Pharaoh's room

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Tuesday, May 28, 2019, In : News

Hey all!

As you all know, we are still at the frog plague (thankfully not for lack of work on Exodus itself, hehe). To be more precise, we are at the point where the plague continues over night, because the conversation went like this:

"And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to th...

Production status update

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Saturday, March 30, 2019, In : News

Hey all!

Long time no post, hehe.

I'm glad to say that Exodus is not a project that has been dropped by any means. I just have a lot on my plate and I'm actually working on an aspect of it that I really want to share with you guys!

For a while now, I really have felt that the LORD wants me to write original music. Considering that I have basically 0 experience writing songs, this was not something that I jumped into with confidence. In fact, I didn't. While going for piano lessons, I learned how...

Hey all!

This week's vlog!

GOD is beyond words!!! Just wow!!

- Re-Rendering a lot...of the same, haha

Like the last time I got to vlog, these weeks contained a lot of re-rendering. With the new 10-layer method, it means that some scenes have too many artifacts... I tried rendering some shots with it to get a much sharper result, but honestly, some shots are only going to be as good as they are with the methods I currently have at my disposal. A lot of re-rendering has occurred these weeks. On...

The right frog

- Frog choice

So, it was sooooo long ago, how do we know what frog to use. Well, honestly and truly, we depend on the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT to make the absolute best selection possible. For me, HE takes me through research and in that process directs me to this or that article. For example, the research led to nothing on wikipedia alone. And I mean literally nothing. There was nothing to say what kind of frogs you would typically find in Egypt ...

Reptilian enough

- Wind sound
Of course, the grasshoppers are still a way off, but whenever I do get the chance to, I like to make the sounds that will come up. That way when the time comes I can just throw them into the edit - keeps the work going. Anyway, last week I spoke about using tape for wind noise and this week (recorded it last week) I got to edit it!! Yay!! It sounds a bit repetitive in a way, but honestly, I absolutely luv how it turned out! GOD is so aw...

A third trip around the block

Hey all!

Here is this week's vlog!!

GOD is so great!

- Super resolution revisit
In the vlog this week I made a stop at super-resolution again, not to be repetitive, but I really saw the video didn't demonstrate what it does well. Now, having redone it and checking it, I'm satisfied you can now actually see and understand what it does on a very practical level. So, if you want to, you can check out Reshade (as always, completely at own risk).

- Real river sound
I told you guys last week that...

Hey all!

This week's vlog:

GOD is so awesome!!!!!!

HUGE NOTE:
Of course, as with all software recommendations on this site, through-out all time, results may vary and you use them completely at your own risk. I only share what has worked for me personally and can't make any guarantees for anyone else. In fact, I have to warn you that even something that is supposed to work out of the box, can cause you to have to format and lose all your data (almost lost all my data before due to trying to in...

- Dangers and Benefits of 3D
This week I feel like I'm a bit of a "boy who cried wolf" situation. I've done a little digging on the adverse effects of watching 3D and I found some websites swooning over it and they have not cautions, except that the same precautions be taken as with 2D (things like photosensitive epilepsy, not having the screen too bright, etc.). I have been working on this method for years and I have to be honest, I have experienc...

What's that sound

- Voice actors
Yey, today this can be the first topic! :D
Last week, I took the plunge and sent out a few e-mails asking specific friends I felt fit the roles, if they would be willing to record those roles for the video and I have so far only heard back from one - Pharaoh! Who could it possibly be?! Just have to wait to find out! There has to be some mystery to this project! :D
So I am still waiting to hear back from the rest, but I did miss some...

Timelapses and audio

Hey all!

This week's vlog:

GOD is so wonderful!!

- Audio:
Voices
Like I said in the video, the stark reality of a lack of voice actors is kinda a surprise after you start production. Of course, this round, nothing new, but I have considered various means of achieving different voices - even considered using digital voices, but they just don't really act, you know. There are better programs out there that do allow you to get better voices, but unfortunately, my budget does not allow for any n...
