The Mostly Official Ultraman Sorta Thread! (Ep.3 teaser up!)

[An Edit from... THE FUTURE!] For easy reference, here is Sorta 1 - watch this first!: http://vimeo.com/4891782

So, uh, guys. Zomg. I finally finished episode two of Ultraman Sorta! YAY! :D

You can watch the film and read the funky making-of stuff here on my blog:

http://empiregeneric.blogspot.com/2009/ ... -kind.html

Man, I'm SO glad to have this finished finally. By the way, this is the episode where we shot the bulk of the footage at GFest so if any of you participated in the filming of our evactuation scene, you're very likely to spy yourself in here somewhere. Thanks to you guys, by the way, everyone I've shown that scene to has loved it.

Now, the bit of Japanese there at the very end does say "tsuzuku," or "to be continued."* So that of course begs the question, "Will there be an episode 3?" Maybe. When I originally added that we were in fact planning to shoot an episode 3 but now that is less certain. I would still like to, certainly (if not an episode 4 & 5!) but right now I'm not sure if I should or not. If reaction to episode 2 is strong enough, however, I might be persuaded into pushing forward with the next one.

*

So my question to you guys is this: Do you think I should make another film (or more?) about Ultraman Sorta sometime in the near future? Upping the quality from the last two, of course - there'd be no sense in making a third film if it was nothing more than just another stale repeat of the last two. Please leave comments here or wherever else I might have posted this (YouTube, HenshinJustice, my blog, etc.) and let me know what you think. It'd mean a lot to me to hear from you all one way or another.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it!

:D

Great!

Sort of off topic question...when someone turns into Ultraman...are they in control or is it Ultraman himself who is in control? Something I've always wondered...

Okay, so since I did this video I decided to scrap this video I had previously started work on in 2007: A fake teaser for a movie called "The Return of Ultraman Sorta."

Thought I'd upload it as a curiosity.

More info, of course, here at my blog:

No. No, I don't feel awful about posting so many times in a row.

Anyway, The Brief Adventure of Ultraman Sorta has been given a wee bit of an update to bring it more in line with Episode 2 and the upcoming Episode 3!



Watch out for the CGI Jabba! 8D

Also, Monster Island News did a little piece on Sorta just recently:

Swoot!

Wearing that mask, one definitely feels as cool as he looks! I can't wait to see how it looks on film.

Sheebus. Instead of working on Sorta at all, my friend and I shot for an entirely different project this weekend. Despite not getting anything done on Sorta it was actually a refreshing break. As of yesterday everything is back on track.

Hopefully.

If it is, we have a big surprise in store. No promises but God, I can't wait to see what people say if this turns out well.

That means it won't turn out well. I just cursed myself. Damn it all!

Though I don't think they'll be done in time for GFest, our alien costumes are looking pretty sexy. 8D
