Hello folks, this coming weekend TMUnderground is holding 3 days of events starting on Friday the 19th with Ben Tuttles's IClone Film School.  Previous episodes of Ben's series have covered cinematography, Blender Basics and Iclone 101 topics.  Directly following Ben's show Macwemyss and myself will be presenting our favorite TMU movies from 2015 of which there are many Iclone selections.  Then on Saturday the 20th there will be a live premier of The Great TMU Movie.  This 85 minute movie tells the past present and future of TMU and was made using Iclone, CTA, Muvizu and Moviestorm with contributions from over 40 TMU members.  Finally on Sunday, Ken, Monk and Roger will get the gang back together again for the 10th TMOA Radio anniversary.  The chat rooms should be jumping with members old and new.  It will be a good opportunity to get involved, get motivated and see what folks are up to.  I hope to see you there.

More details will be added to this thread as the week progresses.



The new TMUnderground movie site is currently in beta at http://beta2.movies.tmunderground.com/ and should go live this week.  Signing up in beta will carry over to the live site.  You can access the TMU forums at http://forum.tmunderground.com/

Just one day till the festivities begin.  Excitement is building but questions remain....Just whats with all those glasses?  Find out Friday when Macwemyss and I talk about our favorite TMU movies of 2015!



I will add links and times today or tomorrow so stay tuned!

Are there any provisions that listeners have to be aware of? Things like being registered with TMU. It used to also be the case that a separate registration was required for the chat room. Will there be a chat room? I haven't tuned in for a while so things have probably changed.

Hi Animagic,
I pretty sure you do not need to be logged in to watch the live feed or the radio broadcast.  The chatroom has been updated but I dont remember if you have to log in there or not (and whether that login is tied to the TMU login).  Ill try to research it today and give a definitive answer.  

BenTuttle's Iclone Film School tonight (6pm EST) should be of particular interest to many Iclone/CT/CTA users as it is concerned with voice overs.  How to get them (how and where to cast parts), how to clean them and I believe he will be going over basic sound design as well.  Then at 8pm EST we will be looking at our favorite TMU movies of 2015.  There are a whole lot of great Iclone movies ion there.  Hope to see a lot you good folks there. .

Ken just sent out an email which details many of the recent changes and improvements at TMU (and addresses Animagics chatroom question).  If you have been a member of TMU you may have received this email today.  For others I will repost it here:

"Ten years ago, the TMOA/TMUnderground community was born.

Whew, day one is in the books.  Good times were had with BenTuttle and the Boys in their Google Hangout FIlm School session.  Then the Favorites of 2015 Show went over well after some minor technical issues and the chat room was a rollicking good time.  It was a marathon movie watching session as we strolled through roughly 3 hours of TMU movies.  So, whats in store for today?

• An encore presentation of theBiz and Macwemyss's Favorite TMU films of 2015. 12:45pm Eastern, 9:45am Pacific, 6:45pm GMT.
• The live premiere of The Great TMU Movie, a look at the past, present, and future of the TMOA/TMU community, with contributions from more than 40 TMU members. 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific, 9pm GMT.

So if you missed the good times last night we are running that beat back.  Watch our 2015 favorites and then settle in for "The Great TMU Movie" at 4pm EST.  Hope to see you folks there!

Okay, and we're down to the final day of the Weekend of TMU.

And it's the TMOA 10th Anniversary Show!

What will we have?

Well, we'll have original host Roger for the FULL five hours. We'll have Monk for the FULL five hours. Of course, you'll have Me for the FULL five hours. RPOShard will be there in the later part of the show with his annual Oscar predictions.

And we'll have guests! Jase180 plans to sit in for a while. Chris62 says he'd like to come in for a bit. In the third hour, we hope to have the Wolf and Dulci reunion (according to Dulci, they haven't spoken since their final show....talk about awkward!) And I'm sure we'll have some other folks who will volunteer or be dragged from the chat room to dance and sing for your entertainment pleasure.

Plus lots of other stuff you haven't heard in a long time - perhaps...a decade.

It all begins at 2 pm Eastern, 1 pm Central, 11 am Pacific, and 7 pm GMT. To listen, click the radio tab at the top of the page. Start the stream. Then, as that builds the aural frenzy in your ears, click the chat tab, and come on in! If you're logged into the forum, it will automagically log you in. If not, just login with your forum stuff, or come in as a guest and put your name in so we know who you are. We are making a list and checking it twice.

Ten years! Had I known what was to come, I would have walked into the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and waited until the waves closed over my head and I gently drifted away.

But I didn't know. So here we all are. And I'll see you all there, at the show.

Ken

Hi biz ...

it was a great weekend and I loved to be there. You all did a very good job and you guys celeberated this event as it should be.

Greetings, Direx

Thanks a lot for the kind words Rene.  We had a lot of fun on all three days and had a great turnout.  Lots of fun in the chatroom and everyone was jazzed to see you there.  Hoping to have a lot more fun soon!  Stay tuned.
