MY NEXT GRAPHIC NOVEL COMING END OF 2008 WORLDWIDE

Finally finished my first graphic Novel project almost two years in the making " The Unknown " . With having established my self publishing company now BIONIC UNIT Media and Publishing, there is a lot more coming down the pipeline . . . the next project I already started working on is the second Graphic Novel called " The Other Side " a psychological action thriller. Also a few more will be announced very soon : ) Here is the wip website for my next project " The Other Side "
This Graphic Novel is going to contain some images related to the story, but not a full on art book like " The Unknown " project. I will fully paint this book, digital paintings of scenes, characters and environments. I am excited to put the synopsis up there soon, and share it with the rest of the world. I ma working on this non-stop right now, and hopefully it will be out right after 2008 Summer and again for sure at Amazon.com
You can already pre-order " " The Unknown " Graphic Novel and save a lot of money, especially considering this book being filled with over 150 pages of artwork.

Be back soon with more updates on the next two project I am developing and producing.

Sony 24P HVR-H1U HDV camcorder announced

Here is the Camera I am planning on buying to start shooting for fun. Sony has announced a true 24P camcorder aimed at professionals. Going the HVX-200 route, you can record simultaneously to tape and/or an attachable hard-disk recording unit (HVR-DR60). The DR60 also has a 14-second buffer which will record 14-seconds up until the user presses the record button. That sounds handy. Other features of this new camcorder include:

• A timecode preset function
• A TC Link to synchronize time codes
• Two XLR microphone inputs for independent sound recording
• A Camera Profile feature to adjust the camera settings of multiple cameras for multi-camera operations using MemoryStick Duo™ media
• A 3.5-inch (viewable area, measured diagonally) Clear Photo LCD plus™ viewing screen
