Heroes Renatus - Official Teaser Poster Released.

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 27, 2011, 6:01 AM


For now, this Teaser Poster is all that will be released. I plan to film Volume One; Obscurity, in the Summer. Hopefully it will be ready for release in the Autumn, but it's all a matter of timing and whether the whole volume can be filmed in the Summer alone. All we can do is wait and see!

Just remember, Hope Never Dies.

Heroes Renatus - The Official Journal #2

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 20, 2011, 9:14 AM
Heroes Renatus has undergone a lot of changes since the first Journal, the story has changed quite a lot, but with its main purpose still intact.
Don't worry, I've made sure it's still awesome, and it really is.

3 series' have been written up, that's right, 3 series'. Originally only one was planned, but I decided it was best to have 3. The first series is full length, whilst the other two will sort of be mini-series'.

I've got all the equipment needed, bought a Canon 550D along with some fantastic lens, a camera stabiliser for film-quality footage. I've also got Photoshop and After Effects ready now for this.

Let's just hope I can get this done! I've got all the equipment, the story, now it's just a matter of finding locations, times, actors, etc.

Hopefully I can start filming the first series this summer, then later on the second series, then the third. The second and third, even though they are mini-series', they will be harder.

I might be setting up an official website for Heroes Renatus when the time comes, I'm hoping this can attract a lot of the Heroes fan-base, maybe even extra people.

My main goal for Heroes Renatus is to excite the fans of Heroes, to give it a great spin-off with lots of twists, lots of bits leaving the viewers thinking, I'm just hoping this will be worth it, and that it can get recognized!

As soon as I've started filming Heroes Renatus, I'll make the next blog where you can get some behind the scenes photos.

Thanks for reading!

So I've decided to start an official journal for my independent series of Heroes Renatus.

As some of you may know, I am creating a spin-off series for Heroes. You can read about this here: [link]

But however, the information on that page is old and redundant, as the story has been given a complete makeover, but still following the core plot.

Viewers will follow a lost person called Riley Stenson, who appears outside a refuge for people with abilities. This refuge camp is called Petrelli Manor. Refuge centres were set up all over the world to keep people with abilities safe, to have a home and have a good education. In the United Kingdom, our protagonist; Riley Stenson appears in a field with no memories of his life, not even a name. When he wakes up, he goes to the only building around, which is Petrelli Manor. Inside, he finds someone who may be able to help him. Norman Van Croft is one of the leaders inside this Manor, he believes that Riley is special and unique, even though Riley has no abilities yet. Norman gives Riley his name, and teaches him privately about the Heroes and Villains of our world. Norman then tells Riley of the eclipse, which is going to happen the next day. He informs Riley that his abilities should form at this eclipse.

But Riley saw a name in the villains category that stuck out to him. Samuel Sullivan.

Is Riley closer to the truth? Or is he steering away from it?

The next day, Petrelli Manor is nothing but ashes, everyone that Riley relied on is dead. He must start again, and find out what happened.

Riley will always remember the last thing Norman said to him... Hope... Hope Never Dies.

The story for Heroes Renatus is nearly complete. A beginning, a middle and an end has been done, now I just have to fill in the gaps.

On the next journal, I will go into greater depth into the story and who is involved, but I won't tell too much, because I want you to discover the truth yourself. :la:

There's a lot of unseen art out there worthy of a mention. I think I'm one of those people as well. So I've set out to help people to show their work through my journals.

So these are some pieces from members who sent me notes asking to be shown. :la:

Also, some small rules for submitting your art to be included in the Unknown Artists journal, please say THANK YOU. It doesn't hurt at all to say it. Also, please post the link(s) or thumb codes to your artwork so that saves time for me. Maximum of 3 artworks per person. Thanks! :meow:

Welcome, to Journal number three. :dummy:

Unfortunately thumb codes don't seem to work in the default Journal Skin. As I haven't got premium membership, I can't do this, so as for now, this will probably be the last feature journal.

But yeah, any comments at all are greatly appreciated, and you'll get a Llama for doing so.

I'm making several Machinimas at the moment.

Don't know what a Machinima is? Here's the explanation from Urban Dictionary:

"The art of using a pre-rendered gaming engine and making it into a film. The word is derived from: Machine and Cinema."

So I'm going to be making several Machinimas from the games Half Life 2 and Portal.

These Machinimas are called, and are in order of release:

This Is Aperture Science - A Single Episode Machinima going around Aperture Science, from the early days without GLaDOS, right up to where GLaDOS was built, and to the deadly neurotoxins being released.

Diaries Of The Resistance - A Cloverfield styled machinima, this will consist of several episodes, following the tale of a member of the Resistance, who is filming his own journey through the wrecked streets of City 17.

'Don't Forget Me' - Set in Black Mesa, about a scientist who is filming his remaining days at Black Mesa.

Expect to see the trailer for Diaries of The Resistance next week! :la:

Quite a while ago now, I started working on an independent film, and I thought that there were so many amazing, talented people on DeviantArt, that I sought out their help.

It originally went from being a full feature film to a 10 minute film, and now I'm hoping to get this short film done, so that I can progress to making a feature length version.

I joined the Deviant Film chat one day, and caught my luck by finding ~morphiul: [link]

Who is an amazing music composer, and I am happy to say that DeviantArt is going to receive a horde of credit through this film, because it really does help to bring talented people together.

So this piece of news is just to show how insanely awesome dA is, and how much I thank it, and that it will be in the credits of this film short, which will be shown in several Independent Film Festivals.

Soon, I will be posting a teaser trailer of it, and hopefully a lot of you will be interested! :dummy:
Yeah, my YouTube page is running low on visitors, despite the fact that I am uploading some nice videos, the amount of viewers are going down!

So I need your help guys!

Here's my YouTube link, feel free to watch the videos, or to promote them!

In return, who knows what I'm capable of doing? :dummy:

So any help at all is greatly appreciated!

After I started watching Heroes again, I was inspired by the first few episodes, which introduced our new hero, who can use see sound, and it seems when she uses sound so powerfully, it can inflict damage on the environment around her.

So this inspired me to make my own video called Hysterical Blindness, named after the same episode, and hopefully it will be up soon. :eager:

I will be posting a preview image very soon.

I have decided that I am going to put the film on hold.

Not for a long time though, only for about a year.

But, the film is always in development.

I have decided that I am going to do a 10 minute short of the film, and show that off in several film festivals, and then, if it receives enough hype, I will then go onto doing toe feature length film, hopefully, with more help in it.

Well, despite the fact that I lost a lot of things that were important to me, I am back on track, well, almost.

I have to send my hard drive back to Buffalo, and they will send another one.
Sadly, I've lost all the footage to my film, and will have to start again.

But I'm willing to start again, it's worth it. It means a lot to me.

So, hopefully as soon as I start my film again, I can upload some stuff to show you. :woohoo:

Bad news guys. ._.

My external hard drive has become corrupted and unreadable.
This includes my Film, everything I've worked on in the last 3 years.

Even the back-ups are gone.

*sigh*

Well, I'm trying my best to recover what I can, and will let you all know how I progress from there..

Two New Tutorials - Film Update.

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 28, 2009, 5:54 PM
So, I've got 2 new tutorials out.

One is of my 'One Free Man' signature: [link]

I've described how to use Layer Masks in Photoshop, and some nice colouring techniques.
Hope any of you find the tutorial useful.

Here's the tutorial: [link]

The other one is the of how I made my 'Blood Webs' signature: [link]

This is quite a vibrant tutorial based around colour corrections, some cool brushing and displacement maps.

Here's the tutorial: [link]

Also hope you find this one useful. Show me all your outcomes! :eager:

Update on my Independent Film.

I really hope to release the first ever trailer for Chankon IV before, or on the 20th December.

Keep an eye out for this.

For all the Half Life fans, As most of you know, there is a mod coming out for Steam called Black Mesa.
This is a total recreation of Half Life 1, using the Source Engine.

It's supposedly releasing this year. :P

Anyway, I'm mentioning this because I've been working hard to create a nice fanmade trailer for it.

I've finished it today, But Sony Vegas is just being idiotic at the moment.
It still needs to be tamed.

I'll let you all know when it's done. And it will be on Youtube. The dimensions are too large for dA.
