VidFest Presentation

  • 78
    This is a loosely chronological survey of my work from my teenage fanzine artwork to screenshots of The Matrix Online, for which I wrote story continuity over the first few years of its existence. SF illustration, movie storyboards, advertising art and plenty of Concrete and other comics work included. It was part of my talk with Mark Verheiden, then a Battlestar Galactica writer/producer, to Vidfest 2007 in Vancouver BC.

PS. Your comment about World of Warcraft vs The Matrix Online has helped us come up with a new term.

Chadwhipped. (Whenever people are "owned", you can say they have been chadwhipped)

Thanks for giving the interview, Mr. Chadwick.

Keep an eye on the RSI Forums; AvatRAMa and I will be collaborating and putting out a lot of screenshots of the monuments and special locations around the MegaCity.

Anyways, you're not that old! Why look, you've got plenty of spirit left:

Pew pew! You're the man, Mr. Chadwick. Thank you.

And that is why the MxO community is so closely knit. Who else laughs at themselves like that. I's all good.
Wish I was able to go to the block party... Pity I live in Melbourne Australia.

To the storywriter of the matrix

You have created a wonderfull game that I enjoy dearly. Even after the kryptonite beams. I wish i could have been at the soe blockparty ((I live in Japan, so its kinda difficult)). I wish you the best of luck and for the success of MxO.

P.S. Were you at ComicCon last year?

Pandoraonline

That’s very kind of you.Thanks for your sharing yourecco shoes sale.Now pls enjoy my saying. New Arrivals another small word of warning or procedure, used for a few days. It’s not the shoes you just drag and drop the store and carry around that time. You’ll notice the pandora charms bracelets online sale that do not use it to start earlier, pain during the first use, as you walk every day, especially if you’re on my feet (no, if the effect was not so bad). But apart from yesterday when I wear my pandora charms bracelets , I can not wear ecco clarks shoes in the next week.

Sarah,First of all, let me say how much I love your blog! I'm just now reading blogs for the first time in my life, and tnkniihg of starting one myself, and I love yours!!! I'm so glad I came across your post because I can completely relate!! Tommy and I, even though only being married for a little over a year now, have worked and lived together for almost 5 years, and it is a constant struggle to separate work from the rest of life! You have to make a conscious effort to make time away from work when you are a couple who works together, and especially when your office is out of your house. We have three separate businesses, the landscaping company; a sister landscape maintenance company; and the hunting TV show, that we juggle, and they can consume your life before you know it. It is so important to follow a schedule and have rules (mine are to keep the laptop out of the living room and bedroom and no talking on the phone during dinner!).It is so nice to read about another couple who is experiencing the same things we are. I think it is a special and unique adventure to be married to each other and business partners. I feel so blessed to be with Tommy as much as I am and to work alongside him. I thought for sure that I'd be running for the hills when we first got together and decided to work with each other, but it has been the most beautiful and bonding journey. We definitely understand each other on another level, but it continues to be a learning process. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings, and I look forward to reading more of your blog!!Elizabeth Martiniere
