The past few weeks have been filled with exciting developments and episode 5 production so lets break it down.

I’m very happy to say that the last segment for episode 5 was just shot and edited. The only thing left at this point is the “glue”, which we’re saving for this weekend. We’ll shoot the last bits on Friday the 2nd, finish up the timeline and start up those encoding boxes.

Then Saturday the 3rd we’re hosting the techPhile podcast with Frank Linhares LIVE on the set of Hak.5. Head over to techphile.ca for details.

Of course we release episode 5 on December 5th, so join us in #hak5 on irc.techphile.ca for all the release party shenanigans.

Then we head up to Toronto for the meetup on the 15th. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks let me clarify. Our indefatigable buddy Frank Linhares has organized the TechTV Holiday Meetup. The guest list includes Call for Help, commandN, Security Now, The Lab Rats, techPhile, WASD.tv, Major Geeks, and the PixelCorp’s Alex Lindsay. Registration and more details can be found over at TechTVHolidayMeetup.com.

And now for the screenshots hot off the post production box:

If you look really hard you can see my reflection in the arcade

Harrison is up to no good again…

I’m not sure how either of us kept a straight face through this segment

As you can see the set is really starting to take shape. And for once we’re not squeezed into frame now that we have a nice wide angle lens. And finally, after 5 episodes of complaining we have wireless mics… For half of the segments at least.
