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...

Got a new ride

bought another hoverboard thing...I personally love it. I wish it wasn't made illegal. I mean, people should fight the law. We're adults. We have a right to tell the government what we want. How can you tell adults what they can't ride under their own full knowledge of the safety hazard. It's like telling a grown man he can't ride a dangerous skateboard because he might fall off it and hurt himself. What they're worried about is having hundreds of people on these things and they go flying off into traffic with them. Fair enough, I understand that, but what about skateboards, roller blades, hell, even people in electric wheel chairs or something similar. You can't tell them to stop because well, they'll fight that law and win. Grown men and women, not kids. You can take toys away from little kids and that's the end of it. You can't tell a grown man or woman they can't do x,y,z because it's dangerous. Wow, so sad nobody's fighting the anti-hoverboard law.

So much can of worms opened by such a law. What else can the governement meddle with because it's potentially dangerous. At the end of the day I think more people die in car accidents than will ever die on these slow crawling hoverboard things. Really think about it. Every day there's a car accident because someone sucks at driving a big dangerous car. Yet this slow moving soft piece of nothing skateboard thing is illegal. I'm floored by that shit.

Artists on facebook

Gotta say, that's truly inspirational. I use the facebook thing for mostly keeping abreast of whatever my favorite celebs are doing but seeing artist work on there is what's even better.

It's amazing to me. I have to say it makes me feel embarrassed for not having honed my skills to their peak. I do what I can and have been capable of above average art all my life, but the shit Jim lee, Sandy Collara, Todd Mcfarlane is pulling makes my shit look like stick figures.

Wow, gentlemen. I've grown up on your stuff and loved it. To see you make it, never thought I would, but it is humbling beyond measure to watch masters do their craft in front of my face.

Because of these guys and their efforts to spread their talents to the world through the web, I'm inspired to do the same.

I'll be doing some new art, new star wars art soon, stay tuned for that.

Ben Ramsey `Apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

ThankS?

You took something that was so stupid easy to make, copy the comic and do everything stepehen chow has been doing for years and you did a watered down smallville for dummies. Thanks guy.

There's your argument for bootleging folks. Any time i hear complaints about bootlegs from this point forward, just point to dbe and say well, sometime's there's a purpose.

Sad sad sad. DBE killed, literally killed Any live action dragonball potential the franchise could have had. Why don't they just ghost rider it. Sure spirt of vengance isn't the best ghost rider movie either but it wipes the first movie with its ass cheeks. So it was a success in that regard.

Too bad. It's been fucking 7 years. Everybody from the movie has split up and wants to forget it happened.

no one wants to make a sequel to it because just look at the potential for it, none. What a joke and a tragic way to end the popularity of dragonball. if things had gone to plan, the movie would have been done practically exactly like the comic and of course have insane amounts of action and spectacle. oh jesus i feel horrible knowing that that movie is the dragonball kids will grow up on. just terrible.

apology not accepted...

Working on a couple projects at the moment...

Finishing the Super Mario Bros movie edit. This will be the only version of the film I will ever watch and I hope others decide to add it to their collection as an alternate version from the original. The movie's got heart, yunno, there's a good movie in there, but it's surrounded by so much garbage. As I've been editing the movie, I've gotten to understand it more than I ever did casually watching it as a kid. There's quality acting, writing, production values. They really did have quite a good budget. But there's so many weird decisions in the overal look and tone of the film. It is what the crew said it was, a conflict between what the studio wanted and what the directors wanted. In the end, it's pure 90s, which is to say, it's awesome and weird. That's what my childhood was about, embracing crap like super mario bros and so I've decided to take the movie and make it my own version.

I'll be doing Chun Li next. I feel so bad for Kristen Kreuk. She's my girl. I grew up watching her for years, brother. I would have never wanted her to tackle chun li and have it end up the way it did. I mean, what a woman. Got in the best shape of her life, then got fucked by a shitty production. Welcome to hollyweird, eh...

I'm going to do what I can to fix that movie. Mostly getting rid of those shitty fireballs that look like ass. Good grief. Why is a movie like mortal kombat from the 90s still the only one of these movies that got the fire balls right. Hell, mortal kombat got everything right. Why didn't robin shou save the production during filming. He already got it right with MK, makes no sense why he didn't help save chun li.

I've got a little plan to save Chun Li. Going to attempt to increase the speed of her kicks to make it seem like she's doing the flash kick at some point in the movie... Don't know what else I can do... I honestly fucking abhor the way the movie opens. Never open a movie so DEAD like that. It kills the films momentum. I was just out of interest in the flick from the start, bad move.

I think I can use smallville clips to add stuff. I know there's a whole Lana training scene I could use...

Sadly there's no way to put her in the chun li costume. The BIGGEST AND WORST failure of the chun li movie. Wow. You have Kristen Kreuk, the most damn accurate looking chun li girl EVER, and she's in her peak fighting shape, and you DON'T put her in the costume at all during the film. Wow. That's why it bombed. I mean if it was just whatever it was and then she got the costume and was showing those legs and kicking and all kinds of shit, movie would have been ok... but they shitted all over chun li, and didn't even have the costume. Why is this a street fighter movie? I MIGHT be able to somehow put kreuk's head on the chun li cosplayer in some kind of dream sequence so that there is a snippet of her in costume in the movie. If I can accomplish that, I'll consider my fan edit a success...

Anyway, see ya later...
