IMPS news

We hope everyone had a good holiday season and a happy new year. Now that the festivities have slowed down a bit we are back on board for continuing production of the next Chapters.

As we stated a while back, Chapter 2 has been picture locked and is awaiting sound / music. We had to arrange a deal to get Chapter 2 and 3 sound worked on at the same time so we are in the stages of adding finalized FX shots to fill in the blanks of Chapter 3 at this time.

In the past, many of you have asked if there are ways to help out with the project. Well, here’s your chance:

I.M.P.S. is enlisting now for a CG post on planet Earth.
(The little blue rock on the ass end of the galaxy)

If you, or anyone you know, is skilled in the following: Combustion, Shake, After Effects, Digital Fusion, and/or Lightwave and Lightwaves IK Booster, this may be just for you.
We need high-end compositors, animators, character animators, modelers and/or texture artists who would like to volunteer time to I.M.P.S.

It will be necessary for you to have high-speed Internet access.

If you’re interested, please send us an email. Place “IMPS Enlistment” in the subject line.
Please do not attach files to the email, instead, send us a link to any work, and/or demos you have. Still compositions, short animations, etc., would be great – anything that represents your work and current skill level. You can attach a CVS to the email – preferably a pdf. (A CVS is not required, however, as we are more interested in seeing your work.)

To anyone else that would like to help, we are in need of multiple hosting/streaming locations for people to watch or download the I.M.P.S. chapters. Any recommendations you have, please let us know. We are looking into Stage6, Vuze, Bit torrent, and other media hosting servers. We would prefer not to split a chapter into segments, find locations that have little to no cost and is easily accessible to the world! Send us some links and we’ll check them out to see if they’ll work for us.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Blacksheep Productions

IMPS 3rd quarter update: Chapter 2 is picture locked. The foley has been delayed on the chapter as we are combining the sound FX process with Chapter 3. (We’ve obtained a great foley connection, so we’re killing two Mynocks with one swipe of a Wookies paw.)

In the meantime, we are working diligently on Chapter 3 so both chapters can go to foley at the same time. The remaining work we have on Chapter 3 is replacing the temporary visual FX with the final rendered shots and re-do of some of the character voice overs. Unfortunately, we still do not have any release dates.

Hey Everyone! Yes, we’re still alive as is the IMPS project. Production is moving along slowly but we’re determined to get things done. In between hectic schedules, jobs and a Blacksheep Studio(house) transition we’ve been making progress toward the completion of Chapter 2.

News for the month(s): Slow. Music and foley for Chapter 2 is still in process and we are working on the post-production items for the remaining chapters. For now, it’s just slow but steady…

Just added some production photos for Chapter 2. Getting closer to a release date!
