So yesterday was my first roller derby experience, and it was quite awesome. Of course, how can a gang of chicks on rollerskates slamming into each other repeatedly NOT be awesome? Our friend Shannon, aka Big Daddy Voodoo, was one of the announcers, and did a fantastic job. It's a lot more exciting than any other sport I've attended, and brought back memories of getting knocked around left and right during soccer. Vicious stuff, highly recommended.
So! Projects. I finally finished the Student Entries poster for SOAPIFF, and I am quite proud of it. It's going on the website um, eventually, but here's the final product:
Much thanks to my comrade AJ for allowing me to use his face. Actually, the photo is MEANT to be in Black Hole Ghost, and will be seen in that, but it works well for this, don't you think? Also makes a good Godzilla reference without overtly showing it.
Speaking of which, Black Hole Ghost is completely finished with the exception of MUSIC. Which I'm currently doing myself using GarageBand and a USB keyboard. With all the crazy options in that program, it is way too bloody easy to make really bad synthesizer music out of a bad old videogame or a bad sci fi film. It brings to memory the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode where they watch Pod People.
Point being: The soundtrack to Black Hole Ghost MIGHT sound like a bad 70's sci fi film. I'm trying my best for it NOT to, but you know.
HOWEVER, I have to do a "Machinima" in Second Life, which is to say, I use a program to record my actions in Second Life, load it into an editing program, and produce an animation. So I will doing an infomercial about...THE FUTURE. With aliens, UFOs, robots, and other fun stuff. And for that, I WILL do really bad 70's sci fi synthesizer crap. So yay!
No I do not know how to play a keyboard. Yes, this makes it more fun.
Now, food. AWAY.
