Another fun demo animation from the archive. I was indeed "working on the railroad all day long"...
https://tv.filmfreedom.net/w/vu8AsAY4Tx3N8HsqPQF5ML
Of course, this is the exterior set for the "Train" sequence. It is mostly seen in reflection in the actual scene. We see very little of it directly.
I had also done a big comparison test on how to handle the weeds on the embankment. My first attempt was with low-poly 3D modeled plants. But a manageable number and vertex count did not look good. So instead, these are a particle system with painted billboards for each plant. There's still lots of parallax from the movement, because there are many individual billboards at different distances.
This became the model I used for vegetation for most of the episode.
Sadly, I probably won't get much use of this technique on the Moon.

Continuing to re-upload the old broken videos on our PeerTube.
Here's a silly one for the late-night crowd.
"Learning Curve"
This is a collection of me attempting to animate Georgiana's newly-rigged face.
You'll notice this is not the final version of the character model. She went through some more revisions after this.

I'm considering creating a side-by-side of this 2013 animatic with the 2026 fully-animated version. It'll require a lot of stretching and squeezing -- some shots were cut, many were different lengths, etc.
But it'd probably still make a good DVD featurette.
We've come a LONG way since this.

MY "13 years ago", though, was the release of the first full animatic of our pilot episode. Which has, through, later decisions, become three episodes. I also had to break up the original one-hour pilot into smaller chunks to publish it on YouTube.
And semi-coincidentally, I broke it in more-or-less the same places as the 3-episode breakdown. SO... these videos roughly correspond to animatics for episodes 1-3.
VERY rough work, obviously. These are animatics. This was what we delivered to supporters of the first "Pre-Production" Kickstarter (on DVD). It was actually a bit more than we promised. I had originally said we'd do temporary voices for it.
But in fact, by the time we put this out in early 2013, we had already recorded the real voice work for the episode, so I included that. This version also used upgraded storyboards, where I composited in the best-available character concept art drawings from Daniel to fit the shot, wherever possible. There's also a mishmash of other techniques -- edited photos, Blender animatics (for the moon shuttle in particular), and so on. It's uneven. And SOME of the minor voices are temporary.
Of course, the real purpose of an animatic is not for fans, but to use as a guide for production.
Part 1 - Roughly the current "No Children in Space"
https://tv.filmfreedom.net/w/mAM35CbtWoAAoJzNELWTUd
Part 2 - Roughly the current 2nd episode, with working title "From the Earth..." But I've also considered calling it "Translunar" or "TLI".
https://tv.filmfreedom.net/w/2d4JaunhNW99xX9jWtEYbP
Part 3 - Roughly the current 3rd episode, with working title "...To the Moon" But I'm considering "The Landing" or "The Arrival" or "Iridium". Don't know yet.
https://tv.filmfreedom.net/w/5WK7XfNyyK5yU3Fg5vYTKy
Part 4 - This is mostly just the credits, but includes the dinner-table scene at the end of episode 3.
https://tv.filmfreedom.net/w/7F7qtL5YPZbJtu7FuHfaK3
As you can see, I am still working on producing these. It is the first segment that I just completed animation on, which is now our 22-minute pilot, "No Children in Space". The titles is a quote from the voice-over that laments that, up to this time, there had been "no children in space", which of course, changes during this episode.
