Podcasting and Stuff

Today I had an interview lined up with a Guild Fan for our upcoming podcast Ep. 15 pt. 2. So at 8pm Jenni and I got on skype with our friend Eva for the interview. It was quick and to the point lasting about 7 minutes.. it was a good though short interview.

After that I did a little editing work on the episode. Earlier that day I had gotten the Sean Becker Guild Something segment and so I cut in both of those segments. So all is left to do is cut in the SFX and do one final pass before I level it, convert it and then upload it.

It won't be posted until the End of April (I'm thinking Friday April 30th)

Gotta start planning to record our next episode.. man for a hobby this takes up alot of my time. :)

We’re pleased to announce that Season 4 of The Guild is official – Microsoft has renewed the show for another season and new episodes of The Guild will be coming to Xbox, Zune and PCs this summer.

Felicia is putting the finishing touches on the script for Season 4, which will pick up where Season 3 left off. Pre-production is underway, keeping producer Kim Evey and Streamy Award winning director Sean Becker very busy as cameras are set to roll sometime in May. Seasons 1 through 3 are currently available on watchtheguild.com, iTunes, Amazon and YouTube.

Microsoft has sponsored The Guild since season 2. The Guild thanks Microsoft – along with all the fans – for continued support of the show.

-The Guild management

I actually chatted with Felicia Day for a few minutes and tried to squeeze some info out about Season Four.. I wasn’t too successful but I did manage to get a few tibits.. so take a listen to my conversation with Felicia.

Interview with Teal Sherer

Tonight after work I rushed home to do an interview with Teal Sherer (Venom). Jenni is still on the east coast and couldn't make the interview so I was doing it solo. Earlier in the week I had tweeted about doing the interview and asked for questions and the listeners really stepped up and sent me a bunch of cool and interesting questions.

I have to say this was on of my favorite interviews that I have done so far for KOTG. Teal is a very sweet and intelligent lady who gave really good honest answers... it flowed so well.

And you guys will be able to enjoy this interview in our next podcast Knights of the Guild Ep. 15 part 1 which will be released on April 15th.

KOTG Microcast #16 Quest for Comic Signing


Guildsigning.jpg

This Microcast covers the Guild’s comic book signing at Golden Apple in Hollywood. It started out as Felicia Day only but soon all six cast members were going to be there to sign. I wanted to do this microcast for all the fans who couldn’t make it. Jenni (my co-host) is on the East coast so I asked a good friend of mine Greg Aronowitz to join me, which he happily did. So we got there around 5 and there was already a line forming. We interviewed some fans who were waiting and then went inside when the event started. Most of the night I was the “muscle” and stood by Felicia and made sure no one went behind the table. It was a very well organized event and everything went very smoothly. After the last person in line (they had to close off the line). I joined in and had my owe comic books signed.. I might work for The Guild but I’m still a fanboy. :) Greg and I also did mini interviews with each cast members about the experience and being in a comic book and an interview with the store owner Ryan.

It was a great night, Greg was a super substitute co-host and hopefully this microcast brought the signing to everyone.

You can see more pictures on my flickr account..

Thanks for listening

Tubefilter Original Link

EXCLUSIVE: Felicia Day Dishes On ‘Lil Guildies’

by Jenni Powell

Lil Guildies - web series

It looks like The Guild will continue its transmedia dominance after releasing the first of the three-part The Guild comic through Dark Horse with…an animated TV series called Lil Guildies, confirming our earlier report of this mysterious video. Day revealed to Tubefilter that she has inked a deal with a very prominent animation house (we’re not allowed to say due to NDA obligations) to bring to life a Muppet Baby-esque series that shows us what our favorite Guildies would look like as kids.

When first broached with the idea, Day was hesitant due to her already packed schedule of prepping the comics as well as her staring role in the upcoming SyFy series Red but being able to bring The Guild to gamers with kids was too good of an opportunity to pass up. “I love working on the web because I don’t have to compromise creatively,” said Day. “I thought a mainstream kids show for TV would be a disaster in that regard but they kept saying that they loved my sensibility and they really wanted me to do whatever I felt was true to the tone of the web series.” She was able to bring on board several friends of the show to get it made: Greg Aronowitz (prop master for Do You Want to Date My Avatar? and co-creator of the hilarious The Guild Christmas products bonus features) created all the character design and Paul and Storm did the theme song.

An interesting dilemma was how to deal with the fact that the character of Bladezz is so much younger than the rest of his guildmates. The solution seems outlandish but definitely doable considering Day’s willingness to take chances. Says Day: “I never thought for a second that they’d actually approve Embryonic Bladezz but when they did I felt like they passed the creativity litmus test. And I guess cartoons are a lot more progressive now than they were when I was growing up.”

Day also supplied us with the lyrics to the theme song composed by Paul and Storm:

Everyone come along (log on)
Lil’ Guildies are questin’ again
Singin’ a happy song (come on)
Join the party with Codex and friends

Tink and Clara come a runnin’ on the double again
Zaboo’s sneakin’ up to get a cuddle again
Embryonic Bladezz is makin’ trouble again
And Vork has a monkey, a wah ha ho

Lil Guildies are on the case
Makin’ music and solving crime
And also they’re in outer space
Friends of yours and mine
It’s time for Lil’ Guildies time!

The show definitely won’t be for everyone but just like the old Loony Tunes or Rocky and Bullwinkle, Day tells us, “I’m going to put in lots of stuff that will go right over kids’ heads but that their parents will think is really funny. Hopefully.”

Release dates for the project will be forthcoming.
