Machines for Rendering:

Available 24x7 is the 02 in the Lille Sal -- perga -- and the address is pc32229.hum.au.dk

Update ! -- there is some chance this address will not work for you -- you might need the DNS. Let me know.

In the other space, but still in the theatre and available to us are an 02 (knossos -- pc32231.hum.au.dk) and an Octane (aphrodite -- pc32230.hum.au.dk), but these may also be used during the day and into evening by some students for working on their animations.

Wings

This form is a screen grab of what Thomas made, with the colors removed. The proportions are changed -- the legs and arms are a little shorter, the area in between comes down lower. Susan would also like to see these changes and the form with objects (such as suggested by the elegant additions here) added to indicate feet and hands.

Some revising of first scene/ second scene storyboard on hold for a day

18
Thomas out of the office at 15.00

First MPEG of board 1/ screen 2 arrived this morning from Soren

19
Based on what she has seen in this MPEG, Susan begins working out the whole thing -- using some of the boards she has already made, but rearranging their order, etc.

20
Soren working on the corresponding board to the one he has done, which will give us one complete set of images (4 videos) to look at projected in the space

Susan finishing details and drawings for entire piece

Thomas is working on looping the walk from ks.grab

21
Susan to visit Odense couple of hours to go over the entire piece with Soren for feedback

22
Susan and Scott spend the day finishing up and putting online the entire storyboard for the piece

Would be good if everyone from this day on is able to set aside all available time to work with Soren

23
It is great to see rough MPEGs of things when they are completed -- but it depends on how much this slows up the process.
