Is life really just "the shadows we make with our hands?"

So… time to update the websites. Jeff Hayes and I have been working on new designs for both the Buck Rogers Begins site and the Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 site. Once again, the phenomenal artwork is mostly Jeff’s and the coding, layout and additional graphics are mine.

The Buck Rogers site is getting an entire overhaul, totally new look, and a bunch of added sections finally (which we will be slowly expanding). The Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 site will be getting some new graphics, and some major changes to layout and navigation to make finding stuff easier – as well as a bunch of new content. Not as big a change visually as the Buck Rogers site, but the improved navigation and additional content should make up for it…

I think everyone will be thrilled with the new looks of both sites! Well, I hope everyone will be thrilled with it…

Hello all!

The Teaser for Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2′s Blood and Fire Part 2 has been released!

Check it out and enjoy!

Star Trek Phase 2: Blood and Fire Part 2 (TEASER)

So, we (my brother and I, for our company) ordered a backup server. Another IBM x440 SMP unit. Sadly, I am stuck here waiting for it and dont know when I will be getting upstate now. Happily, I will soon have another x440 to play with.

Ah, such conflicting emotions…

Well, with luck, I will get out of here in time to hang out in Ticonderoga for Fort Ticonderoga’s “Haunting” tomorrow… if not, then at the least Read more

Hey all,

Here’s part of Queensryche’s Silent Lucidity sung (or butchered – you decide) by Charles Root and Robert Mauro as filmed during the June 2009 Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 Kitumba shoot. We did better the year before, but sadly, no one caught it on video…

Enjoy!

Well, it’s off to a few hours sleep… then, at 6AM, I need to make the drive to the studio. Hate the drive, but love being up there.

Safe travels to everyone heading up.

G’night all!

Well, today is really just part of yesterday for me. I got up really late yesterday (because of a very very late night the night before), so I am simply plugging away through what little of yesterday I had straight into today. Then, it’s off to some sleep before the long trek (no pun intended) upstate to work on a Star Trek Phase 2 shoot.

In the meantime, I’ve re-transcoded part of Star Trek Phase 2: Blood and Fire Part 1 for our Dragonfly Streaming video release (HIGH DEF FOLKS!!!) to fix some issues with the video codec used (which wasn’t supported by their player… through no fault of theirs… when I fixed an audio sync issue, I used the wrong output codec). Anyway, they’ll be done with their part soon, which places the ball back in my court for the website updates, with the help of the very talented Jeff Hayes of Plasmafire Graphics for some of the graphics work (if you haven’t checked out his work, you should… besides some gorgeous in-episode stuff, he’s done far more!). So, anyway, once I get back from the Pickup Shoot this weekend, it’s back to some website modifications so that Star Trek Phase 2: Blood and Fire Part 1 is ready for streaming delivery.

Well, I talk a lot about my Star Trek Phase 2 work, but I have a lot of other things going on right now as well. I’ve got a lot of edits to do for other websites, and some programming stuff to finish in the next few hours (on schedule, thankfully – at least so far) for a local EMS/Ambulance Company.

Off to some more Iron Maiden and some more work!!!

I’ll be away in the boonies helping shoot some more scenes for a Star Trek Phase 2 episode.
