Any last words?

I could go into a big long story, and waste most of yawls time. But I'm just going to get straight to the point.



For now I am going to stop making Machinima. This might come as a sudden shock, as to all the hype that I have been doing for SOURCE. But here in the past week I have noticed something:



I am going though an extremly big change in my life, probably the biggest. At the end of the summer I am moving out of my little suburban town in Arkansas, over a thousand miles away to another Nation (Canada). Where I will live for a year with my girlfriend Kate, before we begin our journey called life in NYC.



Right now, I have other priorities I must get in-line. Things that are far more important, far more stressful, and far more complicated, and I can't have the thought of Machinima lingering in the back of my head adding to that fire.



So effective as of now, I am through with Machinima. Eden will still function as a company, but all current projects (including SOURCE and HAVEN) are going to be put on hold indefinitely.



This might be my last update for a while. I will still be active as an Admin over at HaloGrid.com, but for right now my place is with myself, and her. This isn't over, not by a long shot.



Thanks for everything!

Two new intros!





I've had a lot on my plate within the last few weeks. Not only the production for SOURCE (which by the way is coming along GREAT, should be done within the week)



Anyway, a few weeks ago I got an email from a Mr. David Shields. He requested if I could possibly make him a few intros. One intro for his film company - DMS ENTERTAINMENT LTD. and another for the mother production company - Studio32.



As noted I was in the process of producing SOURCE. So to me, these intros feel more rushed than some of the previous because of that. I used a basic tutorial for the base of the intro (something I don't do often) then I made my own adjustments to that tutorial, taking things out, adding things in... giving it my own style and flare. Enjoy.

And the winner is... Par Avion!



As you might know Par Avion was my submission to the GamingTV.us "Laughs for Cash" contest. Today the winners were announced, and shockingly Par Avion took home first place.



From what I heard, it was an extremly close race between tavishhill2003 (the creator of VULVA - which took 2nd) and I.



Along with Tavish, there was some extremly stiff and talented competition in the contest. Such as Darkspire Films, Treeskunk Productions, and Hellhawk.



To me, all the videos were outrageously hilarious, and it was a great honor to be mentioned with such great talent of the likes. I had an amazing time participating in the contest, and I would like to thank the good guys over at GTV and Second Foundation for putting this amazing show on for us.

April showers bring May videos?



SOURCE is well into production, and I hope to have the first episode completed by May 9th. Once the first episode is complete I will begin production on the second episode which should take another week. After both episodes are complete I will release episode I, and start production on episode III.



As you can see, episode I has been appropriately dubbed "Pilot". Look forward to the release of SOURCE: Episode I "Pilot" in hopefully two weeks.

Business as usual.



Few things to note here - Last night I began production on SOURCE. I decided to start a few days earlier than schedule implied just because I can't wait any longer. I WANT TO GET THIS OUT!



Also Twilkey, an Admin over at GamingTV.us has contacted me with interest for me to design an intro for Someday-Night Grifball. As well as a new logo, I happily accepted this proposal, so that adds to my list of Eden Created Content that I have been working on.



I've also been playing a ton of the Metal Gear Online Beta, as well as Grand Theft Auto 4. I must say... both in there own ways are truly revolutionary to video gaming. To sum it up their both a couple of beautiful games, I must say.



This weekend I will continue with SOURCE and hope to get it out by next weekend.

All flash and no bang.

Well I have been designing a lot of group intros for various people here lately. So I figured I would create a section for me to put them all into one location. Currently I am designing 3 more creations for a certain film company. So those should be added soon.



Check them out on the side panel - under Eden Created Content!
