Rough Cut Ready!

Woo-hoo! Yippee! Yayayayayyay!! After a week or so of retakes (more thanks to Dave Gerhard and Chris Martin), we finished a rough cut of Twincesses for an upcoming animation festival. It was a real nail-biter, with me and After Effects magician/beloved roomie Michael Jacobson fixing some last-second post-related weirdness before handing it off to Barbara for the Final Cut finish. Besides his AE expertise, Jacobson is a awesomest photographer, not to mention a hero...



For the festival's pre-selection material, we took a quick photo of us three directors Matt Danner, Barbara Ann and me. You'll totally get our adorable reference when you see the show.

Twincessant toilings.

Including today, I've spent what feels like a 396 hour week finalizing animation and comping the exported Flash scenes into After Effects with their backgrounds and camera moves. I'm so tired. But I love our show.

I love our show because the animators put so much specialness into it. The little touches. The additions. The sheer toothitude.

Monday, Barbara's putting all 97 scenes back into Final Cut and we will take our first look at the entire thing, beginning to end. She's been doing her own toiling, over the twintastic opening title sequence which she personally created all by a slef.

And soon - post production. But now, a shot of tequila.

P.S. Sorry no images for a while. Like us, you'll want nothing but the finished product.
