And here is the second part of our Australian odyssey! This time we visited the Australian countryside in search of some shooting locations we didn’t yet have, and a wilderness of a different variety – that of 15 000 scifi and fantasy fans in Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Sydney.

Uwe Boll on moon Nazis
July 30th, 2010 by Jarmo PuskalaTimo just got back from the Grossmann Film & Wine Festival held in Ljutomer, Slovenia. There he ran into the notoriuous Uwe Boll so he had to ask his opinion on Moon Nazis.
I posted the video to our Facebook page and the comments keep rolling in. It’s amazing how everyone seems to have an opinion about Uwe Boll. Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned, even though it’s actually been quite a while since Uwe has made a truly bad film.
What, you don’t believe that previous sentence? Check the reviews for “Rampage” on iMDB and prepare to shit bricks.

Iron Sky Signal #12 – Iron Sky Goes Australia Part I
July 26th, 2010 by Janos HonkonenIf you are an active follower of our blog, you’ve probably already read about our June escapades in Australia, where we went to meet our local production team and to handle a whole lot of practical stuff about our shootings Down Under. If not, you can start from here. If the moving picture is more of your thing, here’s something for you – a brand new Iron Sky Signal about the first half of our trip to Australia! This time you’ll see us explore what will probably be our studio, find some shooting locations, and spend a day out encountering Australian wildlife up close and personal.

Iron Sky & Wreckamovie at Finncon
July 12th, 2010 by Jarmo Puskala
A rare picture of Emperor Pirk on holiday at the 2007 Finncon in Jyväskylä.
Finncon 2010 starts next Friday in Jyväskylä. Finncon is the Finnish national science fiction convention. For a long time it has been arranged together with Animecon, but this year it’s all about science fiction – the reason being, that the combined event had grown to over 10,000 visitors and grown out of almost all viable venues in Finland! This had become quite a challenge for a free convention organized by fan for fans.
Wreckamovie Festival
A far smaller but quite interesting companion for the convention is that one of the venues at University of Jyväskylä’s campus, Ilokivi, is reserved for Wreckamovie festival. It showcases Wreckamovie productions from all over the world, with film screenings running daily.
There are some interesting films you should check out, like the (still) excellent What Became of Us and Snowblind, a feature length post-apocalyptic western produced on Wreckamovie. There’s also a chance to see a little known short film called Tokyo Baby, in which the plot involves the main character running away from home to attend Animecon. It’s produced by Blind Spot, but while you might guess otherwise Blind Spot’s geek squad had nothing to do with the film, it’s just that anime as a hobby has exploded in Finland as well and become very much a part of mainstream.
Iron Sky
I’ll be talking about Iron Sky’s use of social media on Saturday. Including the latest news about where we’re at with the production. I’ll be also hanging around at the Wreckamovie festival along with the makers of the Star Wreck 2pi fan film and other interesting people.
As always Finncon is free and very much worth booking a flight to Finland. I’m planning on checking out the lecture about fantasy in Don Rosa’s Donald Duck stories – if I can fit into the auditorium. The Donald Duck panels tend to be epic.
p.s. Samuli will also try and make it to Jyväskylä to talk about the next Star Wreck. Okay so Samuli probably won’t make it, since he has to work on Iron Sky. But he’ll try.

Need some pics? Most of our photos are under a by-nc-sa license
July 9th, 2010 by Jarmo Puskala
Most of the pictures on our Flickr account are now under a Creative Commons NonCommercial-Attribution-ShareAlike license. That means that from copyright viewpoint you can copy, remix & re-distribute the photos as long as it’s not for commercial purposes. They can for example used to illustrate blog posts or Wikipedia articles. Just remember that if pictures have recognisable people you should respect their privacy.
The few pics that have all rights reserved are usually pics where the photographer has given us the right to use the images, but we haven’t yet asked them if it’s okay to let people remix the images.
Why? Why not. If Peter from Northampton needs a picture of a Koala for his school presentation of animals that fail in natural selection then why not let him use the one Janos took? It’s not like we’re loosing anything. But maybe koalas win if Peter’s presentation is a bit more convincing and gets Mary to study to be a vet whose research saves those cute, fuzzy bears from extiction. Probably not though.
Have fun.
