Wonderful article Bill. I have had the privilege of watching you work up close and personal. I know how hard you work to create. Your heart and soul are in all those machinimas you have created for the enjoyment of others. “Hina Matsuri”, “Home’s Forgotten Spaces” and “Heavenly Bodies” just to name a few. You strive for perfection, how hard you worked to get that eclispe to look real as possible in “Heavenly Bodies”. You once said to me ” If you reach one person that enjoys what you have created that is gold”.

Bill, I have had the pleasure of being in a couple of your videos and I know the work they take. Maybe that is why I keep to writing. I know your work represents hard work and a vision that does indeed have to fit a specific set of rules to be shown in the EOD, but you do an excellent job, and yes thank you for reminding people that it is not easy as breathing, but what endeavor is really? Keep up the work Bill, few people have the patience, knowledge and ability to do it like you. Look forward to seeing more creations that I know will be great.

WOW Bill!

First, it’s been a while, but I can see you are doing well.

Secondly, this article is awesome and it made me feel emotion. I am proud of you and how far you have come. I love the way you write and the way you feel about Home. The way you try to bring your ideas across in your machinima.

I appreciate the fact that you want people to know that it’s not easy. There IS a lot of work that goes into this. It’s just not 1, 2, 3 and it’s done. It can wear on us when our ideas are not coming out the way we intend… while creating an expression or thought… in an article, film or video. It can wear on us! It can effect us in our real life while pondering on how we are trying to get our point across. It takes extra mental effort to get it accomplished. But when it does, it is special. It is rewarding. It brings a type of happiness. (Almost like a musician when playing on stage-wanting our audience to understand our lyrics and get off on our music). It can be exhausting until we are satisfied enough to be ready to publish it or when we finally get our positive feedback from our viewers. Like opening a gift, then reaping the present.

All in all, don’t stop doing what you love Bill. You are special at it.
