Yea your right, but I don’t have time to fix it. It’s not really the render time but going back to all those shots and adjusting it, resaving, submitting it to the farm, and editing it back into the video.
I am hoping by the end of tonight to have finished everything except for the final crash. Which gives me the weekend to work on that one shot.
Looks Great, nice renders, i like a lot the Highway concept, the bikes are ok to.
Good Luck. 
Well, this has been such a crunch to finish this.
Everything except the crash has been animated and rendered! So that gives me tomorrow to work on the crash.
I’m off to bed! I promised my girl that I wouldn’t stay up late tonight working on this. :rolleyes:
Here’s some more teaser images. Just 3 more days until I published the finished video.
P.S. Is there anyone who is interested in designing a DVD cover and interactive menu for this thing?
EDIT: Stupid me posted the same image twice! 
Thanks. Just so everyone knows my entry is based upon a scene from a movie, but I’m going to wait before I say which film because I’d like to know who can guess the name.
Wow! Why is it always at the end you have the most problem. Anyway, I’ve had to render the last 3 shots several times because things keep screwing up. Crashing, target files missing alpha channel, backgrounds being erased, and many others.
Anyway, it’s all finished now. I’m just doing post work such as color correction and some shots required layers.
Will be posting the finished entry most likely tomorrow.
Wow! Great guess!
I was orginally going to do that bike chance from the Matrix. You can see some early images with the girl riding between two trucks.
Sorry, I changed my mind last week when I realized I wasn’t going to have time to do all the cars.
Guess again
I’ll give you a hint. This film features a very cool motorcycle.
It did (the Milla Jovovich one, not the british television one). She switches on some antigrav thing and rides it on the side of a building… anyway. It was very silly.

@RobertoOrtiz - Can I post an image tomorrow? I’ve got to go out tonight.
@vrom - It’s not my voice. Sound track is from Akira.

Sweet entry, dude. I’m really impressed with what you were able to pull off in such a short amount of time. Real dynamic sense of movement, great shots, editing, and framing. Good job!
