    Angel episode "Smile Time"

    I don't know about the production, but I do know that they're selling replicas of the puppet. I don't know the company name, but I've seen it in my local comic book store. Also, I just saw an add for a Spike version of the puppet that will come out in a few months.

    dotBoom update: episode 1 first cut complete!

    Thanks! I can't wait for the first one, either. :) I'm doing insert shots today, then will probably pick musical cues, then get the cast back in for looping, where necessary, and at some point I need to make the 3d models of the office walls, to replace the greenscreen. Hardly anything left...

    dotBoom update: episode 1 first cut complete!

    It's missing greenscreened graphics, final audio, most musical cues, and sound effects, but it's done, and weighs in at just under 21 and a half minutes. Huzzah! I'm very excited. I wrote a post on my blog about it, with some snazzy production stills. Check it out...

    Putting your video on YouTube? Pls. read this

    Youtube is pretty much hemorraging money at this point, without any apparently plan to recoup funds. It *seems* like their business model is just to keep getting more funds from venture capital. It might make sense for this change in the terms of service if they were intending to offer a...

    Do you want to be in dotBoom?

    I could put a photo of him with "don't accept resumes from this man" below it at the receptionist's desk. :)

    Do you want to be in dotBoom?

    Those would also work. :) Also, depending on the photo, I might drop in one of the dotBoom characters, to make it look like they were really together. For verisimilitude.

    Putting your video on YouTube? Pls. read this

    That's an interesting (and disturbing) thing to put in their terms of service, considering how much of the content on the site isn't put up by people who own the right to it. I wonder if they'd assert ownership of *anything* uploaded to the site, or only if they can prove that the submitter...

    Do you want to be in dotBoom?

    I was asked what the photo should be like: I'm pretty easy, but the idea is that they'd be photos of friends/family of the puppets, taken in candid moments. So have the puppets wave, smile, try to block the photographer from getting a good shot; anything that a real person would do when...

    Do you want to be in dotBoom?

    Hey all, Here's the deal: as part of my ongoing attempt to make the show look as crazily detailed as possible, I'm dressing up the desk area for each puppet uniquely. And since the desks are office desks, it only makes sense that there would be photos of families and friends in various places...

    Green Screen Test

    Oh, so it's based on location instead of colour? Interesting. I see it in Premiere's list of filters, but I didn't know what it did. Thanks! I'm getting the trial of After Effects now.

    Green Screen Test

    I'm pretty happy with the camera, it's definitely nice to have. :) I'm using Premiere Pro right now. That keylight looks pretty sweet, though. I'm just using the Color and Chroma key filters in Premiere, messing around, trying to get something that looks good. And as far as the resolution...

    Just wanted to share my new puppet.

    That's a great puppet, renegade. Nice work!
