Busy Weekend + KirbStomp Trailer

Posted by Kirbopher - January 20th, 2011


I've not had ten seconds to stop and catch my breath ALL DAY until now.

MAGfest was an absolute blast, as expected. They keep gettin' bigger and better every single year and I love it. Next year they'll most likely be moving out of the Hilton hotel and into an equally bigger and better place to house everything. Notable things of the weekend were seeing friends of mine from the previous years such as Matt Mercer, Jon St. John, Dave Lister and a bunch of the crew from ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and as meeting some new people from the site, as well as the likes of Grant Kirkhope, Eddie LeBron, Wes Johnson and several others. Did a few panels, such as the "Voice-A-Palooza" which consisted of me doing a Woody Allen impression and the massive TGWTG panel even!

The biggest personal highlight of the con though was filming a live-action short film with my friend Marc Swint, my traveling-partner for the weekend, over the last two days of the convention. It is titled..."KirbStomp".

Marc pitched me this idea on the car ride there and I agreed. So we shot the whole thing in two nights and managed to pull it off. The plot? I go to MAGfest and the internet sends an brutal and dangerous assassin to kill me. As I run for my life, others try to stand in the way of this mysterious killer, but nothing can stop him! Will I come out alive? Find out in February when the film is finished.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT. I've had little time to rest this past week and won't have much time during the weekend either. I've just recorded two voice roles for a few of my friends' student films to be entered into the Dusty show in May, I've got like four to five more things to record for this weekend as well. Working on a contest entry for the MegaMan Tribute art-book by Udon, of which a few of my friends are doing entries for too and they're lookin' awesome! I've also got plenty of animation left to take care of, with only two more months left to finish everything in time for my thesis.

Wish me luck!

Oh, ok. Good luck.

Seems like you had a blast at MAGFest. Can't wait to see the KirbStomp film.

Wait, Wes JOHNSON?! I went to high school with his son!

Oh very cool! Yeah he had I think all three of his kids with him at the con, they were all super nice. :]

i heard the protomen played at magfest this year? did you get to see any of their show

I did catch a little bit of the ends of their two acts when I came in looking for Kroze. I'm not a big follower of them, but they're definitely some really talented folks. Also I met one of The Mega's for a minute or so.

Seems like you had a very good time at MAGfest. But good luck with your thesis film, KirbStomp, and whatever else will make you busy within the nest two months.

P.S. What does TGWTG stand for?

Thanks! It's ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.

Is that you or your friend?

Who?

dude what the fuck another magfest why wasn't i told?
i missed out again...

Good luck to ya.

Wow. I've been hearing so much about MAGfest over the past few days. I hope I get the opportunity to go one day. KirbStomp looks awsome. Can't wait to see it. Oh, and is that the same John St. John who voiced Big in Sonic Adventure? I wonder what he sounds like IRL...

Yes it is, he sounds like a nice dude. B)

With a shorter haircut I mistook you for TheSpoonyOne for a second.

Yeah apparently people think we look a lot alike, it's the hair.

Cheesy movie, but i like it :D
