I got cartoon'd this month by someone attending the Guaranteed* Video Extravaganza. Just scanned this in last night for safe-keeping. I guess this means I can rock my beard in the next New Kids on the Rock.

We've talked about it but none of us are what you'd call traditional animators. I've done extensive roto and Neil did bare-bones 3D animation in Computer Fighters. The work required to do a legit animated short would be hefty for us.

Have you had a chance to play with Mindshow?

Not yet. My VR intake has slowed down a bit. The Inpatient is next on my list.

I think you’ll like it, it’s honestly a 2 hour movie, very little gameplay, but solid cinematics! You guys need to check out some of the creative stuff on the PC side, really cool things happening!

Using the headset's mic for conversations is crazy sounding to me, I can't wait to try it. I need to work on building a top-tier PC before diving into that world of VR, but it needs to happen in the next year or so.

It’s a bit kitschy, but excites me for what’s to come! You won’t regret it for a second, I could see you guys using some nice mixed reality content spliced in with the show! Side note, did you ever get to flatbed edit?

Yup. I shot a movie with my buddy @Sinclairissa in 2005 called "Two Fools For Ice Cream." We shot that on 8mm.

I had a feeling, your cuts are spot on man, I’m always jealous! What do you think about 360 vids? I know tech is still in its infancy, and you have to work around cuts, but could be a fun challenge!

It's pretty rad, but I think it's best suited for experiences and live-casting. Traditional storytelling needs more of a narrow lens, in my humble opinion, but I'm positive plenty of interesting experiments will come from 360 degree storytelling.
