Making of DOMO

I love to see the behind the scene of just about every production.  Stop motion animation is so wonderful because it’s almost as if a toy has come to life.  Here’s a video of some of the production of the Target Halloween Domo video.

Greetings from the HoloNet

Writing by Spencer on Friday, 3 of October , 2008 at 8:18 am

Another interesting development with the Clone Wars Series and the online comics is a little button labeled “Podcast”.  My first thought was that the guys at The Force-Cast just lost their jobs, but it wasn’t to be.  This Podcast is actually set up to be a type of Radio Drama that takes place within the Star Wars Universe.

Here’s some info about the HoloNet from the Star Wars wiki page Wookieepedia “The HoloNet was a near-instantaneous communications network commissioned by the Galactic Senate to provide a free flow of hologram and other communications among member worlds.”  Pablo Hidalgo is the manager of Online, Editorial for the Star Wars sites.  I think that he had worked on a website that was called the HoloNet News.  It was like a newspaper for the daily goings on in that Galaxy far far away.  He reciently announced that it would be coming back.

The thing that I like the most about this is that it’s set up to sound like it was all real.  You can listen to the first HoloNet report here.

Tonight is the beginning of the new Clone Wars Television series.  The series kicks off with 2 episodes titled “Ambush” and “Rising Malevolence”.  They are going to be supporting these episodes with Online Comics. The current comic is set to take place just before the episode “Ambush”.  You can see it here.
