IDIOT ENGINE ep 47 Chasing that Great White Whale!

Join me and Artist/self-publisher/teacher/podcaster Javier Hernandez as we discuss chasing that One elusive art project... You know the one, the GREAT WHITE WHALE, Ishmael!!!(Man, I've gotta read Moby Dick... dangerous making reference to a story you haven't read yet!)

Who can stop...ZOMBIE MONSTER ZERO?!?!!

Who can stop ZOMBIE MONSTER ZERO?!! is my latest SUPER MONSTER MOTION animated short and breath a sigh of relief because there's NO "Robot Rap" included in this one!
I incorporated live action, stopmotion, and some specific effects in this piece that I think work okay. While every short I do shows me how much I have yet to learn, I don't let that discourage me, Why? Because every short I do, shows me what I can do with what I DO know! I say, Celebrate what you "Can" do rather than lament what you "Can't" do.

Leftover paint? No Such Thing!!!

So, what do you do if you have leftover yellow paint after you finish your wrap-around t-shirt face mask you're gonna use for your next stopmotion silliness? You go back in to that painting with the giant robots blasting the city... Here's a snapshot of my work desk circa Tonight...
I'm fightin' a cold, but I'm hopin' a prescription of creativity will cure me quicker than you can say, "Take two and call me in the morning!"

ZOMBIE BADGE ZERO the Enforcer Superhero!

Zombie Badge Zero
The Enforcer Superhero

He Slips out of the Shadows
and Into the night

Protecting the innocent
with all of his might!

He can dodge silver bullets
and stakes to the heart

He can eat a can of beans
with nary a fart!

So breath a sigh of relief
when you're lying in bed

'Cause Zombie Badge Zero
is out flashing Red!

What the F@#* am I doing with my time?

Okay, even I'm getting kinda skeptical with how I'm spending my limited free time now... Kitbashing (making my own model out of parts from other pre-existing model kits) a spaceship for my latest Super Monstermotion stopmotion video actually does kinda feel like I'm wasting my time... NOT!
Hey, you gotta have faith in your creative side, your "Muse" so to speak. Why follow your Muse? It can't be any worse than following anybody else, that's for sure! I promise you one thing, there's a kind of integrity you nurture when you do. So, I say give your creative Muse a chance, you might find wasting time never felt so satisfying!

ZOMBIE NOMAD ZERO the Loner Superhero! Stopmotion video with ... gasp...a beat?!?!?!

Here's my latest experiment with stopmotion. I'm having a blast and am now ready to make a slightly more ambitious short, step by step it'll get done! But for now here's

Zombie Nomad Zero,
the loner Superhero!

He's got no Friends
and he's got no foes

He's got bottled Lightning
coursing through his toes!

So take my advice
and give him space

Zombie Nomad Zero
may win the Human Race!

Squeezed out another Stopmotion exercise!

I'm really busy with stuff, but managed to squeeze out a quick little stopmotion exercise. Sometimes life is so crazy all one can do is just keep moving, and this is just me "Keeping moving". You've heard of Dynamotion and Stopmotion? Well this is... SUPER MONSTERMOTION!
