Daily Photo: A Close Inspection

Filed Under: Photography, Speculative Fiction

I am holding out on you. I admit it. The best images from the shoot are going to take some post work to bring up to the level for the Roundbottom storyline, and I think I won’t reveal them until they go live as part of a story. That way you folks will still have something exciting to see… There are some pretty damned good outtakes here though. Like this one. I don’t play with color much because of the Roundbottom sepia thing, but sometimes, I just have to make an image like this one, especially when Michelle has such great tattoos. When I have time, I’m going to write a postmortem of the shoot, examining it for ways that I can improve in the future.

Having always been a big fan of computer animation, I was excited at the early rumors of the film. Unfortunately, Disney execs got involved and the result was the talky-travesty that [...]

I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:

Having Tim Curry as a narrator is probably outside of the range of what we can afford as SF/F writers, but still. Let’s go over what makes this awesome:

I hear what you’re thinking, “You mean your dream magazine wasn’t the Fortean Bureau?” At the time, it was everything I could make it be with the constraints (financial, content, format) I worked under. And even though the magazine is on semi-permanent hiatus, I still follow the publishing side [...]
