Studio Updates: Almost Done Filming

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; March 29, 2010)      Easter is almost here, and with it comes some great news: the filming for Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile is almost done! Currently, the crew is outside Abu Simbel, and they just finished a major action scene.

I can make virtual sticky notes, edit any of the computer's sound effects, watch TV on my computer, and more. Now, with the studio's new computer, I can goof off when I'm supposed to be doing my job.
