news and notes 2.11.13

Valentine's Day, everybody!

Last week we used the wonders of technology to have our first full-fledged meeting in months. We went over 2 hours in a Google+ hangout and I have to say, it was pretty cool to get that opportunity. (What, you've never heard of Google+? I think it was Google's grand attempt to overthrow Facebook, but anyway...) To be honest we probably got even more done than we would have in person. (Fewer chances for distraction.) The topic of discussion: What do we do this year? All I can say is there is a LOT on the table and I'm excited about all of it. I have no idea how much we'll get to do and I'm always reluctant to give anything away, but I'll say the ideas include suspense and drama in addition to the regular nonsense you're used to. You already know there are at least three new Space Cops episodes in some level of production but there is also a brand new web series is also high on the agenda.

My public service announcement for the week:  Valentine's Day approacheth, gentlemen. That would be Thursday.

Did everybody catch Allen's movie rental reviews from Friday? If not, they could very well save your life... or recommend a good movie to rent.

Saturday we released a new VHessay on Space CampAnother VHessay already? Uh yeah, we're on fire. Space Camp made less than ten million dollars at the box office, so there's a decent chance you haven't seen it. All the more reason to read the essay and find out what a gem you've been missing. Space Camp is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made about kids who accidentally get launched into space by a sentient robot.

Look like fun?
Anybody looking for a Space Cops 4 update? Well, right now I hate myself for shooting so much green screen footage. Poorly lit green screens shot on Standard Def do not equal fun for me. Who knows what rotoscoping is? It's when you cut an image out of video footage frame by frame and that's what I did all weekend long. Hoo. Ray.

This week you can expect an Indie Wednesday as usual and who knows what else. I need to put some kind of new video up soon. I'll try to get on that. Maybe Cannonball deleted scenes or the 3 Ladies behind-the-scenes footage. The easiest way to make sure you don't miss anything is to Like our Facebook page! Hint, hint.

Have a good week everybody.
Valentine's Day, fellas.... Thursday!
