New Video: U-Killersaurus Review

This week's review is on the kaiju: "U-Killersaurus."

What with him being given such constantly praise, as both a monster and a toy, I decide to give the review the gimmick treatment. Something I only give a handful of some of the my reviews to make them look more entertaining and funny rather than usual reviews which, yes are informative but still bland. With this monster I decided to give him a more "appropriate" entrance to match his first appearance in the film he appears in.

My only actually grip with this review (which I blame on Pinnacle Studio 12) is for the lousy focus of the where the monster's entry into Earth's Atmosphere is. It was intended to be my room but as you can see it came out incredibly fuzzy. Apart from that tiny issue, much like the rest of my special "gimmick" reviews, I'm proud of how this came out. Even for such a geeky hobby, at least I'm trying to make it look a little more interesting.

Future videos to be expected

For those of you watching me on YouTube under my username "Goji73" you'll notice that some people are asking when the season finale for GahAF will be posted. Well, because I'd rather not response to emails individually from people, here are a list of projects that are in store in the near future from me...

Firstly, Godzilla and his Amazing Friends's season finale, episode 13, I HOPE to get done before the beginning of 2012. Already, phase 2 (of 3) is three quarters of the way complete. All that is left to edit is the climax, which I hope will be a shocker to my viewers and fans of the series.

Second, I have a video project which should be up either before or after my next collection update sometime the week after next week. What with me being a fan of the Three Stooges, expect this treat to coincide my favoritism the show and my giant monster nerdiness.

As for toy reviews, expect them on a weekly basis between Wednesday and Friday, unless I give some of them a gimmick. I don't want my ideas to get lost or rusty. That's all for today, keep your eyes peeled!

Broome Up Front Show

I'm here to update today with my newly released College Project, Broome Up Front.

For our Television Production class, we had to produce AND direct a 10 minute show that had to relate to BCC campus life in a way. Mine was about gaming and how it effects the students on campus. Overall I think I did a pretty good job. I'd like to give a big thanks out to Ben Sperduti, the host of the show for contributing and being available on time and doing a great job.

Doing this sort of project made me realize something that's a little frightening to me. How much work that must be done on a deadline and having it relate to a certain audience I know little to nothing about (preferably) is HARD. Being able to work on something at my own pace and aiming it at an audience that I/we all share and like is easy since people who watch me know what I'm into and therefore I can do easier and not be so worked up or stressed about it since I'm very intent about making/doing this right and not botching them or not making them good enough.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy, it took me weeks to put together!

SOPA threatens Internet Videos

For those of you still paying attention, the "Stop Online Piracy Act" (or SOPA for short) is still in the process of trying to be passed, but fortunately still has to go through the millions of internet users who are trying to prevent it from being passed by any means possible. For those of you who are unaware of this movement, SOPA is creating a bill that will censor any sort of website that infringes on posting any sort of copyrighted material that belongs to the entertainment industry in an effort to stop piracy and downloading altogether. Filtering and suing several infamous sites such as Facebook, Google, and my topic, YouTube, preventing them from expressing art or free expression.

I believe this is complete ignorance and abuse of power on the Government's part in what can be controlled or regulated. Not only are they threatening new and/or rising talent with this "super censorship" nonsense, but if these copyright laws are put in place, they're recklessly imprisoning people with no proper justification, simply for either playing music in the background or just uploading a famous video. The entertainment industry has vastly expanded thanks to its numerous followers whom have been spreading their works throughout social sites via downloads and several rising talents have appeared on YouTube simply for using industry work in a non-profitable way (ex. Smosh, TeamFourStar, Machinima, etc.)

What makes this act dangerous to our society of video makers and posters is that the Film, Music, and Gaming Industries are all supporting this act to be passed, most likely because it's there property that being spread across the internet. I believe this is BS since while it technically is considered "free advertisement," their product is being promoted in a social and widespread manner so that it will be easier for users to find easier without having to handle with monetary issues. Seeing as these industries are more powerful than the common user, this could spell trouble for us rising users who are trying to enter this field a more comfortable way.

Because the stuff I post on YouTube and DailyMotion DOES contain fragments of copyrighted audio, I'm hoping this bill does not get passed as it also endangers my account and abilities and it also violates the proposed consequences that will follow if the bill should be passed. My works would be removed and I could get corporal punishment simply for entertaining my subscribers in a field we all enjoy working in, even if it isn't on a professional standard. The people around me believe this bill won't be passed for its ridiculous set of rules, but I digress, such a movement should get recognition if it concerns endangering potential talent in a new way in an absurd and ludicrous way.
