DVD released

Wheeew! What a day!
While I was eating my dinner with Mom, a big Truck stopped at our house. I knew what it was. And indeed: The whole stock of the DVD copies!
I cannot describe the feeling when I opened the first box and saw all these beautiful DVD cases. Now the Discs just had to work, too! We immediately stuffed one in the DVD player. I never was this anxious in my life. But the whole thing

Unexpected obstacle

Wolfgang Mittendorfer, the Composer of the Soundtrack in the Vosgian Beast Film didn't charge any fee for his wonderful work . Instead of that, he just asked that I add the movie to the international Movie database. He said: "a lot of producers "forget" this step." But it's be important, because it would add a new reference to his list. His official imdb Site hence displays much less films than

My back is like Jacks back

My spine is as rotten as was once JFK's - we have this in common and this may be a reason for our bond ;-)

But well, my back was so nice to wait with a new breakdown-crisis until the DVD is finished. But then, yesterday, it was the big blocking. I had cold in my bed because I could not move to reach out for the second blanket. All my back was frozen in pain. No way to get up for a piss or so.

It's done!

The final DVD copy of the Vosgian Beast Film has been packed up and will be sent off tomorrow, on its way to the pressing factory.

A couple of really hard days are behind me, days of pure desperation, because every time when I believed that a problem was solved, another one emerged. It was like a curse. And yes, there are STILL hundreds of things that I sincerely wish to redraw, re-animate or

Little good things

Since I have to rebuild the entire film, I also decided to rework on some animations. The Clip introducing JFK riding trough the woods was simply too crappy. I redrew the entire animation and I must say that I am pretty pleased with the result. It was worth these few days of extra-work. Don't worry, I'm not gonna redraw the entire film, despite the fact that I probably should.

Restart

The Problems I am encountering at the building of the German and English Versions seem to be unsolvable. I don't know how many test-DVDs have been thrown into the Trash-Bin by now.
I believe that it is my old, buggy Program; Adobe Premiere Pro. I have bought a new Program, Vegas Platinum 10, from my inheritance, but since the whole Project was built up in Premiere, I wanted to finish it there,

French Version finished.

Well, I finally managed to get at least the French version of the Film ready. I burnt it on DVD and sent it as submission to the Festival. It was hard to admit that the moment was there when I had to say "okay, its done, it is far from being perfect, but there is not any more improvement possible. I did all what I can. THIS is the final result."
Now I am working on cleaning up the German and the

BURN-OUT!

I really thought that once the film is finished, the hardest part will be done.
Well, it's not. The hardest part is building up that damned DVD. How many time have I reviewed the Film on my TV? And EVERY time I discover a new error, a new flaw. Some kind of little shit I didn't see or hear before.
Corrected the too loud sound in sequence 2 of the French version. Fine, it works, but now, the

Covers: Round 2

I I worked a bit on the covers, here are the actual versions:

Nr. 1 A totally new version where I tried to combine the advantages of the previous two versions:

Nr. 2 Head of beast faded, but with lighted eyes.

Nr. 3 old version 2, but with the new title font.

Nr. 4: faded head, faded eyes, too.

Duck and Cover!

Okay, in order to justify the title, here's the Duck:


And now, let's talk about the cover.As you may know, a lot of Comics and illustrated books have their cover done by an other artist than the one who did the inside. For a good reason: Cover Art is something special, it requires skills that the artist who may be  good at comic pages and story-telling Illustrations, lack. This is also the case
