Excuse me for being a dumb moron who doesn't know anything about the art of filmmaking, but how is this race still not done after 5 years of delays?State of the Wall wrote:In case you didn’t see my announcements about it elsewhere, the Game Show Reviewer and I have decided it would be best to not work on the Space Race portion – the missing segment of the Contest – until I put together the compilation video of all the storyline segments. The reason is pretty simple: the effects work. The race is effects heavy unlike any other we’ve done – it’s a fairly long script for it as it is, but since it’s either green screened cockpits or spaceships doing a loooot of spaceship stuff, it’s all CGI and he’s one dude doing it all. He already had to delay a lot of work because he got married back in November, but we estimate it’ll take waaaay too long to finish this if it’s our priority and we both agree on one thing: this storyline needs to end.
The Contest of Champions was supposed to be a fun, quick, easy storyline but things have just kept conspiring to screw it up – the pandemic, needing to rely on other actors, the amount of effects necessary not just for the race segment, but ALL the segments. It technically began in 2017 and we’re now in 2023. A third of my show’s existence has been devoted to it and I’ve had to put off other storylines I’ve wanted to do, cut a bunch of content I had originally planned for it… and yeah, this just needs to end.
If this is just some (no doubt "spectacular") CGI fest with people greenscreened into cockpits, which part of the pandemic caused this to be put on a hiatus? None of the people involved in this should ever even have to be in the same city, ffs.
Or did your genius mind insist that characters have to sit in the same cockpit? Just have the vehicles have separate cockpits for each crew member. It worked for Gurren Lagann and Dynazenon.
What I'm suspecting here is that you caused these delays because you refused to change your precious storyline to make it easier for everyone involved to just film their shit from their own homes.
Back to having 90s Kid (aka you) be possessed by evil gods I guessOnce it’s done, we’ll move onto the next storyline – the Architects of Mirrors, which is considerably simpler, less effects heavy, less other actors, and finally resolves a few things in the background that have been simmering. I appreciate everyone’s patience during all this.
