Well, it’s over 4 months now since the premiere of Happy Hour and we’re more than pleased at the attention and feedback it has received. 26,000 views on Vimeo, world-wide blog coverage, etc. Oh, and an interview in 3D World magazine! So, if you’re interested in reading about the whole process of making the film, grab a copy of issue 144 and browse to the Short Cuts article.

It has been a long time since the last post in August. Too long, I could say. We have had some problems with staying on schedule, so the premiere of our film will be delayed a short while longer. However, I have some good news to tell. We have got almost everything rendered! Only a couple of scenes are still work-in-progress, but it looks like we’ll get everything done before the end of the year.
