Okay, what’s up, people? Really? That’s just ace. Me? Oh.. I’ve been doing things..
Eddsworld Birthday
It was my good friend Edd’s birthday on October 28th so I contacted all of my chums online to create a SUPER BIG MOVIE to mark the occasion. In the 5 years I’ve known Edd, I haven’t once really made an appearance on his birthday so this was long due.
As chaotic as the film looks, it was actually storyboarded/scripted down to the last facial expression. Leave nothing to chance, people.
I’d like to give a big thanks to everyone who took part in making the movie and the people who promptly made response videos. Good work, everyone!
Next on the agenda..
Molotov Cocktail Party
My good friend Matt who some of you will know as DJ FABLOON, creator of the backing music to Awkward has a fantastical new band who have agreed to give me the rights to their music for movies and all that jazz. They’re pretty ace, check em out at their MySpace and Last.fm pages.
A week or so ago I discovered that CollegeHumor staff/internet comedy duo Jake and Amir were hosting a competition to see who could make the best movie trailer out of their videos. All 150 or so of them.
I also discovered that the trailer ended in 2 days. Suffice to say, I didn’t leave my apartment for more than half an hour that weekend.
This all brings us forth to the present. Or as I like to call it, ‘the hole I procrastinated myself into’.
With one deadline in 12 hours, another in 2 days and another in 7 I can’t help but think I should be working.
So, what did I just spend the past 12 hours doing? Well I’m glad you asked.
I start/finished a script for a short comedy skit to go out on the university radio (Siren FM). Straight after, I recorded the first take of the dialogue with two of my new classchums Emma and John. If the whole project comes out well I may try and add visuals to the piece and publish it to the net.
The next thing I worked on was a poster project (see above) for Design class. I had to choose any graphic designer I liked an make a poster for a fictional exhibition of their work (using some of their techniques). I chose CaosCC, the team behind one of Coca Cola’s ad campaigns. (see below)
Tomorrow I’ll be getting on with an essay or two and editing my radio piece a little.
I’ve never been good at making sequels. Especially not ones of movies that were made to be bad. (proof)
Bing and Spamcat 2 has proved to be no exception to this rule. Upon filming the movie I found it to be unfunny and.. well.. unoriginal. We’d done it once and this was bringing nothing new to the table.
The project began after I combined these two concepts that make me laugh:
1) Flaming Bible Sandwiches
2) Falling down stairwells
Suddenly:
I actually classed the movie as a TFL (tales from Lincoln) because I really think it’s time to lay B&SC to rest.
In other news: the 2008 Eddsworld Halloween special is underway and is looking nice and stylized like previous flashes of Edd on the general theme of the supernatural. “..this is more of my thing … making spooky things stupid” - Edd
Finally, I made an asdfcomic based on a skit I’d still like to make in the near future. Until I up it to the Vault, check it out here
