College work

Right now, the tumult of college work I'm having to complete is mounting up. I've started chipping away at the mountain with my toothpick, in the hopes that I will one day actually complete this stuff.

The ramblings of Dr. Diabolicus

Today yeilded the completion of my self portrait video project. I have had to endure long hours making the countless props/set effects and making sure everything had a sci-fi b-movie look. Dr. Diabolicus (Jason) managed to pull off the mad-scientist look which was essential to the film. With the help of a puss-filled prosthetic boil, which was applied using latex and women's makeup (Which was kindly borrowed from Kate), the image was complete. Further to the sick boil, I decided to add a dab of BBQ sauce for a pussy dripping look, and it ended up being a rather successful appliance. The only drawback was the fact the liquid latex I used had partially dried out and the appliance was rubber -- not latex -- meaning the blending edges could be partially seen.


With the lead actor in costume, in makeup and ready to be filmed, the lighting was sorted and aimed and filming commenced. Two long hours of it. The lack of cigarette breaks only added to the tension on set, as a disgruntled Dr. Diabolicus mumbled about his lack of nicotine during takes. More crew members would have been helpful, since this would have prevented the boom mic from making an appearance in the film, causing a retake. Eventually, the final shot was in the can, sighs of relief echoed from every corner on set and we began the grand task of cleaning up.

A well deserved Burger King meal at the end of the day had to have been the best fast food I've tasted in a while.

E-mail improvements

I'm taking this opportunity to ask for everyone who visits to please send me an e-mail using the link image to the left (E-mail me!) and send in your thoughts and comments regarding the design of this place, and what content I should include in the future! Thanks for your help.

Incoming!

Holy crap, there's an update!? Yes, yes there is. College has been very demanding over the past few months and I regret not updating Boomsticks a little more often. I'll be upading a hell of a lot more now, since the sudden rush of assignments has subsided (At least for the time being). I'm sorry to all my fans who come back here day-in day-out to check for new content, I'll make it up to you, I promise!
