Okay, for those that have expressed interest in news and info, we’re posting The Arcturus System news here until we create an official layout for the site (but don’t worry, we’ll keep the blog too). We’re going to be posting all the info we can on the film – so bookmark this site and come back often.

Currently, we have finished shooting the opening sequences and are working on them in post. Once we finish editing, modeling, compositing, and keying the opening sequence and are happy with the results, then we need to look at our results and see what we need to fix to make things flow faster and with less problems. Once we make sure everything is good to go and we have a decent workflow, then we’ll start on the rest of the film.

btw: Shooting the opening took a bit longer than expected, but that was mostly because of the holiday season and schedule conflicts. We managed to wrap everything up fairly quickly once we were able to sort out everyone’s schedules.

Post is going to take a heck of a lot of work, and it’s rather CPU intensive. Since we’re shooting in High Definition, and have a ton of compositing, we’re talking literally weeks of render times on some of these shots.

Here are a few pictures to wet everyone’s whistle, I’ll try to post more as soon as I can:
