Episode 3 - Production Notes 4 & Teaser

September 26, 2005

The teaser for episode 3 has been posted to the episodes page! I’ve added some geek-funny from Ep3 to the end. Let us know what you think.

If you haven’t already, head over to the Techphile podcast and listen to the interview Frank did with Wess and I about Hak.5; it was just released last night. Thanks Mike!

Production is going great! We’re just about done with episode 3 with only one more segment to shoot. Saturday we spent about 16 hours programming and shooting the final segment as well as a homebrew hack, but then the sun came up and the crew started to fall over exhausted. We’ll get that segment done this weekend, stitch it all together, and spend a day or two watching the progress bar on the H.264 encode :).


Jon joins me in an awesome homebrew hack.


Wess gets really pissed at me in the middle of an additional mod segment

With 9 more days until Episode 3 release we’re all in full gear getting this thing together. Running time is looking a little longer than the previous two, with I believe 12 segments. There’s a lot to be excited about here at Hak.5. Thanks go to Frank for the interview, the cast for putting up with a 16 hour shooting day, and Mike for mentioning us on Command-N, that was uber-leet. We can’t wait to get this thing out the door, party, and start working on an even better Episode 4!

    Hey guys, QuickTime is pretty good for a iPod compatible version, but I would also try Videora iPod Converter (www.videora.com) it works pretty well for both H.264 and MP4, make sure you use 320X240, 768kpps, 128k audio. Looking Forward to it!
