New Voyages Progress

Progress on New Voyages is moving along nicely, although we're already starting to lose track of time :) I think we just finished week 3 of this project. Final resolution, IE high detail, models are coming to completion. The Enterprise team of Rick, Paul, and Joe have finished modeling the majority of the ship and have started on texturing, and Chris should have the shuttlecraft ready to go by monday. Eric and Brett are making great progress on the interior shuttlebay and i'm looking forward to comping those into some of the greenscreen plates soon as well.

On more my side of things, Alex has done a great job of pulling frames out of Final Cut and getting them over to us on the network. With frames coming in things on the comp side can start moving a bit faster. On Friday I submitted one shot with complete effects for approval. Hopefully we can get those effects locked down so we can start working on applying them in other scenes as needed. There are probably close to 100 shots using those effects, so that would be a big boon. While i'm sure they won't approve the first version, it will at least get us started towards locking things down. In addition we're starting to pull our greenscreen keys and with the models coming together we should be able to start comping those shots.

Hey John! Can't wait until you are all cleared to share some of the work you've been doing.. This looks really great.

Things are going well here, I have another 2 semesters to go, but all the hard stuff is behind me now. Except for maybe one class next semester.

Anyway, keep it up and keep in touch!
