A Day at Gaijin Studios

I mentioned last week that I was finally getting to a project I'm pretty excited about, and while I don't want to give away too much in the way of details, I can tell you this much: interviews for the pilot episode of a new show I've cooked up with my co-producer, the talented and award-winning Will Payne (also late of GameTap/Turner Broadcasting), were shot last Thursday at the offices of Gaijin Studios, one of the premiere creative studios in the comic book industry. Here's Will and I with Cully Hamner (center), the comic book artist best known for the new Blue Beetle at DC Comics and the mini-series Red with writer Warren Ellis, which was recently optioned for a film:
Cully and his studio-mates - Brian Stelfreeze, Laura Martin, Tony Shasteen, and Doug Wagner - kindly allowed us to invade their space for a day, and they really couldn't have been more gracious if they tried. Here's what I can tell you about the pilot: it was shot in HD, and we had a jib arm, allowing for some really smooth camera shots. I think it's going to look great, and it's definitely going to be interesting. More will be revealed as the project comes together.
