But in reality, how many of us out here have actually put more effort beyond staying up past your bedtime and downing a few too many energy drinks to keep going? We’ve all probably heard that ‘artists’, when passionate enough, are willing to suffer for their art, never compromising on anything to ensure they create exactly what they wanted.
So I guess I just want to get a bit of discussion regarding people’s battle scars in this violent world of AMVing
I remember that when I created Only Bob, my computer at the time was suffering from a bit of overheating problem. I was also under pressure to get it done because the AWA Masters deadline was fast approaching. As a consequence, I generally edited during the day and rendered the 3D images at night. Bearing in mind that this is during winter in the southern hemisphere, throughout the day I would edit with my big electric fan blowing into the open computer tower (heating is left off obviously). And at night, I tended to sleep in the spare bedroom of the house which was never warm enough to begin with even with the heating on. That was at least better anyway than being in my room where the computer was rendering and the electric fan kept blowing cold air for the rest of the night. So yeah, that last week of rendering was a few days of constant cold and sleeplessness.
