Occupy your mind

Many of you are probably following what's been going on with the Occupy movement... now lets say you're too far away from major cities wherein people are meeting up and the like... what can you do? Occupy your mind! What do I mean by that? I mean clear out all the USELESS NOISE mass media tries to fill your mind with and occupy your mind with YOUR THOUGHTS! YOUR BELIEFS! YOUR IDEALS! I haven't watched television in over 12 years... it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life... television is injecting your conscious and subconscious mind with GARBAGE nonstop... Radio... newspapers... magazines... most all major online news sites... TOTAL TRASH... now what what happens to you when you're constantly allowing your mind to be filled with TRASH?! It makes you sick... If you have any sense YOU KNOW who OWNS mass media... and whose agenda is promoted through it... not your's and mine my friends thats for sure... and it does NOT have our best inte

The Powerless cycle

Working on Heart String Marionette has been less of a technical/creative challenge and more of a psychological challenge for me... I used to think I was patient because I had done some stop motion animation... now that requires patience YES but you are still very active capturing frame after frame... you're constantly working... things are moving... Now with the situation where HSM is now... wherein I finished all my major work on the film in February of last year and had to wait to receive chunks of music which I would then edit the film to and do the sound design/foley for it then wait for the next piece... so as far as HSM goes I spent %75 of 2011 waiting... instead of doing nothing I worked on other projects... Now its 2012 and with HSM I'm still waiting... in 2011 I kept trying to press forward... pushing in hopes to finish it all soon... Being an uberector and all I'm used to being in control... but now HSM is out of my control... its in Endika's hands... A

M dot's London presentation pt 2 (w/never seen before new film footage)

Here's is part 2 of the video from the London Macvideo presentation. Big UP to Rick Young over there in London ^_^ and thanks to him. There's 2 short clips in the presentation from HSM...never before seen footage! ^_^ The audio isn't final as that was some time ago... and the Tatsuya voice is a cheap temp version with a standin actor.

Sharing some of your workS

A lot of creative people visit this blog... Here's links to a few of themS that I probably haven't posted before... Ini is a young artist from Norway... she was the "2d production artist" for Heart String Marionette...check her stuff out here Andrew is a young filmmaker from A_Merica who makes a bunch of wtF and often hellZA funny awkward videos like his Heart String Marionette video above ^_^ Andrew did a voice in Heart String Marionette and I did the music for his last short film. Check his youtube to see what the youth of today are doing GAWDDAMN KIDS (Old man voice with fist wave) The homie who made this posted it in the comments of my last post and I thought it was tite so I's sharing it here... its his first feature and is currently in post production...nice work bruh! I already knew this d00d Tyson was an awesome animator based on his past short films then I saw he is making this game?! d00d yer a GENIUS! Check out the Zombox blog for more

M dot Strange update 1/22/12

My Xmas/New Years break was 2 weeks longer than expected because of cancelled flight complications but now I'm back and.... well... as I wrote before I left ...I expected the music for Heart String Marionette to be done by the time I came back and it isn't...  I spent a lot of 2011 waiting for the music but I didn't just sit around doing nothing... I did 8 episodes of Badassery, did a Rabbit Junk video, wrote 2 books, finished the script and storyboards for my next film... so as I'm waiting in 2012 I won't just sit around... As far as HSM being incomplete goes... it's really just a matter of money... No one who has worked on HSM has been paid a single cent... not me for my 4+ years of work and not Endika for his 3+ years of work on the project... To do my part of HSM I do it all myself so the only limit is me..... for Endika to complete his part he has to work with several musicians... professional musicians who get paid for their time... if you're no
