Hello to everyone checking out the Fortunes Mine website. Were excited to have a place to share our preproduction process for this year's Summer Film Camp. Last year's pilot program, Singularity, was huge success and also a great learning experience for everyone involved.

This year we're writing a longer script, with more roles and more action! We've also assembled a larger crew to help us with visual effects, editing, and sound. This time around we're also bringing some of the post-production aspects to the camp as well; we'll be editing some scenes and visual effects during camp time and we'll be staying an hour after camp each day to work on post-production. We're excited to get this year's film going so check back often and follow what we're doing. See you at the camp!

I was poking around the website and I realized that we have been severely neglecting our website updates and our demo reel!  We will be working this week to update the videos we've been working on!  It's been one of those crazy-busy years that has kept us from sharing all our latest and greatest stuff!  We hope to have that remedied by end of the week!

GDC is next week and Dawnrunner is gearing up for it's biggest show yet!  We are looking forward to seeing all the familiar faces throughout the show, as well as seeing how Think Services has made the show even more incredible than the previous years (something they do consistantly!)  This will be our third year covering the show for them, and it is our biggest presence yet!  We are all looking forward to the Award show on Wednesday night and the debut of our months of work, but also the coverage of the show itself!  With a crew over 30 people - we are hoping to make this the biggest and best GDC yet for Video coverage!  Check out the gdconf website for all the sizzle reel shortly after the show, for all those HOT video clips!

Today Geoff and I went into the studio to record the Commentary for "Singularity."  It was our first time doing such, and I have to admit we had a lot of fun (probably too much!).  The Singularity project was fun anyway - but getting to go back and yap about all the fun we had along the way was a blast!  IF you picked up a DVD, make sure you watch it once with the commentary on - you will be entertained!

There's tons of stuff on the plate for Dawnrunner Productions, and as such be expecting a lot more blog activity in the near future!  Including some commercials shot for local television, some music videos and some of our own projects we're finally getting around too!
Check back soon!
