Armour Update

Just got this started, found the foam boards in JJB sports (Forestside) for 14.99. They're interlocking foam weightlifting mats.

While in the tutorial, Click Zach went for a very bulky, futuristic, functional look, I'm going for a more streamlined look based on feudal Japanese Samurai

I measured out the chest pieces for the armour Taking care to make sure it will measure up correctly to my chest, it is recommended you use templates to check first but i'm lazy. (and nearly payed the price for that as initially the two pieces didn't quite match up).

Tomorrow i'll try moulding these to the shape of my chest using a heat gun (apparently a hair dryer also works).

Don't know if this will make it into a film, would hope so. With luck at least it means i'll actually have a costume to go in at sci-fi events. Nobody wants to be the dude dressed as himself, sitting in the corner while all the Captain Scarlet's are mixing with the S.H.A.D.O girls.

Invasion of the Astro monsters.

Rule 5, From Shyporn Theerakulstit's Godzilla: History, Biology and Behavior of Hyper-Evolved Theropod Kaiju lecture.

DON'T TRADE GODZILLA TO ALIENS...
ALIENS CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Check out the lecture, its very funny. Click here

From Invasion of the Astro monsters, Mysterious aliens intend to trade a miracle cure for all disease in exchange for Godzilla and Rodan, you can probably guess where this is going...

The first one...

Hi... I blog now... blogs are cool...

so...

hows it going..?

I'm Chris, I make movies, I live in belfast, tis a funny place...

Currently have several film projects on the go:

The Darkside of Venus. (In Production)
The main project S.K.P.B is undertaking, The story of a failed mission in which the two survivors have badly fallen out but nether the less must work together to make it back home alive.

Warzone. (Post Production)

A foot soldier and his commanding officer are caught out in a battlefield, the officer must decide between loyalty to his comrade or survival... Should be out this week, fingers crossed...

The House (working title) (Post Production)

Thought up and shot on one dull windy Saturday, Two Graffiti artists are invited up to an abandoned house in the hills by their friend, nothing can prepare them for what happens next, also should be out very soon.

Two other things I have been trying.

I've been building a Cyberman Costume for a Doctor Who short film i have been wanting to make for a while. Its coming along slowly... very slowly...
