NEW BASTARD FILM/DESIGN COMING SOON!
First off, I wanted to apologize for the lack of blog posts! Bastard & Friends was out and about in Orlando Florida for the past week. A post regarding this trip will be surfacing soon. Stay tuned!
OK, so back to the original topic. As we look ahead into our Series2 future Bastard releases, one of the elements that come into play is the film/animation perspective. Most of you are aware that when a 'Bastard scenario based' shirt is conceived, there is also a short film that is also affiliated with the design. Here's a little bit of background regarding our designs that are 'scenario based' for those who have been sleeping under a rock for the past 8 months: during the conceptualize phase, we choose a Bastard story/scenario that we or others like yourself have encountered. For example, 'The Can't Park Bastard.' We then proceed with the design phase of interpreting what that specific design would look like on a shirt based on the story of the Bastard itself. Meanwhile, we also write-up the story of the Bastard based on the facts and events pertaining to the individual(s). Thereafter, a decision is then determined as to what goodies will be included with the shirt. In Series1, we included collectible, real 16pt. stock baseball cards that are the same weight/layout as Pro Baseball collectible cards such as 'Topps.' Still undecided about Series2 giveaways, if any. Now, comes the fun part. We decided long ago to separate ourselves from most other brands by not only customizing everything we do, but also including a short film/animation with the majority of our Bastards. This, and sorry for saying it again for those who already know what we're all about, provided folks a direct correlation with the shirt/design. So, if people looked at our designs and said to themselves 'I don't get it'...well, watch the film/animation and there you go. In Series1, we offered the public traditional animations. But, for Series2 we chose to take a different approach. This time around, we will be incorporating not only the traditional animation method, but also live reality action. The best example would be something similar to, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Since our upcoming films needed special attention and detail due to the complexity and assimilating content of the combination of live action and animation, we decided to onboard a very talented young film director from So. Cal, PeeDeeFlo to assist us. This dude is raw, mind-blowing, stunning, and most of all creative! A director known for his YouTube channel that consists currently of over 20,000 subscribers and over 500,000 channel views, PeeDeeFlo takes risks, pushes the envelope and as most would describe him as simply...'sick!' If you don't belive me, check out some of his videos below:
Kings of YouTube -- which currently has over 1.6 million views in just 10 months.
Kings of MySpace -- which currently has over 2.5 million views.
Adventures of PerfectDisk -- which displays more of this guys' talent.
As the film has already been shot as of last week and PeeDeeFlo is currently working through the edits and cuts of the first Bastard to be released, I'll give you a glimpse of the 'Bastard Scenario' via pictures shot over the weekend. So, what Bastard is coming out next?...it's one that is most common amongst are society right now. I'm sure this person is in the same proximity as you as you are reading this. His name...'The Bad Breath Bastard.' Story line and additional details are soon to follow. But, for now you can just enjoy the photos of the setup/atmosphere -- which takes place at a party in So. Cal. The party and setup of the actors/performers as well as the cameras and lights were complimentary of P-D-Flo Films.
Camera setting up is essential
Staging the ambience
Look! It's one of YouTube's finest and notorious improv performers, Timothy DeLaGhetto
