August 2023 Monthly Report
This month, I did a lot of production work, which accounts for most of this video:
First experiments with manually setting up compositing from rendered EXR-stream animation.
SR-SoyuzRollout sequence completed, including re-timing SR-1-C and revising the music to accommodate the longer sequence.
Revised Kdenlive assembly for TB-TouringBaikonur and TR-Train sequences.
Worked on reconstruction of TR-Train shot. This is to undo accidentally link breakage that happened years ago, as well as revising the external shot to use an alpha-transparency to be composited with TR-3 animation from the train interior (no longer trying to animate Georgiana separately in TR-2.
I also installed Blender on the Dell PowerEdge R720 server, copied the Lunatics source and Render folders to it, and started rendering shots there. I purchased this server to use for colocation of our web resources, replacing the current Cloud-based configuration. But I realized that while I have the server on site, I should use it to do rendering. It's much faster than my workstation, and I'm not ready to deploy it as a web server yet.
