Hey there all you Covenant Underground viewers/members, after quite a long time without having an active forum, The Crossfire Crew Forum has now reopened its doors here on Covenant Underground!  You can find the link on the navigation bar on the top of the site.  Feel free to drop by, sign up, and chat with other people in the community and most of all, have fun!

Click Here to go to the Forums!

For those of you who are unsure about what the Crossfire Crew (CFC) Forum is, then here’s a quick summary:  The Crossfire Crew is a community of artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and more who share a common interest in the works that they do.  It started off as a forum based on the two sprite comics, Crossfire and Sonic Logic, but then grew to be its own entity.  So go on, join up and meet people who will help you with your own projects and have some great conversations with folks!

In other news, still working hard on a few new machinima ideas; sort of slowed by school (midterms) and some other things, but rest assured, they’ll get done!

Yessir! Haven’t posted anything in a god awful amount of time, huh? Well, hopefully that’ll change soon. I know I’ve posted that a bunch saying new content was always on its way, but alas, I never had quite the motivation to do it all. Well, this time is hopefully that time. I’ve been perfecting some really awesome custom animation utilizing motion capture with the Kinect (and the ability to record in full 1080p HD), so my movies will have a pop that would really make ‘em come to life (and stand out).

I don’t have a huge amount rendered for y’all, but I do have a screenshot of the logo. This video will mainly just show off the animation and will be the signature quirky story and writing that you people reading this obviously know.

Alright, see ya’ in a week or so!

So, if you haven’t been happy with the amount of content we’ve been producing on this site, be prepared to eat those non-happy thoughts because starting now we’re planning on getting some great movies out to you fine folks on the internets! And it starts tonight, with our award-winning film, The Refrigerator Genie, starring the award-winning actor Matthew Acevedo as the genie and Josh Jones as the hungry guy. The reason I keep saying “award-winning” is because this video was recently created for and entered into the Campus Movie Fest 2011 and won Best Actor, but was nominated for Best Comedy and Best Picture! Enjoy!

The Refrigerator Genie

On a quest to find a snack, one young man discovers something greater than himself inside his refrigerator.

Created by Shady Fox Films at San Diego State University in 2011 as part of Campus MovieFest, the world’s largest student film festival.

Winner of Best Actor 2011 for SDSU, and featuring several tracks provided by Killertracks.com!

And if you’re interested in helping us possibly go to Hollywood, watch the video again here and spread that link around!

New Team Fortress 2 machinima! (Well, it’s a few weeks old, but heck, haven’t posted it, so it’s still new). Anyways, I’m still in the process of changing things up, adding/removing other things, and working on some purchasable T-Shirts and the likes, until some new machinimas and movies come your way, enjoy this!
