Major BlizzCon movie contest coming up, so naturally, what was my instinct? Work on something else! (Again!)

This was for the August contest over at WeGame.com: Joust Venture (or here on YouTube, with annotations, though I haven't added anything interesting just yet). Yes, when I realized the contest was open to any game ever I had the epiphany: marry my old flame with a new hobby and bam! 8-bit machinima goodness!

In the meantime, work on Redshift 2 progresses nice and steadily. The final comps for each scene are about halfway done (meaning the video track is almost completely finished! whew!). After that, it'll be time for all sorts of fun audio work. Plenty of time until the 25th due date, mright? Of course I'll have to post some sneak peaks of some sort here before then. Also, keep in mind that the version of Redshift 2 being submitted for BlizzCon is a slightly shorter, less nuanced version than that which I plan to complete later.

I saw the new annotation feature on YouTube and simply couldn't resist. I've updated our music video "Frame of Mind" with a good speckling of production trivia and inane comments. And who wouldn't want to read those!

Check it out!

One of the biggest obstacles in keeping my projects on schedule is resisting the temptation to play more Lich King beta than necessary. I did, however, stumble upon a really neat way to preview the new environments for people who didn't get into the beta ... through Photosynth. I took over 400 screenshots of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight...

Check out the results!

Photosynth is free, but requires a quick install to be able to view the 3D synths. PC only, but they're promising a Mac version soon.

All the other machinimators have been kicked out! Bow to your new overlords!

... well, not really. User accounts remain intact and we've archived the site's old content, but from now on, Filmcraft.org is exclusively the official home for the <slashdance> machinima team. The old site wasn't getting any use whatsoever, and there are many other machinima communities we can recommend to new and veteran machinimators alike. In the meantime, expect some exciting new announcements to surface soon right here; there are a number of projects <slashdance> has in the pipes.
