The Wombats in SL - CHECK YO SELF CRACKA!

So we were contacted through email to film a Wombats gig going on, that they wanted a rough cut video of what it would be like if they did a music video in game. Well ended up finding it was the producer of The Wombats. Who we worked with once before, and the wombats got back to them saying they wanted the glasses added to there avatar. Just because its there "thing", So of course I re-edited it and spent way more time on it, filming it like a real music video than just a simple "rough cut" so i'm sure they will enjoy that. However we cant show it anywhere to the public because they do own right to the song and will be using it for there own purposes which we have all ready discussed with them. Good to hear they're all ready looking to film another in Second Life regarding there "Coming to America" album. So sorry i cant show it yet, Ill see when I can. heres there Myspace though if you are not familiar with them, its a band from Liverpool.

Were also currently working on a Mika video - VERY excited to finish it. It does however have NOTHING to do with Mika, it will be just a fun video we are doing, and will not own rights to the song... I mean it doesn't hurt asking though when we finish it right? heh we'll see. I'm working with another Machinima artist Michelle who's doing some Sims 2 footage Ill be adding. Cant wait to show you guys =)

Machinima confrance Yay!

So last night was my first Skype Machinima conference, they've been doing it for a while now but I just started hearing about it from Moo. Was pretty fun, hell me and Ben ranted for 8 1/2 hours lol. YaY for making new friends. So I see where a lot of them come from and its cool to put voices with the names and actually get to know the other homies.

Blogging mostly cause im waiting for the new patch, Yarrrr ironic? patch, ha ha... ha
Oh and waiting for my project to render in after effects which is taking an hour.. lol
YaY! for Saturday, another day chilling at the computer I guess doing stuff, guess were not going out this weekend. Might actually get around and decorate MY side of the office today lol, we have a buncha stuff from the gaming convention in London that was last month I can put up and some other goodies from the UK Machinima fest and our little E-Learning fair lecture we gave. So SEXY PARTY!

Happy Turkey Day!

Gobble Gobble

Hey hey, thats right im actually attempting to keep up on my blog that I usually slack on keeping up. First off im 1/2 way done with the music video which most of you reading all ready know about and were probably in it. Having a ball in after effects with it and may be filming on some more platforms. Ive been preoccupied by beta testing a game that comes out in 2 months... still the disclosure says I cannot say im in the beta test but as long as you don't know which game it is i'm fine... but I must say, I do love pirates Yarrrr, oh and... I don't get sea sick.... and I saw the first 2 movies but not the 3ed .... oh and the game ... isn't the movie game (cause that looks lame as all hell) but a different Yarrrr kinda game....
Hope I didn't give it away =) in any case I didn't say the title!!!
please don't sue me..

I just got done re filming some things for the Wombats gig. If you live in the UK you know who the band "The Wombats" are as they are form liver pool. Apparent they are big in America too because they are releasing there next CD called "coming to America" which they have all ready talked about us filming in Second Life. Mostly because the lead singer is a SL resident and active, than they made it big in the band, so now they are having the producers pay for a video to be done -- by us! =D

Talked with the family for a couple hours today which felt good. Talked to my brother more than ive talked with him in the hole year I think, but thats pretty normal. During the holidays I miss being there and all, but ive just been cough up with everything going on here, going out and everything. That I know i'll be back in IL again eventually , but I'd rather have them come here for the opportunity. Considering they don't have to pay for any of the other fee's tourist have, not to add the "on base" connection. If any time is to time to travel, its now especially. Which my dad said he'll be check up on it this weekend if they're open, if not Monday. And being the procrastinator I am, I know i got it from him =P

Sucks though not being in this situation before, away from the family for years on end in another country. Ancestors have done it forever now, but in our family tree there isn't anyone close who's been in the military in forever, or even close to compare it to. For the holiday though we do have 4 days off and we went for the squadron thanksgiving where we brought a carrot cake Jen made, and some pop. Hung out with bill, talked about gaming, marriage, specifically buying presents for the holidays and keeping the hole "surprise" a factor, and other comical moments. Food was good as hell though... lol bought a bunch home.

Well later days, glad I posted! hah trying to keep up.

Whoooo update time!!

Unedited Random catch up!

Alright sorry I'm the worst blogger ever as I've been told.
SO the machinima conference we gave went great! we than hung out with the director of it a few weeks later and went out all over London. Later me and Jen went to see Wicked, which was pretty awesome! at the Apollo. Saw the 10 bells pub, what else... lol LOADS went on that I should of been blogging and went into detail about. Oh yea! while me Jen and Harold were walking to a place to eat this car was turning going 10 miles per hour and its wheel came off! guy even parked it as the wheel hit some Benz. That was about 10 feet from us which was cool. We had dinner with Sox Tree and their kid which was cool and had a lot of fun. Played halo and they got a kick out of baloney how its like a smashed round hot dog.

And up to now I'm Beta testing a new game which i all ready pre-ordered (cant give the title). Love to do a machinima in it but they still have lots of work to do. Would be wicked if I could get on a development team focusing on the machinima aspect. Anyways probably all ready talking to much about it.

Would be fun, anyways had to update to say im still alive, I've been working with Leah who's doing artist work for the NSS site. and posted some open position to the NSS Second Life team. all in all that the majority =D unless i think of more randomly...
