Hey, I was at Odikon

[BYFstudios]

wish i could have been there. damn my dreams involving cash!!!!!!!!

[NostalgiaFredFan]

It was only like 60 bucks, but it was totlly worth it. I used to live there so I know where everything is.

BALTIMORE REPRESENT

[marbs376]

Epic!!

[SchlossRitter]

Too bad about the program crash. At least it made for an interesting anecdote.

[CTrax]

Did Brett (or anyone on the team) have "official" training to learn Final Cut? I'm thinking of becoming Adobe cert trained and wondered if it's worth the price.

[PBCProductions]

Nope! Chad was a media arts major in college and honed his Final Cut skills there, and Brett studied under Mr. Williams' fine tutelage over the past year and a half. Both also credit Professor Trial And Error as a major contributor to their skills of an artist.

[JPPT1974]

Seems like Brett & Chad know what they are doing. Really you all are something!

[CTrax]

"Chad was a media arts major in college and honed his Final Cut skills there"

So... you DID have training to learn Final Cut?

[jodalita]

Shave those sideburns, please... It worked on Elvis but it doesn't work on you. No offense...

[JPPT1974]

Seems like you all had a blast doing this! Keep up the good work!

[sinistermoon]

That was awesome.

[KazaBullx]

Was this only shown at Otakon? I was hoping to see the finished product.

[PBCProductions]

Actually the finished film was our video from last week! Look at our videos and click on the one right before this one.

[marceloyanez111]

so yo finished version was the colossal epic battle?

[PBCProductions]

Yup! You can actually see footage from the finished video littered throughout this one.

[marceloyanez111]

i just saw collosal epic battle and i remember much of the scenes from this vid in the other! nice job

[Onirayushizobura]

Oh, wow, it crashed on you? That must be VERY frustrating. How many hours worth of progress did you lose?

[PBCProductions]

We lost about an hour's worth of rendering time - which is why we couldn't show the finished piece in its full glory at the end. Normally Brett would have been saving every 5 minutes, but since we were rushing, we paid the price.

[andrewschon]

That was awesome. It was great to see how that was filmed. I also think I picked up a couple of director tips in there as well-Thanks PBC!
