Hello folks. This coming weekend TMUnderground is holding 3 days of events starting on Friday the 19th with Ben Tuttles's IClone Film School. Previous episodes of Ben's series have covered cinematography, Blender Basics and Iclone 101 topics. Directly following Ben's show Macwemyss and myself will be presenting our favorite TMU movies from 2015. Then on Saturday the 20th there will be a live premier of The Great TMU Movie. This 85 minute movie tells the past present and future of TMU and was made using Iclone, CTA, Muvizu and Moviestorm with contributions from over 40 TMU members. Finally on Sunday, Ken, Monk and Roger will get the gang back together again for the 10th TMOA Radio anniversary. The chat rooms should be jumping with members old and new. It will be a good opportunity to get involved, get motivated and see what folks are up to. I hope to see you there.

More details will be added to this thread as the week progresses.


The new TMUnderground movie site is currently in beta at http://beta2.movies.tmunderground.com/ and should go live this week. Signing up in beta will carry over to the live site. You can access the TMU forums at http://forum.tmunderground.com.

PS. TMU would Love to see more muvizu movies on our site!

If you have been a TMU member you may have received an email today about the recent changes and upgrades. I will post it here for those who did not.

"Ten years ago, the TMOA/TMUnderground community was born.


Now, as we begin our second decade, we've made changes to revitalize the community. We have new forum software, new movie site software, an integrated community chatroom, live video and audio programming, cloud storage for our members, and more. Let me briefly tell you about some of the changes, and invite you to our "Weekend of TMU" beginning February 19th, 2016.


The new forums: We've moved from vBulletin to IPBoards. Your existing forum username/password will get you in, and all of the threads and posts from the past 7 and a half years are there. IPBoards has a lot of nice features, and is quite an improvement over vBulletin.


New movie site software: After 7 and a half years, our Sharemixer video script was showing it's age, so we've moved to KVS. KVS is a modern video platform, using HTML5 to stream video. You can watch your favorite TMU films and new releases on any device - computer, phone, tablet. All videos, comments, PMs, friend list, etc. have been brought into KVS, and your existing movie site username/password will get you in. We've only had KVS running for a week and a half, and the formatting and interface are still works in progress, but we plan to concentrate on the movie site after the "Weekend of TMU".


Chatroom: Gone is the old Flashchat chat room we ran during TMOA shows. We're now running an chatroom that is integrated with our forum user database. If you log into the forum and click the Chat button on the navigation bar, you will automatically be logged into the full-featured chat. Like the video site, the chat is HTML5, so you can chat on computer, phone, or tablet without issue. No flash. No java. Just chat.


Live programming: We've revamped the TMOA interface, with an HTML5 player that will work on any device. More importantly, we've added live video streaming to TMU, and plan to host special live events (such as the "Weekend of TMU") and regular live community events like movie nights and director retrospectives moving forward.


Cloud storage: TMUCloud is now integrated into the site, which lets you easily upload and share files, embed screenshots in forum posts, etc.


With all that said, we're officially kicking things off (call it our Grand Reopening) with a "Weekend of TMU".

Whew, Day one is in the books. Good times were had with BenTuttle and the Boys in their Google Hangout FIlm School session. Then the Favorites of 2015 Show went over well after some minor technical issues and the chat room was a rollicking good time. It was a marathon movie watching session as we strolled through roughly 3 hours of TMU movies. So, whats in store for today?

  • An encore presentation of theBiz and Macwemyss's Favorite TMU films of 2015. 12:45pm Eastern, 9:45am Pacific, 6:45pm GMT.
  • The live premiere of The Great TMU Movie, a look at the past, present, and future of the TMOA/TMU community, with contributions from more than 40 TMU members. 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific, 9pm GMT.


So if you missed the good times last night we are running that beat back. Watch our 2015 favorites and then settle in for "The Great TMU Movie" at 4pm EST. Hope to see you folks there!
