A Very Long Post

Hi! There are so many things that happened in the course of two days, including... Well, you'll see. The post is so long I'm splitting it into sections. Have fun!

OP Attacks M

Megatron and Optimus!

Stab! Stab! Ow!

Ow...

Yes it finally happened! We rendered OP stabbing M with his sword and pushing back so that Megatron would fall down. 

Megatron Looks Up

OMG! Epic! He looks up!

Megatron looks up to see Jazz coming own on him.

Very epic indeed.

Jazz in the Dundundun Sequence!

You know the sequence in the beginning where it goes dundundundundundun and it shows all the Autobots? Of course you don't, we never showed it to you. But anyway its there and we added Jazz to the last time it does the dundundundundun thing. Confused? Heres the dundundundundun sequence:

We Modeled Blackout!

Blackout's meager beginning

Hey Blackout, look over there! ... Ha, pulled your leg.

Now now Blackout... Lets not be waist-ful!

Blackout's Poster!

So we modeled Blackout. Unfortunately, we can't put him in the music video, because there is no room.

Oh, wait, scratch that last bit. We do have room for a special sneak peek at the end! Whew.

Even though Blackout is barely in our video yet, he still gets his own wallpapers, so go check 'em out!

Thats about it. Have fun, and I hope the next post won't be too long. ;)

J jumps in air, landing next to Megatron, 3 secs. long

J's Final Punch, 4 secs. long

Titles, each clip 3 secs. long

Surprise Blackout Clip at the End, 5 secs. long

Optimus Faces Off!!!

Megatron OP and Jazz

Today we rendered a scene where Optimus puts out his cybersword!

Also, we realized that we could fit more clips in then we thought previously, so it will take a little longer to get to the titles.

More Wallpapers To Look At!

One of the cool wallpapers now in the Wallpaper page!

We have been rooting around for fresh wallpapers, and whadayaknow, we found em'!

Now you can see both Op and BB in the same wallpaper (above), close ups of Megatron and Jazz, a cool blue version of the Ironhide poster, Ironhide's guns and much more, now on the wallpaper page!

Oh, and, did you check out the HQ Wallpaper like we told you to? You didn't? Shame on you. Go right to the wallpaper page and check it out!

Our First FX Clip!

Shot, Pre FX

Shot, After FX

Why are we doing an effects shot? Because our computer doesn't have enough memory for BB, Megatron, Ironhide, and the entire city set at the same time. This requires some screen magic. Merging a clip with Megatron kicking Ironhide, and then the air, with a clip of Megatron kicking the air, and then kicking Bumblebee, we managed to make two shots for one shot, blending the two seamlessly with a matte. 

Slight drawback: The software we are using to matte the two doesn't exactly have HD. Uh-oh. Coming soon is another sneak peek, this time of the clip we are currently matting. See for yourselves the only FX clip in the Music Video!

Also, we are thinking about putting our finished video on both YouTube™ and Vimeo. Do you like that idea? Vote, on our new poll!

Upcoming Clips:

OP Attacks M, 4 secs. long

J's Final Punch, 4 secs. long

Titles, each clip 3 secs. long

Woot! Only a little more to go!

Megatron Kicks Ratchet

In this render, Megatron kicks Ratchet, sending him out of the fight.
This leaves Ironhide, BB, OP and Jazz.
Going good so far!

Megatron Untransforms

Rarr!!!

Megatron un-transforms into his robot mode to fight. We have only FIVE renders left to show the battle.

We had better start!

Ratchet Rendered

Today I rendered a new clip, introducing Ratchet to the final fight.
I may have to redo the Ironhide and Bumblebee clip though, as it looks slightly fake.

-- GS

New Render!

Bumblebee

Bumblebee and Ironhide come down to help fight Megatron!

New Frames!

Jazz and Optimus

Megatron Transformed

Most recently we did a few renders involving Megatron, Jazz, and Optimus for the ending. There's going to be an awesome battle at the end between them! Everything is going smooth as silk as far as getting the music video done. Until then, heres a short preview, showing Demolisher's demise and Megatron...

More coming soon...
