Gamers 3 site update.


The Gamers: Hands of Fate by Zombie Orpheus » Tech Updates — Kickstarter

Tech Updates


Update #32


Hi everyone, Ben here.

We're doing the best we can to keep the new website functional while shooting Gamers 3, but I wanted to let you all know that we're aware of the tech issues some of you are experiencing. I'll be tackling those issues directly when filming is done, but until then, please hang tight. We're a tiny company and are going to be stretched very thin until this massive movie production wraps on December 1st. Until then, when faced with a choice between fixing the website issues and finishing the movie, we're going to focus on making the movie amazing.

Thanks for understanding.

Ben

Quick Updates:

1) Gamers Live DVDs should be back from replication and in our hands within a week or two. We'll start shipping them as soon as possible.

2) JourneyQuest 2 DVDs are almost ready for replication. We fit almost all of the extras on and just need to plug in some final sound pieces.

3) We'll dive back into ZOE Phase II preparation once the JQ2 DVDs are out the door. We're very excited about this new way to support ZOE shows and projects!

4) The Orcish/English dictionary is in final review and layout. We expect it to go to the printer this week.

5) As of last Friday, we have a rough cut of Gamers: Hands of Fate, minus the final pickup scenes we shot on Saturday. It's currently lo-o-o-o-o-o-ng, but that's normal for this stage of the process. The more we cut, the funnier it gets. And Christian Doyle may break your heart. You heard it here first.

6) Yeah, it's been non-stop busy around here. You can usually tell when we get swamped, since the facebook updates trickle to a stop.

7) Don't miss us at Emerald City Comic Con, coming up in March! More details soon, but we have a booth, two panels, and a sneak peek at Gamers 3!

Ben has been working on the JQ2 and Gamers Live DVDs all week. Here's a peek at cover progress!

Progress Report


Update #33


Hey, everyone!

We've been too quiet on the Kickstarter front, but the good news is that there is much to report.

Most importantly, we're still right on schedule for our August premiere at Gen Con Indy and September delivery of rewards. This last weekend we successfully completed a pick-up shoot for the film that had been delayed until hair and beards could reach certain lengths. With that done, the only remaining footage we may need will be a few insert shots of cards on tables, which we'll do when the relevant art work is complete.

We spent yesterday editing the new scenes and today will finish cutting them into our first full assembly edit of Hands of Fate. The current cut is about 2.5 hours long. We'll be watching it without breaks tonight and making some decisions about structure, pacing, and length at that point. Our expectation is that the final cut will be about 2 hours long, so we have a lot of material to finesse, smooth, tighten, and time.

Meanwhile, for the Countermay sections of the film, we submitted a rough assembly to our visual effects (VFX) team in January. Every angle has a unique plate number that we use to keep track of art, assets, and effects. Since that portion of the shoot was almost entirely greenscreen, it's important that we all stay on the same page as our artists paint the backgrounds that will tie together the world based on the card game. We've also been working on keying and compositing techniques that will help marry live action actors to painted backgrounds.

While our editing team works hard on post-production, we're also preparing for giving the world a first look at The Gamers: Hands of Fate this March at Emerald City Comic Con. We have a special panel set up and will bring some advance footage and an HD projector. You'll also be able to find us all weekend at Booth #402. We're also preparing a series of limited edition postcards featuring old and new Gamers characters that we'll hand out to promote the film at the con—we'll be sure to share those images with everyone here as soon as they're done!

In addition to our work on this film, we're also this week completing the JourneyQuest: Season Two DVD and sending it in for replication. We sent The Gamers Live DVD for replication a few weeks ago. Once those two DVDs and our massive miniatures order (over 4000 units for this Kickstarter alone) are in our hands, we'll do the first set of reward shipments for those backers who requested to pay for early shipping of available items in the backer survey.

This continues to be an epic production and project for us, from shooting at Gen Con Indy 2012 to hosting our own convention to the greenscreen work to rebuilding costumes from Dorkness Rising and straight into the editing process. Thanks for your patience as we hunker down in front of our computers and work on turning all of those amazing performances, locations, stories, and surprises into a movie that we hope every one of you will be immensely proud of.

Thanks for the privilege of entertaining you with this dream project!

ECCC Promo Sneak Peak [Spoilers]


Update #34


We just ordered a batch of promo cards for Emerald City Comic Con (March 1-3). These are the first official look at new characters from the world of Countermay, where the Romance of the Nine Kingdoms takes place. A big thanks to fan, backer, and photographer Todd McKimmey for this batch of portraits!

(We also have some amazing portraits of Brother Silence, Sir Osric, Luster, Daphne, and Flynn, but you'll have to wait a bit longer for us to finish those up in between editing cycles.)
