Johnnie has posted an update to the BloodSpell Production Blog regarding last night’s festivities in Edinburgh. Apparently, they brought in St. Patrick’s Day in style, and managed to pull off a BloodSpell preview screening in spite of some technical challenges, which aren’t uncommon for public machinima events. I had an all-nighter of my own, but on Thursday instead, rushing to get the rough cuts of Episodes 2 and 3 finished sound-wise, and then Hugh and I were scheming furiously on Friday morning to get the files to him over my sheepishly poor upstream.

Now it’s back to the real work of getting the real versions of Act 1 complete and ready for consumption.

Beyond that, there’s been a startling surge in membership and forum activity over at MPrem, as some recent M.com defectors make their way to a new oasis in discourse. Really good discussions on a variety of subjects, in a well-moderated environment. Already a good group of people over there, whom I’m coming to think of as friends, and the new additions to the interaction are welcome!

And you’ve probably already heard about the Online Machinima Film Festival… but if you haven’t, get over there and register so you can participate!

I’ve got a couple surprises on the way that I’m excited to share with you soon. Stay tuned!
