The TMU Ollie Awards 2010
The Second Annual Ollies
Yes, folks! It’s that time again! Ollie time! (Cue bad MCHammer impression).
TMU’s premiere awards are back for their second year; after such a great reception last time, we’re gonna try to go bigger and better this year!
For those who weren’t around last year, the process is simple; we are looking for everyone (for indeed YOU, as the viewing public, will be the "members of the Academy" in these awards) to place their votes for the award categories below; everyone gets a vote and the winners will be chosen based on the total number of votes tallied for each category. This way, the community speaks, and the winners will be those voted for BY the community as a whole.
You can Nominate those films, series, actors, modders, directors, writers, musicians, etc, that qualify in the Nomination Phase. This phase will give us our shortlist of candidates for the Voting Phase which will determine the final winners of the coveted 2010 Ollies!
Go here to see the full post, including how to nominate YOUR choices for this year's awards!

I thought I'd dip my toe in the water this year and throw my hat into the ring for this year's Roger Thong competition, with a follow up (of sorts) to the Strange Worlds movie I did for the Weekly Look Short Film contest.
Dr Foster Gloucester returns with the sordid tale of the Beast of Eastbourne, featuring the vocal talents of Ken, Monk, Chris and Mac (and my bad regional accents to boot :)). Fun putting it together as the last "minor movie" before work starts full tilt on Odyssey Season Two.
Hopefully, it'll be out sometime this week...

The Roger and Ken Show 9 May 2010
The Old Git and I will be on air tonight, discussing Conquest: Blackstar Rising (amongst other stuff, as we usually do, no doubt ;)) at the usual place.
In the first guest lot, our pal Uber will be on, so it's a sci-fi special tonight :)
How the process of "long distance collaboration" worked; the making of the movie, and all the usual associated chatter.
So, come along and join the fun :)

Conquest: Blackstar Rising
Thanks to all those who made the premiere last night; hopefully a good time was had by all.
DL did a good job with the stream; very little in the way of problems for such a long movie.
The download link is available from the Production Thread on TMU; due to the size, I'm having to send the movie to hosting as two seperate files (the full movie won't convert to enable embedding).
It is available on BlipTV at the moment, but isn't embeddable; once I have the two pieces uploaded, I'll post them to TMU.
EDIT: Thanks to Ken, it's now available on TMU for your viewing pleasure!

4 months in the making and last night Conquest: Blackstar Rising was finally rendered!
A mammoth task, fraught with difficulties (not least both K4 and I developing ear infections at roughly the same time, and me injuring my elbow and having to struggle with a sling for 2 weeks right in the middle of the project) but it came out rather well; all that's left to do now is for The Daddy to sign off on the finished product and sort out a premiere date.
All of which means I can now turn my attentions back to Odyssey Season Two and start work on that at last; sheesh, is there no end to it all? :P

Been so busy IRL and with putting BSR together I haven't posted a lot recently (well, at all here, anyway :))
Visual work well underway; two scenes rendered for sound editing which have winged (wung?) their merry way off to K4 for him to work his magic (or at least they will once he's recovered from the galloping lurgy he's currently suffering; must be awful being that ancient and having a cold :P)
So, work continuing apace on this; am pretty much waiting for the principal cast to get their lines in now before continuing, so I can structure the other scenes based off their performances.
And then Odyssey Season Two to start, Eldritch to finish... and who knows what else is on the cards?
Laters, phantom reader dudes!
