Hugh Steps Down
So wow! Hugh Hancock has stepped down as Editor-In-Chief of Machinima.com. This is big news for the machinima community. For Hugh, I expect its just a narrowing of focus. Now he can do what I he really wants. Make a movie. Hes pulled off the ultimate marketing powerplay. Hes created an industry, so we can make our movies.
Personally, Hugh has brought great opportunity to my path. As previous written I was in talks with BioWare about opportunities for a Cinematic Designer. The part of the story I left out was that it was actually Hugh that put BioWare in touch with me. His BloodSpell film is being done with the Neverwinter Nights engine so he had some dealing with the BioWare guys. When this position came up between them I was a direction Hugh pointed them in. Now I'm happy to say, thank you Hugh, I'm moving to Edmonton! :)
I start at BioWare March 1st to be working as Cinematic Designer on Mass Effect (Unreal Engine 3!).
Tres cool!
Thanks Hugh! :) :) :)

Well...damn! Real sorry to see Hugh step down from machinima.com. I predict bad times ahead for the site. It's going to become an online version of People magazine. I probably won't be there when PDB starts adding numerical ratings, massive coverage of Rooster Teeth, MTV banners and a EULA to sign in order to post at the site. Am I overreacting? Of course
Great news about your new job, Ken. I'm not suprised that Hugh was behind it. He's a good man. I think your new job is going to be a lot of fun. Hope you are making some good money, too! Will the new job make it harder to do your website here?
Good luck, my friend.

I don't expect the job will make it harder to do my website as now the site is related to my day job! I'll probably continue as I do now, check on things during lunch or breaks and post what I see as new or cool.
Although, I won't be able to help if the site leans on the gaming industry a bit. ;)
