Long Time, No See

 So this has been a bit of a delayed project. If you remember, the trailer said Fall 2012. The good news is, the music is now finished, and we have 1.5 scenes of CGI to do. (Yes, we need a bigger crew. It gets overwhelming for the 3.5 of us.) Shooting Gatewalkers Season 1 has taken a lot out of us. Think Othersight with more costumes, more locations, more props, more actors, dodgy schedules, long drives... oh, and it's 33% longer. It can be hard to even get out and shoot some days, but we do what we must.

You may ask why we're working on a second project when the first one isn't even finished. The answer is simple: If we did that, nothing would ever get done. With volunteer cast and crew, we are subject to their schedule, not the other way around. Things get done when they have the time. Meanwhile, time and opportunity slip by. Skills must constantly be honed, or they dull. Every project will be better than the last one, because we grow, we stretch ourselves. Through every shoot I learn so many things I never would have if I'd decided to play it safe.

So, to recap, we continue to move ahead on all fronts. I can't promise a release date, I'm wiser than that now. :-P Just know that, when the time comes, you'll hear about it here first.

Blessings, y'all.

Re-composed

Well, David's back on the job! A sample from his reworked Othersight soundtrack can be found here:

New Othersight Soundtrack

Enjoy!

Brightsword Productions Site

Some of you may already know this but, in case you don't, Brightsword Productions finally has a website! It can be found at http://www.brightswordproductions.com/.

Thanks for hanging with us and we'll hopefully have some new stuff to share soon.

Rolling!

 The good news has finally arrived! David Hamilton is back and better than ever! We did a spotting session last week, and have some radical overhauls planned for the score. All in all I think it will be an improvement. I look forward to seeing what he'll come up with.

Thanks for reading! Until next time.

We Live!

 Just a quick update to say that we're still here and moving forward. The CGI is slowly but surely coming together, and David projects that he should be able to resume composing on or about the 12th of this month.

Thanks for following! Until next time.

Hiccups

Well, it's kinda sad to say that the latest news on Othersight is the crash of the editing computer. Fortunately the graphics card seems to be the culprit so hopefully it will be up and running soon. Meanwhile David plugs away at his considerable musical workload, and Catherine (CGI dep.) is at this moment refining the wing structure on one of our CGI elements. Nothing big, but progress.

Thanks for reading! Until next time.

'Twas a Moving Experience

Hello, everyone! This is just a quick update to say that my family and I are moving! As a result, there won't be a blog post next week, but the week after we should have news of the results of our next casting session and the week after that, hopefully a music update for Othersight. Thanks to everyone, and have a great week!

Ooo... Shiny...

Well, as promised, here's a couple pictures of the new toy/tool we have hanging around. 

Apparently you can monitor everything on this computer, including its internal temperature. Also, you can program the light display on the case. That... was considered a default option. :-D
On another note, David expects to be able to start working on the score again by mid-late September. Woo!!!

Ah... Technology

So, our first big piece of news for Othersight in a while. The computer for our animation work showed up today! In conjunction with its impressive raw power, it is also huge! The box it came in is about half my height (at 6'1".) The unboxing has yet to come, as there are a few quite pressing matters, which will be revealed over on the Brightsword Productions blog.

Thanks for reading!

News!!!

Hello everyone! After a week with no news we do have a spot of progress. The new computer system is on order. Woo! It should dramatically help with rendering the texture maps and such for our CGI. Also, we filmed a couple cutaway shots this week. Lastly, it appears that David is making good progress on his other projects. Here's hoping it keeps up. :-)

Thanks to you all! Have a great week.
