Taken with my cell with "added" crappy reflection. $44.91 to fill up the tank on a 99 Neon. I'm not really complaining, It may sound crazy, but I don't even care if it goes to $8.00 a gallon. Nancy and I only have one car and we live close enough to her job that she can walk and hey, it's a Neon not some honkin SUV (must suck for them).

May be $8.00 a gallon is what it'll take to help get us off the sauce.

Sothink here I come....right back where I started from...

So...if you've been following my twitter postings you'll know that I downloaded the trial version of Flash CS3 a couple of days ago and have been playing (i.e. wanting to smash its physicalessness into nothingness...if that's even possible) with it. The whole reason for this excursion was because Sothink Quicker was crashing whenever I tried importing video that I had worked with in Photoshop CS3. I just couldn't get it to work. So, I resined myself to getting Flash CS3 and the $699 price tag that goes with it. However after playing with it a little I found myself becoming more and more frustrated over (what is in my opinion an) overly complex action script set up. I mean come on! I'm a creator I don't want to lean another language just to make a button or go from one scene to another I just want to tell the software to "make this do that." and be done with it. That's what's so good about Sothink...simple. I can make a functional button with one line of action script...and to make a scene go from one to another...get this I don't haft to do anything. It just goes. Anyway so now I'm back working with Sothink Quicker and have found a video encoder (cost $45) that will convert the .mov files so that Quicker can read them. I know some day I'll need to become proficient with Adobe Flash but, I'm going to put that off for as long as possible.

All praise for the P!

The P setting on the Nikon D40 that is. I was speaking to my co-conspirator Lukus Traverso about how the new camera is smarter than me (as far as taking pictures that is...). Luckily the D40 includes a setting that more or less automates the ISO and Aperture settings giving the best shot possible to the inexperienced...something that I will not be forever. I also found this site that really helps if your new to photography or DSLR's.

We're not alone...

I was scouring the web the other day looking for other Robotech fan projects when I discovered Loaded Barrel Studios. It looks like they're out of New York and are working on their own live action graphic novel titled Brielle and the Horror! From some of the news I've read they're hitting the comic conventions on the east coast so if your in the area check them out.

Oh...and for Loaded Barrel Studios...welcome!

Added a link

At the behest of Lukus Traverso, I added the Robotech LAG-Novel link. This should make it easier to find the fan project.

We're back!

Nancy was very, very nice and replaced our dead computer with a brand spanking new one! Actually we had it for a little while but, I was loading all the software so that we can get back to business. The last part fell into place this week when Sothink (really cool people) helped me get back my key for their software. Thank you Thank you!

So, what are we up to? Although it may be a little while before ADGW is up and running we have been keeping ourselves busy. We've put together a couple of pages for a Robotech contest that Capt. JLS is running on his blog and we're in the middle of another Robotech project that I hope to be able to talk about in the near future.

So...hang in there a little longer...please.

thanks

Catistrophic Falure

I have some unfortunate news. Due to my computer crashing (C Drive imploded) ADGW will not be out this year. At this point I don't have an ETA. We're looking at a new computer and getting the tools on it. The good news is that the data for ADGW and the other LAG-Novels were on the a separate HD.

Thanks for the understanding and have a happy holiday.

Santa if your reading this, can I please have a new computer maxed out with RAM?

Nancy Kay Creations...and my own 2 cents

DON'T HAVE AN ANEURYSM BUT, I'm actually posting more that once this month! Scary isn't it?

I just wanted to let everyone know that Nancy has a new blog about her jewelry and from some of the responses she's received it sounds like she could have herself a nice little business in the not to distant future. I, myself, have also been inspired by her art work and was compelled to create some new pieces to complement some of her jewelry.

Hello from digitalcole!

Time for what has become a monthly update. We're still working on ADGW. We've hammered out the characters and have found people to fill their rolls. I'm still shooting for a December release date probably around Christmas.

hang in there...

-adc-

Where are they now?

"a logo by Lukus Traverso"

Well just over a month from our last post and here I thought I'd keep on top of things, like filling your heads with all sorts of minute details about how are endeavors will be bearing fruit any moment now...no...wait...wait a little more...um...

I'm putting together a menu for ADGW and we've shot some video as well. As for the story we're putting together a "pilot" that will introduce the characters and add some background. I know I'm jinxing this by writing it but, we're looking at a December release, that's still 07 right?...thanks for hanging in there.

two months and nothing!...what is up!

"gun prop for ADGW"


I can't believe our last post was in June...Man where has the time gone. Let me see...we're still working on getting ADGW together, we've taken many photos and now we're working out the first part of the story...it's looking like we'll be adding a lot more video to this project, we have so many cool ideas and we want to explore them all.

Robotech is going on the back burner for now, It just seems like the community is a little too angry for our taste but, we're not giving up. So Robotech fans have faith.

TMNT project...well, all we need to do is draw it...all I need to do that is get one hand free...a real challenge with a 7 month old running around...but, I'll see what I can do.

Yet another futile art sale is on the horizon. Yes I know I should have learned my lesson four or five times ago but, if we don't generate some extra cash the future is going to...how should I say it...look very bleak.

Sorry for not posting, I'll work on that...no really ;)
