http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/horror/watch/v194941735t8Nzs7Y

Yes, folks, that's right: it's the mythical one BLOB film that is actually good and comes before 'BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite'.  It's 'BLOB V: the Vampire Imperative'!!!  This film, from the year MMV, pits our Hero BLOB against a ruthless supermodel vampire box-factory-proprietor from Europe, Vampiro the Destroyer!!!  And even more mythically and continuity-ously important, this is the crucible film where the 'Hero BLOB' series and the 'Vampire Blob' series meet!  This is the FIRST APPEARANCE OF VAMPIRE BLOB!!!!!!!!!  So head on over to veoh.com and watch it, RIGHT NOW.  I can guarantee that you won't regret watching this, which is more than I can say for some of my films!  I can also guarantee that you WILL regret NOT watching this film, as you will then be unprepared when VAMPIRE BLOB COMES FOR YOU!!!!  

Enjoy this vampire film!  (See, that was a vampire imperative.)

BLOB 3: Dance of the Spider Freak

http://www.veoh.com/search/videos/q/hero+blob#watch%3Dv19491417Z9B4B763

Another golden oldie from the Hero BLOB vaults: that's right, it's Hero BLOB 3: Dance of the Spider Freak!!  Never before seen online, it was originally filmed around 2004 (or 2005), and is of significantly lower quality than my current work, as you will see from watching it.  Nonetheless, it is an important chapter in the Hero BLOB saga, the first movie in which BLOB actually kills a villain(s).  You'll have to watch to see which villain it is...  enjoy!!

Hag Lady Bobo: COMPLETED!!!

Yes, dear ones, yes.  It's time... time to see the fruits of my four or five days of labor!!  Observe: HAG LADY BOBO!!!!!!

Follow this link to see the all-new, all-hag masterpiece from Schedel Luitjen, your favorite Hero BLOB creator.  For all of you timeline buffs, this takes place during the events of BLOB 8: Uchuu Ocho (as yet unfilmed), and serves as a link between the 'Hero BLOB' series and the 'Cloudman' series (and I will be uploading some Cloudman comics when I get home to Texas in a few days, so that those of you who want to see the glory of Cloudman can).

So anyway, this is just a draft, really, but I had to have it finished for its premiere at an art exhibition for the Yellerzine, a local art society's magazine.  Incidentally, the exhibition and magazine both featured material by me (Broken Vessel part 1 in the magazine, this movie at the exhibition) and by Brett Heasman (his newly written Socratic dialogue, which is hilarious!).  So it was like a nebulous reunion of the Vampire Blob: Silent Fangs of Horror cast members!

Anyway, the premiere was great, I got some good feedback, and I'm very glad I managed to make the movie in about four days!  Good to know, as well, that I can go without sleeping for 3 days straight!  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA!

Another Sleepless Night

Dear Friends,

   Yes, it was another night without sleep, only this time I had much less reason.  I stayed up late with my flatmates watching stupid British music videos, all the while constructing my plasticine creations for the night's work.  Then, when all had abandoned this sphere for the realms of sleep, I began.  My picture count on my camera is well over 3000, I think, so that should mean that I took roughly around 1000 pics tonight (not sure about that, but hey).  I was really happy with how some of the final shots came out, as I was testing out a (to me) novel lighting technique which was inspired by Murnau and Gran Torino.  So anyway, God provides!  It turns out that I only need sleep every other day; I suppose this is the inevitable conclusion to my progressively deepening lack of the necessity of sleep over the last three years.  I think it was St. Antony, the Desert Father, who said that a good monk should need only an hour of sleep a night.  Perhaps I would make a good monk!  Can't wait to start my own monastery!!! (Maybe in Florence.  Or Sorrento.  Or on an island of Lake Victoria.  It would have to be somewhere warm, so that we wouldn't have to wear those ugly, huge robe things.  It's tunics or nothing (actually, that sounds dodgy.  I meant 'it's tunics or something else, but not a lack of clothes)).  Anyway...  some more pics on the way, maybe today!!

First Pictures: Hag Lady Bobo: Search for a Body!!

Dear friends: here are some photos, the first ever from my new movie, 'Hag Lady Bobo: Search for a Body'- enjoy!  And keep in mind, these photos are from before I completed the details on these stopmotion paper-cutouts, so they'll theoretically look better in the actual frames from the movie!!

This is Vincent VanTrovier, who features prominently in the movie, on the phone.

This is an early form of the TaskBaseShip, a spaceship from the film.

Hag Lady Bobo (Hag Form) and Penny VanTrovier/Nimbus

The HagSoul of Hag Lady Bobo; this is the form she has after the events of BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite, when her body is destroyed.

Penny VanTrovier (maiden name Nimbus); she is essentially the star of the story.

More Stopmotion Madness!

Yeah, it's only 5:55 a.m., but I'm done stopmotioning for the night.  I got a lot done today, of significantly higher quality than yesterday's work; it's all coming back to me.  And I managed to get the camera to give me the right colors today, so that's great too.  

Pictures soon, fo real!  But I think you should know, I took more than 1200 pictures of this stuff this evening, so I'm too tired to upload it!!

Hag Lady Bobo: Search for a Body

It's currently 8:37 a.m., and I have yet to sleep one wink.  Why, you ask?  Well, knowing me as well as you do, you should know that the only thing that can keep me up past 7:00 a.m. is STOP-MOTION!!  I absolutely love the stuff, and once I start, I have some difficulty stopping.  Or stopping-motion, if you will.  What's that you say?  You won't?  Ah well.

Anyway, the stop-motion was for a new project I'm working on, called 'Hag Lady Bobo: Search for a Body', which bridges the narratorial gap between Hag Lady Bobo as seen in the Hero BLOB series and Hag Lady Bobo as seen in the Cloudman comic series.  It's really rather short, and was originally planned as part of the 'Hero BLOB 8: BLOB Uchuu Ocho' movie (which has stalled in development), but I needed to do something short, as I have a very short time before it must be finished.  

The movie is going to be projected on the wall at a launch party for a local art magazine called 'Yellerzine', whose first issue this year features part one of my comic series 'Broken Vessel'.  They wanted something animated to show on the wall, and I happen to have hands to animate with!  Admittedly, it's been rushed so far, and parts of it aren't my best stop-motion work (it's been well over a year since the last time I stop-motioned!), but it's shaping up, and Hag Lady Bobo's soul is terrifying.  I'll tell you all about it in a future post, and then I'll treat you to some exclusive preview photos, which will probably just confuse you.  Ah well, could be worse!  Your nose could be gushing blood!
