October 2012 Updates

Hey,

If you've been keeping up to date on what's been going on at Fymantics, 1) thank you, 2) no, seriously, and 3) a lot has been updated and made official. If you need a refresher, because I think I do too, here's what's been going on:

- We are now Fymantic Pictures. After our work under FilmANTic Manny, to the shorter but understated FilmANTics, we merged into one clear word, a merge and twist between the "film antics" run we've been doing lately.

- This change also gave us an opportunity to play with logo-design. This experiment made us self-analyze our priority at Fymantic. Despite our interests in making the dramatic and realistic, we also want to expand to the adventurous and artistic (creating "film antics"). With this outlook in mind, our logo played around with lines, symmetry, and just something astray from the fonts and layouts we're used to seeing. I'm really happy with the turnout.

- Obviously, the new logo has omitted my favorite little addition, the Manny the skeleton sketch. During experiments, Manny honestly did not fit in with our new appearance. While we updated his look as well as ours, it still didn't match. This doesn't mean he's out of the picture completely; he's still a part of Fymantic, a twisted but quirky representation of what our outlook is. He will still appear as a secondary logo when we think is best.

 - Ever since my run-in with Gaming4Respect, I will also be providing gaming footage and videos in collaboration with Gaming4Respect. The admins at G4R have been incredibly supportive of our work and ambitions and more than want us to write and video-edit for them. As an expanding gaming community site, this gives us a huge opportunity to show thousands what we can do.

- Why am I updating you all so late? Easy. College. And work, since I just began a new job at the local theater. This would mean I have far less time to tinker with videos, but surprisingly, I've had numerous opportunities to capture footage of events around me; between birthday parties, school events, or day-to-day little things, there's a lot of experimenting to go. When I'll manage to actually get to editing and uploading, is beyond me. But rest assured...

- We have a lot in store to show you.

In time.

- Ant
