So if you had to ballpark how many hours it took for the animation part, what would you say it took? I just really get the feeling it takes A LOT of work!

Its hard to narrow it down to "just animation", because in the case of a music video, you need a song to map out the scenes. You already know how long it takes to write and assemble and mix a song in BIAB.

If you just used stock characters and props and scenery in MUVIZU, and you were experienced with the software, you could probably crank out a 3 minute music video in 60-90 minutes (best case scenario with no delays while you thought about what to do next, and assuming your PC has the horsepower to handle it. Animation is hardware intensive.)

But if you create your own 3D modelled props, characters and scenes, that adds time exponentially. If you count up all the time I spend "thinkinabouddit" and accumulating assets (sound effects, 3D models that are available online for free etc) time spent creating my own 3D assets, making the song, and putting it all together... this project probably took me about a month. But then, I'm retired, and projects tend to expand until they fill the available time... (which is abundant, as a retiree) I'm way slower than average, and nobody should base their time expectations on my snail-like performance

If anyone has checked this out yet, I encourage you too. It's pretty amazing when you think of all that Pat did on this!

Several people on the forum are already using Muvizu... at least 3 that I'm aware of: (Musiclover, Rob & Anne-Marie and PeterF ... there may be more) I bet you'd have fun with it! It's a good fit with your other hobbies and vocations!

update: I just remembered that ROG and Trygve "Leo" Larsen downloaded Muvizu too! I'm looking forward to seeing all the animations that are about to hit the stage!
