I created  a360 degree 11 minute sci-fi film using adobe After Effects,3D Studio and Maya,  Esoftware’s Vue and Adobe Premier.  

From storyboard, narrative script, through rendering and graphic element creation to editing and sound design. 

Rendered, animated and modeled in 3D Studio for steroscopic 360 output,  this project required huge amounts of computing power and I had to build my own small renderfarm. 

I lucked out and found a pallet of decommissioned PC’s on ebay for sale for pennies on the dollar and they were perfect.  Small form factor, i3 dell pcs.  

Not the fastest in the world, but networked up together a considerable amount of render cycles.     This film took almost three months of render time to complete.

I then rendered the raw output in Adobe Premier  using a custom built stereoscopic editng template. Then did the final output animation while compositing of special effects in After Effects.

Final colour correction was done with Davinchi Resolove and final encoding was done with Handbrake.
