This scene from the intro of The Chaos Engine remains a favourite of mine. The metallic yet pastel palette, the way the head breaks the frame, the sense of scale, the interesting approach to sculpted anatomy - lovely stuff by @trimfone3! ^_^
Tune in today at 3.30pm for a fascinating talk on Women's Lives in 18th Century China. Join Dr. Isabella Jackson of @tcddublin School of Histories and Humanities and Miss Xun Liu of @TCDAsianStudies as they dissect the classic novel 'The Dream of the Red Chambers'. #WomensStories
Starting my audio drama recording in 2020 the way I ended in 2019 with another very funny script by @ciaraesmyth Today we recorded “All Honey” directed by @JedadeBri and you can also catch the stage production of it this week https://t.co/LDKBwFrc4M #AudioDrama #AudioDramaSunday
Last Sunday we booked a big block of studio time and I recorded the latest Near Drama Company production ‘Rivitin’ History’
Now I’ve got to start on post production and get all the sound effects added in. We should be ready for broadcast in March.
This is a follow up to two previous episodes that were produced about 2 years ago.
It’s a Irish time travel comedy written by Pat Meehan who was one of the writers behind The Shamrogues series of childrens books back in the 80s.
We recorded a new podcast last week for arcadeandretro.com where we took a look back at the awkward history of sex in classic videogames.
I had a few friends over for a retro video game party last weekend and we decided to livestream some games.
Unfortunately we’re still working out a way to stream older systems, but fortunately the Wii U is backwards compatible and has a HDMI video output which is easy for us to stream. We played a game called ‘Escape From Bug Island’ from 2006 which we had a lot of fun with. There’s some amazing dialogue in this game.
We got a nice mention in the Irish Independent on Saturday for ‘A Woman, A Dog and a Walnut Tree’:
Finally, production deadlines prevented me covering this, but the ever-inventive community radio station Near FM deserve a mention for really pushing the boat out with a unique broadcasting event. A Woman, a Dog & a Walnut Tree (Wed, 9.30pm) was a radio play, but with a significant difference: it was performed live, over one-and-a-half hours. Written by Denis Byrne, the work tells the stories of three women in a refuge victims of domestic violence, and was followed by a panel discussion on the subject.
But it’s the live element that really tickled my fancy. What ambition, courage and imagination – would larger organisations, with better finances, take such risks? It’s all available to listen back on www.near.ie.
2 recent arcade and retro podcasts I’ve produced.
One is about Batman and the other is about blood… what more could you want? You can find all of the podcasts at arcadeandretro.com
