Working Vacation

After wrapping Red vs. Blue Season 4, everyone thought it would be a good idea to take a short break from production and recharge the creative batteries. However, once the break started, a couple of really interesting opportunities came up and that kind of got thrown by the wayside. So, we went back in the studio to produce some really cool stuff. I mean, what better way to spend our vacation than by producing videos? We so rarely get a chance to do that. ;)

The first cool thing was the chance to do a more "serious" Halo machinima mini-series on the Xbox 360, but you already know about that. The second cool thing hasn't been mentioned on the site yet, but if you watched a certain sporting event recently, you've already seen it. Back in May, we were asked to direct the television commercials for the summer EA Sports releases. The first spot, for NCAA 2007 featuring Reggie Bush, aired for the first time a few nights ago during the MLB All-Star Game. There will be more spots for more games airing in the future, hopefully we'll get some warning before they hit the airwaves and we can let you know about them in advance. In the meantime, you can look for them in the Rooster Teeth video archive.

Also, we're going to be at ComicCon this week, so if you're going, be sure to come by and see us. Gus, Geoff, Jason, Burnie, Kath, Yomary and I should all be there. Plus a couple of dudes in red and blue armor should be making an appearance.

With OoM production wrapping up this week, our event calendar winding down and the commercial stuff coming to end, I guess we'll just have to go back to doing what we do best -- making goofy machinima videos for the net. We're looking forward to it.

One last thing, you have may noticed or been annoyed by or been in withdrawal because of the recent site outages. Gus assures us that these temporary growing pains will be well worth it when the site hardware upgrade is complete in a few days. Thanks for sticking with us.
