October (Halloween) Monthly News Update

Hi all!

(This is a 2-part post this month as with the Q&A, it became a bit of an essay… I’ll post this part now and the Q&A tomorrow. Last chance to get any final questions in before I post!)

I’m here a little early this month as it’s Halloween and wanted to put some spooky images out there for you!

It’s been a very good month for Jury. I’ve managed to get a load more renders/animations/writing/transcribing done. I know you’re probably getting bored of me saying that, but I’m just keeping you in the loop as to the progress.

This Month:
- Now up to 3312 images (This month another 1012)
- Now up to 148 animations (This month another 34)
- Another 3 scenes written and 4 Transcribed

I’m spending this current week rendering the more ‘boring’ (to render) and laborious scenes… The court stuff. As always, it’s never easy to render a scene with 20 people in it. The initial upload to the farm for this scene is over 40GB and even with fibre, it does take time! Here’s a little shot of the upload (with 8 of the characters missing).



To get these shots rendered, I have to do it in 2 shots, then combine them in fusion/photoshop after.



Essentially anywhere you see a shot with more than 10 characters on the screen, that’s been cobbled together using more than 1 image (The scenes in the lobby and on the rooftop spring to mind).

As it’s October, I’ve done some spooky renders for you all! I hope you enjoy!
