🤔

[TodePond]

Counting the Points -original mix then Counting the Points - matt lange remix then No Silence

(with some others thrown in if need)

?

[TodePond]

Ok I've laid out some initial todo-lists to get started

[TodePond]

Storyboard all done and music mostly done I reordered fractal + life/intelligence

[TodePond]

I shortened/lengthened some sections

[TodePond]

berdlabs html done

[TodePond]

I should remake berdlab so that it shows a victory screen!

Gonna have a go at paintlab first

[TodePond]

done PaintLab

[TodePond]

Ok I redid BerdLab (HTML) so that it now shows a victory screen!!

[TodePond]

I've started the PPT version of BerdLab

[TodePond]

Started some work on SandLab

and added a release date

[TodePond]

Made lots of progress on SandLab

gonna change everything to fish

Also I got delayed by covid so I'm pushing back the release date

[TodePond]

SandLab coming along more. Gonna try to get a teaser trailer ready now

[TodePond]

Teaser trailer was done and released. Intro completely done now. I've started on programming language - gonna make the first transition as a practice + to figure it out.

[TodePond]

Audio of intro is dodgy - redo effects

Did more work on sandlab - ready for element making now

[TodePond]

First draft of programming language done - still needs lots of review though

• [x] Lowpass drop needs to last longer, and more signposting
• [x] Sort out noise - raise clip volumes and move denoiser to clips
• [x] Make code clips slightly scaled down with void border
• [x] 'my computer' section looks low prod value - zoom into youtube video?
• [x] too many continuity errors with bot-to-bot
• [x] 'going up through HTML' clip is janky
• [x] can't hear myself in correction section

[TodePond]

• [x] idea: big bold fancy HTML and CSS and MICROSOFT POWERPOINT! Helps break stuff up, and has now prod value and impact.

• [x] In interruption, change the clips to a one-take. They should stack up over and on top of each other.

• [x] Clouds - remove fade to black, just go straight to black at the start

[TodePond]

• [x] Also add slight delay, with me looking at the screen (?), at start of interruption

[TodePond]

Ok redid the first part, programming language completely done now

[TodePond]

Voice for CA 1 done Script for CA 2 done

[TodePond]

Voice for CA 2 done

[TodePond]

Started the video of CA 2 - I think I might switch back to code for CA again!

[TodePond]

Did some more sandlab work, and found this:

• [x] Into clouds transition mismatched - the right edge doesnt connect
• [x] Remove mouth noises in intro
• [x] Remove mouth noises in cloud bit
• [x] Consider pushing the CA intro voiceover a tiny bit later, or re-record to get it shorter (and later)? or just keep it crazy?

[TeraByte-Official]

It's okay, everyone makes mistakes.

[Magnogen]

MAKE IT CRAZY

[TodePond]

Ok will do!

LabLab code done

[TodePond]

Intro noises removed Clouds fixed

[TodePond]

Removed noises from cloud section

[TodePond]

Spaced out CA intro a bit but kept it crazy

[TodePond]

Gonna give credits a go now

[TodePond]

Credits done (except patrons)

[TodePond]

• [x] Outro crops wrong
• [x] Outro needs more lead-in

[TodePond]

• [x] precision error on cloud entry transition
• [x] pulse cells + rules
• [x] extend patron, delay outro

[TodePond]

Outro finished, and credits broll changed, and final highpass transition tuned down a bit

[TodePond]

All points fixed. I think I need to press on in chronological order now. Let's finish up sandlab!

[TodePond]

SandLab code all done - next up, sandlab video

[TodePond]

CA 1 done now

Now facing some options moving forward: I now know the scope of each section so it would be quicker to do all of each part's job together.

We could batch together:

• [x] Script
• [x] Transitions
• [x] Voice 1
• [x] Voice 2

I think it would be good to do those next, because then I can just stay in editing mode until the very end

Let's do all of voice 1 first!? but wait, for that... I probably need fishlab code done first... Is it fishlab time!?

[TodePond]

Fish code nearly done

• [x] Allow negative weights
• [x] Consider merging some neurons related to vision/turning?

[TodePond]

Ok screw that, FishLab is good enough!

Time to finish the script

[TodePond]

Life/Intelligence script 1 done

[TeraByte-Official]

We're around ⅔ the way there. Good job so far. 👍

[TodePond]

Patron pond of fame done. I'll leave it for a day or two in case there are any changes. Back to script!

[TodePond]

AI/Alife script 2 done

[TodePond]

Fractal script done, with some improv bits left in

[TodePond]

All script done! And I did fractal 2 properly :)

[TodePond]

Next up let's do all the transitions

[TodePond]
