In Response To: Re: Halo Movie (Louis Wu) : This MIGHT be an overestimate - 2000 hours is 12 weeks (of 24 hour days), or : (assuming you did NOTHING but work on the video for 18 hours a day, then : spent 6 hours eating, crapping, and sleeping, with no breaks) 16 weeks : (which gets us back to the first week in April). : 2000 hours is 50 weeks of 40-hour weeks (a year's worth of labor for the : average joe). : I'm sure you put a boatload of time into it... but 2000 hours seems high. :) : (I'm not trying to be an asshole, either - just trying to inject some : reality. :) ) : On the bright side, I just found you your first mirror - The Psyjnir : Webmaster has let me put it up at the Psyjnir.com hotline site: : hotline://psyjnir.com/ : (Go to Halo -> Movies -> Reminisance.WMV) : mythica.org is still running at over 10000 kb/sec (22 gigs of the Matrix : movie in just under 4 hours; it's definitely slowing down, at the start it : was spitting out files at the rate of almost 8 gigs/hour), but when it : slows down a bit I'll toss this up there, too. : No offense intended on the time correction - I wish the internet allowed : facial expressions, you'd see I'm smiling. :) I could just be crazy but 2000 divided by 24 is 83 1/3. The 83 1/3 is days, it's a little more than 11 weeks. I didn't spend two thousand hours, i did the math, I spent like 5 hours a day for a month and a half (not everyday) but the titles and stuff took me about 130 hours because I couldn't figure out what song to use you can still hear after effects of some songs in the background, if you play the part in the visor. I'm really not sure, I'm not trying to be technical with the time either, I don't think it's cool to be like "no i really did waste 2000 hours of my life on this" that's not what I was trying to say, I did spend alot of time though, I think that's kind of obvious, but whatever it doesn't matter, I honestly don't know how long it really took, i don't write in when I start and stop for a day, I just play around and I take as long as I need. I usually just get the ideas for stuff I want to do at work so that helps speed up the process and I write down how I want it to look. I made the concept art for the title while I was spaced out at work, that helped a little. Well anyway, I'm just glad you liked it. :) And my 2000 hours statement was rather out of context, so I am sorry for that. I need to be straightened out every once in a while, thank you. Thanks to psyjnir for the mirror, I really appreciate that.
