<br />
Not only has the Thaumaturge Animation Team produced media content for Kobold Press' 'Tome of Beasts,' but our favorite clockwork sidekick, N1-g3l, from 'The Flight of the Arrowhead,' has his own page in the bestiary! Andrew Teheran and Joao Tarouco designed stats for the N1-g3l model, called a "Library Automaton," for the 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons game.<br />
<br />
The character N1-g3l was originally designed by Joao Tarouco, Richard Santiago, Leonardo Gulli, Andrew Teheran and the rest of the production team of 'The Flight of the Arrowhead.'<br />
<br />
The book 'Tome of Beasts' is available for sale on the <a href="https://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/tome-of-beasts-for-5th-edition/">Kobold Press website</a> and on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Beasts-Wolfgang-Baur/dp/1936781565/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473043128&sr=8-1&keywords=tome+of+beasts">Amazon.com</a>.<br />

<span class="s1">Last year, 'The Flight of the Arrowhead' team began a new partnership with Seattle's Kobold Press, a publisher of 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks. Andrew Teheran, Joao Tarouco, Andre Marques, Andre Zatta and Dylan Alves, along with interns from East Side High School's Media Arts Magnet Program, have produced animated content for the game company. This partnership will continue this year with more media content, internships and other amazing geeky stuff. Here is the book release trailer we created for a huge bestiary called 'The Tome of Beasts.' Enjoy!</span></div>

The tradition of miniature building within the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Thaumaturge365">Thaumaturge Wonderworks</a> animation house is a long one. Growing out of after school pen and pencil gaming sessions, scores of highly detailed 1in.=5ft. scale architectural and nautical pieces were made by the students of <a href="http://www.nps.k12.nj.us/eas/site/default.asp">East Side's</a> New Media Studies Magnet Program. Many of the techniques employed by the team were learned from instructional guides published by the gaming company <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/">Games Workshop</a>. <br />
<br />
All of the miniatures were built with mostly Styrofoam, card stock and cardboard. They were painted primarily with acrylic paints. Each of the individual pieces represent many hours of work. The images function, along with virtual CGI models as the sets for our film that was almost entirely shot on green screen. Enjoy the images below. <br />

Here is an animated PSA by Andre Marques, a sophomore in East Side High School's New Media Studies Magnet Program. It was created as a submission for East Side's robotics team. The music and audio was done by David Barbosa. They were helped by graduate mentors Joao Tarouco, Andre Zatta and Leonardo Gulli.</div>

The talented filmmaker took time out of his busy schedule to sit with the Thaumaturge team and discuss his work, the inspiring story behind its creation, and his career path through the world of filmmaking.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1423419/"><i>Pigeon: Impossible</i></a> is an six minute animated short where a super-spy is harassed by a common pigeon. Mr. Martell's brainchild took five years to complete and exploded onto the animation and film festival circuit, winning numerous awards and having over seven million views on the internet.<br />
<br />
Leonardo Gulli described the event,"I was very excited for the meeting. It was the first time I have spoken, in person, with such a successful filmmaker." João Tarouco was impressed with Mr. Martell, "Lucas was a really cool guy. It is amazing how he kept working on the long term goal of completing his animation. It is very inspirational for my team and I as we are producing <i>The Flight of Arrowhead</i>."<br />
<br />
For almost two hours the group spoke about the intricacies of the latest animation applications and the importance of scripting. Mr. Martell gave a lot of advice about submitting to film festivals and the importance of a clear production pipeline when making a film.<br />
<br />
After watching an exclusive preview roll of <i>The Flight of the Arrowhead,</i> Mr. Martell was impressed with the quality of work from the Thaumaturge team especially considering their young age. He wished the team luck and is anicipating its completion.<br />
