Spriggs: Episode 1
Working at the Library of Congress has been satisfying work in terms of finances, but when it comes to creativity, it's left me a bit unhappy. So in early October when my friend Mike comes to me and says he wants to make a Machinima using Halo 3, I had to jump at the opportunity. It took us close to five weeks to complete our first episode of "Spriggs", and that included a number of technical hurdles, as well as some casting and crew development. I've been doing a broad spectrum of duties that evolved from "Director of Cinematography" to "Art Director" to "Assistant Director". In the end I did a little bit of everything short of writing. I puppeted characters, I composed shots, I edited, I've done some voice work and voice direction, and I've been working on the site. It's been keeping me busy, and I like how the project has been developing. And more importantly, it's been a lot of fun. It won't make an outstanding portfolio piece, but I feel like it's been offering me a number of creative opportunities. And at this point in my life, I really need that, so I've been glad to have the opportunity to help create something like this.Labels: Machinima
