2-12-2011// PLACES + PICS SECTIONS, PROGRESS UPDATE

I finally added some content to the Places and Pics sections. Check them out! The first episode is coming along... slowly. The main reason (other than my busy schedule) is because I have to build a ton of characters and sets which are not even being used for the first episode (but will be featured in the closing sequence). After the first episode is done, it should be much faster to make newer episodes as most of the stuff is already built.

I want to release the first episode in March. Whether or not that actually happens is a different story. lol.


1-8-2011 // FIRST EPISODE PROGRESS, CLOSING THEME SONG

The first episode is currently in production! I'm attempting to squeeze in as much animation work as I can during my winter break.

Also, the show's closing theme song has been completed! The song, "Fearless Night", was written and composed by DJ PJ (that's me!). The vocals were arranged and performed by KanaraKante. Look for a video of the closing theme + animation sequence soon.


11-12-2010 // VOICE ACTING PROGRESS

I've been spending the last few weeks working on audio-related matters (voice acting and music), and it's been going great! Most of the major roles have been recorded, and I couldn't be happier with how it's turning out. It should be another week or so before all the voice acting is complete.

It's quite an amazing feeling when a screenplay you wrote years ago finally gets acted out and recorded. But it will be an even more amazing feeling when the animation is completed and released!

If you're interested in another street racing series, check out some productions from MyogiWarrior34. As the creator of (and one of the voice actors for) the series "Supido no Densetsu", he'll be making a cameo appearance in Adrenaline.

Final piece of news, I found a singer for the series' original soundtrack! I love making music and can't wait to put some tracks together. But more details later.


10-05-2010 // OPENING SEQUENCE

FINALLY! The opening sequence is done. =D

The theme song is "Nothing left to do (Adrenaline Remix)". The original song was done by The Kyoto Connection, and they were gracious enough to let me use it and remix it. I will release the full MP3 of it on my website soon.

Up next, voice acting and the first episode!


09-23-2010 // UPDATED CARS SECTION, INTRO PROGRESS

I made some updates to the Cars section which includes the addition of a few profiles and stats for all the cars. Check it out!

Anyways, if you couldn't tell, the Fall semester started for me a few weeks ago which means my time has been extremely limited! I only have 1.5 semesters to go before I have my art degree.

The introduction sequence is getting *very close* to completion. For the meanwhile, here are some work in progress stills:


08-16-2010 // CHARACTERS SECTION

Check out the new characters section! It features awesome pop-up profiles.

Other than characters, I've been hard at work modeling the cars and environments. I'm trying to get as much done before September when the semester starts up again.

The next major update will be a video of the opening sequence with the theme song!


07-27-2010 // WEBSITE UPDATES

I've decided to incorporate some of the new assets into the website. Some updates include:

- cars section w\ pop-up profiles
- new and improved website banner
- "Fearless" racer promo (embedded below)

As for the status of the project, I'm currently modeling all the assets (characters, cars, environments) that will be in the first episode. These are a LOT of assets since most of the models of the seven episode series are featured in the first episode alone. After I finish this stage, I'll be able to focus more on animation and editing.

Lastly, character page coming soon!


07-22-2010 // "DC SPEED" RACER PROMO

New racer promo above.


07-17-2010 // "TOKYO HEAVEN" RACER PROMO, THEME SONG

We've uploaded a new racer promo (above). More racer promos to come!

Also, we've licensed a song by The Kyoto Connection for the opening theme song for each episode! I will be doing a remix version of it to match the racing theme of the series. Opening will be released on YouTube soon.


07-11-2010 // PRODUCTION RESUMES

After a long hiatus, production resumes for "Adrenaline - Street Racing"!

So what happened to me anyways? Well, I decided to attend an art university and that pretty much took over my life the last few years. lol. But now I'm back with (hopefully) improved abilities.

The plan is to release the film as a series of webisodes. Rather than having to wait for me to make an entire 1.5hr movie, I will release parts of it at a time. The feature-length film will be divided as so:

"Adrenaline - Street Racing" Episodes
Episode #1 : Fearless (12min) in production
Episode #2 : Anything In This World (12min)
Episode #3 : While the City Sleeps (12min)
Episode #4 : What Does a Racer Desire (12min)
Episode #5 : One's Worth (12min)
Episode #6 : Hide or Decide (12min)
Episode #7 : Win or Lose (20min)

Each webisode will feature a different street race with the seven webisodes together being part of a continuing storyline.

I'm a bit disappointed that I had to put this project on hold for so long. However, it's nothing compared to the development hell some Hollywood movies go through. A few examples are:

Watchmen, 1986-2007
Indiana Jones (Crystal Skull), 1993-2007
Superman Returns, 1990-2005
V For Vendetta, 1988-2005
Inglorious Bastards, 1997-2008
Speed Racer, 1992-2007
Gangs of New York, 1978-2002
Terminator 3, 1990-2002

The years listed is the time spent just planning and investing in the movie before actual production even started!

But now I'm back and am looking forward to releasing the first episode!


07-04-2010 // "WHAT IS ADRENALINE?"


(tip: set video resolution to "480p")

Finally, my short promo is up! More details about the project to come.


06-25-2010 // REGISTRATION FIXED

That was annoying but registration is fixed! I don't know why it suddenly stopped working, but installing the latest version of the script fixed it.

Anyways, if you'd like to be notified of the movie's release as well as receive occasional updates, register your email at the right. If you successfully registered a long time ago, your email should still be on our list (but you can try registering again if you're unsure).

More news coming soon!


06-24-2010 // ANNOUNCEMENT AND VID COMING SOON

It's been awhile but finally, I will have a video for everyone! The video is already made and will be posted shortly. It's one minute long and has animation, sound effects, music, and awesomeness (I hope).

I also made some minor adjustments to the website layout. Also, look for an announcement about "Adrenaline - Street Racing" very soon. Unfortunately, it's not that the movie is done; I haven't been able to work on it for years as I've been in school.

Last note, the registration is still broken, and so I have removed the buttons. Weird that the script suddenly stopped working, but it will be fixed soon.


Say goodbye to the slightly older layout.


01-30-2010 // FEBRUARY?

I don't mean to be a tease, but I figured giving out just this screenshot would be better than giving no update at all:

I'm thinking... sometime in February I'll finally release a video.
