New Promotional Video:
I just finished a promotional video for comedian and ventriloquist John Pizzi. I had a blast creating this since I decided to go back to modo and create a full "miniature Times Square" for this video. We chose that due to his New York background.

As most of you know, we just released our first iPhone App. You probably also know we love our Macs (from Angie's 27 inch iMac Quad Core to my 17inch Macbook Pro). But this push by Apple into the mobile market has been remarkable and our iPhone App is the tip of the iceberg.
We want to be ready when Apple announces... the rumored Tablet (iSlate?) in a few weeks. This article by Gruber is the MOST accurate and most forward thinking article I have read to date. He nails it. This is really worth a read!

Another former Apple executive who was there at the time said the tablets kept getting shelved at Apple because Mr. Jobs, whose incisive critiques are often memorable, asked, in essence, what they were good for besides surfing the Web in the bathroom.

Digital Blacksmiths Great news... for those following our iPhone app development process, we've just gotten an email from Apple that our first iPhone app has been approved and is available for free on the iTunes App Store!

Digital Blacksmiths We're developing iPhone apps now! Woohoo! Our first app (Angie's Digital Caricatures App) is in Beta testing and will be submitted to Apple this week!

Digital Blacksmiths Angie and I had a great time at the International Caricature Convention this past week. So many great artists from around the world! Also, a huge thank you to everyone who voted for Angie for the Outstanding Digital Technique Award. With over 230 artists attending, she didn't expect to win an award, so this was a great surprise and honor. Thank you!

Digital Blacksmiths The October newsletter went out last week, but with the upcoming ISCA convention this week in Ohio, we might have a 'special edition' podcast of some sort covering the activities.

Digital Blacksmiths Happy Tuesday! I'm writing the finishing touches on this month's newsletter; it's a biggie with some cool surprises! In the meantime, if you want to read last month's issue, you can do so at this link:

I have always loved creating things. Some folks show me work they have created from years gone by and I sense the great pride they feel from the work and that's great. But I have a driving energy to keep looking to the future and continue to creating new things. ...

Digital Blacksmiths Recently someone asked about how to do timelapse screencasts like we've posted before. One Digital solution: iShowU then time ramped in something like After Effects and One Analogue Solution: http://boinx.com/istopmotion/overview/ for recording real media like painting on canvas. I'm writing a tutorial to post on t...he site for each to be published shortly.
