Latest Release – A.T Design Skyboxes Showcase

just wrapped up a film for a company on SL called A.T Design. They specialise in skyboxes. I’m quite pleased with the way this one has turned out. I’ve managed to wrap this up in under 24 hours. This had partly been because of the co-operation from the client too. Usually it’s an endless struggle, back and forth. But thankfully this was relatively straightforward to do. Check out the video here -

 

New Advert Now Out!

It’s not quite an advert exactly, just a little teaser trailer. Now in shiny HD :P

Apologies for the radio silence all. I’ve been off the grid tending to my RL (I’m in the process of setting up a couple of online businesses and as you can imagine, it eats up your time quite a bit).

I’ve made a few subtle changes to the blog. You can now be able to access the ‘films’ section of the site where you can have a look at a couple of the films that we have worked on in the past. I haven’t put -everything- up there because.. well as much as I’ve loved working on the very old projects, they were old projects. I’ve improved quite a bit now (I’d like to think so anyway :) ) and am now using a Mac to edit my work.

After four months, I think I can say I’m confident in using the new software and hardware and am ready to take on commissioned projects. I’ve also been working out a pricing structure that works for me. From what I’ve seen, a lot of machinima artists charge by the hour, but I find that a little restricting. So I’m building little packages, depending on the industry that you’re in. You can see the ones that I’ve made in the ‘machinima services’ section above (they are still being tweaked, so bear with me while I do that).

Thank you once again for popping by. Please feel free to drop me an IM if you’d like to chat.

Case File 1_001 – The Prim Phantoms

The Prim Phantoms - said to dwell in the prim mirror world, they feed upon lost prims. Thier ways are devious, they will make little subtle changes to that expensive house of yours, or realign that hair you love. Small things you will not notice, until it’s too late…

That party you were supposed to go to? Your friend is TPing you and it’s time to go. You’re bald, with no hair and your inventory is borked…

ouch

I had gone swimming for the first time in ‘years’ today.. and everything hurts.

I went swimming with a few friends this morning. We went to this place in shabby East London that we had never been to before. After playing a round of snooker nearby at a place, we went over at around 7ish. It wasn’t such a bad place, however the pool had been arranged in lanes… and I hated lane swimming.

Without much thought into it we dived in, the headstrong boys we were. Not bothering to really warm up wasn’t such a good idea.

And now, I’ve pulled a dozen muscles on my arms.. and can’t move. I found this pain spray thing at home.. and sprayed it everywhere, only to find that it expired five years ago!

So now I have great big rashes burning into my skin.. and arms that hurt. And yet here I am blogging away at 2am.

Life’s lemons eh?

beh

I’m literally melting here. It’s warm, sticky.. humid… and I can just about handle the friggin weather. Nothing that what I’m going to have to face on my holiday though so I guess It’s better If I just bit the bullet :)

I’ve been work-shy of late. Can you be a workaholic and spend all your time doing things that have NOTHING to do with work? Well I do.

I spend all of my time faffing around doing the not-so-important things. My best guess as to why that would happen is that I can get distracted very easily. It’s also part of the reason why I can’t sit in a park under a tree and write. There is just too much going on. There are too many things to see. A bit of an information overload really.

I watched a two part programme called ‘Burn Up’ last night as I wasn’t getting much sleep. Based around the high flying and extremely corrupt units who run the oil industry, the drama highlights the crucial role of climate change and how it affects the world’s economy.

I don’t want to turn this into a review of sorts so I’ll stop. If you are in the UK, you’ll be able to watch it on the BBC Iplayer website until Wednesday 10:29pm here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search/?uri=%2Fiplayer%2F&go=toolbar&q=burn+up

So.. is the world really in a mess? Can it right itself should things get worse?

“Second Life? Wo’s that then?”

Yeah. Self explanatory! Someone noticed that I had ‘Second Life’ tagged on a social networking site that I’m part of and posed the question to me about it. It’s a conversation I’m sure many of you have had with people you know in RL in the past.
