Organization of the first annual DragonCon Film Festival Machinima
segment (an hour segment of speakers and another hour+ of machinima short
videos) is going well. Speakers have been selected and the video submission
deadline is this weekend.
This was my contest entry to the Ataris WoW Music Video Contest. It
didn't win but I enjoyed the experience and learned more. This was my
first video done in Sony Vegas (though I didn't do much more than learn
how to do what I used to do in Windows Movie Maker due to time
restrictions). This was the shortest project I've run so far (maybe
20-30 hours). New job and planning for DragonCon are keeping me busy still.
I hope I can get back to doing some improved work soon.

After a VERY long hiatus, life is settling down and I'm back to
work on Machinima videos. I'm also setting up a Machinima panel
(an hour segment of speakers and another hour of machinima short
videos) at this year's DragonCon Film Festival.
So - another project is up. This was something that didn't take a
whole lot of time (maybe 50-60 hours) and I was hoping for a
simple fun project to stay in the hobby while life was getting
crazy. I shot it early in 2006 but I had to drop the project just
10 hours shy of completion. I finally got back to finish it
over the last week. It's called Revenge is Best Served Dead and
is
posted on YouTube. Once I get
it up to my hosting site, I'll also submit it to
www.machinima.com and
www.warcraftmovies.com .
It's here (if you actually go to
see it on YouTube, you can see a full screen version which I
recommend):

Wow! Busy months!
The latest business is that I'm currently working the Independent
Film Track at
DragonCon where I've been allowed to show
my first video
game-based music video WoW: Time of Our Lives. As I
mentioned much farther down, it was shot and directed by my
alter-ego (in game persona),
Romily, and stars my guildmates (who also happen to be local
friends) and a few other nice folks who helped pull a few
difficult shots together. It can be downloaded from
www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=603 (though the
easiest/non-register site got hit by a spammer so I had to pull it
for while - hope to have that mirror back up soon!
e-mail me for a private URL, no-registration required if you'd
like to get easier access in the meantime.)
If you really
like it, please take a moment to register on
www.warcraftmovies.com and give it a good rating (registration
is free).
Meeting all the directors, producers and other panelists is
incredibly informative and exciting!! Well, must dash - so many
panels I want to attend/work!
