Grumpier Old Men in 2D

Another episode of Wolf's Grumpier Old Men shorts (with yours truly as the waitress). This one done in 2D using Reallusion's new Crazy Talk Animator Pro software. I love the old man walk Wolf concocted here!

Medieval Gibbett and Wall Torch

Warlord has done it again! One is for just hanging around and the other is to see who you are hanging with. Free props with the medieval flavor.

Plus there is a sale on the destructible Castle and Collapsing Buildings pack at The iR Store.

Countdown to Machinima Expo - 4 Days To Go!

I don't spend much time in Second Life, so I confess that yesterday I spent some time remembering how to change my outfit. Mission accomplished! (I won't tell you how long that took me)

I'm looking forward to the experience of watching movies in real-time with fellow expo-goers (is that a word?). I am also, of course, very excited about doing the Wolf & Dulci Hour live on Saturday. That is sure to be a unique experience!

Unfortunately, family commitments are pulling me away from the event on Sunday but I will certainly catch up on all the presentations as fast as I can. I find the varying software options open to us fascinating, and I know I will gather many nuggets of insight from the discussions on side design and script writing.

Are YOU going to be there?
