1. My June 1 appearance on The Wolf & Dulci Hour (podcast) is now available for download. I talk about CrazyTalk and the 1000 Words series.
2. NY Times: Web Series Tied to 'Blade Runner' Is In The Works - The creators are embracing the Creative Commons license for distribution, which I think may be a Hollywood first for a major director.
3. Treadster's DoubleKill Episode 1 is now available in HD, truly the way it was meant to be seen.
4. Dave Tyner, creator of DoubleKill, has graciously published a three part tutorial for the Unreal Engine FaceFX system: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
5. Dr. Nemesis just released a test video for a new series he's working on, a series featuring a crossover of Marvel/DC comics characters. It is delicious, check it out!
6. Quidam 3, the amazing character creation software, is out, and Tony Bannan has given us a nice "first look" at the program
7. The trailer for Jin Sung Choi's Entering the Mind Through the Mouth is just the latest in great films to find its way into the Recommended Viewing section of the Z-Studios Forum. If you haven't already joined us there, we hope you'll do so today. Great machinima and general filmmaking talk for adults.
8. Also on that forum, visible to registered members only, I've started up an idea giveaway! Film story ideas that seemed to have some promise but I realize I won't have time to produce them all so I'm letting them go. Why throw decent ideas you don't have time to pursue into the bin? There's a simple honor system in place, you can peruse the ideas currently up for grabs (either for inspiration or acquisition), or offer up your own if you like.
