Then check out Batman Delivrance. A Batman fan made short that really doesn't make sense. While the visuals were pleasing for the most part (too much used of straight out black though), the story was left to be desired. If you don't know, in this short, Batman is old and and fights Wolverine. Yes, Wolverine. I have know idea why they're fighting but they're fighting in a scene that's all black except for a spot light above. I guess it was just cheaper to not have a set at all. Wolverine looked just the movie Wolverine. Plus one for that and the Batman suit is pretty good. So the final scene which is the fight between Batman and Wolverine, what happens, who wins? The ending is likely not what you would expect. One thing I don't get, so why the heck is the credits in English when the whole short was in French (with English Subtitles). That just doesn't make sense. If you're a fan of Batman and love to see what a crossover of superheros would be like, then take a look a this French Batman short. It's not really bad, it just didn't make sense.

Any videoographers out there?  Well check out these.  If you need some really cool aerial shots this will give you some ideas.  Most people don't have money to have a helicopter fly them up so that they can takes shots from above.  With a little know how you can grab an RC plane and attach a camera with it and you should be good to go.

The footage above is really good minus the little section of the plane visible to it.  Even though the footage is shaky in some instances, it was still smooth for the most part.  Any shaky footage can be cleaned up in post for a smoother look.  I'm not sure how legal it is to fly an RC plane in a downtown city, especially in New York, but none the less great shots and boy can that little plane fly really high.

While the US gets a statue of Liberty, what does Japan get?  That's right, a freaking huge mech.  More specifically, a Gundam.  Please note what you will see in the video below is not fake or composited, it truly is a 1:1 statue of the iconic Gundam.  In addition to that it's head moves, it lights up and there is even smoke that occasionally comes out of the vents and exhaust.  I wouldn't mind if they built one these mechs or robots here in the US.  I also don't mean one the size of a car, but a full blown 1:1 sized one.  Maybe a Voltron or heck how about something American made like the Iron Giant.  Anyways those that loves anime, Gundam and robots don't get too excited because the likely hood this thing will come around to your neighborhood is nil.

People are doing some really cool things with projections.  Take this for instance.  It's real and I'm guessing you have to stay at one place to see the true effect.  The room has to be pretty much dark as well.  None the less, it's still amazing.  Makes me wonder if the little scanner light at the beginning is required to get where all the placement of the object are before the light show begins.  Enough of trying to figure it out and let's just watch the video below.  Created by the company  Superbien from France.

The first ever Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) took place this past weekend and attendance was pretty good.  While I did collect comic books when I was younger, I had never been to a comic convention even though Wizard World was always nearby.  Since I can attend almost any conventions taking place at the McCormick Place, I went ahead and checked out C2E2. For a Sunday, the place was pretty packed.  As you might expect, it was Geek heaven however there were also a few normal people roaming around.  Marvel’s booth seemed to have attracted the biggest crowd.  They were playing some kind of game, but I couldn't get close enough to the announcer to figure out what they were playing.  They had questions such as "Name the inker who colored the brother of Spiderman's worst enemy in issue 154!"  Of course, that was not the exact question, but everyone was yelling the name as if it was common knowledge.  My geekiness is surely fading as I had no idea who the hell the artist that everyone was yelling.  Marvel also had pieces of Iron Man’s suit from the Iron Man movies. There were lots of dudes dressed as Storm Troopers and Cobra Commanders.  As usual, there were the occasional scantily clad ladies, some of whom were giving out free sodas.  Nintendo was there and vendors were selling everything from figurines, manga toys, posters, and really old comic books.  Lots of artists were available for chat and autographs.  Unfortunately for me, the only name I recognized was "Alex Ross".  In the end, C2E2 turned out well, but I've really become a less-than-average comic book fan. My pictures turned out horrible as I only had my phone.  Either way, here they are:

The Streamy Awards 2010 was this Sunday and as of this writing, it has yet to end.  I've never seen a Streamy Award show, but if this is how we are going to celebrate the people responsible for the web's creative video content, we are in big trouble!  This award show sucks.  It's freaking long and they really need to be original with the format because it looks like every other freaking award show on TV except everything looks cheaper and smaller.  They need to cut the cheese, genitalia jokes, lame jokes, and musical groups from outer space.  I always thought the majority of the web video viewers were little kids, yet the Streamy's had presenters talking about balls (not the basketball type).  They're celebrating the creative web works of non-mainstream-celebrities, but almost every other presenters were from has-been mainstream TV shows/film including Steve Urkel, the dead Buy-More guy from "Chuck", Freddy Kruger, and the brother from "Married with Children" (yes, he's still alive).  Every award category introduction has a skit and they're dumb and seem like 10 minutes long. As for the technical production quality, they need to normalize the audio, as the volume was either way too loud or way too low.  The nominees video presentations’ volume would occasionally be low and then go way up when presenters and host speaks close into the microphones.  The video occasionally drops even though my 5mb + connection never dropped frames in YouTube or other video sites. The echo voices and repeating voices were freaking annoying! In a nutshell, the Streamy Awards 2010 was unimpressive.  Kevin Pollak had the best line in the show when he said something like "This is the best rehearsal award show!".
