T.F.S Part 8 Update



Short update for you all. Episode 8 is nearly complete and everything is looking nearly done. I have one more scene to add in and then am awaiting the animation from my brother. Whether the Animation is done in time is the only problem that could occur. If it's on time, the episode should be out when expected. If it's delayed (highly possible) the episode will be delayed.

The episode will be raking in over 20 minutes, something I hope is good news rather than a short one as it's been so long so it's basically 2 episodes worth rather than the one episode, so please class this episode double it's normal length for how long you've all waited.

I will update you if any bad news comes in, which I'm hoping doesn't. Good times.

Kind Regards

T.F.S Part 8 Update

Hello....

I have been heavily working on overlay shots and editing most things I have shot.

The second half of the script is complete and some of that is edited already. Fast times..... At the end of this editing this 'what I have' phase, I will be doing a few more shoots online to fill some of the gaps then editing that into the final cut.

My brother Dave ran in to a few problems with the new animation and still at this point, is a very worrying concept, but I'm sure it will get done in time.

I am planning on having this episode out by 4th December. BUT, this is by all means NOT definate and as soon as I have a near final cut of the episode, I will release the official trailer.

Either way, things are coming along and moving nicely. Remember it is a story driven episode, but as this was the case, there are scene's of the more combat nature to tickle your tastebuds.

Good times....

Also, as Kootra, and GuitarmasterX7 have come onboard (names I think you know) just letting you know that episode 9 will feature DSF (DarkSpire Films) creators of Matchmaking naming one of their popular series. So the ever growing popular cast grows even further.

Peace for now.

T.F.S Part 8 Update

Hello,

Production on Part 8 is still very slow. At this current time, we are still working on the animation for a large section of the episode (It's nothing special) but hard to do as I've already stated.

Plus we are adding in a tiny fight scene at the end but using scale and this takes a lot of planning etc. Each shot needs to be planned and as we are incorpriating vehicles into these shots, it takes twice as long to do.

Remember that I didn't start production on Part 8 till very late as I had another project in the works plus the summer was time out so only really got started.

It's not that I am not making it, as I am now, but wasn't earlier on.

I will try and update you with further progress soon, but currently working on some hard shots.

Kind Regards
Darknal

T.F.S in ODST???

Hello peeps.

I have been getting a few messages about whether I am going to use ODST for T.F.S. The answer to this question is "No".... I will not be using ODST for my series for a number of reasons. The main reason is the same as to why I did not use Halo 3 campaign for my series.

The other is because it is too limited. Firstly, it's all based on Earth. T.F.S isn't based on Earth and there are only 4 characters, the rest are A.I, I only like to do things if they are purely created by me. Vehicles, Men and Elites must be able to be controlled by a real person, not the A.I. The firefight mode would purely be 4 players acting out scenes based on what the covenant do. This doesn't bode well considering I am limited to how I film the shots, what happens in the scene.

I may as well play firefight with some friends and edit it up.

I will obviously use the Mythic map pack, but this isn't ODST, it's multiplayer.

Just so your aware, I will not be using anything from the ODST Disc for T.F.S and this is not why the episode is taking time. It's taking time because the animation we are doing is all being done by one person and when you see it, you will realise why it has taken a while. It's purely because doing what we are doing is extrememly difficult although it may not look like it...

Speak soon.

Hello Peeps....

No update on Part 8 at the moment, things moving a bit slow due to CONAN, the real person being at work and so have to wait for him to return before continuing the script :)
