Law School Episode 3 - Progress update #17

Oh boy, we’re getting awfully close to the 20th update…

Last week was different in many ways.

It all started like any other normal week—me working on renders and the script as usual. But out of nowhere, an idea planted itself in my brain:
"What if I created a 1-minute fully animated trailer for Law School - Season 1?"

Yup. Around 1,600 frames of animation were created and rendered last week. The final animation finished rendering this morning, and… I now have a trailer! And it looks amazingly mid!
Worth it? Totally.

Somehow, it only took me about three days to create all the animations. But for reasons unknown, I was completely knackered from Friday to Saturday—I slept around 14 hours a day. I think breaking my usual rhythm of “wake up → crank animations” flipped a switch in my body that went:
"Oh wait, I’m tired."

I slowly started picking up the pace again yesterday, but I’m not fully back yet. Hopefully this week will be better.

So yeah, we’ve got a trailer… but also a very tired MisterMaya. As a result, I didn’t get much 3D work done last week.
BUT! I did write the entirety of DAY 7, so that’s a win.

Now, let’s talk numbers:

📸 3,023 static story images
🎞️ 82 animations
📝 51 fully written scenes

Only 81 new renders and one additional animation since last week, but hey—we have a trailer! (Selling what I can here 😅)

I’ve ordered a voiceover for the trailer, so it’s not ready to share just yet, but as soon as it is, you’ll be the first to see it. I’m genuinely happy with how it’s turning out!

Also… we officially broke 3,000 renders—yay! 🥳
Let’s stay focused though, because I don’t think we’ll reach 4,000. Which means… I’m entering the final stretch of this episode. I’ll do my best to finish it quickly and move on to the next phase:
me curled up in the corner of my room, in fetal position, crying my eyes out.
A.K.A. the post-work phase.

That’s it for this week’s update!

Sorry I couldn’t deliver as many renders as usual, but I’ll catch up next week.

Take care and see you soon,
MisterLazy

Interesting...when you say voiceover, do you mean a general narration or character voices?
