Awards Graphics
Dawnrunner is pleased to announce we've been contracted to do the Awards Show graphics for this years Game Developers Choice Awards (www.gamechoiceawards.com) and the Independent Game Festival (www.igf.com)!! We are coming up with initial concepts now,but we cannot wait to get started! Rumor has it that we will be required to create motion graphic elements to run seamlessly with the show, on a 20ft tall LED screen!! Our graphics department is so excited that I'm a bit scared! We are working with Think Services on the initial designs and I cannot wait to see the result! It is bound to be awe inspiring! Check back for updates, and I'm sure you will get to see the work on the demo reel!
Starting Arts Commercial Animatic
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Here's the animatic for the commercial we're shooting in the next week. The idea was to capture the feeling and idea of what Starting Arts does without just coming out and saying it. That'd be an informercial. So instead of telling about what's going on in the animatic, I'm going to talk about the process of making it.
Austin GDC
It's one thing we always look forward to at Dawnrunner - our annual road trip to Austin, Texas for the Austin Game Developers Conference! This year was no exception! Thankfully, unlike last year, we did not almost run out of gas in Palm Desert! Besides the buzz that is normally surrounding the Austin GDC, this year I must say looked fantastic! Think Services did an incredible job with the show, not only visually but it's organization as well! Our crew always looks forward to going to Austin, and it's not just for the a-m-a-z-i-n-g Texas BBQ (although that is definitely a reason as well!). The drive back was interesting as part of the crew got to experience what they deem "horror script worthy" haunted New Mexico gas stations. We still need to get the fully story on that, but we'll update accordingly! Goodbye Austin, until we meet again - and thanks for the ribs!
Gearing up for a Feature!
All of us here at Dawnrunner Productions are excited to announce that we're entering into pre-production of a feature film! There are no details as of yet that we can get into, but what I can tell you is the following:
It will be a horror film, involving some pretty old folk-lore.
It will be shot in association with another production company overseas.
It will be shot in the southern United States.
It will be really - really scary!
Can you feel the excitement!? We will release more details as they become available.
