Power to the Pixel!

Next week I'm off to Power to the Pixel's, "Cross Media Forum" in London. PTTP seems to be a very nice organization, they write themselves on their homepage: !--break-->

 "Power to the Pixel is a company dedicated to supporting film and the wider media in its transition to a digital age with a passion for connecting creative talent to audiences. All its cross-media services are dedicated to a core idea that success is driven by knowledge – most critically of how to work in a rapidly-evolving, customer-driven international market."

 

 Right up The Pact's alley!

 

The program for the first day is really interesting and will most probably give a lot of inspiration and thoughts from smart people regarding open source and possible business solutions. 

The second day hosts a pitching contest, The Pixel Pitch. There we should see how other intelligent projects have been set up, and we might rip off (be inspired by) some ideas, true to the Open Source-spirit! :) I'll be alert with pen, pad and camera!


Oh, I haven't written anything about what happened at Haugesund. I'm sorry about that. But it was good. I met more Canadians than I thought, and some of them might be helpful further on. Will get back to that when I pick up those thoughts again.

 

 

 

no time but...fun

Hey everyone, right now we are busy redesigning our site, but unfortunately it coincides with a lot of work on other fronts, other projects that need attention. In my slightly chaotic life right now I can't really find the time to make a substantial blog post. I like it but I'm slow at writing for the blog. Next week I'll have more time for you, my favorite project, I promise. I have two more small clips lined up with interviews of schizophrenics, further demonstrating the thin line between psychosis and (belief to be) possession. 

Meantime just had to drop in to give you the latest and coolest in Crowdmarketing -

Update on Demonic Rules

Work on the demonic rulebook is coming along nicely. One thing I think we need to decide is whether there is a Hell or not, I mean I love talk about the Beast and Satan and such but also unspecified evil like in Stephen Kings books. What do y'all think of the existing hierarchies ? such as  this or this?

 

Bigge suggested a motivation of the Demon, why it wants to cross over to our world. It's a good point, it must be clear what will happen if the demon succeeds or not. Good point Henning to mix it all up with free will haha. It'll be messy but exciting. Maybe even more rewarding for the demon to overtake a person with a strong mind of his own. (of course I think you're crazy, that's why we're here, sane people watches telly or something)

To sum it up so far:
We need a timeconstraint, starconstellations etc, otherwise the demon can try everyday and that'd be boring.
What does the demon want and what effects will it have for us humans? (started thinking about possession just as a foothold, without it the demon can't  use powers in our world, which brings us back to the question what does it want and what powers does it have)

Mrs Liden suggested a BBC-series "Strange" which sounded really interesting. Anyone know where to get a hold of it?

 

Thanks for comments, happy to have you all here. Don't forget to tell us what you'd like to see on the site, what works and not. A facelift is underway and your suggestion appreciated.

Love H

 

Disclaimer, not....?

This is superhard for me. I just put out the remaining sequences. our new take is to lay down the whole structure and then insert scene after scene, basically on a daily basis. But that means that the plot is not worked through and looks silly but it's just a skeleton. Just watch me flesh it out in the coming weeks. Bare with me, I promise there are kickass scenes just around the corner. Big kiss Henk

instead of videoblog

What the F?

What the hell is wrong with youtube??? Nothing wrong with the file, exact same setting as the first videoblog.... I don't know just a f-ing mystery. I'll maybe try and reload it on the tube otherwise I'll just skip it and move on to next weeks vb. Sorry. 

Finally 2nd vidblog

I haven't had this much synch-problems since I worked as sound-editor on 35 mm. Here it is. 

 

Viddybloggy 2

 

Just touching on some of the questions that we've got so far, especially what powers the Demons should have which makes our first crowd-task. Also mentioning me and Anders' visit with Hyper Island and their oddly synchronized speech patterns.

Annoyed that Youtube  could upload for an hour and a half and still not succeed in grabbing the video.  Guess that point went to Facebook. AND JUST AS I WRITE THIS I NOTICE THAT THE VIDEO IS OUT OF SYNC, A WHOLE TWO SECONDS OUT OF SYNC. WHAT KIND OF LAME ASS ENCODERS DO THEY USE OVER THERE?  aaah... sorry, I had to remove it, I'll try again tomorrow. Wonder what's the matter. I assure you I used the exact same settings as last time. Besides I'm a duoble, triple and quadruple-checking kind of guy, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the original. Now it's getting late ( Swedish time), and my nson just woke up in  nightmare so I guess I'll have to call it a night. A pity he's only ten months old otherwise I could ask him to describe his nightmare to me:)

Talk to you tomorrow, Tired and grumpy H
