Preview on Deviantart.

Graded on the Curve is the culmination of:

 Time:

• About 10 hours of preplanning and storyboarding
• About 4 hours of writing
• About 25 hours of rendering
• About 7 hours of custom photoshop work and titles
• About 15 hours of sound design and final in-line edits.
• or....
• About 60ish total hours of work. This wouldn't be too bad if this was my full time job, but currently, as a hobbyist, consider that I spent the equivalence of 1.5 full-time weeks working on this for you. I really hope you love it (because I know I do; it was a blast to make!)

Content:

• 82 formal video “shots” in the script
• 94 actual video files in the short
• Preview that is over 4 minutes long, roughly a third of the total content!
• 12:11 total runtime (2 minutes longer than my original estimates!)
• 201 individual audio objects
• 10-level deep audio layering and mixing
• Voice/SFX by Pixie Willow
• 2 professionally licensed audio tracks
• 54 professionally licensed sound effects

Other Facts:

• This is my first Animated Comic! While I’m proud of it, I’m still not beyond feedback and would love to deliver an even better product for my next one. Let me know what you think (please!)
• This animation used advanced physics tools that I’ve never used before to achieve some of the cartoony effects and to bring the sex scenes home. Enjoy!
• This animation also includes my first pass at including a formal sex scene (spoiler alert!!) Like the above, feedback and thoughts are appreciated. Even just praise is helpful.
• Premiere Pro crashed on me no less than 15 times editing this behemoth, almost constantly pushing my 32gb of ram to the limit. Not sure what I want you to do with this info but… hey it was a part of the journey.

I hope you enjoyed the preview! Thank you again for the support you give me and take care. <3
