| Yay, more fun! I flew down to San Francisco to finally meet Jason Thompson and connect with Cyoaka as well. All three us us, plus some other folks, lit down at a neat little cafe. Check out the picture sequence from that adventure! |
Want to see part of the Animation Sequence? This is how we figure out what goes where. |
| Image 22 (45 K) As sun sets on the Portland's Historical Hollywood Theater, the creepy-weepies come out to play and The 2002 H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival begins! |
Image 11 (31 K) More Zoogs! Yay Zoogs! Few people understand just how important tribe is to Zoogs. They always pile up into mounds like this. |
| Image 20 (27 K) Worship the Zoogs! We gave away these zoog-shaped cookies at the H. P. Lovecraft FIlm Festival. People were so hesitant! Perhaps it was because they were so damn cute... |
Image 19 (14 K) Christian Matzke, filmmaker of such Lovecraftian gems as "Nyarlathotep" and "An Imperfect Solution" (left) with some damn lunatic who thinks he's directing a feature length animated movie without losing all his hair. Jeez -- I look like a Klingon! |
| Image 18 (18 K) Edward encouraging Andrew Migliore to correctly pronounce "Nyarlathotep". It was a lesson for us all. |
Image 17 (18 K) Edward Martin III, that damn director, comparing script with art. "He doesn't look like he's saying that!" Also included is Felix the Cat, who seems to be the project's mascot. |
| Image 16 (16 K) Michael Pearce, one of our most talented voices, including Richard Pickman. |
Image 15 (10 K) Enrika Newbury, recording a number of voices including the Chief Cat of Celephais. She was only happy with this picture because it didn't show her face. |
| Image 14 (17 K) Leopoldo Marino, our stern voice of the Inganok Captain. He's not stern at this exact moment, but trust me, he's a stern fellow. |
Image 13 (10 K) Katrina, our stern Producer, Clockwatcher, Scheduler of Mighty Things, and Holder of Purse Strings. She subscribes to the Vision, but on her terms. We're cool with that. |
| Image 12 (13 K) Kate, the Voice and Will of the Outer Gods. We kept joking with her about wearing a t-shirt that reads "Screw you -- I'm the Crawling Chaos!" And yes, we ought to be using a script stand. Where were my brains this evening... |
Image 11 (11 K) Lev, our Sound Engineer. He tolerates some of the worst jokes I can think up. He also moves with an eerie silence, which is a good thing, if a bit unnerving. |
| Image 10 (14 K) Here's the audition studio. Note my "Hi-Kwality" mic stand. |
Image 9 (11 K) A closeup of our shoelace shockmount for the microphone. |
| Image 8 (69 K) A beautiful full-color study of The Crawling Chaos. No matter what you think, I'm not entirely sure you're ready to see this... |
Image 7 (17 K) An Evil half-human Merchant. Note that he's not half evil. |
| Image 6 (26 K) A study of Pickman's head. Halfway there, or halfway gone? |
Image 5 (21 K) An Evil Merchant. But then, aren't they all? |
| Image 4 (45 K) A colorful Evil Merchant |
Image 3 (24 K) Pickman body design |
| Image 2 (15 K) Body design for half-human half-merchant |
Image 1 (21 K) Head study Nyarlathotep. You've been warned. |
