Bunch of new things on the Depleted horizon so far:
– MicroFilmmaker Magazine arranged a press review deal with Sorenson Media (the company that creates the most powerful video codecs in the world, including Spark and On6) for Depleted, which will allow them to use the most state-of-the-art compression for Depleted’s Canonical films. Additionally, the Sorenson 360 video streaming option will give Depleted fan’s the ability to see higher quality videos than they would normally be able to get, as well as permitting numerous password encrypted videos for more secret ARG elements. Director Jeremy Hanke is very excited about this new arrangement and feels it’ll be a great benefit to Depleted fans and to Sorenson!
-In conjunction with this, the new Contributor site for Depleted will be rolled out shortly, which will be the location for all Canonized and Apocryphal content: From videos to stories to photos!
-With the completion of the beta test of the contract submission process, the finalized contracts have been completed and are now in the process of being encoded for digital submission by fans! This area will also be in the Contributor section of the WoD site!
-In addition to the much anticipated Forsaken film submission, story submissions are getting rolling. Currently, die hard Depleted fans Julie Stratton and Fred Koskin are already on the list for submissions. Additional contributors are also going through the contracts, as well!
– Score composition on Depleted: Day 419 appears to be going very well. I had a chance to listen to the first scene and was really impressed with the use of both music, narration, and sound design to sculpt a 3D backstory outside the confines of the scene. (The folks at Oakwood Sound Design are doing a great job on the sound of the film!)
More as we know it!
