Long time no update... I felt like writing down my feelings a bit because I am sitting alone in almost empty Demola. I must admit I do miss the InnoSummer folks and their zany and wacky shenanigans.

I have been feeling a bit down lately-- wait, wrong blog! whoops

We decided to take an artistic approach on our latest video... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1359305/Dali.wmv

(Whoops!)

Uh, now where were we...

My goal for last week was to get all the filming for stepchinima done by friday. I was finished by wednesday. Efficient! We encountered no major problems with The Sims 3, but we had to use some creative camera angles and shots in order to achieve the results we wanted.

New week starts with an update. Friday was "such an amazingly productive day" that I simply did not have time to write a blog post. Seems like it is becoming a habit.

Oh man, I keep forgetting to write this blog on a regular basis, I must have become demented.

Haha, just kidding! We are just so busy with project that we totally do not have the time to keep you guys updated with the progress!!

I am starting to sense a pattern here...

Uh oh, another two weeks have passed without a blog post! Well, that is obviously because we have been working HARD on the actual videos. All work and no fun makes the machinima team rich. And famous. Eventually. Honest.

Uh oh, there has not been a blog post from us in a couple of weeks! Does this mean that we are losing the touch...?

Definitely not! The project is progressing at such speed that we have to constantly hold on to our hats so as not to lose them. Even though we do not even wear hats.

Anyway.

Hey hey hey, guess who are back!

Phew.

Three and a half months has passed, summer has turned into autumn and Innosummer 2009 is about to be over. Due to all kinds of small obstacles during the months a lot of the work piled up on the last two weeks. Back when we planned the schedule I was quite confident that we would not have to crunch.

Boy how wrong I was.
