Fully Articulated

Thanks Times 9!

A few weeks ago, a malware took Fully Articulated down, nearly wiping out nine years worth of entries. That’s all of my memories, compromised by a piece of nasty code. Had Bob Reyes not come to my rescue, it will be as if I’ve never existed at all.

Thank you, Bob, for saving my life again. And making a backup for good measure.

Now, I have a brand new blog, Joey’s gift for my ninth birthday. Uno lives on! Not only that, ManikaManila also organized a birthday meet for me at 1521 restaurant in Burgos Circle at The Fort. To everybody who came and made me feel unforgettable, thank you.

Bean sprouts!

Hello, old-timers! How long has it been since I’ve blogged? Must’ve been a while because WordPress is already prompting me to update – for the third time. That will have to wait. Time is getting shorter as Boss Bean is getting bigger. And cuter. And smarter. And I understand now more than ever why Joey continues to ignore me no matter how hard I glare at her from the Mistula Complex. She knows I can wait. Bean can’t.

Downtime!

On June 30, iDisk is going to join Steve Jobs.

iDisk will be replaced by his final gift to the world, the iCloud. While the Apple cult oohs and aahs over this technological breakthrough, we will be grumpily moving eight years worth of Fully Articulated image files out of iDisk before it meets its maker.

Things will be messy around here for a few days as we cram all the data into our dependable Mistula server and tinker with a few plugins. You can help us tidy up by letting us know if you spot bugs or broken links!

We should be back real soon, and with new faces to show you!

“See you soon.”

More trophies for Blitz and Lily!

by Uno on May 16, 2012, 10 comments

The Kidlat Awards 2012 wrapped up with two big wins for Gift of Life: a Gold for Cinematography and Silver for Viral category. Blitz and Lily are now shinier than ever.

At this year’s Adobo Design Awards, Gift of Life bagged trophies for Best Music Video and Special Award for Best Use of Music and Sound Effects. They got a bit of help from Mistula there, of course.

And guess who won over Japan, land of robots? Last April, our web film was featured on the popular Japanese morning show Zip! on Nippon TV where Blitz became an instant heartthrob.

While Mistula appeared for only two seconds in the film, we watched the entire team give life to Blitz and Lily. It was a lot of gory work that ended in glory.

Lily had to be amputated for one scene.
