Hello,
Here I have an update.
Next week I gonna go on holidays which means that I will be brb.
I'll be back on the 17th of July.
To give a clear picture on how things are going for the montage, here I have clarified the 'phases' of the progress:
1. Collecting demos
2. Preparationedits such as making the intro, cinematics, effects, etc. (things which don't require jumpperformances.)
3. Completing the 'All MontageJumps Spreadsheet' (By using this spreadsheet the montage will contain 98-100% new jumps only)
4. Deadline of collecting demos (currently unknown*)
5. Selecting the demos. (participants will get informed which of their demos will get into the montage via a private message)
6. Recording the demos.
7. Editing the things in phase 1 and 2 into one video (editing the basic things such as transitions, some color correction etc.)
8. Uploading the video and enjoy popcorn.
At this moment we're still in phase 1, when I come back I will completely start to focus on phase 2 and 3 and
*when I've made a good start with that I will be able to tell the deadline more precisely.
As I am writing this now I roughly estimate the deadline to be in mid-August, but again; could be earlier or later.
The reason I haven't started earlier with the other phases is because I had to finish school and I didn't want to rush
the montage to have it finished before I would go on holidays, neither did I want to have a 1 week break while working on it.
So to get to the point there is still some time left to send in demos.
If you have trouble with motivation to tryhard the jumps you want perform I would suggest to just plan a period of time (half or a whole hour f.e.) to just go for it.
It probably isn't the best suggestion but for every good montagejump you gotta offer some time. (and oh yeah.. take breaks when you lost focus after f.e. every 10 minutes or so ;P)
Watching a montage or 2 could be motivating too.
Anyway, if you have any other questions you can ask them here in this topic or via steam before I gonna go on holidays, which is until July the 9th far in the after noon.
