HOW is that to get a girl was more simple then to get a boy?

Script >>  Storyboard >> Concept Art >> VFX test >> Casting >> Making Props >>Filming >> VFX >>  Sound >> Making trailer

Actors, specially kids are hard to get motherf*ckers.

When I started Sinking In The Fire, or specially Wrong Hate training part of it, I was just blindly writing script. Creating problems for myself to then get somehow through and learn on it.

Except of technical problems, I really couldn't allow myself to make a cartoon. I wanted to make only movies with real actors. And when you see a little child in the script it's become a little complicated part.

You may find a parent that interested to give a child to the audition. Then you may check that the child is good at acting at least the stuff needed for the movie. And hardest part.

To make the parent sing on the contract.

For Wrong Hate movie I've got through first and the second part, but the third I couldn't make done.

The child I've got was pretty awesome. Acting all time, even when it's not needed. Live in movies. Just like me.

But his mom was like me to talk about the project, dream about to see him in the movie, but wasn't ready to actually sing the contract.

So I though I gonna give up on this child. And start learning the Producing and Managing better.


Neurological project


I though first that I gonna learn psychology and neurology to manipulate his mom to sing the contract. It didn't work, but I found a problem why.

Obviously she has an Bipolar Affective Disorder which means she has periodically good and bad mood and not be able to get hard choices. The main problem was here that the project was too big for her mind to sing on the contract.

Anyway while learning it I had few interesting conclusions that If our politics may know them, our life could get much better.

I made a video about it:
 

 

SITF and Call Night Moon


SITF is "sinking in the fire".


I've got to run away a bit from the Wrong Hate. To experience something I can handle. And this was a music album I gonna release soon.

I recorded it in a week. One song from there even was about the hope of getting the child to the Wrong Hate.

Anyway another song called "Call Night Moon" was about the SITF. About the plot of the SITF. So I though it's gonna be good to keep my self a little in Blender and Filming by doing this project. By filming the Music Video for this song.

I though about the main scene that gonna happen in SITF. The meeting of the girl with the Boy that is Alien. And how he is transforming to Alien look.

So I quickly wrote a script and made a pre-visualization storyboard, so I could think forward.

Next part was an actress as a girl.

Oh my god. I didn't want to get through this nightmare again.
This time I found a different parent that had no Mental Disorders and didn't know a lot about marketing and film-making. So I was happy to try getting a talk with him.

Until this time I knew that the presentation is everything. So I made a presentation or him, how much important is to get his daughter on my music video.

Suddenly he just sing the contract. I was even shocked.

Anyway now I needed that camera that could shot in the night in good enough quality. I was not ready to shot on Samsung Galaxy.

I met a man. His name is Shahar Golan who was ready to work on the project. He is a professional photographer. So I payed him a little money to get him with all the stuff I need to the filming.

VFX Of Call Night Moon

I thought, why not to make a tutorials about everything I do for the project.

So I started to make the series of tutorials.

This is the last episode. Next gonna come later.
The reason you can see here. I gonna get some more complicated stuff to do, so I will need more time to prepare the tutorials.


Share this post to people, comment below (I wanna know what you think about it) and thanks for reading.

Blender DID NOT CRASH when I decided to add people to the scene

Script >>  Storyboard >> Concept Art >> VFX test >> Casting >> Making Props >>Filming >> VFX >>  Sound >> Making trailer


 Who remember this scene? Who remember the amount of renders I posted on this blog? But I never almost was talking how hard is that scene for my Lap-Top. Yes I'm using Lap-Top without even a Graphics card. Other, better computers are not at my budged currently. Anyway this frame was rendering 1:29 hours about. The noise is mostly still there. You will say that for render is quite fast, but I'm having just this machine and I'm planing to render 32 minutes in 24 frames fer second. It's gonna take years.

 I think the best solution for me is to use my new producing skills to find bigger budged, but then the idea is getting ruined. I want to show that is possible to make something epic without budged. Anyway now is the time to chose the way to go. Maybe I just gonna ask somebody for free computers to render the stuff. If you have any suggestion, please leave the comment below.

The story of this particular render is a little weirder. Ones i had in the scene a huge background object. It had all the grass for a kilometer around the scene, little river and some other stuff. But after adding a lot of details to the scene blender could not render it. He was crashing every time I was pressing F12. I found the way to make the rendering possible. I played around with settings, I've made from the background an HDRI and deleted him from the scene.
 The scene was rendering but not much stuff I could add anymore.

 Suddenly I tried to add the low poly people into the scene. And It did not crash.
