What am I gonna buy

I estimate I'll be earning a couple thousand dollars every two weeks once I get off my ass and start working.

Gonna get some stuff for the static shock project and of course buy new toys for myself. I work hard for my money and I spend hard. Always have, always will.

Gonna get some new camera equipment. Best camera Sony makes, the Rx-100 as far as I know... Then we start making movies. The camera I got is just a little toy next to that beast. Shit, but when you're poor your options are limited Might actually spring for a really high end professional cam corder.

Let me just say this for the record. It's so sad that I'm 30 years old and hoping to scrap together enough money to buy a camera some white kids get and toss in the trash on a weekly basis.

One thing I've glanced from my youtube travels is the white world. And they got all the good shit first... I mean it's like, just all I see when I look up camera test videos is some white kid testing out some freaking professional camera equipment I could never have gotten at that age. What the hell?

I did what I could as a kid, I just basically played videogames, watched movies, and drew comics. Never had money to get cool stuff so I didn't. And of course didn't have a job back then. Now I will be pulling down massive amounts of money so my life will finally get interesting.

It's aggravating of course, the constant fear and apprehension I often encounter out there as a black male. It's like, yeah you live your life feeling restricted and like everybody is watching you. I prettymuch never I guess appreciated that I looked like a hispanic kid when I was younger. Being that way meant that I didn't have to belong to the black population full steam ahead. But now I do, it's part of getting older, you just lose your youthful looks and shit.

I don't know about whether to care or not. Just want to finish my projects I got and of course make movies the way I know how. Stick to the plan, ignore the politics, I say.

Just, I hate jobs, hate working, hate feeling like I got to be in school all over again. Doesn't life branch out beyond that shit at some point???

Or what?

got a job

finally, what the hell...

Can't believe it but I did ace the interview. Best job interview I EVER did in my life, son. I was like basically talking about how much I've done the job prior. I can't believe it. Going to be earning substantial money for once. Not bad....

tmnt 3 progress shots.

That's basically the point of this edit to remove the overly colorful suits. Throughout this process, I do realize something now. The original henson suits aren't THAT different from the new suits. Sure they're better designed and have much better more masterful sculpts and carefully done skin texture etc. But the true reason they looked so good was because the original tmnt movie was shot in various types of darkness and lighting to hide the suits true form so you never really saw them in full bright light. The one scene in which you do, they look like the suits from this film prettymuch which is why this movie failed for me. They lit the damn suits from every single possible angle and didn't even attempt to hide them in shadows like the original... What a difference changing some color makes, I tell ya...

thawts on rouge one trailer

Looks interesting... I know star wars and if it's off I'll know about it. Well, I don't know. Lot of people saying looks like a great fan film. Agreed. It does have that fan film bullshit going on. That will NOT cut it. I want it to feel authentic.

Using the prequel actress from the deleted scenes of mon mothma. Very nice. I agree with that. Makes it very possible Daniel Logan will get a shot at Boba for the han solo movie. Listen, Phil and Chris, he's a great guy. I implore you to call him for the Boba role in that movie. It would make his day beyond measure. And you'll get the real deal.

Palm trees and such and such. Not my cup of tea.Never thought I'd see a full scale star wars battle at a scenic island resort apparently. What the fuck? I mean, palm trees, ok, hopefully we won't get like more sand planets. Force Awakens is a decent movie, but the whole let's retread the sand planet part was such bullshit. I can't stand behind that part one bit.

Static Shock Preview image...

Yep still making this thing. Why? Dunno, something I got to do. Got a bunch of things lined up actually. But this is priority number one. I'm f'n 30 years old can you believe that? So I have to push this trailer through now before my body really starts to decline and show my true age. Should have done this, as a early 20 guy not now. But I guess I can get away with it as I don't age at the normal rate anyway.

Well, what the hell else is there to shoot. Bunch of manhattan shots. Was in manhattan yesterday just going to my usps interview and was just amazed by the incredible architecture down there. Prime rel-estate for a fan film I'm cooking up. Problem is too many people around but I do want to get shots of static in the city. Going to have to be sneaky about it.

New Project Announcement...

Just got done watching someone's review of TMNT 3 a movie I've had a love-hate relationship with forever now. The thing about it is that it's actually a better film than TMNT 2. Yeah, it's actually to me, and I saw it in theaters as a kid, I always thought it was better than TMNT 2. But the suits distract you from what was actually not a bad story.

I'm going to get rid of those suits and color correct the film to look a lot like the original movie. I swear it. I may not finish this project for some time. But I believe you all will want to see what I do with it when it's done.

I've played around with some of the footage I got of the movie and sure enough it does look a thousand times better without having the suits be glow in the dark bullshit.

I can't imagine how much better I can make this movie. Gonna have to find a HD version of the movie and get to work editing all the suit footage...

static shock costume plan

Just going to lay out the plan for the full costume from the start of the trailer to the end.

First he'll sport the white tshirt and the cruid drawing on it, random hat choice, no special gloevs, etc... This is his training gear prettymuch.

Then he'll go online and purchase a lightning bolt sweatshirt from the tampa bay lightning website... then he'll aquire the shock motorcycle gloves. Then he'll be in the marty mcfly back to the future shoes and have the back to the future hat prettymuch.

Lastly we'll see him in his most comic accurate version with the special unbreakable glasses, blue trench coat, blue black sneakers, black pants, blue belt, and yellow comic symbol he'll design and create for himself. This will of course be the final look he sports and in the finale of the trailer he'll be in battle with this uniform.

Here's the trench coat look he'll have although I've decided to put him in a black jacket in this costume form instead...
