This show was even better than the first one, Overman. You are really getting the rhythm of music, talk, clips, etc., down very well. Listening to the music alone is worth the price of admission. It’s such a pleasure to hear an intelligent, enthusiastic person just go down the list of what’s going on and what’s interesting in machinima. Invaluable to me. I downloaded the shows I hadn’t seen while you were talking, checked out some tangential items and laughed at your very funny phone message.
Your coverage of promotion is very welcome. I think many of us who focus on the artistic end just simply forget this aspect of it until it’s too late. In a sense, isn’t this why the role of producer was created? (alright, don’t jump on me…it’s partially a joke). Very kind of you to read my email. Thank you.
I’ll let you know what I think about the MLive thing via private email. Not because I feel I can’t discuss it publicly, but because it’s easier that way.
Great work, Overman!
