Arkham City parody, Awesome Tribute final scene, and Series
5/20/12 by RicePirate
After Pico day, I dropped by NYC to record a short session for Edge Studio with Jay Snyder (some of you know him as Dan Green). While in the city, I crashed at my buddy's house while he was at work. Unable to sleep, he suggested I play Arkham City. 9 hours later, I was reminded of how much I've been missing since I stopped playing console games.
That said, I had an idea for a short parody ... and naturally, it's been growing out of control. That said, I hope to have it done by the beginning of June. It features the voice of the talented and sexy Mr. Brock Baker.

The Awesome Tribute was a wonderful learning experience, namely in my limitations. There were about 4 other scenes that never made it in. That said I'll be finishing one last scene : Secret of Awesome.
I also plan to post the compilation (with the additional scene) on YouTube, and hopefully it'll get a little more face time as a whole, rather than segments. The last 4 scenes seemed to kinda fizzle out on Youtube without much view-age, not sure if it's cuz they just plain aren't that good, or that I made a mistake in separating them.
----
The series is also still on the plate. Had a nice long conf with Hans about additional ideas. And while the pilot script is complete ... I'm pretty sure it is no longer "complete", and will need an additional half woven in. Clean up. Vocals. Animatic. And we'll see where it goes from there in terms of execution (additional animation help, etc).
----
In terms of VO work, I need to reach outside my comfort zone and start making some connections here in Minneapolis. They won't be as fun and fruitful as those in NYC, but nobody's just gonna hand me opportunities ... so ... hustle.
I've got the studio, I have plenty of experience ... at this point, it's just a matter of hitting the pavement.

Now that you've learned to mimic his voice and his animation style, nothing can stop you from cutting him down, wearing his skin and using your newly found power of influence to promote your former self. Then eventually, you will slowly return to being ricepirate as ego fades into memorial oblivion.
it's the near perfect artists scheme since van gogh's faked death!
Hold on, I'm takin' notes...

I didn't know you were in TC, I always thought you were an East-caster. I'm 515, dog. Next time I'm up, I'll buy you a beer.
I love beer!

Batman: Guano
Originally the bat droppings, but I figured this subtle but still implicit.

I think I may have already said this somewhere "Your impersonation of Ego was so perfect"
