This was my costume for a scene I was shooting today.  Come a little closer so I can tell you the news.

I showed my sister the first cut of the Iron Man spoof video I’m making for Bite TV because she loved the Iron Man costume I made, and she and I saw Iron Man 2 on the weekend (review forthcoming).  It was funny to put it all together: the time spent shopping, making the costume, travelling, shooting, and finally editing, and seeing that it all comes out to a minute and sixteen seconds.  That’s movie magic for you.

I made all of the music for the video in Logic and the biggest challenge was putting together a hard rock sounding rock that sounded like one of the Black Sabbath or AC/DC songs you hear in the movie.  I came up with something so dope that I wanna make a song out of it, even though it was only supposed to be a hastily assembled quickie kind of thing.

I’m having a lot of fun with my work right now.  The year started out really rough, but now it’s levelling out.  Bite TV is pretty much a dream job.  I said months ago that what I really want is for someone to pay me to make videos for the Internet and WHAMMO – here I am with the added bonus of writing comedy blog posts.  I’m not bashful about my desire for them to hire me full time, either.  It’s a good creative outlet, they’re major media but still under the radar enough to do exciting things, they’re small enough to be hungry, and if I was full time with them I wouldn’t have to have that part of my mind racing about securing additional work.

If you’ve got a website or TV channel you think my style would be well suited to, let me know because I will rock the spot.

ONE LAST THING: Please don’t forget to send me your suggestions for what I should spend my $100 Google Adsense gift card on!  This is the experiment: I want to spend it on words and phrases suggested by you guys, and we’ll see how we do.  Click here to see the video I posted to my Youtube about it.
