A great list from Tripwire Magazine: 10+ Best Free or Open Source Photoshop Alternative Software

Lars from Tripwire Magazine deserves a hug. Lars deserves a hug for the next month.

This past week I was poking around online, looking for any serial numbers that needed a new home or a new purpose… you know, a purpose of making something work beyond a 30 day trial period, a purpose of giving life to a rather popular piece of software that is protected and guarded rather ferociously from people who’d like to “get the milk for free”.

After sifting through pages of potential numbers that might need adoption I came across a link that led me to a more honest path; I have Lars to thank for keeping me on this honest path.

Lars is the author of “10+ Best Free or Open Source Photoshop Alternative Software” on Tripwire Magazine. This is a great list complete with lovely pictures. I’m now quite a fan of Pixlr.

If you do have some nagging tug of morality that you can’t wash off or block out I encourage you to take a little trip over to this list. http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2011/04/10-best-free-or-open-source-photoshop-alternative-software.html

And thank Lars.  

A quick tid-bit about our next project

Besides the upcoming release of our web-series “Partners in Pretension” (“our” meaning T.G.C. Films, LLC where I work with the talented Fernando Noor (always wise to suck up... ;p)) we are also filming a short fantasy film in early September. This short will be produced with Longlost Pictures – a magical post production team who are also equally as magical on set. You can see proof of that here with their entry into the “Hello, Future. Moby” contest.

The film will star Fernando Noor, Melissa Malan, Tristan Scott-Behrends and Malia Miglino.

We (Longlost and us) plan on updating frequently about this project with pictures and little how-tos for other filmmakers who are getting into pre-production or production in the challenging genre of fantasy.

We cannot wait to share this with you!

Partners in Pretension release dates!

I'm so excited to announce that my web-series "Partners in Pretension" now has a release date!  Several release dates to be more precise...  


For those of you who are busy enough with your own lives that you don't have room in your minds for the details of all of my various projects the synopsis of Partners in Pretension is as follows:


"Partners in Pretension” follows the story of Angel Valenzuela and Dorian Blue as they attempt to navigate life after college graduation. Faced with unemployment, graduate school rejection and hopelessly out of touch with no idea of how to manage their own lives, the boys hope revenue from online how to videos will bring them the respect and money they so desire.


The release dates for PIP (how we lazy folk often refer to "Partners in Pretension") are... right... here:


Episode 1: August 29th
How-to 1: August 30th
Episode 2: September 5th
How-to #2: Sept 12th
Episode 3: Sept 19th
How-to #3: Sept 26th
Episode 4: October 3rd


These will be released on our official site and Youtube as of this moment.


In total, we have seven episodes but we like to divide them up into story episodes and how-to episodes.  (By the way, I'm not using the "Royal We", just insert Fernando Noor's name and my friends at Longlost Pictures into the "we" when used.) 


I've linked to the site for Partners in Pretension over and over again through this post, but if you'd like a more direct way to get there and check out the site please head to www.partnersinpretension.com.  It'd also be nice if you went to our fan page and "liked" it; I'm not saying you have to, I'm saying it would be nice.  https://www.facebook.com/Partnersinpretension
