Family, if you're reading this, which I know you don't because well, you don't know this exists then don't worry, you have one coming. Sorry to ruin x-mas, but... for anyone else interested in peeking at it.. go ahead.
Hey, the internet is flooded with people overreacting about just about everything. On io9 it's about films, especially remakes, adaptations, and sequels to beloved source material. There is a tendancy for commenters, and occasionaly editors all over the webs to put forth Chicken Little cries of terror, so rather than fight with these people about letting work stand on it's own, or at least waiting to see it before shitting all over it, my buddy Plague and I devised the It's a Disaster image concept. Just post one of these on a comment board devoted to the appropriate forthcoming cinematic "Train Wreck" to hopefully put everything in perspective. I also like the fun quick/sketch design job I did on these.
So, got laid off. Sucks because of the money, though I can't say its entirely for the worst. I've spent the last few days finishing a bunch of creative projects that I didn't have the time, nor inspiration to complete since I've started them. I've also put together a new reel. It needs some tweaking, but I have a someone who needs to see it today so it is what it is for now. Over the next couple days I'll start putting up things that I've done for your enjoyment. For now, here is the reel.
Hey, I'm gonna try and draw more. I've fallen out of it and dangit if I'm not half bad at it and I'm starting to like computer sketching so I'll try and do more, and then post what I do here. Much of this comes from trying to use constructive downtime at work/lunch becaue the net is too slow to browse here.
So last week on the sites that I frequent, the buzz was all about a new Hulk trailer. They called it the Hulk "Awaken" Trailer. Now, what it turned out to be was another lack luster blah, Hulk ad with Ed Norton looking anxious, and CG Green Ed Norton running around for a splash wreckin shit. Everyone was all atwitter because it referenced the old TV show. Whatever. Cool I guess. But for me, I saw the word "Awaken" with the Hulk and mistakenly got excited that it was going to be a trailer for the Hulk that used the most Brutal fictional cartoon band EVAR, Dethklok.
I was wrong.
So I said, fuck it and did it myself. How ya like them apples.. them, greeen apples. Basically I broke down the trailers I could get a hold of and built them back up to match Dethklok's Awaken. It took a little more editing than you would think. Then I needed to fill more time so I said oooh, I can use Into the Water, which is my favorite song. It worked quite nicely. Then I tossed in some graphics that I really should've spent more time on (I like my Man, Nature, Science bit, feel free to nik that Universal) and sent it out to hopefully get more people excited for this film. Ultimately its really a 1st or 2nd draft, but what the hell, its the internet who friggin cares.
Sabine, who I dont think had much interest in seeing it before, now wants to see it. So it's worked for one person. Thats a start. Please to enjoy...
