Other Stuff:

I know I said I was totally done with FD, so THIS is the last post about it until I have the DVD ready.... In lieu of the promised full extra ending, I am going to put the option to watch the movie in 3d (good ol' campy 1950's style, glasses and all) as the bonus feature, which I think is way cooler than an alternate ending that wouldn't have totally fit anyways. Plus, now, when you get the chance to buy it, you get a real extra feature. I will still be "giving it away free" with the donation of at least $10 (plus shipping, better make it $13) to the upcoming paypal Donation/Booking area.

Also, as a cool treat, I haven't even said one peep about my next movie, which will be a really cool take on my demo reel, and that IT'S ALREADY ALMOST DONE!! My goal is to have both the Demo Reel playing on my page at ronin, and have fever dreams v1.0, v2.0, the original trailer, and Spider L3 Gs playing in my movies tab by the end of the week.

EXTRA EXTRA Bonus!!

www.winstonbilliards.net will hopefully be just about done at the end of the week as well (which means $$$ for me :) ) So check it out, and my first online Sketchbook will be viewable as well in it's own handy gallery!!

The text from the last post....

The last post was supposed to have this text, but I goofed:



Fever Dreams was initially completed about a month ago, at least that is what the posts say, give or take a week or so. It got a pretty good reception, applause and good jobs all around, but I wasn't happy with it. I have been jibbering about fixing lighting and tweaking animation and all this crazy talk about re-scored soundtracks. It is now done, and I will be happy to never touch it again. It's my baby, I love it, but as an artist sometimes you need to know when to cut the cord and just let it be. I did fix the lighting in a few areas that I thought it could use it, I added some effects here and there, polished some scenes that, to me, could have been better, and with the help of my friend Nate, we added some more dialogue, replaced a couple embarassing clips, added more sound effects, and I have now finally produced the version I am happy with. I am not going to design a completely new alternate ending, as when plugged in place of the standard ending, it was a bit much on the creature and I didn't think it fit, but if you stick around at the end of the credits, I did throw a bone to those that wanted a weirder ending. Here are some shots, before and after, of some of the tweeks to look for.

FeverDreams FUGGING DONE!! :) (Again)

www.winstonbilliards.net is now accessible. Fever Dreams is viewable in my section of the site as well as on www.myspace.com/anthonyphillip , enjoy. sleep happens now.

I kinda lied...

Fever Dreams is technically done, but I found out some ways to make it look better than it does, so by saying earlier that I was going to redo the sound and now I am going to alter some of the visuals, I would have to say that I for the most part am really not quite as done as I thought. I will find a way to post the current version online ASAP, but a more polished product, visually and audio-wise, will be out in little more than a month. Winston's Billiards, my internship/website project, is going to be accessible after tonight, working on a nice under construction splash page and finishing drawing out my designs for the layout for approval soon.

Done.

Thats all that need be said. It's done. Going to show it tomorrow at the review. I mixed and scored it all myself, and I realized that I am no longer putting my own voice in projects, unless someone else is writing the script, because I sound like captain Obvious in the movie, haha. Nate and myself are going to completely rescore the entire soundtrack with all original music, better dialogue and sound fx for those that may cringe and some of the low quality of some of the sound effects used in this one, that should all be done in about a month when I will release the FINAL final version of Fever Dreams on it's own DVD, with an alternate ending, storyboards and early stuff, as well as the Camotion trailer. Until then, the current version, starting friday-ish, will be streaming from my section of www.ronindms.com.
