  • SackBoy reaches page one on Google!

    Possibly one of the more randomly proud moments of my little project’s life is the knowledge that in under a year I’ve hit the first page of Google for the search term “sackboy”.

    With just under 500 images in the photography project (seriously, 500th image anniversary coming up in June!), I’ve hit well over the original target of “an image a day for the next year”. It hasn’t even been a year yet. It’ll be a year in August sometime.

    And now, the random news that I place fourth on a Google search for “sackboy”.

    The ridiculous thing? I’m even above Media Molecule’s entry on that page, and they made the bloody game!

    Apologies to Media Molecule if they’re at all offended by this. I run this project to spread smiles and laughter since SackBoy seems to make people smile. :)

  • Pirates vs. Ninjas

    Ok, so I have an idea. A basic idea, a simple idea, but for all intents & purposes an idea.

    It’s an idea my brother doesn’t like but Ross and I have gone to work on it regardless. And here it is…

    A pre-pilot with a very quick script playing off of the old “Ninjas versus Pirates” geek argument mixing with a fake news network.

    That’s the simple bit. There’s a bit more complexity to it as we’ve scripted more bits & pieces for this concept, but the overall idea is to have a fake news network with comedic bits.

    No, this isn’t like The Onion or The Chaser. We don’t purport to be funny… we sort of just hope we are.

    If we hit, we hit. If we miss, we hope to land on something soft & plush so as not to hurt our backs. We like our backs.

    In any case, here’s the simple pre-pilot video done with audio recorded over Skype and in person, as well as the gallery of storyboards below in case you like some of the cute little pictures that I edited into this video.
