Yes. We are finishing filming today and then will start post production and editing which should take about a month at the most.

Awesome! I can't wait until we get to see it!

Maigawsh.
Shall it be in our hands by March, then?

[Illustrious Var]

Possibly, no promises yet, personally it looks like an April release is more likely.

At 10:51 MST, we at The Three Virtues and Pandemic Panda have officially finished filming BioCraft: Chronicles. Now what lies ahead is post production editing, filming, and CGI. But this is a huge milestone, as it means we are almost complete. Thank you all who have continued to follow the project and support us in our endeavor.

[Illustrious Var]

Honestly it feels great to have this done and I simply cant express my excitement for the release.

[Mesonak]

I know, right.

Today's been a great day. I'm pumped for its release more than ever. Can't wait to get it out to you guys; we'll continue to update you on progress (expect another video update from Eljay tonight or tommorow), but there really won't be too much we can update you on; the rest of the work is technical and whatnot.

This is just great. After all this time, alongside numerous delays and dramas, we finally did it. Me, Eljay and Var just finished up filming the final scene of the movie, and now all that stuff is behind us. Now we can unceremoniously pass all the responsibility to Var and blame him if this thing doesn't get released.

That's over with. Now, back to Mass Effect 3...

[Illustrious Var]

lets also not forget the huge team of people that also helped us film this, we had about 40 people in total that's helped us throughout our year of filming.

Boy its gonna be fun carrying the film to completion now -.-

This is terrific! Kudos to the entire hard-working team!

[Roger Jacobsen]

Good job! Hard work always pays off.
Thank you 40 people.

[The X]

Done filming?
Yes! Now hopefully it'll be out real soon!
Hopefully before summer.

[TakaNuva-Toa-Of-Light]

Can't wait to see the movie released!

Wasn't online for final day of filming, but indeed it has been a long journey and I am glad to see we are finally finishing this up. It's a great experience and with all the work that has been put into this, I certainly do hope that you the community likes it!

[SuperStickman117]

"In stereotypical Russian voice" HURRRRRAAAAAHHHHHH! Master Chief approves. Can't wait till release! I'd love to work with you guys on Ignition if you decide to do it. Not as a voice actor or anything, but I can build pretty dang well.

[Tenebrae Invictus]

It's very shocking that we've come this far after a year of working on this at incredibly varied speeds. I've been there helping or just spectating quite a lot of times, and I really look forward to what seemed to be just regular Minecraft into a great movie.

By the way, non-BioCraft people, I do have a lot of screenshots from our filming endeavors and they will be possibly released either via update video or a giant majhost/brickshelf folder. It's fun to have those behind-the-scenes screenshots that de-mystify awesome movies, make it feel more... real.

How did I miss this? I would have volunteered to help but it seems your already done. I'd love to help in the future though.

Are you going to release a map download? I would really enjoy that. And is the server up yet?

Sorry for all the questions.

Not a problem; happy to answer them.

You most definitely could help in any future projects that we do; I'll remember your request, and if there is another BioCraft movie (or anything else BioCraft related), your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the plan is this; when the movie is released, about... two weeks afterwards, I'd say, we'll be setting up a dedicated server in which you can tour the island of Mata Nui, look at all of the different locations, ask questions, etc. You'll be given a BioCraft texture pack, of sorts, in order to view the island as depicted in the movie, as well as the character skins we used in making the movie. The only thing is that building and destroying will not be allowed. We're looking into other things we can do on the server in order to keep it interesting for all of you, such as obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, etc. It's all merely a bunch of ideas at this stage, however.

Afterwards, yes, we will release the island of Mata Nui for download, officially wrapping up development on Chronicles.

[Cosmic Titan]

Awesome, I'll be sure to be there then.

I can barely wait to explore Mata Nui in Minecraft. From what I've seen it all looks amazing.

[Shyyrn]

April release? Just in time for my birthday! It's so sweet of you guys to think of me like this! :3 (loljk XD).

[The Venom]

I'm very glad to hear that filming is finished.
Congrats to the entire team for making it this far!

I can't stress enough how impressed I am by the efforts of everybody who made this possible.
I really am proud of this achievement.

Looking forward to future updates regarding the museum server,
and of course maybe some more sneak peeks of the movie.

[shadowAaron34]

[Roger Jacobsen]

2 Months left! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!

Wanted to ask a question: Where are you getting your music from?

[SuperStickman117]

Hope 1.2.3 hasn't hindered you guys! That's the last thing we need, more delay.

[Roger Jacobsen]

They've finished filming, so MC updates shouldn't be a problem.

DERP on me. Now I feel stupid.

Hi fans and other readers,

Eljay, and mainly me, are putting together a side project in the calm before the storm known as BioCraft. Not going into details into it, but if you would like to be interviewed briefly via Skype, let me know. It's a simple question, and the oh-so-loved Toa of Mangosteen will be present for it.

[The Lonesome Wanderer]

this movie will be EPIC!

info on the side project?

[Bulik]

I have skype, but what exacly would I be getting into?
do I have to do stuff, or just answer a question?

[Tenebrae Invictus]

We'd be talking in voice chat, I'd ask you the question, and you'd respond. That's all.

[Bulik]

uh, okay I guess..... I was kinda implying that I was wondering what kind of question it was, but whatever.

I guess I'll do it, but should I pm you or something?

[Toa-Jax]

i would gladly help invi my skype is tj-mecone

[Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen]

To avoid any mishaps, it would more than likely be better to PM Invi =)

Little update: Movie still coming along nicely. I'll see about releasing some pictures of character skins, certain locations, etc etc at some point soon. Thanks everyone!

[Roger Jacobsen]

Sounds sweet! I did find Toa Mata skins on Skindex, are those the ones you're using?

[Bulik]

I think that they mentioned they used them before.. but for the other characters, they probably made their own skins, which isn't that hard.

[Roger Jacobsen]

Strange, I use the Kopaka skin sometimes, and it looks different.

Maybe they made some minor edits.

[Ultra Hamster]

Ah man, I've been gone from BZP for a while and i see you guys are almost finished! Wish I could have helped out with this, but ah well. I would loved to have helped out as a voice actor, but sadly I am currently without a microphone. Maybe next project. But really this looks awesome!

[ocarinas on wheels]

i just noticed, but you're website is down. did you forget to pay the server fees or something?

[Illustrious Var]

It's being moved to a new host.

just a quick question, why use skype instead of PM's or E-Mail?

[Illustrious Var]

Because it's a vocal interview, meaning you would need a microphone.
I wish to stress that it has no direct correlation to BioCraft itself, just something Invictus wants to try out.
