Should be renamed to "monthly" updates eh? Well, sorry for the long wait, I know its been killing all of our fans out there. I can tell you that we have been busy with not only this project, but with our lives and exams (I don't finish until Tuesday actually). So, onto the content!
As many of you already know, Mcdoogleh has been hard at work with our CG ends of our project. We are now picking up again on production on Episode 2, but you've heard that before right? Well, in this update we've decided to answer some questions (and provide some of our own) to share with the public. The following interviews may express each individual's opinions and are not endorsed by any means by Apocalyspe Films or Lordstemplar1.

So, do you see “Prophecy” turning out to be a huge success such as titles like RVB and the Codex?
A: As long as we can keep our cameramen, I think Prophecy can be just as big as RVB or the Codex.
What motivations led you to pursue the machinima world along side your friends?
A: After I had watched the Codex, I realized that this would be a big challenge and a lot of fun.
What significant job do you have in all this?
A: According to Lordstemplar1 I am Assistant XBL Production Manager, which basically basically means, I do all the yelling and booting if people don’t like to listen.
What character(s) do you play in the series?
A: I play Lieutenant Colonel Wharton in Prophecy.
Do you enjoy your role as _____? Why so (describe character)?
A: I love my role because, I do. My character is based on a real soldier fighting in Iraq, so it’s my little way of saying thanks to our troops out there.
What other activities do you enjoy besides shooting film (and people) online?
A: Yelling at the people I shoot at and then calling them nub cakes. (Nub Cakes is a Registered slogan of LudicrousVision.)
When can we expect the long-awaited Episode 2?!?
A: You can expect Episode 2 before you hit the age of 74.
Animations Director-Mcdoogleh
What led you to join the conspiracy of “Prophecy”?
A: Conspiracy? What conspiracy? *Talks to his monkey* Oh right, I joined because I saw the first episode and fortunately for Lordstemplar I liked episode one, so I joined in.
What does your department do specifically?
A: I animate most of the CG parts for Prophecy, I.E the space parts.
How many hours/ minutes have you logged for the project thus far?
A: I think about a month and half. Right now, nearly have one CG scene ready to go, one that you will see soon, and one that I haven’t even started yet!
How long have you been animating?
A: I have been animating for about 3 months, starting with some simple ships then I got inspired by Major.Dump’s and Laird’s animation work and I decided I should learn to animate like that.
What is the hardest part of your job and why?
A: If the scene requested for the plot is complicated (Which it has been) I.E Space battles, explosions and stuff are the hardest part.
What kind of space battles can we expect from you and your talents?
A: I would probably expect something that you would enjoy, perhaps even look cool like many ships firing at each other and a CENSORED from CENSORED, but definitely, you can expect ALOT of slipspace and some action.
What would be your most favorite scene you will be rendering and why?
A: It would probably be either the space battle that I am doing or the CENSORED from CENSORED because I learned a lot from both of those scenes, in fact any Thermopylae scenes will be my favorite.
Well there you have it. Two interviews with two key producers from the epic project itself. Aside from this, I would also like to share some bad news... Final Cut Pro pulled a fast one on me and literally passed away (taking 90GB of my HD along with it). So, all my work on the Blossoming Saga Trailer as well as Episode 2 have been deleted. No worries though, I did keep a backup template on my iMovie HD 6 application, so all that needs to be redone is the trailer itself. That about covers it for this week. Stay tuned for next week for some new screenshots and two more interview specials. I will be closing this week's update with two pieces of concept art that I promised. One piece, entitled Earth's Defenders based solely on the Halo universe itself. The other, however, is a piece from the Prophecy universe, depicting the aftermath of a battle, with Lance Corporal Mitchell of the Rangers Divison, strolling through the post battle carnage (Update: A colored version will be posted soon). Until next time, peace out!
