Episode 2 – Production Notes 1
Our servers didn’t explode over the weekend and we’ve compiled a list of all the great feedback so we’re ready to do it again.
Saturday was the pre-shoot meeting where we kicked around ideas, finalized the segments list, and wrote up the production schedule. There are so many great ideas it’s hard to choose which ones to do first.
Today we put together the set, acquired more lighting gear, and shot a mod with Wess. I even learned a very important lesson about not touching soldering irons! 
Behind the scenes at Hak.5. We still need to get a pro lighting set and replace the aging mixer.
Wess got down and dirty with his next mod, nailing almost everything on the first take.
I got a little friendly with the soldering iron. Mental note, no touchy!
We’re going to try to finish one segment a day this week. The production schedule for this episode is really tight as I’ll be in Alaska by the end of the month. If all goes well I’ll have all next week to edit and encode. If you’ve got some links that would help me get the Xvid looking better, or the Quicktime in H.264 to share it would save me some googling next week.

Yes…NO TOUCHY! It was pretty sick to hear your skin sizzle…
Episode 1 was great. The cellphone light control was cool. Keep up the good work.
Excellent! I cant wait to see what this new episode has inside.
Kick Ass show guys!!…and gal! Nice first episode. I love the command prompt preview between takes. I hope Leo, Patrick, Kevin and the rest of the TWiTs had a chance to see this!
Keep it up!
BTW…you should add a webcam so peeps can see when they’re turning your light on and off. Are you going to add anything else that can be manipulated?
Thanks for the feedback. I tried to email the Twits but the only address I could find was the questions@twit.tv. Anyway, if they check that address they may have seen the sneak preview. If not, I hope they check it out sometime. I talked to Leo on KFI about bandwidth for the show about a week before launch. I can post an MP3 if anyone is interested.
And I think someone has been hacking into the Hak.5 server and looking at furute show notes. All I can say is, if you likes Ep1, you’ll love Ep2.

That’s where I heard about your show…on Leo’s KFI podcast from one day in July or maybe it was the one live show I’ve heard from last Saturday. I’ll be posting about your show on the Fantastic Forum (http://www.fantasticforum.com/1res/index.php) in a second here…you’ll probably get about a couple dozen more regulars after I do that. How long til the next episode? You probably have it posted here somewhere but I didn’t see it.

I messed up my comment on the other one. But what I was going to say was, next time use the cold heat sodering iron.
