Busy, busy, busy!

It's been over a month since I've posted anything here, which is really not great for me. It kinda undercuts the purpose of actually using this thing. So here are the big updates:

1.) Gamer Chick is rockin' & rollin'. Principal photography is more than halfway done - not bad considering we have to sneak our shoots in when everyone is available and we can get enough volunteers. Episode 7 is entirely shot, and many other episodes are a scene or two away from being ready for post. It's a very exciting time for us Gamer Chick folk, especially because we'll be premiering at Gen Con in Indianapolis this year, so if you'll be down there, look us up! I may or may not be attending, but the ladies certainly will be there.

2.) I had to drop a class this semester due to some pretty serious time issues, but it's for the best. I can finally feel like I'm a part of my other classes, and I feel like I'm finally doing my own stuff this term, so my reel is already thanking me. :) Incidentally, here's a rough version of my final project for VFX2...



Clearly, it is an unfinished bit of work. The final shot will include some weather effects, particle simulations, a bit of lightning, and some heat distortion around the actress. I'll post progress as I make significant strides toward completion.

3.) I've also started writing the pilot for Romeo's Foe Studios' new web series, "Flint Steele." It's loosely based on a character we created for a live faux-radio show we performed for a couple years. It also will include some characters and pieces we had originally created for other ideas and projects, but it seems like they all fit in this particular puzzle. I'm excited to see where it goes. The pilot will likely be three episodes worth of story, most likely released as three episodes rather than one fifteen-minute video. I'll post more about this project as it evolves.

That's it for now - and really, isn't it enough? - so I'm going to get some of this footage logged from our Gamer Chick shoot today. It'll be so nice when we can work with a crew that includes more than five people, especially if I'm not the only one who knows anything about post production... Wish me luck! :)
