This update I have no progress to update except for the new 3.0 quality.  This update is about PIP 3.0.  What is that exactly?  Well, allow me to tell you.

I'll start with talking about PIP 1.0.  PIP 1.0 is when Pissed Iguana Productions (PIP) made videos in LOW quality.  Examples of PIP 1.0 quality are Spartans Versus Beanies: Seasons 1-5 (non-reanimated), Jurassic Prick (non-reanimated), and Elites Versus Spartans.  The jokes may have been funny, but the writing was terrible, and often had the words "anyways", and rambling dialog that could have easily been summed up in about 5 times less dialog.  The camera used was so blurry that you couldn't even make out the faces, the audio quality was so muffled and crappy that every character sounded very similar and it was difficult to tell who was talking at times.  PIP 1.0 lasted for about a year and a half.  Then 2006 came.

In 2006, Mr. Frank Moucatel of Mystic Powers Productions introduced me to after effects and chroma keying.  I taught myself how to use Sony Vegas and learned how to use effects in there.   Afterward, I got a new camera.  I upgraded from a 1 megapixel (terrible camera) to a 7 megapixel (muchhhhh better).  The microphone on the camera was much better also, which added to the increase in quality.  This stage of development, I refer to as PIP 2.0.  Examples of movies made during this stage are Ninja Turtles vs. Primal Rage, Schmucks of War: Season 1, and Spartans Versus Beanies: Season 6.  The writing in this stage was also upgraded to the next level.  You noticed increases in quality of dialog and story, and massive leaps in the joke quality.

When we got the new HIGH DEFINITION microphone at the end of Spartans Versus Beanies: Season 6, we were upgraded to PIP 2.5, because the audio was in "3.0 mode" but the visuals, effects, and writing quality were still in "2.0 mode" so to speak.  After the mic, a few months later I purchased a $500 HD camera, which brought us up to PIP 2.75.  Examples to PIP 2.75 are SVB: Reanimated episodes 1 and 2.  But we still weren't quite up to PIP 3.0 because the effects and writing were still in 2.0 mode.

I am proud to announce that Pissed Iguana Productions is finally upgraded to it's full 3.0 mode. I purchased a product that has brought our special effects to 3.0 standards.  It is called action essentials 2 by video copilot.  They are high definition, and realistic as hell!  A "must have" for any aspiring video maker.  You can check it out to see if you would like to buy it HERE.  And please, do not pirate the effects, because they are worth every penny!  Some examples of new effects will be: Spartans Versus Beanies Episodes 3-30, and Season 7 and on.  Also, Jurassic Prick: Reanimated will have 3.0 effects. So, those of you who cannot wait to see the new effects in action, they will be presented for the first time, in SVB: Episode 3.  Coming soon.  I have been perfecting my writing styles and they are finally up to 3.0 standards.  You will not see evidence of this until Schmucks of War:

Season 2, Spartans Versus Beanies: Season 7, and other future movies.  You won't see much evidence of this in Reanimated Jurassic Prick or Spartans Versus Beanies because the stories have to stay similar to the old writing style.  But when Season 7 of SVB comes along, you will see MANY examples of the 3.0 writing style.  There are MANY interweaving story arches and so many things happening in Season 7.  The only thing I am afraid of, is that the viewers won't be able to handle it! haha.

That is all I have in store for you today, but next weekend when I am back from my vacation to Buffalo, NY to see my family, I will update the website and have some awesome stuff for you!  I promise!

So stay safe, and stay tuned!
