isn't really too difficult to accomplish ... however, it does require a great deal of patience :) I wish the lighting hadn't been so dark ... the detailing of the arches doesn't come out in the screenshots.
