  Went to a Zack Snyder Q&A

  My gf got me into a Q&A session with the "sucker" of Sucker Punch himself, Zack Snyder. Got a pic on my facebook too. He came off as the kind of guy you'd imagine he'd be: awkward, gushing nerd, mildly modest. My question to him was the old naive "What have you learned to do when going into a studio meeting" as how he got into the business is nothing like me (or what I can ever afford). He gave a pretty standard answer but was detailed. He said that clear and concise discussion and confidence in yourself are your best friends in a spot like that. To make others feel easy giving you their money. I should mention he was very brief in an answer about directing actors (you know, the people on screen!) saying that working with good actors-like Michael Shannon-is awesome (duh) and to avoid wearing out the dialogue in rehearsals (again, duh).

  The Q&A was broken up only by showing of his current demo reel which of course is leaps and bounds beyond mine and my friends. Overall pretty cool, but not exactly someone that's gonna teach you much (deliberately anyways, I came to some conclusions on my own about his methods/career) and, NO, he didn't show any Man of Steel footage.

  New (video) shorts!

  Lately I've been acting in or at least assisting with a series of short films with members of the Media Entertainment Guild at my school. Over the summer I'll be posting them here, but of course you can see all of them on the channel, Walking Eye TV.
  
  This one's about a store stalker. Get it?

  Why Kinect this fall?

  I am. Thinking of buying a Kinect this fall. Why?

  This year's E3 left me hurting for ANY kind of creativity. So many games ending in the numbers 2 and 3...sigh. Am I supposed to get excited over Halo 4? Of course there's going to be a Halo 4! Duh! If you haven't guessed (or didn't already know) I'm a Xbox 360 gamer almost exclusively. Yes I'll get a PS3 someday. And maybe a Wii. But man. Oh man! Was I ever starved for 360 games this year.

  So. Reluctantly, I turned worn iron sights towards Kinect.......and saw this.

  

  Yes. Please. Save for Dead Island, there are few original games coming this game and fewer still that can be called "horror" in any capacity. Here's my number one pick for Kinect right now. Watch the crazy bloody demo.

  

  We've already seen garbage fighting games for the peripheral, but this one looks quality. I love the implementation of the Avatar (something I'd expect to see more of Sony's Home). High energy and colorful. God I miss color in games...

  

  Suda 51's next game! And it's coming this year! See? That's what the trailers say! I don't care what "kind" of game it really is, because we all know with his name attached it'll be the strangest yet unique game available on Kinect!
