Time is getting short and LexiConquest is getting finished. This week I spend time compositing and working on the announcer voice over. I feel like I have done very little this week. I have in fact finished the tasks I set out finish and I have made substantial progress on the other tasks that I have planned to make progress on. I guess just the fact that the project is wrapping up and as I finish things and get them off my plate they are no longer immediately being replaced by new tasks feels kind of strange to me. Below I have included three of Arthur’s six animations.

I need to go back into King Arthur’s attack and add some blur in Nuke.

I have the compositing listed as being 50 percent complete, really I think it is a little over that, I marked it at fifty because I want to go back and tweak Arthur’s attack and only three videos are in movie form, I plan to have the compositing done early in the week, Tuesday at the latest.

Below are the samples of the Announcer voice over. They have had slight reverberation added to them to give an arena feel.

On Wednesday night we had another work night. Jason and I spent what seemed like forever going over the game play. This has not been done since last term and we wanted to make sure everything was good. We soon discovered it wasn’t. We revamped the way the player would play through the game.

In all this week I spent about four hours on audio, somewhere between one and a half and two of that was spent recording. I spend somewhere in the ballpark of six or seven hours compositing and I think Jason and I spent something on the order of three hours reworking the game play.  In all this week I spent about 13 hours working, completing 90% of what I wanted too. I wish some more compositing had gotten finished on the other hand the way I have been working has gotten all the animations near completion. This coming week I have listed to finish compositing the animations, like I said earlier I want this to be done by Tuesday at the latest. I need to print the playing surface, which I should get final dimensions and design for tomorrow. Other than that I am providing my bit of content for the website and some renders for our poster.
