AkFilm Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 It's that time again. I'm honored to have been asked with my production team to come on and help create the video product. this year. I am also a smith, and hope to bring a nice balance to the broadcast as well as some higher production value while presenting the smiths as they are and showcasing their wonderful work. If you like forging, and anything artistic or just have a love of history and blades, check out the free live stream of Arctic Fire 2016: Grendel's Hoard, July 5th-8th. I'll also be making a much larger and involved project that'll be available afterwards with some exclusive content or in the event you cannot see the whole thing There's also a live Q&A forum as well during the event. http://www.arcticfire.org/home.html There are constant updates happening with the current build on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Arctic-Fire-398768046838011/?fref=ts I hope to see you online!

AkFilm Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'm going to try and turn them pretty fast this year. It was too long of a gap last time in my opinion. I will keep this post updated as things develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Does this mean you won't make the July 9th. meeting at Jim's? Was there a Japanese gentleman trying to connect? Seems one was wandering around visiting smiths last week. Just wondering. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
