Instead of celebrating everytime a scene is completed as a previs animatic, I’ve buckled down to focus on developing at least 10-15 minutes of content at a time to share. 

X and Y, Previs Episode 1 from XandY Film on Vimeo.

A couple of interesting points about video editing with blender came to my attention in putting this together.

1.  It doesn’t appear you can import raw video editing data from one blend file to the next.  So I had to render out seperate mpegs and then combine the rendered video in a master blend file.

2.  A video with audio will come into the blender editor as two seperate data pieces.  So you can render video and sound seperately and then combine to make better transitions.  I didn’t do this in the interest of time.  Instead you’ll notice I just left a quick black break between each scene.

That’s all for now.  I’ll plan on posting when the next previs episode is ready which is probably a couple a months away.
