Been a Minute…

I should really start blogging more often. I came across the aboslutely hilarious blog "Stuff White People Like," and dude got a book deal (a book that spent some time on the NY Time Bestseller list nonetheless) because of the thing.

Now to find a gimmick. I am all about the Blacula thing still, however I suffer from this disease known as Lazy, and the proposed project also would leave me susceptible to a severe case of Copyright Infringement, so I dunno.

Note: Fancast lets you stream Blacula, so you should go watch it and declare it the greatest film of all time.

Blacula in Rudimentary 3D

Get yourself a pair of the red and blue 3D glasses to check this one out. I used a paper pair I picked up at a Wawa they were using to promote Monsters and Aliens during the Super Bowl.

Not really much of an accomplishment, but it works. John and I were fucking around with settings trying to get it to look a little better, but adding the darker background really made it jump out. The afro'd silhouette was a corny attempt at giving it the Blaxploitation feel. It didn't work too well. Ah well, it's a test.

One thing is for certain, creating the red/blue 3D (technical term is "anaglyph" in case you were wondering) is for the birds. My eyes are ready to mutiny. The next goal is to find a way to use the 3D glasses I got with "My Bloody Valentine 3D" (technical term: hell if I know.)

Blacula Lives!

I'm not sure how far the idea is going to end up going, but Black has started work on his rendition of Blacula:

You shall be... Blacula!

You shall be... Blacula!

Ha! Awesome...
