Elulu (OMMP) current status

This is the current progress of my first movie

In 3D:

  1. 8 x 3D Characters modeled, textured and rigged
  2. 4 x 3D props, modeled rigged and textured
  3. 2 x 3D chartacters modeled and rigged

*** I still have to model, texture and rigg more characters

Backgrounds:

  1. 26.154 x photo files, complete backgrounds of 64 scenes (real locations)
  2. Almost 9 scenes have a color graded background

*** There are 8 more scenes that i still have to make the background, but those scenes will be made in 3D

Music:

  1. 92 minutes of original music made with original recorded samples
  2. I still have to mix 2 more themes (4 more minutes)
  3. To make the music i made a total of 41 hydrogen drumkits from wich 8 have been released under creative commons and are freely available to download and use.

*** I would probably make 1 to 3 more themes.

Story:

  1. 127 pages of storysketch, with an average of 12 to 15 drawings per page
  2. After the storysketch i wrote the script (just to understand better the story)

I´m currently working on the color grade of the backgrounds, then i will make my first cut with the graded backgrounds and music, later i will make the 3d characters that are still missing, after i will animate, and the final stage will be the recording and mixing of the sound FX.



The first minute of my first movie

Hopefully the next 74 minutes will be ready by the end of 2013, early 2014…

Tech specs: 4k, 96khz-24 bit, (for now, only stereo audio, i will make it in 5.1 eventually)

This is the OMMP, at first i was going to make it in 3d stereo, but due to lack of technical equipment and too much render time, i decided it to make it just in 2d, but at least in 4k, i hope to find a cinema distributor once i finish.

Happy new year everyone!*

*Remember though, that every minute, and every second, of every day, is a new year, everything depends on the eye of the observer



Hydrogen drumkits

As part of the ¨OMMP¨ since January 2012, i have been recording samples to make music, as i´m using Hydrogen (opensource, available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS) a drum machine, running on Ubuntu (opensource OS), i have created several drumkits, that i will be uploading from time to time, this post is to let you people know that, as there is currently a drumkit contest organized by the developers of Hydrogen, i´ll be uploading 4 drumkits to this contest and they are going to be released under a CC-by license, yes, that means that everyone is going to be able to use this drumkits, even for commercial puposes, as long as they give me the proper credit (Gabriel Verdugo Soto, www.belofilms.com), the 4 drumkits are: Acoustic guitar-normal, Acustic guitar-normal strums, Acoustic guitars-muted, and an eclectic drumkit of fruits, cans, books, leafs, human noises and a djembe from Senegal.

Everything was recorded with a mono-unidirectional-condenser shotgun mic and also a stereo-cardiod-condenser mic in an AB pattern at 96khz 24bit (best possible audio quality), mixed and edited with a little reverb on Ardour (opensource available for Linux and Mac OS), an imported later into Hydrogen.

The drumkits will be available for everyone, once the contest finish.
