Experience Film

For my countrymen who might be wondering, my mind may be in 11 Asian countries simultaneously but my body is still firmly glued to the floor in Midwestern United States, approx. 100 miles from the Stranger Things epicenter.

“It may take half a lifetime to master one system.” (Kung Fu, 1972)

As inspired as I have been in my 7 years here. That’s how Part 1 made me feel. Your contributions were diverse, enlightening, and absolutely awesome. Furthermore they led me to other clips, new ideas of every kind.

“Only by letting go can we truly possess what is real.” (-Li Mu Bai)

The drought is OVER! Here is a first look at EF’s new movie (Out August 14). Inspired heavily by Everything Everywhere All at Once (obviously). It’s basically going to be the same mother vs. daughter plot, but from a new angle, with B plot and plenty of fun surprises along the way.

Can you name the movies!? There are 8 in the trailer. About double that in the full version. Music by Pat Benatar, and Son Lux (more in the full🕺🏽).

(Epic baritone voiceover) “16 months after his world was shattered… Two days after experiencing his very first heart attack… From the independent film studio that should have folded like a tipi in 1831… Now, hear him roar like Katy Perry.”

My good writing only happens between the hours of 3 and 6 am… Which is why I don’t write much. The conditions have to be just right, you know. In my case, the sobriety needle must rest precisely between “HAMMERED” and “HUNGOVER DON’T OR I’ll THROW A SHOE AT YOU”.

Re-blogging this fantastic post from my friend here, For Tyeth at (FTSabersite).

Particularly For fans of Star Wars, LOTR, New Zealand. FT is a real life Jedi (check out his Cosplay) and Visual Effects Wizard. He specializes in making custom Lightsabers, both real, but mainly computer graphic artistic renders using Blender 3D modeling software (Current). They are exquisite. For a very special 666th post, FT revamped an old saber design inspired by the LOTR “Barad-Dur” Dark Tower, complete with a Lava Krystal chamber, instead of traditional Kyber. And get this, he also just visited New Zealand (all the way from The UK) which is, of course, where Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy was filmed. Perfect timing. Check it out!

Hello Everybody and welcome to a big milestone post! I recently reposted an old Lord of the Rings inspired saber design named “Barad-Dûr Saber” having been reminded of it by my trip down under to New Zealand the sort of spiritual home of Middle Earth. I was some fantastic scenery, some of which featured in the Peter Jackson movies (Mount Ruapeha for example). Having visited the WETA Workshops’ studios where a lot of on screen props, costumes and visual effects etc were created I felt my old design needed a revamp and this seemed a good time as any. I went back into Blender 3D and took the original model I had and took all the decorations off and reworked the hilt. It was forged in fire, brimstone and lots of lava….this is the return of “Barad-Dûr Saber – V2”….
