Bones of Essimer

Bones of Essimer is still in post production. The animation team have been busy modelling and texturing 3D assets and backgrounds. Buildings, market stalls and an epic bone ship have been created. There is a lot of work that has gone into this project so far and there is still much more to go. The next step is to start compositing all these assets and the live action footage together for each shot. Then any atmospherics and colour corrections will be done and the final sound put with it and the cinematic will be done. Even though this sounds like it will be simple, it will not and there is a lot of work to be done.

I have been helping to sort out the final figures for the budget, to make sure that everybody is paid back for any contributions that they made to the project and also trying to sort through all the concept art and behind the scenes photos to create a Bones of Essimer art book. There are hundreds and hundreds of behind the scenes photos to sort through and there are so many good ones that it os hard to choose which ones to put in and which ones don't really need to go in. The book needs to be beautiful as it is one of our Pledge Me rewards. The other Pledge Me rewards are also currently being worked on as they need to be sent out to all of our awesome pledgers.

Our tutors are taking some of the Bones of Essimer concept art, behind the scenes photos and props to Armageddon in Auckland over labour weekend to promote Physical Realm Studio and Bones of Essimer. They will also be promoting SIT and many of the other art students that belong to SIT.

Bones of Essimer has been a really interesting project with lots of twists and turns so far and with so much more to do and so little time left, it will be interesting to see what the outcome of this entire project will end up being.
