Introducing Isaac James

Isaac James was born 12 days early on June 12 at 9:00 am. He was 8 lb 14 oz and 20 3/4 in long. We are all so excited to have him in our family! Avery loves being a big sister and wants to hold her brother constantly! Brian loves having a son and mommy is ecstatic to no longer be pregnant!

Please note: old site atlas-enterprises.net is GONE

Just to let you know, my old website www.atlas-enteprises.net will no longer be continued. For the past year or two, it has redirected to my new website, www.atlasprodutionz.com, but now I will no longer be paying to have it hosted.

This means that if you have links to movies, cheat codes, etc that have the old website link, they will no longer work. BUT, all my movies, codes, FAQs are on my new website so just redirect your shortcuts there!

Just FYI.

New Movie's Cancelled. It's already being produced!

Well, the script that my husband and I have been writing for a year (that we just finished) is already being produced into a Hollywood blockbuster.

Yep, here is what OUR story was about. http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/17again/

We had no idea about this movie until today. I guess in some ways it's a complement that we wrote a story good enough to be made into a real movie. But it's also very frustrating that we got beat to the punch. We don't feel it's worth making our movie because it will come out AFTER this one is released in the theaters, and everyone would think we just copied it! The similarity is too extreme for anyone to think anything else.

SO...back to the drawing board. :(

No Sims 3 for Me

Personally, I'm completely dreading the release of The Sims 3. As a movie maker, it will be YEARS before Sims 3 has caught up to where we are now with Sims 2. Making movies will be thrown back to the stone age! I'm also afraid that all the focus will go to the Sims 3, and new custom content, hacks, and mods will stop being created for Sims 2.

From what I've seen, I don't feel like The Sims 3 is different enough from 2 to change over yet. The difference from Sims 1 to 2 was so extreme that it was like getting an entire new game! But this time the differences will mostly benefit game play (like the new neighborhood function) but not movie making. I know game play is the main purpose, but for us movie makers the release of the Sims 3 will only hurt (for awhile). Plus, on a side note, I don't like the way the new sims look! I think they look weird and almost LESS realistic - in their faces at least.

Anyway, that's my opinion and rant about the Sims 3. I know a lot of movie makers who aren't planning on switching, but I know many who are as well. I sincerely hope that the Sims 2 doesn't fade away into obscurity and that people will still enjoy watching Sims 2 movies! I'm still planning to release one this summer!!

Well, I did make a new movie...

...but it's not the one I posted about before. This is a short promotional video promoting my and a partner's business, Pro Clips Online (www.proclipsonline.com)

It's called "The Zinternet." It's funky and fun; go check it out!

Or go see it smaller on my website www.proclipsonline.com It's embedded on the Profile page.

Movie Delayed...

I'm sad to report that our upcoming movie is going to be delayed. In addition to having major computer problems (my old one broke and the new one I got turned out to be a lemon, so I had to get ANOTHER new one), I've actually been getting a lot of work for my Memories Media business as well as my ProClipsOnline biz. So I've been working, just not on my movie!

I still plan on releasing it, though, so don't give up on me. :) Within the next two weeks, I'll have a new music video posted on the Promo Video page of my Atlas Productionz website. It will be called "Hydrogen Highway" and I'm producing it for someone who is trying to sell their song to an auto company.

So that's the update.

New Co-Business and Website!

Great news! It's a long story, but I met someone online who wants to partner with me making machinima promo videos!

He gets the clients, writes the scripts, and I film the movies! I'm so excited for this venture!

Please check out our new site: http://www.proclipsonline.com/ (I built the site)

A new promo video (for OUR site) will be posted on the site sometime late this week or early next week. Stay tuned!
