Time On-Line is having a “What’s your favorite Star Wars fan film?” listing and they’re putting the judging up to you - the Star Wars loving public. We were pleased to see that clips from our project found their way into Time’s examples of popular Star Wars fan film history and we’re all pretty proud about it. However it looks like since it’s a vote of numbers, the lot of us here at Blacksheep Productions aren’t going to get many votes on our own. So if you find yourself going to TIME YouTube and viewing their expose on it, please give a shout out for IMPS, The Relentless Chapters 1 or 2 if they are your favorite. We’d appreciate it. Both Chapters can be viewed on YouTube at IMPS The Relentless YouTube Channel Post for Chapter 3 is going forward and picking up steam as Pete is delivering amazing shots. Edits are for various scenes are getting the finishing touches... http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=74 http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=72 Just added Chapter 2 to our YouTube Channel. (opens in a new window-click-pop) It's divided in to three parts. Check it out and pass it along! http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=72 http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=70 We just added the new Props pages by popular request Take a look and enjoy. We will be adding more in the near future! http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=70 http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=68 Hey All, Marshall and myself (Eric) have completed the necessities for Chapter 3 and handed them over to Pete for rendereing. Pete has already handed over half of the shots to the editing crew and is working on rendering the new items. While they're working on that, Marshall and I have now moved on to chapters 4 and 5. Blacksheep Productions has spent the last six months re-tooling all the post FX in chapter 3 from the ground up. Everything learned from the first two chapters is now being poured into the next chapter, this time with 2010 technology. Chapter 3 is going to have a new look from the previous. Chapter 4 and beyond, even more so. Below are a few images of work in progress. There are no spoilers as these are just model re-works, textures, lighting and atmospherics. Enjoy, more to come! Eric (HK-882) Blacksheep Squad. 88th cav. http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=68 http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=66 Hey IMPS fans, So this past week, Dave and I (Nathan) went out to visit Eric in his beautiful chateau in the forest filled mountains to work on more prop and costume parts. The crisp mountain air and higher altitude made for some excellent AB mixing of Polyurethane. While we waited for molds to kick, Eric gave us his ‘dog and pony’ show of the look of new and unexplored Relentless hanger bays for Chapter 4. All I’m going let on is that I feel bad you’re going have to wait to see them, because they are a new level of WOW! The good news is that, very soon, Pete should be handing me a lot of the final FX shots for Chapter 3 and I believe some of the afore mentioned Chapter 4 plates make an appearance at the very end of 3. That means I get to hit high gear with the editing and deliver picture lock to Andy so he can give it the sweet, sweet sounds and score that we all love to hear. Visiting with Eric was additionally awesome as he monitors way more of the message boards and.. http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=66 http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=64 Hey IMPS fans, Chapter 3 editing has been under way for quite sometime now, but we hit a fixable snag. Our cutting system has been AVID DV Express on the greatest technology 2002 had to offer with a Mac 15" laptop. I’ve heard that DV Express was discontinued three years ago so you all can imagine how fun tech support would be. We are now updating all the Chapter 3 (and beyond) edits and footage to Final Cut Pro on a borrowed Mac laptop. Woo! The bad news is all the catch up, the good news is that we skip two generation losses by foregoing an on-line session. So hopefully the end result will be more technically pleasing. As for voices, we’ve been doing a good amount of sifting as we try to bring the same level of quality performances for each character without using the same people too many times. We’re happy to find that all the major roles have been casted and dialog editing is underway. Please enjoy a few of our photos from the pick up ‘green screen’ shoot we did in J.. http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=64 http://ImpsTheRelentless.com/tek9.asp?pg=news&specific=62 Happy Holidays and New Year from the Blacksheep Crew!
