Remembering a Friend: Tomas Rosenfeldt
On Feb 11, 2003, Rhythm & Hues Studios received a company wide email from it's president, Mr. Hughes. Time stopped, and a massive amount of forwarding reached every company in the industry with the news of what was said. The letter read as follows.

Picture Your Dreams
Have you made goals yet for this year? The few of us who actually write down their goals are likely to file them away in a drawer and never look at them again. An alternative to this is to create a dream board, which is a bold, visual representation of your goals and what's important to you. Hang your dream board in a spot where you will see it every day and it will remind you of your priorities–personal, professional, artistic, altruiustic-- and inspire you to achieve them..

Newkat Studios Introduces RenderKat
After one year and three months of a "no-coffee" policy, I am now back to grinding beans every hour. The reason is we are now entering a new phase of NewKat Studios. We are starting to release products. Our first product is RenderKat, a render distribution and management software which distributes renders and compositing tasks across a network of computers. We thought that RenderKat's approach to a common step for computer artists would be a good way to introduce our creative minds to the commercial software market.

GAME REVIEW: Panzer Dragoon Orta
Last year at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo), I was amazed when I played the Panzer Dragoon Orta demo at Xbox's booth. Riding a huge dragon, shooting down bizarre creatures, fighting in a 360 degree environment…I thought Panzer was truly going to be the next new innovative game. Little did I know, Panzer Dragoon Orta is Sega's fourth installment of the legendary saga. The original Panzer Dragoon was released for the Sega Saturn in 1995, and was soon followed by Panzer Zwei and Panzer Saga. The game was quite popular among the hardcore gaming community; however, it never really got any mainstream attention.

GAME REVIEW: Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA)
Way before Buffy hit the movie theaters (yes, it was a movie before it was a TV show), the Belmont family had been ripping the minions of Dracula into shreds for generations. Various incarnations of Castlevania have come and gone; each quite successful and it has gained a strong following since the first incarnation on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). Now it has been rewarded with a second foray into the Game Boy Advance. So pack your whip, this is a big castle.

MOVIE REVIEW: Daredevil
As with Hollywood, they can’t seem to let go of the current big budget comic book trend. They tried with the ever-mediocre Superman series. Then they seemed to go the campy route with the ill fated Captain America and Fantastic Four (ugh). The Crow did seem to draw my attention to a serious comic flick, but it was Batman that really caught my eye. However, with all the big name stars outshining something as important as STORY, I lost all respect in Batman.
