Merry X-Mas!

Hey ho all readers out there! Today, or like.. Yestureday kinda, it was christmas! I just wanted to make a quick post to update you guys about some things. First of all, there is a new contest that I might join at WoW-Europe. I know i've already got an Alienware laptop but I wouldn't say no to a stationary one also xD. Nhaa, but it's also for the honor and to get noticed, I guess it would also be great to be able to mention winning a few contests if I would ever look for a job related to movies in any way in the future. Also, it's not even sure i'll win because I know alot of awesome machinima makers will join the contest already but as I said, I might give it a try.

I recently got my holiday so finally i'll have some time to make machinima! Hopefully I can get something done soon, but yet again I won't promise ANYTHING, because you know i'm bad when it comes to promises. Also, I just found a picture of when I won my first prize which was a wegame t-shirt and some wegame stickers. Now, I haven't seen that t-shirt in almost a year and I wonder where the hell it might be? It was like, one of my favorite t-shirts but it's all gone :(.

R.I.P. WeGame T-Shirt

Two times in a row!

Hello everyone! Here I am with yet another exciting blog post!

This thursday me and Isak were invited to Stockholm (the Swedish capital city), because of being finalists in the Vattenfilm Tävling 2009 (Waterfilm Contest 2009). We also invited out good friend Gabriel to join us. We had the opportunity to watch our movie at this huge cinema screen which was amazing. We were also watching all the other finalist movies ofcourse and they were all really awesome. After watching all the movies it was time for the big moment... Yes, it was time to show the lucky winners. After watching the honorable mention winning video, third place video and also second place. We all sat in eager expectation of if we would win, or not. Before the contest I thought I had a chance to win but when we sat there it all felt som unreal and we didn't expect to win at all. But when they said: "Och det vinnande bidraget är..... Ta chansen! Av Adrian Drott och Isak Johansson!" (Yeah, that kinda means that they said our video won). We got pretty god deamn happy since 30 000kr is alot of money (1$ = 7kr). Another thing that was quite cool was that we had the opportunity to meet Musse Hasselvall who is kinda a Swedish celebrtiy. The reason why was because he was the host of the event. So right now i'm quite happy, probably the best x-mas present this year! :D

Long time no update

Guess who's back with a new post?! :D

Greetings ladies and gents! I know I haven't updated my blog in a very, very long time. But I got a good excuse this time (like always *cough*). I've had alot going on in school and such (like always *cough*). But now I finally feel like posting another update!

Now to what's going on... Aaaaand what's not going on.. First of all, let's talk about the projects i've been "working on" for some time now, yeah FI5VE. I must admit that I haven't been working on FI5VE at all since I got my laptop.. Now, I don't blame my laptop since I wouldn't work on FI5VE even if I wouldn't win it. I more like, blame real life, homework and different contests.. Also new games ofcourse. Anyway, I will try to continue working on FI5VE as soon as possible, but i'm afriad it might still take some time. I know I promised alot of different release dates for it a LOONG time ago, but i'm very sorry for that and I will never promise a release date again.

Also, I got to make a music video for Fatty since she won the WoW Idol contest. I know this is something I should have done a long time ago, but I blame the same things that I blamed earlier (Sorry Fatty, I promise to make it up to you. I feel really bad for taking so long :/). Not only Fatty do I have to make a music video for but I promised Jesse one also since he made voices for A Day in the Life, so instead of money, he wanted a music video. I don't know when i'll get time to work on this project though.

Here is a list of things to do!

• Finish the first episode of FI5VE
• Make a music video for Fatty
• Make a music video for Jesse
• Finish my hardcore hero music video
• Make an Allods machinima
• Make a last episode of my horrible pokémon parodies since alot of people has been asking for it.
  

Now let's leave the old stuff behind for a second and let's mention the news aka the things that made me put my old projects on hold. First of all, I forgot to post about my Alienware Laptop that I got the day after my birthday which was awesome! To be honest, the computer is not that special. Sure it has an awesome design and it runs games and such like no other laptop that i've seen. But it's heavy for being a laptop and also big for being a laptop. Sure the design is awesome and that's kinda what makes it so special.

I know you waaaant it!

Also, i've got some other great news! I was recently invited to the beta of a new MMORPG game named Allods Online because of being a machinima artist. The game is awesome for being both free and in beta phase. Sure it got som glitches but it's still a great game. Maybe not as good as wow, but for being free and beta I don't know if WoW will be worth playing when Allods comes to its real release. The only thing that I see ruining Allods is the item shop. You can buy items, gold and xp potions for real money. Else the game is awesome so I really think you should give it a try when it comes out or even get your hands on a beta key if you are eager to try it out early.

Looks interesting dosn't it?

If you are already playing or get your hands on a beta key you could add Zinky on the League side

Except from getting a new computer, getting invited to a new mmorpg game and doing alot of other random things, i'm actually in the final of yet another contest (I know you must hate me for caring more about contests then working on FI5VE). Well, this time it's a Swedish contest about water. Not a machinima contests though, but a film making contest using any kind of technique that you'd like. I myself chose to make a animated movie. Not a 3D one though, but a drawn one that I made using Photoshop and After Effects. This was the first time I tried this technique out but it turned out pretty nice. Aaand, if you wonder what the price is, it's 30000kr which in dollars is 4285$, so yeah, ofcourse I hope we'll win. Anyhow, as I said it's a Swedish contest so ofcourse I made my film in Swedish still you might be able to enjoy it if you come from another country. Anyway, here it is: Ta Chansen (NOTE: There are no sound effects since those had to be removed because of different copyright laws.)

Well, I guess that's all from me. I'll try to update the blog more often from now on.
