RavenSylphe Machinima Productions

For the last 3 years, RavenSylphe Productions has been known as a World of Warcraft machinima production. Well I'd like to change that.

Now, before you all freak out that I'm going to say "peace out, bitches'' to the machinima community, sit still and listen.

No, I'm not going to quit Machinima for a long time, not until the day comes that I'm listening to radio, a good song comes on, and I don't think about how I would make a machinima out of it, what characters I would use, what settings. Until that day comes, I'll still be doing machinima. Maybe not always for World of Warcraft, but I'll be doing machinima.

What I mean by change is, I want to broaden my range of artistic achievements under the RavenSylphe Productions name.

For the last year, I've been experimenting with other artistic projects.

I've been experimenting with Blender and other 3d modeling/animating programs.

　
I've been working on a graphic novel, that I actually hope to turn into a 3d animated video series when I finish it.

I've even had time to do a little machinimating, though nothing of what I've done is ever going to be up on youtube since I have no desire to finish any of them. I am just starting on a machinima that will be put up on youtube, but it will not be completed until a while after Mist of Pandaria is released.

Speaking of which....

PANDAS!!!

I cannot wait until Mists of Pandaria is released! I know a lot of people are all "rawr! this is teh end, doods!" But I'm all super excited.

*cough cough* Anyways, I want to take RavenSylphe Productions further, and while I don't want to pull away from machinima just yet, I do want to broaded its content ability. So I keep an eye out for another RavenSylphe Productions channel.

"A new channel? Why not just put your stuff on the channel you already have?"

I would do that, but that channel is partnered with Machinima, Inc for machinima purposes. I'd kinda feel like I was stealing if I put up content that wasn't machinima related. And this way I can have the RavenSylphe Productions name, not RavenSylpheG, or whatever is the username for that channel.

So yeah, I will let you guys know when I get that up and running, as well as everything that'll go along with it, mainly a website (if I ever get around to designing it. (I really should do that since a friend of mine was kind enough to get the domain name for me.) (Thank you, Brett!))

Well, that's all the news I have for now.

Thank you all so much for your continued support even though I haven't done a video in...like a year now. I promise something will be coming soon.

Keep an eye out for updates and future videos.

Much love,

RavenSylphe of RavenSylphe Productions

Changes to Come

So, I'm just going to get right to it.

There are some definite changes happening to RavenSylphe Productions.

First off, yes to those who might have noticed that the site/facebook/twitter for Silverborn are now gone, the Silverborn is canceled for the forseeable future. The main reason for this is I want the series to be something way more than a World of Warcraft machinima series. I don't mean anything against wow machinima of course, it's just that the Silverborn has become so much more to me as I have written the story and created the world. I want to try to expand it to something more. Maybe I'll take what I have a write it into a novel, or maybe I'll try my hand at 3d animation and try it from there. I don't know yet, but hopefully it won't just sit and gather dust on my hard drive. I'll keep you guys updated on that.

Secondly, my inactivity on youtube, facebook, twitter, ect will not be so. I'll try to keep everyone even more updated, try to create more videos, ect ect ect! I have a few videos in production, not very far, but there you go. I'm going to try my hand at telling stories on a smaller scale than I full blown series, and also pick up my wand and try making music again.

Speaking of which, all my music that I have created so far is now free to download from my PureVolume page!

...anyways, I think that's all I really have to say, so I hope you all I happy 4.3 and Winter Holidays!

A Lack of Muse

A LACK OF MUSE

Hello everyone, friends and fans. I'm so sorry that it's been so long since I last posted any information on what I've been up to. I hate to say it, but, I really haven't been up to anything. I've been having all kinds of blocks take up residence in my inspiration center. Artist's Block, Writer's Block, and the terrifying Machinimator's Block are among the squators. I'm having a hard time getting them to vacate the premesis.

     Until I get back this block, I'm afraid there's probably going to be a very small chance of me releasing any new videos for a while.

     Not for lack of trying, of course.

   HALLOWED GREETINGS  

It's most definetly that time of year again, when the Azerothian winds turn cold and crisp, and the wonderful adventure filled nights come earlier and last longer. Yep, it's time again for Hallow's End. It's again time for the dreaded Headless Horseman to begin his bombardment of our fair Alliance/Horde towns. ...well, he can have Goldshire, I'm sure my fellow Moon Guardians will agree with me on that.

Anyways, I hope everyone has a fun Hallow's End, with lots of candy and a good chance at snatching the Horseman's Mount.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF

I'm sure at this point everyone is wondering what is the status of my current projects. Though not much progress has been made, I assure you that they are constantly in my thoughts.

WITCH HUNT

World of Warcraft Hallow's End Machinima

Like most machinimators and parody artists out there in the WoW machinima community, I do plan to do a video to celebrate this holiday. It's going to be very short and hopefully entertaining, set only to music, with very few sound effects, but hopefully the story will come across clearly, if at all. Expect it sometime between now and the end of the month.

THE SILVERBORN: FALL OF THE ORDER

     Probably my longest talked about project, and probably the most anticipated. Unfortunetly, it is still only in the writing stage, though at this point a majority of the episodes are written or outlined, characters have been designed, and locations decided. However, due to my writer's block, it's not going as quickly as it should. At this point I can safetly say it won't be ready to be machinimated or for me to even call for voice actors until at least early next year. And that's not counting the holidays between now and then that may slow progress.

Be sure to check the Silverborn website for more information and updates about the series and the world.
