EPISODE 5 - Status update and Promo Image #1

Hello Legends and welcome to Chapter 2 of Temptation series!

This will be a bit longer post but stick around for some interesting details about the series and some new announcements!

With Episode 5 we will be entering into a whole new chapter of the series with a bang and I truly mean that, because based on the script that I wrote for it, I can honestly say that Episode 5 will be the longest episode so far with estimated runtime of 25-30 minutes! This means that we are looking at a hell of a lot more than 200 images, and a lot more juicy content/scenes within the episode as you can tell from the new cover image above. Reason why episode will be this long is because I want to tell a lot in it and splitting it into two would not fit what I imagined for it as it would break that immersion which I do not want to do. This means that it will take me some time to make this video but do not worry, I will have juicy updates and promo images for you all every week to keep you on your toes until its out.❤️

With that said, I have few more announcements for you all, but first I wanted to touch and deep dive into the production process itself, just to give you all an idea how long it takes to complete a single episode of Temptation Series, for those that are interested or curious about this.

Deep Dive into Production Process

First thing that I do before I begin the production process is perform a prep work for the next episode that I am about to do, and that consists of editing the script to make is as best as possible and complete, then I perform additional work on my characters and environments in which they will be in that episode. Then the production process begins.

Let's take a 20 minute Episode 4 as an example here which consists of around 200 images. Single 4K render or image takes around 1-2 hours to complete. This includes scene creation and preparations, lightning, editing characters and their clothes, posing of characters, and then the render process itself. Sometimes, 1 single image takes even longer to create because of how complex the scene is and if there are multiple characters interacting with each other physically and in my series, they usually are, and will do so even more moving forward. Once animation/rendering stage is complete I move on to voice recording. Considering how long my scripts are, it takes me around 2 days to complete my voiceover and get the results I am satisfied with at which point I move on to editing phase. This phase takes me at least a week to complete since I have to make a quality episode out of 200 renders and research some good music to go along with it and my voiceover. Also as you noticed, my series has subtitles so it also takes a bit of time to subtitle 20min episode as well. Last part of editing is where I adjust all images to look as best as possible as I provide those to you all as Image Downloads, and then I render 2 versions of completed episode, one with subtitles and one without. And that completes the production process of one single episode. Combined, it takes between 250 to 300 hours to complete a single episode since I work alone on this, so with that said you can hopefully see how hard I worked on this project these past few months, literally working non-stop and still taking care of my other 9-5 job along with this. But I love what I do and seeing how much you all like it, fills me with so much happiness, and I just really enjoy making it for all of you Legends, even though I should do a better work/private life balance to not get burned out.❤️

Episode 5 estimated release date and Chapter 1 Supercut

Since Episode 5 will be the longest one so far, with much more images than previous episodes, estimated release date is second half of August with Teaser video coming in the first half. This episode will contain a lot of scenes and awesome action as well as interesting story points that will push the story of the series much further. Its safe to say that scenes that I plan to make here, will get your juices going for sure. You heard what Claire said at the end of Episode 4, and she will for sure finish what she started.😉

Now the additional announcement I wanted to make is Chapter 1 Supercut!

Next week on July 22nd, along with a brand now promo for Episode 5, I will also release a supercut video of episodes from 1 to 4 which make Chapter 1 of the Temptation Series, so you can watch it as one huge almost 1 hour video and truly enjoy it as such.

Lastly, I just wanted to thank you all once again, for patience, support, and love for the series. You are all truly amazing and I can't explain to you enough how much your support means to me.❤️

See you all very soon in the next update! ❤️😘
