progress and plan

Still making the official static shock live action trailer...

sadly spent 43 dollars on a delorean hover mode car that isn't as big as I hoped. But fortunately I might be able to use it in the film by shooting it in front of blue screen and inserting it into a part of a flying shot. 43 dollars worth of easter egg for anyone who spots the flying delorean, yeah that makes sense...

just going to lay out my plan for this thing and above all else, WHY I'm making it.

Cuz there isn't any... I mean nothing against current world of cinema and tv, but yeah, where ARE the black super heros at?

Goddamn. It's weird as fuck. I never contemplated I'd get older and kinda be wondering where the fuck black tv shows and black cartoons and superheros were, but I guess black people have no choice but to fight for involvement since the white people running everything will forget black people are knocking around in this world.

I mean it's not their fault. They grew up in the white world, it's all they fucking know, really. They make tv, movies, cartoons, games etc, that represent their upbringing. To make a black anything would be damn difficult for white people, it just would... so they keep it simple.

Anyway, looking forward to finishing this 2 or 3 year project. It's been a hell of a ride but I've taught myself so much about film making in the time I've been doing it that I truly have a greater respect for the process of film making. It is hard. It's like, everything has to be done all planned out and in perfect sync. I never thought about how they made movies all these years, just watched them and enjoyed the show, but having gotten my hands dirty making my own. I don't envy being a film maker. I just want to fucking toss my camera in the trash at times. It's hard to get the shots you want.

I mean, damn. I understand why George Lucas hated directing now. Imagine having to do tons of takes over and over again, that's a nightmare for the motherfucker I can imagine. No wonder the acting was like really bottom barrel in the prequels. Lucas wasn't interested in performances in those films, what a waste...
