Quick Update! (Patreon)

Here is the next update on the current project.

I just finished up writing the script for this project which ended up being 800+ words long, so at this point i think its actually aproaching the proportions of a short movie.

Most of the dialogue will be included in part2 as that contains the whole into (plot setup) and outro (resolution) of the animation. Which dosnt sit 100% right with me as the lines that are in part1 wont make as much sense with the intro missing but adding that now would push the part 1 completion into next month and i dont think too many of you would mind getting a couple out of context lines for an earlyer part1 release.

I have mostly bin working on more shots that set up the action:

These two just being just being some examples i picked out.

I also spent some time making a node setup for Loki to have a dematerialize effect applyed for his body and clothes so i can have im teleport around and have a nice effect for when he materializes his clones. This is just a viewport previre. It will look better in the actual render.

Over the last two weeks it became very apparent that this is requiering much more work than i anticipated. I originaly thought i could finish this up in just two more weeks but its just not enough. So it will have to be around the 25th for hopefully everything to be in place.

I say hopefuly because the biggest obstacle right now are Voice actors. So far only the VA for Thor has 100% agreed to the project and im still waiting on responses from the other VAs i contacted. Picking VAs for this project is quite difficult for me as i am very pressed about them being able to emulate the characters accents whyle also fitting their voice in tonality.

Usualy this dosnt keep me from doing my animation work but with the way i handle voicelines it actually does, because i always animate over the audio so the lipsyncing matches perfectly. That how i did it for CastingCall back in the day.

My last resort if i cant sort out this VA situation quickly would be to just record the lines my self, animate over that audio and hope that the VAs can match it perfectly.

The positive here is that part 1 dosnt need as many voicelines as part2 So there are only a couple shots affected by this.

I hope this update gave you a sufficient overview of whats going on and thank you again for being so paciente with me.
