VGA+Ying-Yang

Cody here, just thought I'd upload two thoughts.

You catch the VGA awards? Did you see the Watchmen trailer? Did you wanna throw your shoe at the tv? So did I! But I sat with a huge smile on my face in amazement for, Brutal Legend! Truly greatness as to be expected from my number 1 Favorite game creator, Tim Schafer.

Well to be 100% with ya, i kinda thought the trailer was "Meh", up till Eddie Riggs(Jack Black) started talking to the evil nun. Here is a link to the trailer if you missed it. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43624.html

Okay, also i want to upload my background i made for my pc(Got annoyed with searching yahoo).

Here is a tiny one so you can see what it is, but the ones you'd want to use are below

two links to my photobucket for ya, one is 1024x768 and the other is 800x600.

Cody Out!

In-Advertising

Look at that poster. Really nice, isn't it? Subtle, evocative, emotional, and above all, well designed.

Yet anyone who's vaguely familiar with the Madea character (and I stress the word vaguely) will know that the films about said character are not AT ALL subtle, evocative, etc. They're basically Big Momma's House movies (and if I am mistaken, and only the trailers for the film make them seem to be low grade cheese, let me know, as I have yet to see a Madea movie).

Now, seeing this poster got me wondering what other grossly inaccurate posters are out there? Posters that do a terrible job of representing the film they're championing, whether through gross incompetence by the designer, or straight up lying by the marketing team.

This could be fun.

I know, I know, it's an awesome poster, for sure. But we're not talking about bad posters, we're talking about misleading ones. Look how fucking hot Leia looks! Her dress tarp is NEVER torn during the movie, I can assure you. Look how buff Luke is! Almost enough to get me to stop looking at Leia. But where the hell is Han? And why is the Death Star lit up like a Brite Lite?

No sequel? Bullshit motherfuckers.

This poster misleads you into thinking this movie might be good.

While not neccesarily mis-leading (I'm breaking my own rules fast), so many sci-fi and adventure movie posters that used art had the same problem: the film could just never, never be as awesome as the art promised. Here's another example:

Look for a post later devoted to this particular subject. And finally:

Look at the size of that fucking jeep. Godzilla's foot was nowhere NEAR this big in the movie.

"Can you dig it!?"

Yes! It is I, Cody! here to bring you the one and only final cut of "Obey the Altar Native: Flash Photography" music video!

Okay, first off I'd like to say sorry for how long it took me. I want to thank all the people in my family that put up with all my putting them down just so I can do the video. Thanks for all the people who kept me sane while doing it. And thank you Obey for letting me use your song and for being so cool about not really knowing how the video would end up.

If you happen to enjoy the song don't forget to add Obey to your myspace friends list using this Link http://www.myspace.com/obeythealtarnative

If you enjoy the video go ahead and add my myspace or youtube friend list/Subscription which you can find on the right side of this web page.

And now without more time wasted please watch the music video by using the link below!

Some fun stuff ;]

Okay cody here with a some cool info.

The main reason for the post is, *Drum roll* The Obey the Altar Native music video will be done by late night Saturday! Or early Sunday (Unless a massive unstable slip up happens like I get a virus that eats data.)

So be ready by Saturday night!

Also on a coolieo side note, Tim and I are going to go see cold play live tonight.

Yes these guys,,,

But it's all good.

I'm sure tim or I will come back with pictures or a funny/retarded story about someone in the parking lot. Well back to the animation! so close to finish, I can nearly taste it!

Cody OUT.

Make it a "Grand'e"

Cody here with the strange fascination that is called "Starbucks"! But first let me tell you how I came to be at this "Starbucks" place.

So there I was at PetSmart at 4:45 in the morning waiting for Jamie to show up and open the door so I could work. But Jamie becomes a no-show and ended up leaving me in the freezing cold with no jacket. So I waited a hour and then said "I'm freezing, I waited and now I'm leaving." so I bounced over to our hight of this post, "Starbucks".

Okay first off I'd like to say, "Wow, who the fuck goes to Starbucks at 5:45 in the morning?" Rich-ass-old-people-that-were-once-and-or-are-currently-super-busty-models. I felt like a homeless guy at a dinner party. Out-a-freakin-place. I got in there and looked at the menu and was chattering my teeth together from the low temp outside, I thought "Oh hey, a hot Grand'e Mocha coffee would be slick right-a 'bout now." So I picked one up at a chunk of change 3.89 cents! I sit down near the back of the store and I begain to watch people flow in and out of the building, I thought to myself two things, 1:"who in their right mind wakes up at 5 am and says to them selves, "A-hem, a lovely Starbucks coffee seems to be beckoning my ear drums right about now." 2: Now I'll admit not everyone that went in there seemed like they were rolling in cash or have recently posed half nude for the front of maxim magazine, but she must have been down on her luck just like I was, lookin' to get some place warm.(And yes there was this one woman who looked as if she puked her last meal just before steppin' off the breast implant table.)

By the way, this Grand'e Mocha coffee(cup is fucking small no matter what you call it) is the worst coffe I have ever fucking tasted.

Thirst Buster!

Sup!? Cody here giving a update on two things, #1: all about Obey the alternative's music video.
And #2: My chosen Podcast of the month.

Okay so lately I have found my self trying like crazy to finish the music video of "Flash Photography" for the underground rap group "Obey the alter native". So I have spent a few hours of my night tonight just getting some stuff done. It turns out I have gone through 3 storyboards on paper and tonight I made my last one digital, worked out pretty well. I also have been making the magazine covers for the song. Hopefully the band doesn't get bother by a fake label all over in the video, well kinda fake. Gofio happens to be the label.
In the video there are many sections where magazine like this one will pop up according to the song. I have finished all the 3d sets and camera movement, most of the animated movemnt has been finished but I will say I feel greatly rushed and feel the need to just finish this thing! So I just worried that it doesnt turn out as good as I want it to.










On another note! My choice of the month for Podcasts is in fact Dead Pixels! they are some funny guys who just talk about horror games and yada yada. It's funny and great for info about the horror games that are big at the moment like dead space and silent hill. Click the picture below to be linked over to the bloody-disgusting.com podcast page.

REAL Shots

This past week, Cody and I rented a camera, constructed an outfit, and set out about the greater Phoenix area taking "proof of concept" shots for my independent film, "REAL: Documentary of a Superhero". I'll use these shots as part of a presentation with the purpose of raising money for the film. I'm taking a unique angle with the presentation, as it will be all web based. There will be a post here detailing the details as soon as the website is up.

I'll post some more shots later, as I haven't had much time to edit them, but here's two:

I'll update as time goes on, and keep an eye out for the "REAL" website, which will be going up next week.

Peace out.
