Kirk: Bridge to Engineering
Scotty (off camera): Ay, Cap’n
Kirk: Mr. Scott. I need…those lens flares, andIneedthem…ten minutes ago.
Scotty: I’m giving her all she’s got Cap’n. There just aren’t any more lights on the ship. All we’ve got left are Uhura’s scented candles.
Kirk: Mr. Spock. Suggestions.
Spock: Sir, I do not understand your course of action. It is already so bright in here that I fear we may all suffer retinal damage. Would it not be more logical to turn off some of the lights before we go blind?
Kirk: Damn your eyes, Spock. I…MUST…have more lens flares. I’ve…gotadisease…and the only cure…ismorelensflares.
Spock: Perhaps Dr. McCoy can prescribe something for you.
Kirk: Bridge to Sick Bay. Bones are you there?
McCoy: I’m here, and I’m busy. What do you want?
Kirk: Bones, Spock is worried these lens flares might make us all go blind. Any suggestions?
McCoy: Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor not an opthomologist! Oh, wait. I guess I am. I’ll bring you guys some sunglasses.
I have been very quite for a while now. Podcasts have slowed down to a trickle. Blog posts have been pretty much non-existent. It is as if there is nothing new worth talking about with the film. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. We have been engrossed with so much work, that stopping to record and edit a podcast or simple taking a moment to write a post have been far from our minds. It’s crunch time baby! And this film ain’t gonna animate itself.
As of this posting, we are nearly finished with all of the 3D work. From here it’s on to facial animation in After Effects. Of which, 90% of that has been completed by yours truely. We are getting very close to the point where it will be simply a matter of slapping all the renders together, editing them down, color correcting them, and calling it a day. Just a few more weeks and Annabelle’s Bistro will be ready to release out into the world!
I have a couple of renders set aside. If I find some time in the next few days, I will put together a little write-up about how they were accomplished, however, I have a feeling that most of the cool behind-the-scenes stuff will be written up after the film is complete. Stick around though! Cool stuff is coming soon!
Be sure to check out this weeks episode of the Annabelle’s Bistro Podcast. It’s Spring Break! Time to get crazy and key some frames! This week is a special spring break edition of the podcast. We are joined by Anron Wang, Josh Mcarthy, Bob Wiese and Maggie the basset hound. Insanity ensues, but thankfully Matt resists the urge for plastic beads and keeps his top on.

LEGO has introduced a new train for all of us LEGO train heads out there. And along with it, they put together a fun little video highlighting some of the process of developing a train for the serious LEGO enthusiast. It is worth taking a look at.
Well Spring Break has begun. And you know what that means! It’s time to buckle down and get some work done! WHOOOOOO!
We have been working diligently to stay ahead of schedule on the film. Nearly all of my students have volunteered to give up their spring breaks to do so and have been putting in the hours. It makes me very happy to see my students working so hard on something they are passionate about. Way to go guys!
Our busyness has lead to fewer blog posts and podcasts, but fear not friends! I bring you yet another episode of the Annabelle’s Bistro Podcast (It’s actually been out for a whole week already but whatever.)
If you would like to subscribe to the podcast, you may do so by visiting our page on iTunes or grabbing the RSS.
Tonight we are recording a special SPRING BREAK EDITION of the podcast with a special guest. Look for that to go up soon as well.
