[xylem]

Any chance of mirroring this on media fire or shareboo or something? I think my campus blocks 4shared :P

Thank you Skalla-Grimm for producing this it's good to see another person throw there hat in the ring with trying animation. I hope you do more no matter what the length is.

Actually, I've been working on this on and off for months. I just didn't mention it much until this week .

The animation was done with Daz Studio 3.1. I rendered it as still sequences which I turned into .avi files with VirtualDub. Audio clips were either recorded with Audacity 1.3 or taken from Freesound.org. Editing was done with the free Lightworks 10.0.4 beta, a pro grade nonlinear editing system (apparently it's won a technical Oscar) that's actually fairly easy to use. Final compression to .mp4 was done with Avisynth using the Zarx264 GUI.

I originally started the project back around April, until my old computer died. Luckily I was able to save the animation files. Unluckily I still had to rebuild the sets, so I stuck on the backburner for a while so I could get some experience under my belt with lighting. My guestimate for render time is around 100 hours or so (I'm using a laptop for all of my work believe it or not). Editing and soundwork took I think about two evenings, excluding the time spent figuring how to stop stuff from crashing.

Also, since I couldn't get credits working, I'm posting them here:

The sound was a little off sync for me. But it was a great animation none the less.

It's better than the first try when it came out playing at double speed and she sounded like a were-chipmunk. After that I figured being a half-second off was acceptable.

Hey, I'm new at this and flying by the seat of my pants .

Here's a Mediafire link for those having trouble:

Great animation!

The sound seemed like it needed to be normalized. I nearly killed my eardrums when she screamed.

Or normalized better than it was; I did check the box to do that. I'lladd that to the list of things to learn more about for next time.
