New video, and matte painting attempt

So yesterday, we filmed a short video (and by short I mean it's about 4 minutes long). It's an action movie with some espionage like themes. It has like 2 muzzle flares, so I can probably get it up really soon and hold you over for FW2. So here is the plot. An operative is sent in to rescue a hostage being held by a member of The Rain. When he gets there, he unties the captive and is confronted by the member of The Rain. The operative is given a choice. You will have to watch the video when it comes out to see how it ends. I had a lot of fun (cold, but fun) acting the part of The Rain, and I talk with a Russian accent the entire time which is pretty fun. On an unrelated note, I also tried my hand at matte painting. I did this on my phone and it is only a still image, so if I were to do it in GIMP the right way, it could be much better. Oh, and looking at it on my phone made it look better than it is... lol.

The question "What is reality?" is irrelevant to to this blog post.

I had to use spell check on irrelevant. I tried to install Halo for the PC onto Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 to no avail. I just got a white screen in Wine, but I could hear the audio. Yeah, my Windows Xp partition is highly unstable due to the fact that my graphics drivers hate me. Watch as I boot up Morrowind. *Boots up Morrowind* Watch as I find my way t glory. *Finds way to glory, oh no, his graphics drivers took out a glass sword and stabbed him 37 times in the chest with it and then BSODed his system* <- that is the story of my life...

Anywho, Finger Warfare 2 is freaking awesome. I have seen the latest rough cut and it looks good. I can't wait to see the finished product. I believe it will be as good if not better than Finger Warfare: The Index and probably the best video we have ever done.

Yup.

PICKACHEEEEWY Finga Warfaya?

Well, it has been a while since the last blog post. Which is a statement that has probably been the death of many many blogs across the vast blogosphere...Well, have no fear! The blog is not dead, just really busy. It is as simple as that. We are much to busy with school in session, four schools at that.  So, jut lower all of your expectations for videos and content and everything will be good. Actually, we might have a music video in the works if I can work things out. That would be incredibly cool, for we have never done a music video before. Now, that I am thinking about it filming Finger Warfare: Double Digits could be pretty easy. Honestly, Finger Warfare was one of the easier movies to film. It only took a couple of hours, but post production was like two months. I really enjoy filming the action sequences. Huzzah, not that I am inspired I will have to right down some ideas. I am thinking of making it sort of like a western. There will defiantly be revolvers...

Moment of silence, for the COWS!

Halloween was fun. Yeah, got some candy. Not much else to spake about. We will film something eventually, but we are all still re organizing. Since we are trying to coordinate between four different schools, plans go awry. I laugh, my Dad was vacuuming and the dog barked and he was like "Agch! Kennel!!!" Right, umm. Yeah, I want to get out and film something, but it will have to take place on a break or something at this point, well maybe. Me and Hackee can probably do something that is not that extensive, but remains a good video. Who knows. On another note Finger Warfare is still doing surprisingly well. It is nearing 1000 views and is currently our most popular video. Dead Waters is preforming OK, but the fact that it is quite a long video leaves it unappealing to outsiders. I still love it though. Someone actually asked me when part two would be coming out. I was over whelmed with merriment. Huzzah!
