Ephemera 2009 (10) - Make

-- from Bill Cunningham, an article about shooting a movie on the Sony EX-1. We use that camera all the time, and I have seen some pretty damn stunning stuff done with it.

-- My former writer's assistant, Megan J, is creating her own web content about superheroes with substance abuse issues. My God, I enjoyed typing that. Go here for The Sanctum.

-- The SyFy trailer looks like the bastard spawn of the CW sodomizing Neil Gaiman.

-- Lee Goldberg's blogging about releasing his work on the Kindle. Although fair and thorough, I think that there's a flaw in his analysis, but we'll discuss that in the upcoming Kindle post.

-- novelist Michael Stackpole writes about digital distribution, and how it'll re-invigorate the short fiction market. Personally I like how 2,500 words fits the "chapter a post" paradigm.

-- friend of blog Michael Patrick Sullivan has a play opening this weekend. Supervillainy abounds.

-- I really have no idea why EA hasn't tweaked Sims 3 to work with a free camera mode and basic path movement.

-- Paul Duffield takes you through the art process on Warren Ellis' Freakangels. I particularly like the note about using 3D Max (I imagine Poser would work just as well) to get perspective dead on in certain situations.

-- Lacking Poser, Daz 3D is impressive as hell and works on a freemium model.

-- That's all for now. Go out and make something.
