Starting today I'm gonna be sharing with you, my newest project, I'm doing an Animated feature film, mostly on my own, the wife is helping where she can, mostly on the scripting part...My team is very small, it's mostly me and her, I commissioned my brother a another friend to do some some modeling, but i would say that so far 75% of all modeling and 100% of animation and rendering has been my responsibility...
For this project I just invested on 8 new GTX 1070 gigabyte OC Edition, assembled a new pc, and have 5 more gtx 780 (4 6gb and 1 gb), I also invested in an MSI laptop gt72s 6qe dominator pro G with 48gb ram gtx 980m (8gb) among some other small gear... oh for the "clusters" we have 1 amfeltec (brand new) and 1 cubix expander.
I hope you enjoy the videos and pic I'll be sharing and please do comment constructively as all opinions are essential for me to be able to make the best movie possible visually... budget wise I'm doing all this mainly without anymore budget, I started looking for international funds recently but its been tough so far.
this Movie comes as a sequence of a previous one I made back in 2013/2014 called the Brats and toy thief which was nominated for best African Animation by the African Movie Academy Awards in 2014, I made this 12 min short at the time (modeling, editing, animation and some of the sound design) all by myself and without any funds, you can see the full short here :

I'll be sharing more videos and my progress in the following weeks, and today the 14th I'm starting with the trailer, hopefully in 2 months max THAT will be done! (fingers crossed
.Thanks for watching!
... here follows some WIP shots of a Racetrack Set thats gonna be in our movie..all rendered in Octane, the images are a little noisy because I didnt set high samples as it was just Test renders...I hope you like them, there are still some stuff missing for the final Set to be complete...people, other cars, Dust, Signs, etc, etc..
