this was somewhat of a test, hence its abrupt nature. I wasnt even sure if the footage would be timelapseable, but now I know and will present things better in the future. you didnt miss anything at the end, its just that theres no climax to CLOSING SFM. ZIPPING UP FILES
I need some better music. this scene was a request by a friendo , ikl be developing it further later probably. the sky isnt finished in the end of this video, but the goal was just to make a nice hilly landscape which can be filmed from a variety of angles and locations.")

TL:DR I had a hard drive failure and lost everything, so I am unable to finish this film. As is my custom, I am simply releasing the most finalized render I had for it. :( . details below.
The plot I had intended for this video was as follows. The idea was to have these three individual groups chasing the escape vehicle which is seen flying throughout many of the shots. They would be running around this harsh apocalyptic wasteland. As the varied groups chased the escape Vehicle, they would each take a different path and eventually end up within sight of the escape vehicles landing location. However, When the escape vehicle was preparing to land , it was going to be shot down by a fourth party. The three main parties, shown in the video, would each be dissappointed, seeing their ticket home go up in flames. I would pull out to reveal that by chasing this vehicle, all of the parties involved had unintentionally come together, and they would find that though the thing they wanted (escape) was now lost, They could still have something meaningful (a group, family, safety) by sticking together in order to survive. I had already re-worked much of the video to accommodate this end, but that footage was lost with my hard drive. Additionally I had some very specific plans with the audio mix to help communicate these ideas. Cest la vie.
you guys must be getting pretty angry at me for posting dead and unfinished projects so often, But this time I have a good excuse. On saturday I had a major hard drive failure and I lost my SFM drive along with my 4 current projects. Im still hopeful about being able to salvage two of the Projects, but this one is unfortunately dead. Again, this is a snapshot of a film half-finished, so Im sorry nothing makes sense or goes anywhere. I had some good stuff planned for this and hope to return to the style.
What happened? My main SFM drive had a mechanical failure which caused me to lose all the data on it. This has happened to me before but not in many years. I am not making efforts to recover the data. I know that is a troublesome road and will only make me more sad about losing data, I am instead choosing to see this as a starting over point. Many people in the SFM community like to back up their DMXs automatically to dropbox, I will be adopting this workflow and would reccommend others consider the same. More soon.")
