Yeah, I hate that myself, so why do it? :-)

Uh... You did read that "A short in PRE-PRODUCTION" part, right? It might
take quite a while...

Hm. Personally, I don't think the style of that sentence fits with the final
statement "Because that's how he wiped himself off the earth."
Might have worked at an earlier time, but now I guess I'm too attached to
the current phrasing...

Hmmmm another varient, maybe: "Some things would have been better... had
they been left imperfect."

Not till you mentioned it. Something must have rubbed off working in a
cinema all those years :-)

Yes that is something I did not think of. Everyone has their own
reading speed and for me, the slight frustration of wanting to turn
the page adds to the suspense.
These things, IMO, make it a good trailer irrespective of the content
or the wording.

Thanks for the praise. I just hope I think about everything when I make my
short. :-)

I think I understand what you are trying to convey Tim. You want it to
be more a statement in hindsight rather than a statement of fact.
I toyed around with a few sentences myself and finally came up with..
It might have been better to have left some things imperfect.
What do you think?
Love the teaser can't wait for the final.
Regards
Dave.

A mighty long sentence. :-) Would throw the timing off, as I'd need to show
that one longer in order to be sure that it can be read in time. It does
convey my idea though, but I think I'll leave the trailer as it is now.
Thanks anyway!
> Love the teaser can't wait for the final.
Thanks! I'm glad people here are Povers, so they are used to having
patience. I'm not even 100% sure if I can get the short done this year as
there are things ahead of me which'll probably require quite some time. But
I hope to have some thing to show soon, so that I can create a small webpage
for it and keep peeps updated. :-)
Regards,
Tim

Just for those interested (and this seems the proper thread for that): I've
made a small site to showcase the Teaser (and eventually Behind the Scenes
stuff like test-renders and test-animations, once I get to that phase :-) )
and create a place where people should look if they want to know if there's
been progress.
http://www.nolights.de/chasm/index.html
The site will probably change and evolve once I get a better idea of how
much and what I want to reveal before the short is finished. After all, I
don't want to give the ending away. :-)

Tim

Well, I most definately want to see MORE! =)
And, I assume you learn a lot during the process of making Chasm.
Maybe you will afterwards put up some general tips based on your experience
for other potential animation creators out there..? like me... =)

Good, mission accomplished. :-)

I surely will. At the moment things are moving at a very slow pace, I'm
working on the "Down the Drain" image and have a lot to do with digitally
reconstructing a castle that was destroyed 1763. Aside of that, I've got
other worries that need taking care of.
Generally, things start out just like you create still images. You need to
find a lighting that fits, proper colors and contrasts, camera angles...
It's a little more difficult for an animation because you'll probably end up
having to create a set which will look good from various points instead of
just one. But I'll share tips and troubles I run into on the website, as far
as they don't spoil the story.
Regards,
Tim
