Don't expect anything fancy from this info file. If you're reading this, you probably don't have anything better to do, and will end up reading the entire file anyway--so what am I worrying about? Here we are, we made some ansis and vgas, put them together and got ourselves a neat little name: Cranium...and why not, lets make it sound somewhat professional, and add "productions" to it. That's basically all there is to it. What are we? You probably already realized this, but for those of you who are mentally challenged (and are still reading this), Cranium Productions is yet another small art group born in the art scene. Scene? What scene? What is this we refer to as scene? Hell, I don't know; maybe people need to make up a name like that to refer to the intangible world of images and words behind their computer screens. Frankly, I don't care what you call it as long as you keep the word "cyber" out of it. All I'm concerned about is that a copy of our premiere pack found its way into your hard drive, so you now have a chance to check us out. Cranium is based in the 407 area code. It's amazing how many new art and demo groups are coming out. Regardless, we decided to put this out, and see what happens. If all works out well, we will be releasing a new packet regularly--at this point we are hoping it will be every month, but you all know how that goes. Remember, we all have lives outside of our computers, weird isn't it? Anyway, I said this wasn't gonna be too long, but this "simple" info file is now uncontrollable and is growing out of proportion. For now Cranium is composed of 3 artists and one fine coder. Like everyone else out there, we are looking for some good artists, coders and musicians. Hey, if you think you'd be a good addition to the team, don't hesitate in contacting us (information follows). We are also looking for boards that will distribute our art, so if you run a board and are interested in being a distribution site for Cranium, contact us too. Use our application generator (CAPP11.ZIP) to apply. Send out the completed form to our Headquarters or uuencode it and mail it to me. The current member list: Clorox Cowboy ............Founder/Artist Xtän .....................Artist Akira ....................Coder Kevbo ....................Artist I'm still trying my hand at music, so expect some music on our next release. Also expect a bigger pack. Being this our first one, we struggled to release it, and finally decided to put it out as it is, without further delays that would have taken us nowhere. I won't bore you with personal infoz and similar crap. Does it matter anyway? Just judge us from what you see; no further explanations required. No need to portray ourselves with k-rad-elite crap and all those idiotic attitudes that plague the so called "scene." We do this for fun, so we really couldn't care less what you decide to call yourself, or us for that matter. If you like our work and need something similar to what you see, send your requests! We'll see what we can do to help you. We'd like to hear from anyway. Send us your requests, comments, and food stamps to our Headquarters, or reach me [Xtän] at: christen@roo.fit.edu Our BBS: Black Morpheus 407.264.4966 .....Finally, it's over. Hey, that video with the guys playing Golf in NYC is on. Watch out for our next release! Thnx to all those who make the great ansees, demos, and music that keep my HD full...Thnx to general mills for the best cereal on earth: Cheerios! -Xtän-
