Tinselman

The Immortal Augustus Gladstone Everything

 

 

Hi loyal tinselman readers (and members of the Republic)! I've been talking about it for awhile and now it's here... or virtually here! The Immortal Augustus Gladstone will be released, for your viewing pleasure, before Christmas! Because afterall, Augustus was born on Christmas... he wouldn't have wanted to miss the holiday!

Above is our latest trailer featuring the music of VAST! We call the trailer "Searching For Blood".

More news... our film is being released and presented by our favorite blog Boing Boing. Its initial release will be exclusively available only from their site! But you can can pre-order the movie now as a DRM-free download!

We'll be partnering with Boing Boing to bring you tons of fun stuff. Like contests, interviews with collaborators, related short films, and more... like the following first episode of "Augustus Speaks", created from footage we didn't use in the film..

Visit our channel at YouTube or Vimeo to subscribe.

You can also now pre-order the official soundtrack to the film - the first soundtrack I've written since Riven. Or maybe just listen to a few tracks...

Soundtrack is available here. It will be released Dec. 13th (just a few days from now).

You can find all this and more at our new website, here.

Augustus needs your help! (So do we.) Please help spread the word! Thanks!

Space Patrol - The Hairy Men of Mars

 

Space Patrol was a sci-fi show from the early 60's written and produced by Roberta Leigh. I have no idea if it was popular or a dud.

In this episode? The Space Patrol crew discover a curious race of hairy martians and a martian hair-growing fruit. How convenient! Because one of the characters is bald!

The Immortal Augustus Gladstone Trailer

Some of you may be aware... I've been working on a small film for awhile. It's done! (polite applause) We released the first offical trailer on our blog last night. 

A couple years ago, Augustus discovered the modern era and started leaving a series of YouTube videos. In this film we try to delve more deeply into who he is. In the process, we discovered what it means to be filmmakers.

I really hope you enjoy the trailer!!!

Robyn's Posterous

I love the HD camera on the iPhone 4. It may not be the best camera in the world, but it's always with me, no matter where I'm at. I've recently begun a blog -- Robyn's Posterous -- mostly devouted to the stuff I photograph with this camera.

War Paint

As a kid, I always thought race cars were so incredibly cool looking. Fast, sleek, colorful... like toys. Somewhere along the long, race cars changed; the cars themselves seemed to disappear beneath a barrage of advertisements. This short video explains it all so well...

How delightful! A confused Nixon... talking to Spiro Agnew. Or below, Nixon (rapidly) mourns the death of the Hulk.
