Gagala News (G-log #3)

The good news is that PhillipThe2 created a new masterpiece for the Fourth of July. Thank you for sharing, Phil, and for the great job you did! The bad news is that Phil was furloughed from his job for two months due to layoffs in the video game industry. Let's keep our fingers crossed for him!

Until now, I have been cheating a bit with the text in my current animation project. Synchronizing the lips to the spoken text takes a lot of work for a rookie like me, so I made them speak when they were not visible. Now, I'm at the final scenes, and Ann enters the room. I can't use this trick for all scenes, though. Kim will speak, and this must be seen, just like part of Ann speaking. I'm working as fast as I can, but carefully. The most time is lost correcting errors, but sometimes errors are discovered too late, and removing them would require too much effort. What bothers me most is that I can't afford the professional voice actors I found. I'm disappointed with some of the voices, but I can't help it. Most of the material is too compressed (MPEG), so the range for manipulating it is too narrow. You can even hear that it was manipulated when I try to extend an original moan of Kim's, so I have to abandon that idea. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

It will surely take a lot of time until this project starts, but at least I have the cover done... ;)

The Savannah work file is now available for supporters, and she's wearing only her jewelry.

Kimmie is losing control and producing a moist mess on the carpet.

To shorten the story, I don't want you to wait too long, so I've cut several scenes, including a dream sequence where Kim meets Chaniqua. After this scene, there will only be three more scenes, and then it will be finished. The end credits will follow, which makes the whole movie quite long. But honor to whom honor is due, so it has to be.

Thank you Phil, you have done great again!

The scene 18 animation is in progress. There will be one more of Shaniqua and one more of Kim, and then Ann will appear. I'm also searching for a nice moan for Shaniqua, which will be the last foreign voice. The next lines for Kim and Ann will be taken from the original series.

Platinum supporters can check the WIP folder on the main page to see how much the animation has grown so far.

Thank you for your endless patience and so generous support!

Oops, RAM full? I just exported the latest version of KP: Busted as an MP4 video, and for the first time I received a warning that my memory is low. I don't play videos, so I don't need much memory on my PC. However, I don't know how Shotcut works. It looks like my 32 GB of memory won't be enough soon, and the animation is only halfway done. Currently it has a total length of 1:51 minutes and the 8k version is 71.8 MiB in size. I will try to find more information about Shotcut's memory usage, but the easiest solution would be to split the production into two videos that I can combine later rather than buying new RAM. It's frustrating that I've always had motherboards with four RAM slots, yet I've never needed more than two. Now, I can only replace the RAM instead of adding more because my current motherboard only has two slots.

Once again, I must complain about the AI voices. It's too early for such a production; the AI technique is still in its infancy. It's unfortunate that the voices sound a bit awkward. Searching the web for something more suitable would take too much time, and professional AI voices are out of my budget.

Thanks for your patience and support!

Update: Shotcut minimum system requirements: RAM: At least 4 GB for SD, 8 GB for HD, and 16 GB for 4K. No word about 8K, so I guess it will be 32GB. Seems I will have to get used to that warning message.

A new masterpiece by PhillipThe2 with Ann and a pool toy. Summer begins next Friday.

Thank you Phil, you have done great again!

The animation "KP: Busted" is still in progress. Scene 17, which features Chaniqua, is currently being worked on and will be animated next. The project is halfway done. There are about three more scenes until Ann appears.
