These team started out on there own show now then went on to create movies now they are they creating a game on the WAX blockchain but while we wait they are creating NFTs on the blockchain .

Hello

Hey how are you guys todays ?

We are going very well keeping busy .

Aren't we all were you working on the project today ?

We work around the clock the project team consists of Christoph and Anthony. We are based out of Vancouver, Canada

Nice lots of great artists coming from Canada . Yes, lots of government support for digital development with tax credits and grants both from the Canadian government and the provincial government of British Columbia .

Nice shame not here .

Dapper Labs is based out of Vancouver, Canada also. They do the NBA Top Shots and Crypto Kitties .

Class so how did you guys meet ?

We have worked together since 2009.

Oh really and when you guys step into the crypto world ?

Started with our own television show then moved into feature films. Have been a long time fan of crypto.

Really you had your own show ?

With the lack of transparency in the film industry blockchain was the best solution. Yes, we had a television show called Livin Van Live . Live studio audience show featuring local talent and musical guests.

Oh cool and I am guessing that's stopped now ?

Yes, with the change in technology we moved everything online. The show ended in 2012 . We have 3 completed feature films since then. 911: Officer Down and The Gun Run are released. Fatal Contracts is unreleased. X Things is originally a feature film project.

Oh really and when did you decided to join the WAX world and how did you discover it ?

We have physical figurines for the project already.

Oh really any pics of them ?

So it was a natural progression into the digital world.

How did you discover wax blockchain ?

I have been a big fan of the Bad Crypto Podcast for a long time. They are big supporters of the WAX blockchain and all the utility it has. Kenn Bosak was on an episode and was mentioning his NFTs and went down the rabbit hole.

Ah I see when did you think your project would work as NFTs ?

Love the staking use with RPlanet, GreenRabbit, AlienWorlds and much more . Yes, XThings is perfect for NFTs.

So when did you bring the project wax ?

In March 2021 .

How have you found it ?

Love the WAX blockchain. It is perfect for anyone concerned with the environment. As it is a green blockchain. Zero GAS fees are amazing.

Of course it has so many great reasons behind . So tell us more about the project ?

X Things is vast universe filled with eye-catching humanoids, intergalactic hunters, limitless monsters and much more. It started as a feature film project, but then spawned into an NFT project.

Ah class so there is many ways the project can spread ?

We are always exploring new avenues within the X Things world, finding new ways to expand the idea.

When did you drop your first NFT ?

October 20, 2021.

Can we have a pic ?

We had some free drops before

What one was the first ?

https://neftyblocks.com/c/xthingscards/drops/44235

That is class is that hand drawn ?

Its both hand drawn and digitally created.

How long did he take to create ?

From start to drop, approximately 8 months.

Oh wow that is some amount of time?

It was our first time creating a project like this. We create content much faster and more efficiently now.

Oh course what programs you using to finish your NFTs ?

We transitioned from the film industry, where on average it takes about a year to complete a film (and that is not including the distribution side of things, which takes time to process as well). And creating films comes at a great cost ($) usually. We completed our first NFT drop in less time, using less money, produced higher quality content, and had much better returns than any film projects we had worked on. We are using Neftyblocks for the pack creation and drops and Atomic Hub for template creation. Photoshop and a few others for the artwork design and creation.

How many NFTs have you made so far ?

14,949 NFTs have been created so far.

How many different NFTs ?

Humanoid Form: 2 (5 Rarities) Beast Form: 6 (8 Rarities)

What is your favourite ?

My current favourite is the Kenn Bosak collab really happy with how it turned out

I seen that it dropped in a day ago. Have you done many other collabs ?

No this is the first of many collabs to come working on another one but can't release details yet

Who is your dream collab ?

Would love to collab with Gary Vee and bring XTHINGS to a massive audience.

Is there anyone on wax you would like to work with ?

RPLanet, GreenRabbit and Alien Worlds would be nice to work with. We are doing a NYE event giveaway of 500 WAXP xthings.cards/#eve
