And it has been quite awhile. I am sorry about that, nerds can be lazy, and, unfortunately, I'm REALLY good at it.
I know that I promised in my last post that I would finish the story of Laine and Guy, but that will have to wait for another time, but I promise that the end of the story is forth coming. I decided to post tonight about a project that I have been working on for the last 5 or six years (I'm a lazy nerd, remember?).
As well as being a journal nerd and a food nerd, I am also a comic book nerd. I have many (a fact that my wife reminds me of every time I purchase any new ones) and my favorite superhero would have to be Batman. I can go into the reasons why in a future post, by let's just suffice it to say that I think that Batman is a total bada$$! No use arguing the point, he just is. A few years ago (ok, five or six) my little brother Steven and I decided that we wanted to produce a short Batman film of our own.
First, a little introduction...
Steven (also a comic book nerd) is a producer for a small production company in Utah. He also has his own company, Super Heumann Productions (www.superheumann.com) that he is also busy trying to grow. When he is not traveling all over the place on adventures and filming segments for his company, he is happily married and the father of two. He is also a very gifted screen writer.
So here Steven writes what I think to be a brilliantly crafted Batman story for his older (and WAY more handsome) brother to animate, and what happens?
Nothing.
Nada. Zilch.
The lazy nerd has messed up any plans of this project seeing the light of day. Steven's plans of becoming a famous Hollywood power player are dashed.
Until now.
I had the chance to see Steven, as well as all of my other siblings, whilst I was in Utah for Thanksgiving. We had a great time, and we talked at length about this particular project, and we both felt that it was time for me to get off of my butt and get the project going.
And so I have done...I am going to work on this project in a linear fashion, going from the front to the back, with the company logos being and opening titles constructed first. And in honor of Steven and his production company, his logo gets displayed to you first.
As you can see, I've created three different variations. Sorry about the quality of the images, I had to reduce them down from the final image size to get them to post quicker. As you watch them, make sure that you have your sound on, and I would love to hear any feedback on which ones that you all really like. who knows, you may be the ones choosing the logo that appears in the final film. I'll post my logo for Rusted Robot Productions (my company) next. Thanks for keeping with me!

Just a quick note: Since the last post the third logo has changed at the request of Steven.
Happy New year, by the way.
