I warned you about this on Saturday and it's here already. This is Slipstream, my vlog on pulp culture. Pulp culture is a catch-all for horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. The first issue is all about my background, the draw of the genres, and how they're all related to each other and reality. This is also my entry for the Geek & Sundry Vlogs channel. They're looking for 10 new vloggers to join the channel. Even if I don't get selected, I plan on keeping up with the videos. I don't want to set a schedule just yet, but I'm thinking two a month is pretty reasonable. Besides, I have other video series dedicated to art/craft and home haunting planned that will debut this month.
Insider trivia from the episode:
- I prepared a huge visual aid for the Neil Gaiman segment that I couldn't get into focus on screen. My scanner is too small to pick it up, either, so I went straight up competitive forensics with the hand signals.
- This took 9 takes with a loose outline memorized in my head. The camera fell over after take 5, hence the perspective jumps.
- The Geek Love segment came to me on the spot in my last take. It really was just window dressing. I filmed similar segments on The Handmaid's Tale, District 9, Friday the 13th, Jason and the Argonauts, Marie Christine (musical), and Star Wars.
- The painting in the back is one I took over for a family member who abandoned it. I also painted the fire dragon, rusting robot, and stained glass Gin Gwai (The Eye) fan art in the back.
- That is the piano I arrange all my music on and, yes, I was working on some Nightmare Before Christmas and Legend of Zelda arrangements.
