New Left 4 Dead short begins work

Machinima News 27 Comments »

Let’s keep this short and sweet. Here’s your big clue as to what it’s going to be:

Hint #2: The Monkees.

Fair enough for now? I’m not going to be giving away the concept of the video or any specific details about it (it’ll probably be around two and a half minutes long) but you should get an idea of where this is going. I expect filming to begin somewhat soon…We may have to take an extended moment of silence to pay respect for the legend that passed away this week…Yes, I speak of none other than Farrah Fawcett. Rest in Peace, icon. Remember, we’re just beginning production on this, so a completion date is uncertain. Definitely not anytime within a week or two though.

Columbus and being laid-back.

Machinima News, Other News 24 Comments »

Hello everybody. A bit late of a site post and things have been quite lazy and easygoing lately, so it’s about time for a quick update.

A total of seven of us made it to Columbus, Ohio last weekend for a fun get-together of JS cast members. A number of people have asked, “why Ohio?” and there were a number of reasons for that. First, we’re pretty much all from the Midwest. Second, we had a couple people living in the area and therefore knew the area well, and third, and the one I am keen on mentioning is that of Boris and Crackbone – both who don’t live nearly as far from Columbus as most of us who actually went. I knew they’d be hard to get to come along for the fun, and sure enough, despite Columbus being a city relatively near them, neither of them showed up for the weekend. So yeah, they stood us up. Bleh! Really not much of a surprise. So over the weekend, it was myself, Stev, ConfusedWisdom, MetalLizard, MrSentual, HKSniper, and Nowhere who all showed up. You can check out pictures that four of us took here, some great stuff:

Unfortunately, I still haven’t gotten around to the DOD:S vs Hidden Source Wars bloopers because of all the laziness going on (Summer is fun), work, and moreso because I can’t personally find a decent way to present them as they are not very much like the last set of Source Wars bloopers. Eventually though, I will get around to it. Another reason for the delay is we recently switched hosting control from the website into our total control, but there were some side-effects because of that and some of our hosting content was lost. I’ll be working on getting that back up in a matter of time.

What’s next on the moviemaking agenda is a little unsure as of yet – I’ve got three ideas floating around, each of them difficult and unique in their own way, and I’m hoping to end up doing the shortest of the three (duration wise) that involves using Left 4 Dead…finally! Keep checking back for more word.

E3 Special with Source Mod Todd! Columbus! More updates!

Community News, Machinima News, Other News 30 Comments »

Surprise impromptu video release – Source Mod Todd went to E3 this past week and reported live after going to the conferences! You probably have already seen it if you’ve been checking out our facebook page lately, but if not, you can check out the movie here. Has our typical style of humor. It’s an idea that originated from MrSentual.

The DOD:S vs Hidden extra bloopers compilation is still needing work, but you can expect that before we leave for Columbus, Ohio this coming June 12th-June 14th. A total of eight or nine JS people will be travelling there for a first ever actual group meetup. Sounds gay, doesn’t it? Yeah. But a lot of good stuff will probably come out of it. As far as our next project goes, that’ll be decided and will begin work on once we all come back from Columbus. See you then.
