This week, I am embarking on a brand new, technologically geeked out adventure:

the construction of a render farm.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been doing some prep work, figuring out which parts to order and how all the open source software will ultimately interface with our programs in question, namely Lightwave and After Effects.

For some of you this probably seems strange for a guy like me who works in production. But to those of you who really know me, this really isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

I’ve been known for ‘geeking out’, yes. I can’t help it. And all avenues of filmmaking interest me, whether it’s production or post. In this instance, it happens to be with something a bit off the beaten path. Keep posted for updates. I’m hoping that by the time I’m done blogging about this, I will have made a pretty intensive guide for setting up the aforementioned warez.
