Okay this is it.
I’m finally starting a blog. I’ve got a lot of sites out there but I’m trying to focus some of this online media to simpler areas where you can find out about me, my creative partners and some of the projects we are creating.
Just too start off I’m an artist. I do graphic arts, I love to draw and I’ve always wanted to make movies. My day job is making art for video games. Maybe you’ve heard of this… Golden Tee Golf.
I’ve worked on that and many other games out there and some that haven’t seen the light of day. But that’s alright at least I get to spend most of my time creating art of some kind. When I’m not working I like creating computer graphics and making movies. I finished one after along hiatus from making films. You can view it here. Making this has inspired me to make more. I really don’t know why I haven’t made more I guess life just has a way of showing you other paths that you feel like you have to take. So now I’m taking this one back.
I’m not really sure what or how often I’ll be writing here but I will be. I’ll be writing about projects I’m starting and working on. My ideas on media making it and enjoying it. I’m a big fan of TV and Movies so I’ll be making comments on them too.
The biggest change in my professional life has been podcasting, or at least the idea of it. I was turned on to it about a year and half ago by some friends at work. I mostly start with tutorial video related to my work. Oh yeah I should say right now if you don’t already know this. Podcasting is not just audio it’s video too. And it’s everything Radio and TV is not!
After I got bored with the tutorials I started looking around. I found Mysterious Universe. Okay, I like UFO’s and Bigfoot too. This opened my eyes to a whole new world of broadcasting. I found comedy, dramas and so many news format types of show that focused on topics I was interested in that I was hooked. With my background in art and filmmaking I’ve decided to explore this as a viable way to release my and my friends content. People are doing some of it is great some not so. But the freedom that it represents to independent content creators is beyond imagination. I believe the TV and FILM industry is not prepared for this and the way they do business means I don’t think they ever could.
It’s going to take time 5, 10 maybe 15 years but the industry is going to change. I hope to be one of those content creators that can be on ground floor of some media breakthroughs.
