Something Calls Me

It's been a little over three years now since I've created a video, but considering the innovations I've seen within the machinima community as of late, I have to tell you that it's inspired me to slap the dust from my coat and get back into the game.

I'll admit that it feels a little strange to be talking about what I've been seeing in the "community." For those of you who know me best I've always been such a reclusive little shit, yet when I checked out my friend's blog roll the other day, I was pleasantly surprised while visiting a machinima forum I was led to the actual machinima channel on Justin TV. I have to mention that I almost cried after two hours watching Sims 2 videos made by veteran and newbie directors. It was a nostalgic and refreshing experience for me; kind of like re-discovering a toy you haven't played with for years. As a result I've happily contributed my little pieces of history to the channel, and now I want more.

Of course, again, for those of you who know me best, I'm refusing to tell you about my project(s) at the moment. Please understand when I tell you that I'm not being a snob. I've just become rather superstitious of such things since it's been a valuable lesson from my past that I'll never complete the project if I revealed screen shots, test films or even let loose the biggest mistake and tell you about the video concepts entirely. I'll let it out eventually, but only after there's a finished project, or at best, when the process is nearly finished and I'm comfortable heading towards the end result.
