News | June 24, 2008 (8:23 PM EST) - June So summer has been... decent so far. I was unable to find a job, so instead started writing room descriptions for a MUD. I also just recently discovered Ebay! So hopefully I'll still be able to make a few bucks. As far as everything else goes- I've been doing a lot of music lately, both for random jazz and Hypothesis (which just released a new single). I would like to expand on the WoW machinima story I've been outlining in my brain for the past month or so, but I really don't have time right now so it might have to wait. Anyways, stay tuned for more.
June 4, 2008 (9:52 AM EST) - School Ends! Yes I'm posting this at about 10 in the morning on a Wednesday, because today is my last day of school and I don't need to go in until noon! Anyways, I added a new image to the Design Gallery, which is in the same vein of MMO design ideas that I've had for a while. So I'm attempting to find a job for the summer, which will hopefully finance anything I decide to start playing and help me save up some money for college. Good day.
May 29, 2008 (10:07 PM EST) - Global Warming For Kids! And now I present my newest film: Global Warming For Kids! Global Warming For Kids is a fun little animated film explaining global warming to children. So that's my newest accomplishment cinema-wise, and I am still cooking up a cool little plot for a new WoW machinima that I'd like to write, produce, and co-direct. We'll see how far this one gets, though. I've also been having more thoughts on MMO design, following a recent free trial romp into Vanguard. More to come over the summer! Only a few days left! May 26, 2008 (9:58 PM EST) - Summer Approaching I'm making good progress on my next movie (the project for school), which will (hopefully) be released by this coming Friday. I also have to do a composer project for school, which is slowing progress on other things. However, I have been trying to do as much as I can art-wise, and am also brainstorming a plot for a future WoW machinima I would like to produce.
May 20, 2008 (3:41 PM EST) - Sorry for the Delay I've been very busy as the school year comes to end with finals and last minute projects etc. A Glimpse of Reality did premier on time at my school's film festival, but I was just too busy to upload it anywhere until now. It was met with unanimously positive reviews. I'm also working on another short film for one of those last minute projects in my Environmental Science course, which should be finished in a couple of weeks. It's a short, quirky, entertaining animation that explains global warming. You can view an early shot here. I've also uploaded a few new images to the new Design Gallery (also available through the 2D Art page), which shows some of my previous design art. I'll be uploading new drawings whenever I can, but, as I've said, I've been very busy lately. Hypothesis is working on its 2nd album, which will be much more hip-hop centered, and I'm very excited about that. I'll update again when I get the time!
March 3, 2008 (5:45 PM EST) - Home Stretch I showed what I had of A Glimpse of Reality last Friday and was met with general acceptance, which is great, but there is less than 2 weeks before I have to enter it into the film festival, and I'm not sure if I can finish in time. The main problem is just that I have so much stuff to draw, and still have yet to obtain a content use license from Blizzard. If I don't manage to get one in time, then the film festival is no-go, but I will still be able to release on the web.
January 28, 2008 (4:23 PM EST) - Progress Progress is going very well on A Glimpse of Reality. I'm currently in the process of obtaining content use licenses from CCP and Blizzard. It's a new semester at school however, and I have quite a large workload, so I may have to slow down a bit. Anyways, expect more eye candy whenever I get a chance...
January 15, 2008 (6:39 PM EST) - Happy New Year! Happy New Years! I'm a few weeks late, but whatever. So I've added a new page for A Glimpse of Reality, a mixed-media film that is set to release April 25th. That page also includes an early shot from the film so go check it out.
December 28, 2007 (9:47 PM EST) - Long Fricken Absence Yea, so I obviously haven't been updating this site. Sorry... to the three people who look at it (now probably less than that). Umm.. I don't really have anything new to share, which is also a downer. However, I should have new art sometime soon and some cinema in the future. Still looking forward to WAR (which is back in beta) and WotLK (next expansion for Warcraft). Anyways, happy new years.
September 13, 2007 (9:38 PM EST) - Where Have I Been? With all the stuff going on right now, I have been unable to keep this website up to date (not that anybody actually comes here). Anyways, I've been really busy with school (junior year is a bitch apparently), as well as music. The group formerly known as NC Instrumental have changed our name to Hypothesis . Check it out. Our album should be coming out in a few months.
August 26, 2007 (11:29 AM EST) - Stuff!! Just got back from vacation and I have some updates, as well as general news. Go check out the Mubla Eht August Promotional art (2D Art). I also added a new "Who am I?" section to the Home page. As far as news goes, go check out the trailer for Unlimited Escapism Volume 0 - Shock Your Senses which just looks awesome. The Baron seems to be rockin this one with great visuals as always, and several promised guest appearances. Also have a look at Redshift: Interlude from the Slashdance crew. It won an award at BlizzCon so you know it's good (plus Slashdance is pretty solid). As far as my own stuff goes, work with Chaosvex is going well, and I've gotten a part with another machinima great that I won't really say much about for now, but I'm hyped to be on board.
August 18, 2007 (8:13 PM EST) - Out of Town I'm out of town until August 25.
August 11, 2007 (12:13 AM EST) - Yellow Ribbon So NC Instrumental just put out a new song featuring yours truly. Check it out.
August 4, 2007 (1:09 PM EST) - Wrath of the Lich king So yea Blizzard officially announced the next expansion for WoW: Wrath of the Lich King. Looks like they're going to be adding some long awaited features. This kind of pisses me off because of course, the day my account expires they announce the next expansion. Who knows, maybe I'll play again. We'll see how it goes. Anyways, check it out.
August 2, 2007 (9:01 AM EST) - Back From Vacation Got home a few days ago. Have a new piece of art, which is actually fan-art for the upcoming movie Tales of the Past III by Maquan, so go check that out in the 2D art section. I'm also getting more notices about people looking for writers for their WoW machinima so hopefully that will keep me in business. Also, I will be out of town from the week of August 18 to August 25.
July 3, 2007 (5:19 PM EST) - Out of Town I forgot to post saying that I'm going to be out of town for the entire month of July. I'll be able to check in now adn then but nothing major. Expect updates when I return. To my knowledge I have not gotten into the WAR beta yet, but I have high expectations (which is a weakness). Anyways, happy 4th of July, and have a good month.
June 25, 2007 (8:12 PM EST) - Ode to Warhammer Beta So yea, go check out Ode to the Warhammer Beta, a new poem I wrote just like... an hour ago. For confused people, I posted it as Norimar (WoW), Makesfolkslose (Warhammer Alliance), and Stormreaver (MMORPG). Enjoy! The movie project is moving along nicely. If Chaosvex gives me the okay, I will probably be sharing my work from there on this website. Until then, sit tight.
June 20, 2007 (9:12 PM EST) - New Art etc. Go ahead and check out 2 new pieces of art in the 2D art section. The Mubla Eht June Promotional Art from NC Instrumental and a sketch of a Chaos Chosen form the upcoming Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.I'm hoping to hitch a beta seat in that by the way. Work on Chaosvex's project is continuing slowly. It's a big project but I'm really looking forward to the final product.
June 2, 2007 (8:57 PM EST) - I'm Free! So yea, I quit WoW forever. 2 days ago I canceled my subscription and uninstalled the game from my computer. Will I ever return? Chances point to yes. Does this mean I'm done with WoW machinima? As far as editing/directing, yes. However, I still intend to write and do whatever else the job requires. So Sons and Sinners is canceled, but it it's been going down hill for a while now. I also plan on moving on to other games. so maybe I will have movies in the future.
May 19, 2007 (3:17 PM EST) - Updates Well progress on my project with Chaosvex is going very well. I'm confident in his ability to direct and edit the film. Not gonna reveal much about it, only that I'm very very excited. Also, as most people know, Starcraft II was announced early this morning, so I will definitely be getting my hands on that in the future. Also, go check out NC Instrumental for some original music and artwork. (I've added the may promotional art to this webpage).
May 4, 2007 (8:50 AM EST) - I've Hit the Jackpot! I wanted to wait for it to be official before announcing it, so here it is, and it seems to be official. Chaosvex, the mastermind behind Level Up! and Leeroy's Unfinished Business has recruited me to write parts 2 and 3 of a WoW machinima he's producing. I don't want to reveal too much, only that I'm really excited about this project. Chaosvex has some supreme editing skills, and we have some very talented voice actors. Anyways, until further notice, production of Sons and Sinners has been stopped. Don't worry though, this new project will be something to see.
April 22, 2007 (7:58 PM EST) - Lacking Some Progress I have little time to work on Sons and Sinners lately. To put it bluntly, I just haven't seen anything that inspired me lately. However, I don't doubt for a second that the project will be done on time (whenever that time may be). Also, I have been working more on my old WC3 maps (which I might release on this website sometime). April 12, 2007 (10:46 PM EST) - New Stuffs First of all, I added a new piece of literature the other day, a poem/rap rightly entitled "Freestyle". For Sons and Sinners, production is going along as scheduled. Spring Break was this past week so I had a little extra time. I think I can safely say that atleast 1/3 of the film is finished.
April 4, 2007 (4:51 PM EST) - Cutting Back So I have decided to cut back on my WoW time. I quit my raiding guild and I'm going to try and become a more casual player. Hopefully, this will reflect positively on the work you see on this website. I'll be spending less time playing and more time working.
March 21, 2007 (5:13 PM EST) - Back in Business Good news, I've got Mapview back up and working, and editing and shooting have been going very well. I've been looking over and re-editing each individual shot, and I can safely say that over the past few months, my editing and shooting skills have vastly improved. However, since the movie is not being shot in order, it may be tough to see this. Anyways, I'm trying to get my older shots up to snuff of what my new shots are looking like (which is very good imo). More news as it comes.
March 18, 2007 (8:39 PM EST) - Welcome! Welcome to my new website: The Realm of Makesfolkslose! Thanks to Google, I am now able to share anything and everything. This website will be updated whenever I have new ideas to share, or just news about anything that may be of interest. Speaking of which: I hit 70 a few days ago, so I have already started shooting of Sons and Sinners back up. However, my Mapview program will not run, due to a problem with my new graphics drive, and so all I can do as of now is work with the greenscreen. However, if need be I can film in game. All for now. |
