DUB COLLAB
There it was, all alone, some beautifully animated scenes... abandoned to the Collab-Void.

But finally, after 3 months of attempting black rituals to ressurrect the Dub Collab ... it is done. I think it's pretty damn solid. And when you take into account the creative twist that ALL SOUNDS (including fx,music, etc) had to be created by the VA's mouths... well that's pretty damn cool.

Special thanks to Chris Zambelis for picking up so much slack on the VA front and constantly delivering tasty goods.

Check it out in all it's wonderfully animated and mouth-made glory: I hope you enjoy the Dub Collab

Three things...

(1) Slug-Salt has agreed to provide us with a track for this event/piece ... I can't quite communicate how awesome that is.
(2) The GameJam didn't phase the group, however, we did lose one. RedHarvest. Apparently, he's some kind of famous rock star and has been booked for a gig that same day. He dying wish, was for NeroGeist to take his spot. As Nero has been in the last 2 collabs, and he was asked for by request ... I am honoring it.
(3) Reserve Team collab : I'm a glutton for punishment. Alas. So I'll send out a formal notice to all artists in the reserve team and who have stated their interest in the thread. On the day of the collab, they will also be given a schedule and parts will be mailed to me by the end of that day. When time allows, I'll string them together.

XBOX Kinect
I didn't wanna like it as much as I do. It's got a bit of lag, but honestly ... it's downright cool. This initial launch of games is pretty meh (in terms of "action") ... however I can't wait for first Silent Hill Kinect!!!

THE FUTURE
Having just turned 30 last week, I was kind of cornered into thinking about what the hell I'm doing spending the little free time I have making flash cartoons. I'm not sure if I made a real decision or not. The wife certainly doesn't appreciate the time spent slouching over the comp. But I'm fairly sure the answer falls somewhere between learning new techniques that I've already been able to apply to my work for our clients ... and the need to have fun, being creative.

It's hokey, sure. But part of me feels like I have to justify the hours. Is that what happens once you reach a certain age? You start feeling like you should or should not do things based on how much you can justify spending the time...? Bah.

Fuck it, no one's reading this.

That said... what I really meant to write was ... I've got more and more solo projects I'd like to do, one of which is a sequel to Oney's Jack Matthews (which I'll be pm-ing him for permission... next year).
