Meet The Masked Hermit

Hey y'all!

Today I'd like to talk about the Masked Hermit. It was the second play I wrote, back in high school, and I'm returning to it now! I've penned an outline for a complete restructuring of the play, and I'm hoping to get it put together soon for broadcast as an internet radio-play! We'll see how quickly I'll finish this, but I'm really excited about it!

The plot follows an alien with a hermit crab for a head as he makes his way through a Scientific Research Cruise Ship, while being pursued by the evil Starzor the Conqueror! Meanwhile, his main squeeze Mari tries to convince her uncle not to be so judgmental about her boyfriend's fishy face.

Hope to present it to you soon!

Cheers,

Schedel

PS I have a video-shoot on Monday for an online advert! I'll link to it when it goes online, but right now I'm still preparing for it. I'll be doing voice work and physical work in front of green-screen, which I've wanted to try for a long time!

Enough about me, let's talk about KAMEN RIDER!!!

Hey pals and palettes! Things are still going well with Innocence, and all the many other projects. Some stuff I'm working on right now is:

Innocence

Blob Christmas Special II

Blob Christmas Special II Preview (animated)

Chicken Man 2 (rewrite)

Cloudman's Secret Identity/ Goodiness League (short stories)

BESIDES THAT, I like to watch other people's films, and two things really excite me today. One: I just received in the mail Larry Blamire's 'Trail of the Screaming Forehead', which is sure to be amazing. As I was working on my Classics dissertation, I didn't have time to watch it today (SAD FACE), but I DID make time to finish the newest Kamen Rider Den-O movie that I've been watching!!

Kamen Rider is an amazing series originally created by Ishinomori Shotaro in 1971, and is currently enjoying its 40th anniversary, with a commemorative movie that just came out in Japan. It also recently aired its 1000th episode, in the newest incarnation, Kamen Rider OOO. But what I watched was a spinoff movie from last year about Kamen Rider Den-O, a Kamen Rider who travels in time on a time train and is possessed by characters called Imajin. Basically, I think it's one of the best Kamen Rider series out there, and every single episode and movie I've seen of it has been uber-enjoyable. This particular one was Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider: Cho Den-O the Movie Trilogy: Episode Yellow (vomits from overexertion of tongue)!! It was great. And the series is safe for the whole family, as long as they can read subtitles, which is also fun. I like the tone of the series; it feels like the tone I used to have in my Cloudman stories, which i hope to continue!

Anywho, watch them. You can download them from www.tvnihon.com with subtitles. Go to the DDL forum, then select Kamen Rider DDL, then select from the Kamen Rider Den-O options. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure!!

Ciao

Vampire Blob- an oldie but a goodie

Dear Pals,

I upload here an old favorite- the original preview to Vampire Blob: Silent Fangs of Horror, the 2008 moviefilm from Nadeau and Luitjen. It is very cool, and uses no footage from the Edinburgh portions of the film, since it was made before they were filmed. It does, however, use a shot from Hero BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite. Can you spot which shot that is???

Ciao,

BLOB for President, Part One!

Dear BLOBpals,

Still trying to wrap your head around this 'Vobama' character? Well, your essential reading is the short series of one-page adventures, 'Hero BLOB for President' !

I'll release it here, just for you! I wrote it in 2010, and am still in the process of inking it. Here's the first installment! ENJOY!

POR FAVORRRR! Feedback for Hero BLOB

Hey friends!

My pal Tim pointed out to me that the font I'm using was blurry and annoying.

So what do you think? I made the font bigger, so hopefully it's easier to read, but what about other aspects of the blog? Is it over-designed? Has the site read Vobama's biography 'The Audacity of Trying Too Hard' too many times? Do you not get that joke because you don't know who Vobama is?

Well, for the last one, I can do you a favor and upload my brief animation, 'Hero BLOB: Vobama is All Washed Up'. For the other questions, YOU TELL ME. Feedback, por favor!

Love you guys! xx

Pengy Sends his Message!

Dear Readers and Friends,

I have here for your pleasure today a special message from Pengy, the flying penguin, Cloudman's sidekick and Hero BLOB's pal, card-carrying member of the Goodiness League! It's in Penguinese, so have those dictionaries handy, because he won't say it twice! Of course, you can watch the video twice... or three times... OR MANY MORE TIMES. Go for it. DO IT.
Cheers,

Your Penguin Pal,

Schedel Luitjen

The Innocence

Dear Viewers, Readers, and Listeners:

Updates galore! I'm working on the second Cloudman novel in the current series, entitled (for now) 'Cloudman's Secret Identity'. It's a chronicle of the somewhat brief romance between Cloudman and Cloudwoman, and will likely come to include also the first Goodiness League adventure (don't know what the Goodiness League is? SHAME ON YOU, YOU'LL HAVE TO READ TO FIND OUT).

I've also begun another little story, this time a murder mystery which takes place during the brief limbo period after BLOB 12, during the time that BLOB is absent from Innocentville. It's called 'The Innocence' for now, though I may re-title it 'The Innocence Killer'. It follows Innocentville PD's Officer Jackson on his hunt for a brutal murderer who is targeting seemingly random citizens of Innocentville. But can he find the link between the victims and stop the vicious murderer before it's too late? Or will he himself fall victim to the madman's killer will?

Yeah, clearly I've been reading too much Thomas Harris.

Meanwhile, my friend Quincy is coming into town tomorrow, which makes me 'super duper excited' as Amanda Bynes would say. For the occasion, I'm thinking of trying to get together my ragtag but wonderful voice team to record a little some-some before he leaves the country again. You may remember Quincy as the voice of Mayor Kettle and Santa Claus (and Paco) from the Hero BLOB Christmas Special last year. Don't remember? THEN CHECK IT OUT RIGHT FREAKING NOW on www.blastocyst.org.uk !!!!

I'm also working on what I hope to be a very short piece featuring Jack In the Box Man, which will then hopefully be showcased on Blastocyst, as well.

And I have secret plans brewing, as always. But now they're brewing very near the surface. Let's just say they involve Lord Byron and an excessive amount of satin, and leave it at that.

Ciao for now, BLOBpals!!
