Huge Update!

Hello Everyone!

So it's been a while since i did anything of substance on here. I'm not really sure why. Been avoiding movies for a bit after the blitzkrieg or the film fest. usually the first few movies I see after the fest get knocked pretty hard cause I'm still critiquing based on the same criteria as the Film Fest movies.

If you read my Elysium review then you understand

anyway, I'm back from my cousin's wedding, I have to edit their footage up, that's one of my projects this week. otherwise I'm working on a few different Cosplay projects and other cool stuff like that.

right now I'm waiting for a call from a director for a shoot, was supposed to be at 4 PM, but it's now 5:30 and still no call, so either he forgot me, already hired someone, or they lost funding...wouldn't be the first time a feature I'm associated to loses funding, go Michigan!

So I mentioned my couple of Cosplay projects, I'll do a quick list to bring you up to speed


1. Isaac Clarke:
Been working on this one for a while, been neglecting it a bit out of frustration, but now I'm getting back into it, working on the Health spine this week. Hoping to have it all ready by Youmacon/Halloween. I have the Ribs done and the belts done, otherwise I did a few mockups of the right gauntlet, I like it but it needs some work. the Health spine and Mask are my Personal challenges, so we'll see how those pan out.


2. Prince Nuada:
I mentioned that i have a friend working on it, well we went out and bought fabric for the jacket on Thursday and sometime this week she's hopefully gonna start fabricating it. I have to make his Spear, the crown of bethmora and maybe the sword he throws to Hellboy before the final fight.

I also have to make a better version of the Crest, I like it but it's not quite up to my standards


3. Wings:
Meg and Hannah asked me to help design some opening and closing wings for a costume they're making. So I've been sketching out Ideas for that all weekend, trying to decide if i should use metal or wood or PVC. I'll over think the hell out of it as always. But it's an interesting challenge to say the least, I'm thinking about using a cord going through metal tubes that when pulled taught would extend the wings. I'll do a more in depth build when I get it all done. Maybe even YouTube it! I've still yet to come up with a good plan for my YouTube channel.


So those are the 3 Costumes I'm currently working on, also looking for a few simpler costumes to do like Gideon or Zoro.


Well, moving on to the world of film making, It's been a rather dry summer for me. I'm acting in a short in a month where i play a serial kidnapper/killer/rapist? so it'll be fun to channel Dexter for that one. I have a rehearsal coming up in a couple weeks, same day as NMAcon up in traverse city, so, I'm not 100% sure what my plan is for that weekend yet.

I also have that interview for a Prop Master gig, but it's still not rang so I'm getting discouraged.


Other than that it's looking pretty bleak right now, I'll be sending my resume out more after i get back into my rhythm. still looking to leave Michigan sometime int he future. don't worry, I'll post all about that when it happens.



Movie news!
not really news, but I feel the need to say that it is 'The World's End" week! World's End comes out on Friday! Finally! I've been waiting for this since 2007! I am unbelievably excited for this film, and the fact that it has a 93% right now makes me so happy! I will be posting all about it over the next few days and you can expect a review late Thursday night, hopefully it's very high!

the next movie I'll probably watch, most likely tonight, is Kick-ass 2, not 100% sure if it's gonna be good, I'm expecting it to be just OK, nothing special, which in my post festival mind means, ball sucking bad...so hopefully its better


Perler Beads:
I've made a few more small ones, I'm running low on multiple colors so I'm finding it difficult to make bigger things like Stephen stills or Knives. but they will get done! eventually!

I'll post another perler update with all of the pictures at a later time


TV:


Finished Dr Who, I have an update a few back about that.


Still working on One piece, haven't watched any in quite a while, fishman island just isn't good after the whitebeard war.


I'm behind on Attack on Titan, but i have them all ready to watch i just have to sit down and watch them.


caught up on Breaking bad, Yesterdays episode was just as awesome as ever, and with only 6 episodes left I'm on the edge of my seat.


Dome is on tonight, probably still sucks. but over the weekend i heard a bunch of people loving it so maybe I'm just over critical again.


I'm watching low winter sun, only saw the first ep so far, I'll watch the second probably tomorrow.


Newsroom, of course its good, I love this show and I'll continue to choose it over Low Winter Sun, but it does kinda feel like its int he doldrums of the season.


Whose line, they did a couple new games last time but it still has its faults.


Glee, the DVDs out soon so maybe the 4th season will be better in one sitting, and without commercials.


supernatural, DVD out the same day as glee, should be fun to flip between the two.



so that's it for TV, Nothing else really going on in my world right now, met some cool people over the weekend hopefully one of them will be a Friend, she seems pretty cool. lives nearby. I somehow ended up with 3 girls contact info Saturday night, that was rather random, go drunk me! haha, anyway I'll leave you with this long post. it's past 6:30 and still no call, what the balls?
