Rich Douglas is scoring an original piece for our upcoming Gears of War short and it sounds awesome! This is our first short with original music and it is a mini-milestone for TheDuoGroup. For as long as I can remember I have been editing to music that has already been made. Editing and creating a [...]
This Place is Balllller. I think you can tell for yourself…but I just had to say it. Park Road Post is a premiere post production facility in Wellington, New Zealand. This studio was built by Peter Jackson and he went all out. He didn’t overlook anything. Staying late working on your film? No worries, they [...]
Quick Update:
So we are almost finished with the video side of the project. I am hoping to have a picture lock tonight so we can send it over to Rich who is composing music for this piece. This project has taken a little longer than expected because of the tricks we have had to use [...]
Spider-Man, web of shadows released today and the above is the trailer for the release. Now, if you didn’t know already, I AM SPIDER-MAN. Well I’m a huge geeked out fan. That being said, I’m really tired of the crap that Marvel keeps producing.
Don’t get me wrong, Marvel has put out some good titles. The [...]
So our friends over at LitFuseFilms finally released their Gears of War Machinima. They spent a lot of time and effort on trying to do something that no one else has succesfully done to date. They used the Unreal Engine to actually generate their own Gears of War content, which is mind numbingly hard even [...]
Yah yah, its not necessarily game related, but I still think its cool enough to post. This lil commercial was done by David Fincher, director of Fight Club. Well done and well executed, props David.
The guys over at Smooth Few Films have just released their first episode of “Web Zeroes.” I’m glad someone is mixing it up in the machinma scene…being that they’re doing a live action episodic material about making machinima. I know…that just blew your mind didn’t it? So run on over to their site to check [...]
I want to know what they will do about the scarcity of frog suits!?!? FYI, this is as political as I like my politics.
This weeks (sorry for being late on this) the DuoGroupie of the Week is Linda Cardellini. WHO!? WHOM!?!? She is the Samantha from the movie Grandma’s Boy who plays a hot, young, video game project manager sent in to make sure the gaming project of the century “Eternal Death Slayer 3″ comes out on schedule.
So I will say that this topic came to my attention via our forums and our forum member DSURIAN. Anyway, we were talkin, and he brought up how much he loved the Starcraft 2 cinematic trailer. I think I had seen it back in the day, but completely forgot about it. So I watched it [...]
I apologize, it has been a while since I have updated all of you on our new project. I have been working pretty hard over the last week or so on the video and it is coming together very nicely. I have had to change some things up (like usual) while putting everything together. Sometime [...]
Check out this awesome live action commercial for Fable II. A brilliant idea that is executed to perfection. Who said all game commercials had to be cheesy?
About a week ago, the teaser for this trailer was released. I thought it was kind of lame, because it really didn’t show anything other then some “computer” interface and some sort of disaster like situation. Anyway, although the teaser could have been much better, the newly released Halo 3: Recon TGS Trailer [...]
So I have a problem. It normally happens between the hours of 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM on Friday or Saturday. It affects a lot of people I’m friends with and is extremely uncontrollable. People sometimes laugh at me and sometimes just think I am pathetic for doing it. No it’s not my bed wetting, [...]
I don’t know if anyone has read this comic book graphic novel but I’ve been meaning to post about this movie for a while. First off the book is the only comic book graphic novel to win a Hugo Award AND Time’s list of “the 100 best English-language novels.” I’ve read it, and although its [...]
The Duo Groupie of the Week isn’t just one person, but a entire segment of the female population, Guitar Hero Hotties. Guitar Hero and its other spin-offs have changed the way people play games, and well….girls are people too. This week we admire the girls who have the courage and talent to pick up gauntlet [...]
If there is one thing TheDuoGroup loves as much as gaming and makin’ vids, its the full bodied refreshing taste of an ice cold BEER. And even though we aren’t too proud when it comes to our weapon of choice (miller, bud, natty, you name it), we (well, just me really – but I like to have a [...]
Looks like the first cinematic for the upcomign Halo Wars game. I like that they are taking this down a new road and not bringing cortana nor other favored prefered well-liked famed vogue vox populi popular Halo characters into this. Anyway, the trailer looks pretty sweet, so make sure to check it out. Gotta love [...]
Don’t know who all has seen this already, but I found this lil gem over on gametrails.com. I guess its some sort of dance recital and the “dance crew” decided to dress up as the nurses from Silent Hill and jerk around on stage.
A few suggestions I would like to make:
1) Girl in the back [...]
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the last year then you probably have seen a video made by Smooth Few Films. These guys are the brains behind the well known ‘The Leet World’ series and the hilarious ‘Portal: A Day in the Life of a Turret.’ Their next endeavor is a [...]
Check our forums for more info….
Yes, I did get a random impulse to draw a robot in Microsoft Paint. Not really sure why though. Guess I was trying to get a grip on the future.
YEP, its pretty close to that. The more and more I look into this subject the more and more it begins to suck. The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) is the organization consisting volunteers from married parents with a “shared parenthod experience,” clergy members, and studio heads that gives movies, trailers and now “any [...]
