It's awesome to hear from people that've followed the thread from way back.
Since people drop in and out activity on the site as they complete their projects I was a little bummed thinking people who watched it in its formative stages would never see it done. It's a blast to see that's not the case.

Word gets out even if you don't read BYOAC any more, man. I expect you'll have old names popping back up every once in a while for a long time when they see you've finally finished. Congrats!

stuzza:
Looks Awesome! congratulations. So is that really nearly 8 Years since this thread began..... :dizzy:

DrumAnBass:
Congrats on striving for, and achieving perfection! Such an amazing amount of detail went into this machine, it is mind boggling...! And thanks for documenting every step in such a detailed fashion.

I have no idea how you were able to stick with it for so long, without compromising your vision...!

Thanks for making the rest of us "normal" cab builders look like schmucks... :lol

As someone mentioned previously - cocktail version? Would be pretty schweet to have it in your edit bay for entertaining clients while you are rendering... You are still an inferno/smoke artist/editor right?

Cheers to a project that goes way beyond "well done!" :cheers:

Yep, hence the compositing in the video. ;)

As far as the cocktail goes... years ago I went to a demo at Discreet's Santa Monica office (back when it was Discreet... before Autodesk) and they actually had a MAME cabinet one of the engineers had made. I wish mine would fit in the bay! No time/patience for a cocktail build at this point, unfortunately :P BTW, Drum.... noticed ILM is hiring at their Canadian studio in Vancouver. Just sayin.

I'm glad that wasn't lost. It was the funnestestest part of tweaking the footage.

It's easily moveable with two people and a dolly. And I can push it around on the (wood) floor if I can brace myself against something.

I pretty bad at estimating weight, but I'd guess 500-600 lbs.

@Mark70 I'll have to check out that site. Always looking for a good podcast for the commute!
