PAX '08, Forums, and Film
So, as you can see having been nearly 6 months since my last blog, I have been busy. Which is partially true, and partially an excuse. I actually have been busy as you'll see below. But to be honest, I have had time to blog...just didn't feel like it when I had time. So here it is, your moment of Blog.
First off, been busy with the PAX '08 footage. I'm the producer this year, with Porkfry as Executive Producer. There was much planning beforehand, for several months in fact, and it paid off well. There were a few things we didn't get a chance to cover, and if you were involved with those pre-PAX events I apologize that we didn't get to you. There were a LOT of them, and we only had Pork, Myself, Hicks the amazing camera wiz, and his lovely assistant Opptimys Pryme. We were stretched a bit thin, so we managed the Pub Crawl, the Dinner, the arrival of the Supertrips, and setup footage. Some other events fell by the wayside due to rescheduling and such.
PAX was a BLAST. I'll leave you to search for tales about it yourself as they are all over the net, but I'll give you keywords for your YouTube searches: Fallout Puppets; Bad Horse Chorus; and Omegathon Recap Video. Those will bring up a ton of related videos as well to give you an idea of stuff that went on at PAX.
Since then we've been going through footage, most of it awesome. A LOT of footage. I can't say much more about it at this time, but trust me, it will be awesome. Trust me.
Forums: I am now a Forum Moderator as well as a game tester. I get paid for it. To play games and read forums. Ok, so I'm gloating, but only a little. That's a real forum, not my own (although they still exist).
As for Film, working on the PAX footage has re-awoken the primal urge I have let sleep for years...to make movies. I can pull a crew together pretty easily at this point, and they will rock. I just need to write the scripts. Script it, and they will come. Perhaps I can even get something awesome together for a future HP Lovecraft Film Festival...which, sadly, I missed this year as I forgot which weekend it was. (headsmack) So next year, first weekend of October, I will look into making my train trip to Portland a reality.
Many other strange and wonderful (as well as strange and horrible) things have been going on, but now you have the highlights. I won't promise to blog more often this time, as I seem to be unable to keep that one. But I will say I will try.
