… how could I miss one of those beautiful conspiracy theories? I just thought that black helicopters were…. well black… turns out I did not know that there are BLACK HELICOPTERS flying over the US (probably not Europe as we tend to control those helicopters, only the UK might have them) to take them over!

BAGGER 288! Oh my god, can it get any worse than this?

What can you do to improve your pictures? What should you avoid? What makes someone a pro? What an amateur? What’s the difference? Great video interviews covering all of this.

Machinima is a mix word coming from Machine, Cinema and Animation. Rooster Teeth made a classic Machinima show called red vs blue based on the Halo engine. Last year they came around to create some real life short films, which made my day. There are 20 episodes and these are my favorite:

1. Smoking makes cool
2. Gambling is based on skill and only partly on luck
3. Stars play MMORPGs
4. The government is always right
5. Radio killed Books, TV killed Radio, Internet killed Enterprises
6. Internet Marketing is different to selling snake oil
7. social media sites are interested in conversation instead of monetizing your private data

Once you start thinking for yourself life takes a nasty little twist, not everything is as it seems. Usually bad, but very profitable things, are promoted by a lot of people. Even those you think who are trustworthy. Be careful who you offer your trust. Don’t put your creative capital in the hands of someone else. Make sure you are the one who makes the money, and not the pawn working for a big content landlord.
