Today PinheadHQ revealed that Pinhead has signed a lucrative contract to continue his in front of the camera exploits. Though the dollar amount was not revealed, rumor has it that it was big bucks. Pinhead rose to fame in a one man reality show you might say. He traveled around the world and the friends he met along the way filmed his adventures.   One fan commented, “I can’t believe it! I love the Pinhead Projects, so I’m so glad he’s signed a new contract.” It has however mot been revealed what the next adventure or two may be. Staffers at PinheadHQ were tight lipped, as our emails and calls went unanswered.
                Pinhead himself was caught outside the PinheadHQ doors early this morning. When pressed for details he had this to say…
                “I love what I do you know? I could retire on a beach somewhere, but what would be the fun in that? The other thing is all the people I get to work with. The committee is great! Most importantly the editors I get to meet. A super great bunch of people. They really are. I can’t wait for my next outing.”
                Though Pinhead Couldn’t say what is next for him, PinheadHQ will be featuring clips of past projects all summer long. We are told this look back may even include comments from the clip’s authors. This should be interesting, so be sure to visit the site often this summer. PinheadHQ.com.
                It is interesting to note that Pinhead’s new contract is only for a year, which will through things in doubt not too far off from now. Perhaps he is more ready to retire then he lets on.

Hello PinPals. Sorry no new clips, but I think we have something equally interesting. Joe, KF Daddy has released a new file for the blufftitlers out there. Our blufftitle package has been updated with this file. So what is it?

quote:

KF Daddy...
...a png file suitable for BluffTitler to animate Pinhead walking from a side view. It's more detailed than the first one I uploaded and it's the one I used for my latest video, In Search of America.

Next we added a new file to the photoshop download...

quote:

KF Daddy...
...The psd file is the one I used to animate the movements for the png file. It's also more detailed than the original.

So there you have it. Joe and the rest of us hope you find them useful.

PINHEAD REPORTED LOST

This morning it was revealed to the world that famous adventurer Walter P. "Pinhead" has gone missing. INN's Pauly Klutzberry was on the scene at Pinhead Headquarters when the story broke. Joe of the Committee revealed they had no clues and that authorities were baffled.
Pinhead burst on the scene in 2006 with a plan to travel to as many places as possible. His exploits were caught on film by the people he met along the way. At this time his reputation may have been tarnished by an unconfirmed canoe theft and a odd obsession with batteries, and flashlights. Was he afraid of the dark? It's hard to say. At the time he placed a group of people in charge of his affairs, dubbed the Committee. They have remained in control of all things Pinhead ever since. They were Alley, Longcross, Paul37, Kgatz007 and honorary member Romskye, who aided in setting up Pinhead's headquarters. Kgatz007 later left, for family reasons. The current Committee seems to have two more members KF Daddy, and Wires. How the daily management is divided between these folks was not revealed to this reporter.
After Pinhead's world tour, he stared in a series of short films, some he claimed were based on his own experiences. This reported could not confirm such claims.
Then came the most amazing event yet. Pinhead found himself trapped in a mansion accused of murder. He somehow managed to clear his name, and made a fortune selling the story. The odd bit here folks, not one movie was made of the events, but several! And they all tell a very different story, so there is no way of knowing what really happened in that mansion. Very convenient, in this reporters opinion.
Once free of his "Mystery Manor" he tried to pick himself up again by doing another series of short films. They were all about one minute and seemed to show off some of his action hero talents, among other things.
It now seems that Pinhead was about to plan a new adventure, or film project with his Committee. Authorities tell us that he was to meet with them at a undisclosed location, and never arrived. Not much else is known. It does seem that authorities are questioning all known contacts of the adventurer. That is quite a roster. Pinhead has made efforts to stay in contact with many of the people he has met around the world. This reporter has found that the committee. has been questioned. It seems even they are not above suspicion.
Could it be a publicity stunt? Hard to say folks. This morning INN broadcast a plea from Head committee. member herself. First she asked Pinhead to contact them, tell them he was safe. Then she asked the public to send any footage they may have, or reveal what happened and where. Very interesting, if you ask this reporter. Know that INN will stay on this story!

The voting for the Golden Pinhead Awards is now open click here.

Well, it's midnight EST and our Pinhead Project 3 is officially closed. There are still a couple of clips to be posted which were in before deadline.

I wanted to thank those people that allowed their imaginations to create such amazing clips and who embraced Pinhead in this latest adventure. The committee worked hard to create this project and we so appreciate the participation. So thanks to all of you from the bottom of our hearts. Many of you do not "get" or "understand" the Pinhead thing, but those that do, will tell you that participating in this project brings joy, learning and real mental therapy. It's kind of like going to Disney as a child again. There is nothing "simple" about this project - I commend all of you who took part, and I encourage all of you who did not to reconsider next time. :) We will make the next project (assuming we proceed) less complicated.

Our vote will go up sometime tomorrow. We would so appreciate you all taking the time to place a vote. Our target air date for the awards is Saturday, May 31.

As you know, I had negotiated 19 prizes and we had 8 official entries (not taking into account multiple entries). 8 Corel prizes I have here, as well as the Prodad grand prize. Smartsound, Pinnacle and Reallusion Iclone are sent out from them directly, either by mail or download. 7 of our prizes were for merit, the balance of 12 prizes were for draws. Due to the low number of participants, we have decided to add the voice actors to the draws. Therefore, DaveM, mwickham, PBaratta, KBaratta & RRead, Gordon - all will be added to the draw. This still leaves an over-abundance of prizes, and I am considering relieving Pinnacle of the obligation of 3 of their prizes, as I really think doubling up is a bit overkill. I don't feel right taking that many prizes, due to participation. I hope you will all support me in this.

Our vote will include a few questions, as well as a place for comments. We welcome and encourage your thoughts, as to what would be required, to attract your participation.

I would like to thank my fellow committee members, Brian, Joe, Paul and Gerry, for their unbelievable support and hard work. Please stay tuned to PinheadHQ for more entertaining video updates over the next two weeks.

Also, our awards ceremony will be the best ever, so I hope you all enjoy. :)
