But can you blame us? Just as we get in the swing of season 2, Bungie decides to release a game called Halo: Reach. Apparently its really fun and really popular and it's sucking up all our free time (enter sarcastic grin here). But also, we've been waiting on some audio from new cast members who don't live in Idaho with us. Things are coming along, and the next episode will be coming to an Internet near you. We are loving season 2, because we are getting to use more sets than just Blackout. Kind of got depressing just filming in this dark dark map for a while. Release date you ask? Well most of you know the answer to that: when its done, its done. <br /><br />On a different note not related to Forecast or Halo, in fact not even to video games. A local film company here in our area is working on making a film called "Saving Council". They have a great idea how to save America by saving Council. Council is a small city here in Idaho that has really been effected bad by the down turn of the economy. The way we can all help is by pledging money to donate to this project, help a struggling city and fund a movie at the same time- possibly get your name in the credits of the movie. Check out <a href="http://www.savingcouncil.com">SAVINGCOUNCIL.COM</a> for all the in depth details on this project. Plus, have a look at the video below.

What day you ask? That I don't know. I'd hate to give a firm date right now and then get eaten alive by the internet for not making the deadline. The internet is a scary place. Anyways, it's in full swing and I filmed some fun stuff last night. I'll post more updates as they come, maybe a picture or two to keep you hungry. <br /><br />PS- Whose excited for Forge World?

We can work on that, but after Season 2 premieres. I figure you guys would want a new episode faster than a new forum. If you got any ideas for the forum (i.e. topics and the like), send them my way. The new episode will rock (as will the rest of Season 2).

As it stands right now, I'd love to spend all my time looking over the forums but I'd rather (and I'm sure you would as well) spend my time producing new episodes for Season 2. So with that, I'm calling for experienced volunteers who been a moderator or have created a forum before. Comment or send me an email if interested- preferably with a link to something you have worked on. However, if we don't have a big response on the poll on whether or not to start up a new forum, we won't. Enjoy your Monday.<br /><br />PS - Got some awesome stuff done with Season 2 last night.

We used to have one, very few people even participated. Now the servers that the forum did run on has gone down and it looks like the forum is lost forever. If you guys are interested in a new forum (and I mean, it's got to be a big large amount of people wanting one), participate in the poll to the left.

I've been completely preoccupied with tons of projects on my plate that obviously don't revolve around Machinima. But, with in the next couple weeks, those projects should be wrapped and we'll get crankin' full steam on Season 2. You can expect to see another teaser for season 2 in this time also. Thanks for all of you sticking around (and begging) for the Second Season. We appreciate all your support, its the only reason we want to keep making Forecast. We'll be posting more soon to keep you updated with the production. Enjoy the weekend!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093545440237411687.post-52746092032300362432009-10-28T09:28:00.003-06:002010-06-04T17:57:59.304-06:00Brief UpdateAfter many emails and messages, I figured I owed you guys an update with whats going on in our lives and with Season 2. Trust me when I say, Season 2 will come out. Have no fear, we aren't going to end up like some machinimas out there that left you wanting more but have never continued the series. We are working (slowly) on Season 2, but the truth of the matter is: life happens. When life happens, other things have to be put on hold for the time being.<br /><br />Originally we were only taking a 6 month break from Forecast, during which time we'd write Season 2. We'll we did write Season 2 but since June my wife and I got married, we bought a house, and a whole bunch of other stuff has happened. You <u>will</u> see Season 2, we <u>won't</u> leave you all hanging. We thank you all for sticking with us through all of this. We've actually seen a rise in subscribers since Season 1 ended, which is exciting for us because more and more people are enjoying the series (which gets us itching to continue Season 2 production).<br /><br />Hang in there with us, and trust us...we want Season 2 to premiere just as bad as you guys.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093545440237411687.post-44151619521325377892009-09-18T09:19:00.003-06:002010-06-04T17:57:09.453-06:00Droppings to CommenceThe final countdown has began. In less than 85 hours (give or take a few depending on your time zone) people from all over the nation will be driving back to their homes with the biggest smile on their face and precious cargo buckled in the front seat. The same giddiness they felt on the release of its predecessors, will be revisited on this night (or early morning). We've all prepared and at Midnight on the 22nd we'll all finally be able to Drop.<br /><br />Halo 3: ODST will finally hit stores allowing Halo fans across the globe to suit up as a new character in the ever increasing cannon that is the Halo Universe. There are a ton of reviews from people all over the interwebs who got a small grocery store sample of what the ODST (and Fire Fight) experience will be like. Is it any surprise that everyone that has put their hands on this game (for probably no more than 15 minutes) has loved it? I am very excited.<br /><br />I, like many out there, am taking Tuesday off of work just so I can wait in line at my local Game Stop to pick up my preorder copy...and then proceed to play all day. My wife just chuckles at me with how pumped I am for this game and the fact I'm taking a day off just to play. But in the immortal words of Rhett Butler, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."<br /><br />So if you find your self in the wonderful world of "Live" next Tuesday, let play some Fire Fight or make our way through ODST campaign. For those of you in our Nampa area, come say hi to us at Game Stop and chat it up as we all wait for our chance to Drop. See you online.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093545440237411687.post-47345266506084133272009-09-15T16:12:00.003-06:002010-06-04T17:56:31.401-06:00Voice Contest UpdateAll of you who shared your interest in the Voice Contest will receive an email or You Tube Message from us this afternoon with the audition line. If you are interested in participating in the contest and did not get an email from us it is because either we didn't get your email or a link to your YouTube page to contact you...or you didn't tell us you'd like to participate to begin with. If you fall into one of these categories, email us with your email or YouTube page so we can message you. We'll update the community on the results of the contest once all entries have been sent in and we've listened to all of them. No one will be turned away if they wish to try out, all are welcome!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093545440237411687.post-10161132247399547152009-08-26T09:36:00.004-06:002010-07-01T17:59:42.349-06:00What's This? A Voice Contest?So as production for Season 2 slowly continues (I emphasize slow), I wanted to let you all know of a chance that your very own voice could be in an episode of Season 2. That's right, you could voice a small character in Forecast! I can't tell you what episode (yet) you'd be in or any details to what the line(s) would be right now.<br /><br />All we're looking for right now is to collect of list of names and contact info (either email, twitter, myspace or youtube accounts) of those interested. In the coming weeks I will then contact those interested with a line we'd like you to record and then send back to us for review. You can send back just an audio file, or make it a little more creative and post your audition on YouTube for all to judge. We will listen to (or watch) every sample sent to us and pick the best performance.<br /><br />Between now and when I contact those interested, feel free to send us either samples of voice work that you have done, machinima you have been part of (and telling us who you voiced), or pretty much anything else informing us of what would make you stand out over everyone else.<br /><br />So send us those emails, comments, a twitter message, or whatever to let us know you'd like to participate in the voice contest. There will be no age, gender or experience restrictions, we are just looking for the best performance to fit the character. More info will come in the coming weeks.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093545440237411687.post-51661156303412534562009-08-13T15:33:00.002-06:002010-07-01T18:00:02.144-06:00Forecast Question of the Day:What's Eugene's online screen name?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093545440237411687.post-36100244793851740302009-08-07T09:59:00.003-06:002010-07-02T08:05:16.240-06:00FeedbackGive us some feed back on your thoughts for the theme music from Season One.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093545440237411687.post-7120981412177636322009-08-01T00:05:00.007-06:002010-07-01T18:00:46.520-06:00A Change of SortsWell I've spent the better part of the last few hours rearranging the layout of the site.

As you know last month I got married and for the last month my wife and I have been spending every waking hour working on the new house we just bought. The last owners didn't keep the house in very good condition. The inside needed tons of cleaning and painting, and our yard looked very much like the yard on Malcom in the Middle (no joke). But I'm happy to say we are getting things well under control, but not all the way yet. And we finally have internet at our house too. So I'll be more active with the website, twitter, You Tube, or wherever else we are at on the web. And hopefully be jumping on Xbox Live for a little Halo 3. I'll be a little rusty, I haven't played since the beginning of June!</div><div><br /></div><div>However, alot of you have been asking me when Season 2 will begin.
