OK, so there were no posts in 2010

I pretty much abandoned this blog and website in 2010. I finally gazed upon the sadness that was my website, and decided to rev it up again. Maybe I'll even be able to get a few people to pay attention.

The difference is that this year, the focus will be on a graphic novel I'm working on, and any other film-related stuff I happen to be involved with, but really, not so much about machinima. It was a really fun period of my life, doing the machinima thing, but as my boyfriend rightfully pointed out - it ain't no moneymaker, and I really have to concentrate on products that I own 100% of. I might throw together a quick one now and then, but it's going to be a back burner thing for sure at this point.

Now having said all that, here's a machinima me and Ben and the gang made last November for the 48 hour film challenge. We won the machinima division, so our film is going to the finals in March of this year. Here it is!

The Dumb Bob Xmas Special

Save the Murlocs!

A film I made for J!NX, based on their script. :) Here's the 'official site'.

Our 48 Hour Film Project

Yup, we entered again this year and nope, we didn't make the deadline...
AGAIN...because we were too optimistic about the script length and we underestimated how much time the film would take to render. Hopefully we have learned our frigging lesson!

Dumb Bob Halloween Show!

You'd think the boys would get tired of making these. But noooo, they are very dedicated to their series, LOL! Once again they wrote and directed everything. I just 'enhanced' their vision. Cole did all the music himself in this episode. Ryan did the little animation at the end.

Dumb Bob 2

Dumb Bob!

I helped my boyfriend's kids (9 and 10) with a film they wrote and directed themselves. They wrote all the dialogue and the lyrics for the music (we helped play a few of the instruments but Cole played guitar), directed their little sister and father as they recorded the voices of the characters, created the prop smashed car out of clay and paint, and shot the whole thing on my HD camera. I was the editor (only cause Premiere and After Effects are rather complicated) but they told me what shots to cut and what sound effects to use, etc. It turned out to be very funny! They were really proud of it! Perhaps there will be an episode 2? :D
