Hello,
How is everyone? Um... Sorry for the lack of updates I've been really busy with college & other projects. So anyway many of you (None of you because no one reads this blog) have been asking;
"what going on you keep promising to post new Flash animations & other projects soon on You Tube, etc..."
Yes I keep saying that I'll post some stuff but recently I've been busy with projects & jobs that eat up to much of my time. I've had so much to do recently I've had a job being an Assistant Director for a small independent project, I got a job at Bladdud, which side note if you live in Bath area go & check the site out, & on top of that I had college & New Mad Cowpictures work to do. So I just haven't had the time to do any of the things that I promised, also I was going to upload them tomorrow but I've got a production meeting at 10:00am that lasts all day.
OK as I said above I got a job at a site called Bladdud, I've have no idea when the site goes live but I'll post it on here when I know. Bladdud is a site dedicated to showing off Bath's local restaurants, bars, plays, & other forms of entertainment. I got a job reviewing local plays & films, awesome! Anyway as I send before go & check it out when the sites up which I think might be this Friday?! I don't know maybe that's when the site is open to staff, as I said I don't know.
Anyway on to NMCP news. Purple & Annoying, I don't think I'm going to continue on with the series as it is. I've been think about just making one last episode that would finish the series off, I started writing the script for a feature length special about a month ago & the script got lost under all the other junk I'm working on. I'll try & get back & work on the script but if you don't see or hear anything this summer about it, I wouldn't hold your breath for another installment of Purple & Annoying.
This goes for most things, Wasteland, I started to rewrite that but then I got pulled into the Assistant job so I had to put the show on hold until I finished the job. Now I've finished I have no feeling for it, this also goes the same for other project I was working on. To be frank (can I still be me, ha) I've lost a lot of feeling for Machinima as a whole, while its a good starting place I feel that I'm limited to what the game can do... I want to move onto more film & television projects then sitting at home in front of a TV recording basically gameplay & making a story out of it. While as I said is a great place to start out its not what I want to do.
So in short expect to see more live-action & animation projects, then Machinima project from me. Anyway I'm super tried I'm going to play Red Dead Redemption for a hour then go to bed. Anyway thank you for sticking with me.
Thank you,
Simon.

News: Lots of projects done.
Hi,
Right lets get started. Purple & Annoying has been delay because I want to try some new techniques but more importantly I want to try & make an anaemic just to see how much they make my job essayer or harder. For the last few weeks I've been ask to help with other project & other event that I've been to preoccupied to start, so I'm sorry for that, anyway I hope to start next week because I have to film an interview this week so I'll be occupied with that to start Purple & Annoying.
The "A Super Awesome Animation Fairy Tale Thing," which I can finally talk about, has been finished for about a week but I haven't had time to export it online but I hope to do that tomorrow sometime. If your wondering what the "A Super Awesome Animation Fairy Tale Thing" is, well wonder no more, this is a college project where we had to create a fractured fairy tale in flash.
A fractured fairy tale is where you take a normal fairy tale & flip it on its head. Changing whatever you want the characters, setting & only keeping the basic story elements the same. We choose to take the classic Three Little Pigs & flip it on its head. We change the wolf's role in the story to the main protagonist & his motives. I'll try to put it up online so you can judge it for yourselves.
I've also been working with Jake Davis working on, his brain child, "No Time Like The Future" which is an awesome... I don't know what to categorise it as. Anyway this an awesome peace of writing by Jake & it will be on Elder Jack's You Tube page soon.
I'm currently working on a lot of scripts & stories that I would love to make into full project but there still in development, so I won't talk about them until they are physical projects.
Some of you might of notice that the F.A.Q has had a bit of a do over, I've clean out some questions, & rephrased some of them. I'm also writing some walkthroughs of different Machinima platfroms & equitment so you know what will work for you. Anyway sorry for the lack of updates but... Halo Reach!
Anyway, Thank you,
Simon.

Video: What Happened the Night Before?
Hi,
Right lots of news & updates or whatever you call them. First, my latest college project "What Happened the Night Before?" Is up on You Tube for a while now I just forgot to post it on the site. At first I wasn't going to upload is because Overall I'm disappointed with the project, half the film has a problem with sound, there is some bad cuts between shots & I don't like how I handled the opening scene.
Also for some reason the uploaded version has cut the opening credits off. The only reason I uploaded this project because they showed everyone in our year films to our department & I sat at the back of one of the showings shitting myself thinking that they're going to hate it & to my surprise they actually like the film & not just in the showing I was in. The link is below.
What Happen the Night Before (You Tube)
Right on to other news, there will be two Purple & Annoying episodes around the Easter Break, then the last two the two half-terms after that, so yeah awesome. The reasons for working on episodes while I'm away from college is because I have way way to much work to do so I'll rather focus on my college work then Purple & Annoying.
Hopefully in the next two weeks there will be an animation coming out, I can't say much about it now apart from its base on a fractured fairy tale. There also an other animation that I might upload but don't hold your breath. Anyway I think that is all that I had on my mind... Anyway if theres more infomation I will update this post. Anyway.
Thank you,
Simon.

News: Can I come in...
Hi,
Are you still mad at me? Yes... Fantastic. Anyway there won't be any "Purple & Annoying" for a while because I want to be able to edit all of them in my own time so they will be release whenever. At the weekend we started to film "The Super Awesome Live-Action Show" although me & Jake don't think we will used the footage because of stupid mistakes but we will (I will) edit the footage together & show you a teaser or something. Anyway that is all the news... So... Bioshock 2 is out tomorrow... I can't wait.
Thank you,
Simon.

News: This is going to take along time.
Hi,
So I've got some big news about New Mad Cowpictures, & this is going to take along time to write. Anyway lets start with the bad news. First off I'm stopping Purple & Annoying, I've been wanting to cancel this project for along time.
The main reason for its cancellation is that characters didn't come out like I plan & the characters are so fucking shallow, Guy isn't annoying just a normal guy there is nothing annoying about him apart from his voice but I can live with that. If throughout the series I had to name one annoying character it would have to be Tim, his character such a fucking shallow mono tone asshole but this is all my fault with my super low below par voice acting.
Another reason is the scripts & episode are so bad. The narrative for each episode is so unoriginal, anyway I'm not going into a fucking rant. Purple & Annoying isn't going to end just like that, there is still four episodes left, I'm going to sit down & write four Clans & Mythic standard episodes. Also this isn't something that I just though one day I've been planing this since the end of Season One to start of Season Two.
I'm also after Purple & Annoying finishes I'm going to move to a new You Tube channel where I will have a clean slate & post all the new stuff for 2010. I'm also going to look at what series to carry on & watch ones to drop, you can probably bet what ones I'm going to drop.
OK, good news there are some college projects coming out soon & I'm going to start filming the"The Super Awesome Live-Action Show" soon, I also have one or two development dairies to release for the "The Super Awesome Live-Action Show". So there is a lot to look forward to & a lot of shit happens, anyway O well.
Thank you,
Simon.
P.S: This didn't take as long to write as I throught.

News: Alots of it... I think I've used this title before?!
Hi,
Well thanks to Dan we now have an awesome logo. Dan last night sent me some pictures of Larry (The Cow) with a body which look awesome. Some of you are now quickly moving to your E-mails to send me a message saying;
"Since when has the cow been called Larry?"
Since... If today is Sunday... an hour ago. Anyway.
I'm working on "Purple & Annoying Episode Fifteen: Fanboys" which is coming along nicely. I'm also working on a new production logo, I've made several version now & I'm still not quite please with the version I've made I'll have it done by Thursday...
Wait Assassins Creed DLC is out then... FUCK... O'well... Anyway some of my college project have been a pain in the ass to get up onto You Tube & some have copyrighted music that I wouldn't risk uploading. The Super Awesome Magic Tea full video was deleted from my hard drive at college & the copy I have is missing some of the export code (which means when I upload it onto You Tube it will be just the sound).
Cinema Undisputed News Talk has some copyrighted music that I wouldn't risk uploading onto my channel after some of my friends like Felicia had there channels & videos pulled, but if someone in my class uploads it onto there You Tube I will glad to link it to this site.
Some people have E-mail me about the "Super Awesome Live-Action Show". Most of you want to know WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! well I don't know how I can put this... its a Super Awesome... Live... Action... Um... Show, yes that is the word I'm looking for...
Well the Super Awesome Live-Action Show is a project that me & a few friends have been kicking around since this time last year. So far we have had one meeting about the show, some ideas where getting lock down & some scripts where getting ironed out. I'll bring a camera to the next meeting, I think its on the Tuesday. I think where bring scripts along, I'm not quite shore what where doing this week but I'll make some sort of developers dairy. Also this IS what will most likely delay Wasteland because unlike Machinima the Super Awesome Live-Action Show will take two months... TWO MONTHS... 2 MONTHS to film one episode. Anyway that it for now I'll add some of the questions to F.A.Q in a while... Bye.
Thank you,
Simon.

News: NEW New Mad Cowpictures logo!!!
Hi,
Thanks to a super awesome friend of mine, Daniel Zinkant, we now have a new logo. One that is copyright free & I don't have to sit at home waiting for a E-mail about the logo I am using saying some crap about copyright. No, I'm just paranoid the last logo was a free clip art thing. Anyway here it is the new awesome logo.
I'll try & get a website for Dan or something that you can go & checkout, I think I might have to rename New Mad Cowpictures to Super Pissed-off Cow productions... No... OK, I'll keep New Mad Cowpictures. Anyway thank you Dan for this awesome logo.
Thank you,

News: I'm back for 2010...
Hi,
I've finally eased back into college. Although its been snowing for the last two fucking weeks. Anyway I'm back, I'll start working on Purple & Annoying again soon. I haven't decided which episode I should do next but it looks like it will be "Screenshots" because I don't have enough controllers to make "Defenders" which is what I want to do but O'well.
Well then... I also caved into Sony & got a PS3 Slim with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves so after I finish this series of Purple & Annoying before I move on Wasteland I'm going to work on experimenting on different Machinima styles.
Something might come up that will delay Wasteland but the delay will still kick ass, I'll still try to put some effort into make Wasteland but if it gets to much I will delay Wasteland. Anyway that is the news... hope you've had an awesome Holiday & that fucked up New Year.
Thank you,
Simon.
