New Site and New Book

We have a new website. We are now TimeCodeMechanics.com so now you can go and check us out under our full name. I really got tired of having to spell the site out for people, now I don't have to. While this may take longer to type in, I say type it in once then bookmark it because I hope you'll be coming here often.

Our new books "Writing for Digital" and my first fiction novel "Blackrayne" both are out so I advise you to pick them up. If you're a writer and you want to write for the digital medium, then this is the book that will start you on your way. If you're a reader and just want to read a good piece of urban fantasy, then check out "Blackrayne".

Writing for Digital is my new how-to book about writing for various form of digital media. It's written for the lay person, and takes the modern writer into the new world of multimedia, with concise information to get them up and running writing for the digital medium. I cover writing for digital movies and webisodics, video games, online comics and novels. Writing web copy and blogging are also covered and presented in the most straight-forward fashion for the beginner.

Blackrayne is my new novel about Dr. Jason Blackrayne, a not so ethical shrink who contracts HIV after sleeping with one of his clients, a sex addict who committed suicide after learning she'd contracted the disease.

Jason now bides his time reading porn mags, harassing competitor Dr. Phoebe Forester and getting his needs met by a hooker named "Lips". But Jason's life changes when he meets Dr. L. Robert Hauss, former psychologist who claims he can heal any disease and radically change a person's life based on the "Transcendental Collision theory" the concept that all energies are one and can be readily manipulated once we've transcended the mental trappings of the mortal world to tap into these energies, merging the mental with the metaphysical.

Jason becomes one of Hauss' disciples; he's fit, cured and wields the energy bending, mind manipulating power of the Transcendental Collision. But when Hauss' jealous rival decides the power should be hers and Hauss' followers should be dead Jason must find a way to shake her before she takes everything he's gained, including his new life.

If either of these sound good they're available now on Amazon.com or tell your local bookstore to get them. Writing for Digital may not be in stores for a month or so, but you should be able to find Blackrayne in stores or have them order it for you.  My author page is up too so check that out for all my current and upcoming books.

Divinity Updates

Don't think I forgot about Divinity. We are making progress on it but will probably have to wait until next year to shoot it. I'm also looking to buy a new computer, possibly an Intel iMac and maybe an older Macbook.

I might migrate over to Adobe Premeire CS 4. I don't know yet because someone's offering me the new FCP, full box for more than half off, so if I get the money, I might have to jump on that. I'm also waiting on ClipWrap2. This could change the game as far as my power computer needs, but I'm still going to need to run Adobe After Effects.

On the publishing end we are also publishing "The Microbudget Filmmaking Handbook", it's mainly "Action Filmmaking" minus the heavy action slant and there's not a lot of difference between the two. We'll have some financing case studies in the handbook those so that will be fun.

Also I'm working on a book called "Writing For Digital." It's a very streamlined breakdown of writing scripts for the current digital medium. Again much of the info on screenwriting can be found in "Action Filmmaking" or "The Microbudget Filmmaking Handbook" but all the other information in this book will be new.

My fiction novel "Blackrayne" will finally be released in the middle of November sometime so be on the look out for that. I think you'll like it if you like suspense and the supernatural.

New Action Filmmaking

The second edition of Action Filmmaking is out now. If you liked the first one you'll love this one with over 100 pages of new information on filmmaking including start up and distribution of an independent project.

Also the Wages of Sin: Action Filmmaking 2 Disc Set is also now available. Disc 2 hold 100 minutes of behind the scenes footage. So if you ever wanted to know how to make a low budget action film on the cheap, this is how we do it.

And don't forget the workbook. People overlook the workbook but they shouldn't as it takes you through the steps of actually making the film.
