What is Roasted Phoenix?

TLDR: Painfully, slowly, in an uncomfortable chair, in front of a computer, while converting Mt Dew into CGI?

Detailed version:

The top level script is prepared to give a rough outline, then through iterations is refined into proof of concepts. Through the process of Idea > Proof > Refine, while looping through the items below, allows me to build and test ideas. This prevents the script from going down a path that the animation cannot follow.

-Characters are created / repurposed to fill the need. Dressed and prepared as you would with any actor/actress.

-The voice overs are AI generated, recorded, and then processed for lip sync. 

-Depending on the video, sets are created in Unreal Engine or are ported into in iClone, as per licensing requirements per asset.

-Assets are mostly licensed through third party, such as the UE Marketplace, Reallusion Content store (Export licenses), Audiio.com, etc. 

-There are also internally developed assets through 3d tools such as Blender, as well as general photography.

-Scenes are filmed with most special effects in place, destructables (UE4), particle effects and key-framing. Additional effects in post-prod. 

-the content for the video, such as a game for review, is prepared as per Fair Use allowances.

Then standard video editor tasks, ie audio balancing, cuts, etc. Perform a QC render to identify any remaining issues, then Final render / publish as per the release process, IE upload, document and etc.

To bring a few smiles to an otherwise meh day. 

Hopefully looking to get to the big studio level, or at least big enough to live happily ever after.

The crew consists of myself, and two cats.
