New music for Plagarus. In addition to the Amotz Plessner piece (which receives multiple uses throughout the film), another signature tune I purchased rights to recently was from another pretty big heavyweight in the music industry, Craig Stuart Garfinkle. He has composed work for video games, film and TV.
The piece I bought fits pretty well with a particularly dark part of Plagarus just before an intense action sequence breaks out. Hopefully the effect will work like I have in mind.
We'll have to see.
I have also finished upgrading my computer. It's now pretty much maxed out and can't be upgraded anymore. Because of this, I figure I've got two to four more years on this machine before complete replacement.
The upgrades:
16 gb of RAM.
New solid state drive for the OS.
New storage hard disk.
New graphics card. An nVidia GTX560TI 2 gb monster.
The graphics card is the big one. I can now GPU render using Cycles in Blender. This will slash render times into fractions, and I can produce more shots quicker that way. Interestingly, I can now also render two scenes at once. One scene can be rendering on the CPU and another on the GPU. This should make life much easier. =D
So, yes. Plagarus is on the roll. =) Part II is probably going to expand a bit, because right now it's quite paltry and needs help.
Have a great day, everyone!
