New Interview!

What's up guys, Sean here.

So, on Wednesday I interviewed my neighbor's son, Crescenzo Notarile.  He just happens to be a professional cinematographer with credits such as Ghost Whisperer and CSI (his IMDB page can be found HERE).  I conducted the interview, which turned out to be about 26 minutes, and I'll have it up on YouTube soon.  I still need to put in the introduction, credits etc.  He's a really nice person and he offered me an invitation to come to the set of CSI if I'm in Los Angeles and they're filming.  By the way, this is him in a screenshot from the interview:


Thanks,

Sickness and Power Outage

What's up guys, Sean here.

So I was sick practically the whole week. I left school at noon on Monday and I am going back Monday morning.  I had a really bad fever to go along with fatigue, coughing, sneezing, congestion, body aches, and nausea.  I didn't do any makeup work until Friday.  The miraculously, I started to get better. But then on Saturday, the power went out.  It was out for over an hour at the time of writing (Saturday December 15, 2012).  Yes the power is still out, yes I am writing this from my phone.  On another note, when I was sick I got literally nothing done, so no new advancements on any movie or tv props.

Thanks,
Sean

Castiel's Trench Coat

Hey guys, Sean here.

So with my post regarding my building of the EMF Detector from Supernatural (no, the parts have not come in yet), you may have guessed my love of the show.  This character, Castiel, wears a trench coat. The issues surrounding the exact coat are quite mysterious.  First let's get some history about the trench coat in general.  The trench coat was first produced by Burberry for British Officers during the First World War.  The classic trench coat
-is mid-calf length
-has a caped back
-epaulets
-two rows of buttons
-cuff straps

Castiel's coat has all of these except epaulets and it is about knee length.  The RPF (as mentioned before) has, luckily, identified the exact trench coat.  It is a Stafford, produced by JC Penney, tan trench coat.  It, sadly, along with the navy blue Clavin Klein tie, has been out of production for years.  Because of this, the best chance of getting it is eBay.

I decided to cosplay as Castiel when I went to my friend's house for a Supernatural marathon.  I didn't have the correct tie of coat, but it turned out pretty well.

Proof:


Thanks,

Aliens VS. Cheerleaders

What's up guys, Sean here.

So I'm in a school play this week.  Yes, really.  It's called Aliens Vs. Cheerleaders.  I'm an aliens henchman.  And to be a good evil henchman, you need to die in the end.  Luckily that was written in the script.  The play is Sunday at 4:00 PM and on Monday at 7:00 PM.  The rehearsals have gone pretty well, but yesterday many people were missing, so it didn't go perfectly.  It a really interesting experience, considering this is my first play at my current school.  I did a few plays at my other school, before leaving the performance part and entering the technologic part of theater.  This would have to be my first play in four to five years.  I honestly didn't know it had been that long since I did a stage performance.  I hope the performances of Aliens VS. Cheerleaders go really well.

Thanks,
Sean
