A nice little surprise was awaiting me when I arrived to the Internets for work this morning!

After a bit of an interval since the last installment, the newest episode of the amazing webseries “Modern War Gear Solid” by the guys at Beat Down Boogie has final been released.

Not having been a gamer for a few years now, I don’t claim to be an expert in the content that they’re parodying, but what I do know is that these guys created a funny, high-quality production on a shoe string budget, a handful of equipment and buckets of talent. (For my European readers ,”shoestrings”, “handfuls” and “buckets” do indeed have metric equivalents, but I don’t know how to convert at the moment, so you’ll just have to do the math.)

Last Fall, I was invited to contribute to this project, and I got to witness the behind-the-scenes for some of the stuff that is actually presented in this episode. I’m just now getting into film making and I have to say that watching these guys at work has been an inspiration to me.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to have participated in a small way on this project. In addition to the promotional posters they created a little while back, you can see my work incorporated into the closing credits of this newest episode – the character portraits were done by me on set on one of the last days of filming.

Be sure to watch the episode all the way through to the end of the final credits, so you can get a look at the names and faces of all the folks who put this series together.
Thanks again to Blake, Micah and all the other talented people responsible for this project! It was a pleasure and an honor working with you!
