The universe conspires against me this week dear friends. After filming 3 different segments, one wasn’t captured and became unavailable to me, two Camstasia attempts went awry and I just haven’t the heart to try a 4th time with my current work load. In the meantime enjoy this little Poser concept animation for a music video. It’s was thrown together in 30 minutes so nothing very refine but fun just the same. Look for a proper JuJu next week if all goes as planned and enjoy the rest of your week.
My plan was to discuss the Poser software as a Pre-Visualization tool for film makers and I hope to make that video at some point.
Hey all, your friendly neighborhood design guru couldn’t let uncle Streebo have all the fun on the Poster Tips video, so I’ve made a part 2. Check it out after the leap as they say.
What a month for MVP. So many things a poppin. The Mad Monster Party Film Fest which has thus far got a great response will be going live in 2 short weeks. Very exciting stuff and some very entertaining films I hope you all will make it out to see.
After that Monster weekend, we’ll be, at long last sneaking into Muticia’s Movie Morgue for the filming of the first episode on March 31st. If any of you MVP Players would like to help out on the set of what is surely to be a fun little show, please message Jamie McRoberts on Facebook!
I know I’ve mentioned it previously, but Holy Crap, is that score for G.H.O.S.T. Amazing!!!!! I can’t wait for everyone to behold it! Soon, my mutants. Soon!
For those of you waiting to hear of a new Mutantville project, your wait is over. After spending 2011 clearing the books as it were, completing previously shot projects, holding screenings and the like, we’re back to another year of shooting projects. Among those projects is the one I’m announcing today.
The Metatron files will be MVP’s foray into the unknown universe of Dark Fantasy & Sci Fi. We’re all nerds here. Being such of course we love shows like Supernatural and The X-Files where the forces of good and evil arel ocked in pitched battle eac hand every week. We wanted to try our hand at something similar, albeit a web series. The pilot (It Begins Again), as per our usual modus operandi will be the entire season in mirco-cosum, so that it can serve as a complete story in itself.
Once more, we’ll carry the Mutant TV viewer along with us as we include behind the scenes coverage from inception to final release. The production will hold an open casting call for regional thespians for the episode set to shoot in late April/ early May 2012.
Men in Black, Weapons of Mass Destruction and scantily clad demon babes from hell. What is not to love, Mutants?!!!
You can follow the progress on Mutantville.com as well as on the official fan page, or simply check back each week for another “Making Metatron” video for vicarious film making enjoyment!
Brent & Eric with Bradley Hinson after a MARANG show in 2010
The other day I got a cool opportunity to design the album cover for a band I have a lot of appreciation for. The band is called, “thank you, spaceman” and is fronted by my friend, fellow MVP player and former band mate, Eric Cook. Like so many indie bands, I think that many of those who’ve seen them would agree with me that TYSM was over before it’s time. That said, I really enjoyed their sound and original flavor and am thankful for the privilege to play with them on several occasions as an opener.
The Front Booklet Design
Eric did manage, by sheer tenacity and force of will to get this album completed despite the fact that the band was no longer gigging. Having had the chance to listen to it before it’s official release, I can report that it is excellent. An album that deserved some truly unique album art. Continue Reading…
