CRAVE Annual Presentation2008
From CRAVEwiki
CRAVE Annual Presentation is a video presentation showcasing CRAVE's skills in audio and visual engineering. The video consists of graphic designs, 3D animations, 3D Designs and other simulations done over past two years.
The entire video was edited using Blender VSE (Video Sequence Editor).
This video was replacement to The Martian Movie Project to test animation and video editing skills at CRAVE.

SEQUENCES
The entire project can be divided into following sequences as per the visualizations:
DBIT INTRO
A simple DBIT Intro clip created using Blender VSE and Inkscape. Created and Designed by Kevin Pinto
CRAVE INTRO
A new CRAVE intro clip using Blender animations, Blender VSE effects. For audio effects audacity was used to modify some of the free sound FX from flashkit.com. CRAVE model and Wireframe modeled by Monty Fernandes & Kevin Pinto. Design visualization and sound editing for audio effects by Kevin Pinto.
GENERAL MESSAGE
Simple text information written using Inkscape.
CRAVE TUNNEL SEQUENCE
The CRAVE tunnel sequence was to give a load sequence feel to the video.
CRAVE ART GALLERY
A simple sequence of graphic designs, 3D animations & 3D Designs developed and produced in CRAVE LAB.
CRAVE LAB FACILITY
This sequence was designed to showcase the facility at CRAVE labs. This sequence was heavy 3D simulation of CRAVE LAB by Monty Fernandes. DRQUEUE Render farm was used to render this sequence. Each frame took roughly 6mins to 8mins to render.
RESEARCH AREAS OF CRAVE
The last sequence was to showcase the different working departments of CRAVE researching in the respected areas. It was a sequence of Photographs and some cool effects added using Blender VSE. The animations involved in this sequence was designed by Royston Alex.
OST
The OST was sponsored to CRAVE lab by Parvesh Uniyal. The sound track was re-edited using Audacity by Keith Pinto. CRAVE team thanks Parvesh & Keith for their time and efforts.

Derivations
It was observed that Blender VSE would not simply show video on the image preview nor on the rendered output in case I added heavy raw video file. I am assuming that it could be because in addition to already existing 4GB RAM, the workstation requires more 4GB RAM to handle such heavy HD video files. I came across this problem when I was trying to compile my final project by placing all the individual sequences in one single .blend file.
Suggested workaround is to render the sequence as avi jpeg instead of avi raw but at cost of quality OR render as .png image sequence.
