So, here’s a short episode for you.  The piggies need a break occasionally, too.  It was actually quite nice to have a quick ep (only about 6 hours post production)  I would’ve dropped it yesterday, but there were some issues with the sound effects that i wanted to fix.

This has been a crazy week!  work’s been picking up at the day job, so that means more to do there and a little bit more pay.  *and* I started a new manuscript.  now, this one is not part of the Piggy Moto story line.  in fact, it’s not even in the same story world.  It’s a fantasy thriller sort of story, and I’m making pretty good progress so far.  if you’d like, feel free to follow me on Twitter or Facebook, as I’ll be posting periodic updates there.

Guardian Mind Mix composed this week’s closing music.  Mevio’s Podsafe Music Network has really been an invaluable resource lately!

If you liked this episode please leave a comment or drop me a line! I’d love to hear from you

Hefty complex episode with a pretty sizable cast, this one!

How about that closing music?!  That’s the Blaggards on MEVIO’s Podsafe Music Network.  This was one of my favorite songs for as long as I can remember, and the Blaggards do a great version of it.  So, check them out when you get a chance.

Recording two episodes at once was a great boon!  I need to start recording a bunch in advance from now on! :)

Man, what a pain in the BUTT!  First my hard drive crashes, THEN I realize I’ve lost voice files.  Then I find that I can’t FTP, THEN I break a potted plant onto the carpet *falls over*  what a pain!

The closing music I used was a really lucky find on MEVIO’s Music Alley.  it was performed by Helen White and yeah, she gave me goosebumps.

I ended up recording two episodes in this last go-around, so *crosses fingers* the next episode should be ready really soon.

Serious Hardware Crash

Friday, August 7th, 2009

The Piggymoto computer suffered a pretty devastating hardware crash earlier this week.  The hard drive died, and I lost most of my raw data.  With the help of a very talented friend, we are back up and running, though.  But, I will need to but a new computer pretty soon, which is something I can’t afford…  So…  Just yikes.

At any rate, there’s some great news, that I’m really eager to tell you about!  I just signed on with an advertising campaign with zazzle.com.  (and it could not have come at a better time)  Zazzle is a site where artists can turn their creativity into cash.  T-shirts, mugs, mousepads, even shoes and skateboards – just send you art, design the items, and sell it to the world.  Easy easy easy!  I’m going to set up a store there for Piggy Moto gear too, so stay tuned!

Anyway, “How does this help Piggy Moto?”, you may ask.  Well, zazzle.com gave me a couple promo codes to share with YOU, so that you can save some cash when you shop at Zazzle.   When you use one of these codes for your purchase, Piggy Moto gets a cut at no extra cost to you!   Just enter the Piggy Moto promo code in the little window under your shopping cart inventory.  Here are the codes:

pigpodcast10 – this will save you 10% on orders of $50.00 or more.

pigpodcast12 – this will save you 12% on orders of $75.00 or more.

SO that’s where things stand right now.  I am working on a pre-roll for Zazzle right now, and then will get to recording episode 19 :  I hope to drop it on Sunday.  so.  Keep your eyes out :)

Episode Eighteen: Tainted

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Imho.. Scariest episode yet

Piggy Moto, All Star Boar Band, Episode Eighteen.

 
icon for podpress  Piggy Moto - All Star Boar Band - Episode 18: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (182)

What an episode!   It’s long, and it’s intense (imho) and it has lots and lots of voices, INCLUDING a cameo from the amazing Phil Rossi.  He’s got a dead tree book out, which was one of my favorite podio novels: Crescent. If you like being scared sh*tless, this dude will do it to ya.  He’ll downright make you forget it’s mid day.

Now, let’s talk about the closing music!  Marina V is one of the musical artists who’s work I found on Mevio’s Music Alley.  She’s got lost of music available on her site, and a player there as well, so you can sample it.  Great stuff, I’m tellin’ ya.

Now, I don’t know exactly when my next episode is gonna drop.  I need to get with a couple actors to re-record several lines, AND I’m going out of town for about a week.  I’m going to hope to get it done by Sunday, but you know me and these deadline promises.  I’ll do my best. :)

Back with a blast

OOh man, this one kicked my BUTT!  Through the last couple weeks, I have been dealing with a lot of personal stuff, but at the same time, I’ve been working very closely with Chris to compose the music that you’ll hear the pigs rehearsing in this episode.  Now, *I* am no composer, but Chris is all professional and stuff.  And patient as a saint to put up with me though this process.  He also went ahead and gave me a GREAT bunny voice, which I think really gives the end of this episode a nice kick.  So, Special thanks to my sweetheart!  Thanks more than words can express, Chris!

I also have a bit of good news!   I was contacted by someone from MEVIO, and they wanted to pick me up!  So now, Piggy Moto can also be found on MEVIO.  Go there to earn me some piggy food (advertising pays) but come HERE for the recipes and all the inside scoop!

There will be an episode on Wednesday.

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

I do apoligize about the long @$$ delay.  BUT  everything has fallen into place and things are rolling again.  This next episode will be SUPER special, and it’s pretty dang crazy complex.. so, I want to do it RIGHT.. that’s why I’m not rushing it.  I am giving my eyes, and ears and voice a break, and will have the next episode out on or before Wednesday.  I swears it!

Taxes, Contracts, Music, Etc

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

As you’ve probably noticed, there’s yet again no episode for this week.

There’s been a WHOLE lot going on.

More to come later.

What?! No episode?!

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Unexpected break.  Sorry folks.

Late last week, I had a bit of a family emergency, and that set me back a bit as far as working on the podcast.  Fortunately, things have been resolved and everything is well on track to normalizing.  I’m not done with last week’s episode, and rather than rush myself just so I can put it out late, I’m gonna go ahead and just skip until next Sunday

So, that was the bad news.  The good news (and the reason I am skipping) is because the next episode is pretty damn ambitious.  A good deal of folks have had very kind things to say about my sound effects, occasional bed music and other post production treats I put into these episodes, and to them I would like to say, “Just wait until next Sunday.”  HooooO!  It’s gonna be good >:)

So, there we are.  I’ll banter at y’all Sunday :)

Love you all!

Episode Sixteen: The Theater Acquaintance

Good Production = Less Post Production

Piggy Moto, All Star Boar Band, Episode Sixteen.

I paid a bit more attention to the recording process this time around – rewinding and rerecording rather than just doing retake after retake. I really think it’s made a HUGE difference. I shaved about an hour off of my post production.

Regardless, though, I was up STUPID late last night. So, I’m pretty exhausted right now *chuckle* I wanted to mention next episode, though. There will be a need for LOTS of music in the scoring. So, if you are a musician, or know of one, please drop me a line.

I wanna give a thankful shout out to Woyro. ‘E’s gonna drop one of the Piggy Moto Promos into the

Woyro’s Warren podcast. Go over and check it out when you get a chance :)
