It is a lot I know. But compared to the price of a really new iMac or Mac Pro for example, I really did save a lot of money by say, 60%? O_o
And my original budget is RM5k below, so even the total of the above list still didn't reach my current maximum budget so I can make other options. (will it be cheaper or take it to the max is still angel-devil whisper sort of thinking :S)
I have to build this kind of spec cuz from what I've read and watched (DIY rig vid vice versa) and combined with my intention to Hackintosh it; I think it is worth the price.
Why so high the spec you say?
Well after making this video and I am kind of sort of 'found' my Macbook limitations~ It just can't handle most of my work load: Editing my RAW photos and editing full HD footage with resource hungry Photoshop + Premiere Pro + After Effect seems to have made the "old man" falling to its knees... T_T
My 2nd attempt. The result is not so 'ok' as you can see; too much noise, a bit stripy cuz maybe the heat from the body seems to affect the video OR maybe cuz I dont lower the shutter speed. Dont know which one. Maybe both. Dont know how to correct it with the software though... @_@
The original idea of this short is to become a rotoscope reference for an upcoming animation and this is also the first part of my own independent Serenity project.
Not that impressive (in terms of technicality aspect) but it can be better.
Wish me luck guys! ^_^
