So, how was your day?
Friday, January 26th, 2007As you may have noticed, yesterday both SpatulaMadness.com and FilmCow.com were down.
Why? Well it took me a full 24 hours to get an answer to that. And here is the answer:
“It appears the sub domain (filmcow.com) used over 1TB bandwidth in under 20 days.”
Of course my current hosting plan allows for 4TB of bandwidth a month. It seems my website was just getting too many requests for them to handle. Needless to say, I’ve moved FilmCow.com over to another host.
Oh, and on top of all that while re-configuring my mail box for the new server I accidently deleted every single one of my e-mails. WOO HOO. So if you’ve e-mailed me and haven’t received a response yet, you probably won’t, so please re-email me, ha ha.
To quickly answer a few questions from the previous comments:
- There isn’t going to be any “rating” assigned to the movie, but I think a good rule is if you’re old enough to watch The Simpsons than you can watch Spatula Madness.
servomoore - I’m more of an “on the fly” person, if I made storyboards for too many scenes it interferes with my ability to change everything last minute.
- Every scene takes a different amount of time to complete. I really don’t know how long a scene is going to take until I finish it.
- Don’t want to give a date for the trailer, because then when I miss that date people will yell at me 
- The movie is both 30 fps and 15 fps. The characters move at 15 to give it a sort of jerky stop-motion cutout feel, but the actual video is 30 fps so when I need to I can put in very smooth camera movements, etc.
