Teaching Preproduction Techniques this Sunday

As you probably know already, this weekend is the annual Machinima Film Festival which we've expanded to two days. This allows us to do something we've wanted to do for a while and that's have more detailed "how to" sessions and panels.

On Sunday, as part of the Machinima Production Series , I'll be giving one of those seminars where I'll discuss pre-production filmmaking techniques for machinimists, focusing on how to breakdown a script into production notes. I'll be followed by Rod Maher from Beepa. Yep, they're here all the way from Australia to show off the newest version of everyone's favorite capture program Fraps.

If you're not able to attend the fest (or you do but you take terrible notes) not to worry I'll post a text article of my talk along with downloadable copies of Script Breakdown forms for machinimists.
