Setting a Limit

It's been a little while since I started all of the collaborations that I am currently working on, and I find that I have far too many. Because of this I can barely get any work done with any of them. After I get done with this huge work load (as well as a quick break), I am going to limit the number of projects that I will do at one time to 3 or 4, depending on how much work I am going to have to put into each. At least 1 of those will be a personal project so that leaves me with at least 2 slots open for collaborations.

In other news, I am also working on a novel that I am titeling "Necro", the first in a short series that I have planned, and a comic book series, "Dragonkin" (I am so trying to kill myself!). Both stories take place in the same world of Dragon Song.  

Necro is about Alick of Stonebird, a young Warden, and his charge, necromancer Ghaqy Maddayrha. The premises behind this story is  "What if dark isn't necessarily bad?" This is why I chose one of the main characters as a necromancer, though I haven't even reached her in the story yet, lol.

Dragonkin follows dragonkin girl Azrea Greenscale and her drake father Bazkhul in their adventures with the 59th Dragoneeres. (For those who are curious, a dragonkin is the child of a human and a drake, while drakes are the children of dragons and humans. Don't ask me how that works, I haven't quite figured that out.)

Anyways, Spring Break is also over for me, so it's back to school and hours of sitting infront of a computer with nothing to do, but work on said novel and comic.

Boredom, how fun it is =D

Well after Isolte announced the change of her 'band name' to [Girls Do Play WoW] I was inspired to make an album cover(?) and wallpaper(?)....kinda :3

Hope ya like it, Isolte. Though I'm sure you can come up with something WAY better^^

I don't even know why I posted this here...boredom, maybe? :D

Anyone know what a M.E.P. is?

M.E.P. = Multi Editor Project

When I go looking at AMVs [Anime Music Videos] and GMVs [Game Music Videos] I find M.E.P.s all over the place. What are they? They are Multi Editor Projects, where multiple AMV/GMV creators get together and make music videos. Each editor gets a certain amount of the song in which they produce video, the length of their part depending on how many editors there are.

Well, I've been juggling the idea around for a while, but I've decided to put the idea out for you guys to comment on. And what is this idea? Why to have a M.E.P. for machinima! Well I guess that would be M.M.P. (multi machinimator project x3) actually. We would get a few machinimators together, pick out a song which we would then divide into parts that each of us would work on. I think it's an awesome idea ^_^

Unfortunately, with the way YouTube is about copyrighted music, it would probably be hard to find a song to do it to. So that's where I came up with this other idea. Instead of just an MMP (which would still be awesome idea if we could find the right song), it instead be a M.M.P.A.P., or Multi Machinimator and Parody Artist Project, where a few machinimators and parody artists would get together and produce an awesome music video. We would get together a few machinmators and parody artists, find a song to parody, split up into teams, 1 parody artist to 1 machinimator (I CALL ISOLTE! lol). The parody artists would do their parts and the machinmators would machinimate ONLY the part that their artist did. I think it would be an awesome way to show all of the awesome machinimators and parody artists out there in one video! It could include well known machinimators/parody artists and some of the unknowns.

Unfortunately, with all the work I'm having to do right now, I wouldn't be able to start it up for a li'l while.

Anyways, let me know whatcha think, though I don't know if I explained it very well...>>

C'ya!

A Quick Update - March 11, 2010

Well now that WoW is working for me again I'm working again on machinima.
Here's a quick look at what I'm doin.

I'm still hard at work on Alli Always Die for Xylan and Shadowstep. I have most of it done in Sony Vegas and am busy importing the footage into After Effects to add some neat effects. I'll hopefully have that one done here soon.

I'm also working hard on We Were Gladiators for KirstieAnne and Furious Phil. Trying some new things with that one and doing it compeletly in Sony Vegas since in order to do what I want, After Effects would be too muh. That one should be done not long, if not before, Alli Always Die.

I'm also now working on the Official video for EmberIsolte's Attention Whore. I'm also doing some experimenting with this one. Working with textures and overlays. I'll do as much as I can with After Fx with this one as I can. No going to over do it though as I'm still new to the program. I hope you'll like it Isolte!

I've yet to start working on Epic Gear for Dark, Wick, Instictz, and Vofgofm. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it yet, having a hard time trying to translate it to machinima. Unfortunetly, I'm not too entirely sure about the characters of each singer. I'll start working on that soon though.

I've also got a few more collaborations that may be coming. One with Cryssy for sure and another that I'm not too sure about.

I'm really happy that I'm getting so many collaborations, but it's getting kinda overwhelming. If you need something machinimated, I'll think about it, and, if I accept, you'll have to remember to be really patient. Thanks. TTYL!
