Lions, Tigers, and Bears - Oh My!
Thursday, December 3, 2009
I know my posts have been thin and nonexistent, but I've been swamped. I'm just editing "Fierce Cravings - Episode 2: Tainted" and the effects work has been crazy. As I write this I'm rendering the first scene edits with an effects sequence. Mind you, the effect turned out GREAT!
I'm trying to maintain my twitter presence (myself, the main character, and other characters waiting in the wings), post on the company blog, the story blog for FC, maintain the PR, and work on coming episodes. Shesh, glad to be busy.
I have lost several friends recently with this project taking off. Disappointing, but not unexpected. Weird when you have friends in the biz who get annoyed because you're doing and not just talking. A lot of writers and film people just keep talking about their next projects and never actually do them. It's easier to have something in the works that never succeeds than to do something and fail.
I started Astonishing Adventures Magazine years back because a bunch of us were not getting published and I wanted to fix that. Tim left early in AAM's life and my enthusiasm left too. Katherine came in and has been a force of nature with the magazine because she believes in getting people seen too.
I talk a lot about the unexplored world that the Internet offers to the creator. I listened to people like Warren Ellis, John Rogers, and Bill Cunningham about their ideas concerning the nextgen media. I'm hoping to pioneer some of this new territory with storytelling via movie, twitter, blog at the same time.
The responses have been incredible and the subscriptions on iTunes keep flowing in (free - grrr).
I haven't forgotten you guys, I'm just trying to tell you a BIG story.
