Machinima How To's

Since I haven't posted in a while, I've decided to make it up to you all by writing some extensive How To's. Because of my eleven plus years in the film biz, I get asked a lot of producing and technical camera questions (Gaming Hacks, Camera Hack #66, pg 254-256) but I think I'll focus on various producing/production management How To's.

I'm going to start with "How to Break Down a Script," with an emphasis on the major differences between script breakdowns for live action vs machinima filmmaking. I'll have it up soon, along with sample breakdown sheets, in the mean time let me know if there are any other How To's you'd like me to work on.

Off the Cob

I sent in an mp3 question to PC Gamer Magazine's podcast re: why Tribes 1 & 2 don't seem to get their due for being innovative games. Check it out PCGP Episode 30. My question is near the end, but listen to the whole podcast if you don't already subscribe to it, it's a great podcast which I highly recommend.
