Hello Blenderheads, I’d like to finally and proudly announce the release of my newest animated film, and first film created entirely using Blender, Cold Dark Mirror.
I hope it is a huge success for you on Vimeo on Demand,that was a lot of work done! Are you looking to get any distribution deals so it can get into Cinemas worldwide?
My first two films I went the regular way with film distributors, for this one it’s a bit of a test to see if I can self-promote through social media, word of mouth, and google ads directly to fans and build my audience that way. Time will tell which is the better way of doing it in the long run.
Yeah it takes me about 2 years from the start to do a feature. That’s once the script is finalized, the storyboards are done, the dialog is recorded and the animatic rough cut is ready. A little bit of preparation at that point so you know all the sets, characters, models, and effects that you will need. Animating everything is the big part, obviously. I try to get 8 sec. of finished shots on average per day.
