Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I've been beyond busy. Keeping up with How2Machinima, school work, and this is tough. But fear now:

Super Villains 6 is a bit delayed, but coming in early June..

In other news, I'll be revamping the site for the Super Villains Birthday in the next few weeks because this layout stinks, since it happens on the 15th on this month.

News? Well, sort of. ASV 6 is on the way, now with an aimed date for the end of May. Horray!

In the meantime, check out my new series How2Machinima, a video tutorial series for all of you wondering how I do my craft. Enjoy!

Also, famous French Machinimator Olibith invited me to do a short for his “Never Stay Tuned” series. Be sure to check out the ASV related piece in his newest installment, Never Stay Tuned 3.

So, after Blizzard released their trailer for their newest patch, and pushed by some members of the Machinima community, I made this:

The REAL Fury of the Sunwell Patch Trailer

I’ve put a date on Episode 6, which will come around the one year Anniversary of ASV. I have a lot of other projects in the works, so you will have plenty of films to make you happy until then.

 

Oh, I wanted to link this from the fan community as well:

Random Mix

I love to see my own work inspire others. Keep up the great work and stay tuned.

Sorry everyone for a lack of updates. Here is the news:

As you may know, Stage6 shut down the other day, so half the links on the site died. Fear not, as they will be fixed momentarily and all the links have YouTube/HQ download links. Your Super Villains fix can still be had.

Also, I have a nice little project coming up that will tickle you wildest fantasy for the Super Villains.

Couple of things popped up on YouTube I would like to share:

Kael’thas’ Illidan Video

Tribute to the Villains

 

And most importantly, if you haven’t already seen, the audio commentary for Azerothian Super Villains 5 can be found below:

Azerothian Super Villains 5 Audio Commentary

Once again, hope to have things fixed within the next week. Been very busy is all.

You are probably asking yourself, IS IT THE 31st yet?

The answer is, No, it’s not. You have to wait a few more days.

 

Pinkhair, one of the 3D effects developer on this episode, posted something on his blog regarding his work on ASV 5: http://pinkhair3d.blogspot.com/

Also, 2 more teaser shots before Thursdays release:

Lots of people like the Super Villains. In fact, Olibith, a big European Machinima Artist likes us a lot to show us the “Super Villains Limited Edition Action Figurines.”
