We’ve had a “season one trailer” posted here before, about a year ago — but that one was kind of thrown together at the last minute to show at our lobby table at Norwescon, and … [ read more » ]

It’s the year 2531 and Dr. Genesee is about to start a new life. This is the prequel mini-episode we’ve been talking about for a year now. We’re VERY proud of it, and hope … [ read more » ]
Anyone who’s ever worked in film/television knows that days are long, night shoots feel even longer, and questionable things happen after midnight. During the night shoot for our “Dr. Genesee Mini-Sode” we spent some time … [ read more » ]

I didn’t really do much the past couple days (it’s a vacation! I can sleep any time I want!) but I did see a play at the fabulous BATS Theatre with my cousin Dave, who also works in theater and film. Once a year they do a horror fest called STAB. But the day before or so I visited the Roxy Cinema, which has recently been restored to polished-wood-and-brass glory by Jamie Selkirk and Sir Richard Taylor of Miramar/Weta. That's real light, not digital light! *ding!* The best part, though, … [ read more » ]
Here’s the thing, and you need to understand this: All writers are liars. It’s what we do. It’s what you come to us for, in fact — you want us to lie to you, to tell you about things that never happened and people who never existed. You want us to lie to you so well that you believe in it, at least enough to feel happy when good things happen to the imaginary people we make you care about, to feel sad when they struggle and fail. I am … [ read more » ]
So we visited the Karori Sanctuary, a 500-year project to restore the temperate rainforest inside Wellington, where we saw some flightless birds, lizards, and giant bugs, plus very large ferns and deadly mushrooms. A suspension bridge over the valley. I admit: hilly green places make me feel quite at home. Amanita muscaria. Don't eat it. Really. Then we went to the Weta Cave (not to be confused with the cave where weta live). I saw Gollum, Lurtz, that dog from The Frighteners, Jane from Jane and the Dragon, and lots … [ read more » ]
Here’s a little time travel levity, thanks to the Whitest Kids U Know… [ read more » ]
Hey, Time Travelers! Just wanted to let you know that I arrived in Wellington on a beautiful, sunny day, and we spent some time walking around the little nooks and crannies. Before I arrived in NZ I had to go back in time and solve a thing. I’ve never been in a more walkable city. I was wondering why there were a bunch of cosplayers hanging around the waterfront, until I learned that the nerds were in town. And I had forgotten my Causality handbills at the house! Oh, well, … [ read more » ]
You may have heard by now: my father has died. I wrote briefly about him and his illness in January. When we — artists, writers — talk about grief, particularly fresh grief, it’s nearly impossible to write anything that’s not alienatingly personal. Joan Didion notwithstanding, most memoirs of people’s lives after the death of a loved one are terrible. As in not good. To that end…I tried to have something to say, but right now I don’t. Maybe later. It doesn’t really matter, anyway: what I have to say about grief is more useful … [ read more » ]
Ok, It’s above my head, but he seems to know what he’s talking about… We might need to get this kid to consult with us as we develop the mechanics of time travel technology for Causality. Montoure, can you follow what he’s talking about? I read Stephen Hawking’s “Universe” and “A Brief History of Time”, but never quite made it to applied Astrophysics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irIZqskssrw [ read more » ]
You’ve heard that expression before, right, Time Travelers? It’s a somewhat ambiguous saying, since it means that things come in groups; sometimes bad things, sometimes good things. It’s been pouring lately in Causality land, for all of us. and I have noticed something very interesting: There have been frustrations, sadness, grief, and anger. There have also been opportunities, joys, excitement, and companionship. It seems that when the deluge comes, whether it be positive or negative, we may be washed away from the plans that we have made, but the … [ read more » ]
Last time I talked about how Star Wars instilled in me at an early age the desire to make things for science-fiction films. In some other parallel timeline, that desire probably led me to Hollywood, and making a career out of it; instead, it’s just been a fascination, a hobby that I finally get to really put to use for CAUSALITY. The thing about having that desire is that it affects the way you look at the world. And once you start — you can’t stop. For one … [ read more » ]
Image Courtesy of CG4TV Animation Studio I have to face it: I have come to depend on the “future” technology that we now enjoy. I love that GPS navigation helps me hide my horrible sense of direction. It’s great that when waiting in line to check out of the grocery store, I can catch up on twitter. Don’t tell the Highway Patrol, but I’ve been known to glance at my email when driving. My new iPad has been ordered, and my 21st century “instant gratification” complex is making me extremely … [ read more » ]
