Alright!

This is the biggest accomplishment from HBC so far :) Though actually
all the earlier releases so far were made _during_ the making of this
prod.

The initial main theme of the film is the cars that ride across the
desert. The cars obviously represent the makers of this film, and actually
everyone thought up and modelled their own cars, which was nice :).
Although I made the D Fast's limousine and the mini-vehicle because he
was busy with the music-track, of course. However, korpi never got
his own car, but his name is written in stone for everyone to remember.

The planning started at February 18th 2008 with our 8-person production
team + musician. There have been lots and lots of work.

Software used:
- Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 and 2009 (Scanline, Mental Ray, Vray)
- Autodesk Maya 8.5
- Adobe After Effects CS3
- Adobe Photoshop CS3
- The Foundry Nuke 5.0
- Eyeon Fusion 5.0
- Nevercenter Silo 2
- Blender
- Wings3D
- Renoise 1.8

I was planning on encoding this video in .mkv with some open source
methods with the help of this tutorial:
wiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/From_Image_Sequence_to_Video_File
But it got VERY busy before deadline, and after it (again) - so I had
to act as quick as possible.

Specific settings in MeGUI were meant to be these:

Codec: x264
File Format: MKV
Video profile: HQ-Insane
Automated 2pass
6000 kbps bitrate

B O N U S:

There ain't bonuses straight in this release because we didn't have the time.
However, I want to publish a separate package full of making-of scenes,
storyboards, schedules and DVD-covers immediately after I have recovered from
the nearly 48-hour-without-sleep workday I spent on this film.
