Just found out this week that Knightmouse has been nominated for Best Animation in Queensland New Filmmakers Awards (QNFA) this year which will be announced on 6th August, 2010.
I don't like our chances looking at some of the other nominees on the list but it's nice to be nominated anyway.
Details here - QNFA webpage
and here - 2010_QNFA_NOMINEES
Also we've been selected for screening at Shorts On The Green Film Festival at Surfers Paradise on June 13th.

That's all for now. Hopefully more news to come in the near future.

Render sneak peak
Here's a peak at some render tests I've been doing today.
I'm trying to get at least one sequence done in next couple days.
27 sec render with Mental Ray. Simple lighting setups.

The same render with Final Gather takes 2 min 43 sec.

For what you get for the extra time rendering I'm more than happy to go with the 27 second render which will save us some valuable render time over next couple of weeks and save us some headaches too.
P.S. - It's 2:30am and I'm still at uni. Screw this I'm goin home now.

Almost finished animation
Week 11
Here's our animation done for now.
There are still a few minor things to fix but for now we can say animation is finished.
We can come back and fix up things later but we have to move on and prep everything for rendering.
So the schedule for completion by week 15 looks like this:
Week 12 - All textures and shaders finished.
Week 13 - All lighting and render setups finished.
Week 14 - Render all shots. Collect audio for final soundtrack. Compile final edit on weekend.
Week 15 - Final cut of film due for panel review. Final mastered tape due for screening.
We might be pushing for time but for now this is how things are looking.
Hopefully not too many dramas til then.
