Episode 3: It Came From Beneath The Streets of San Francisco

Whew! Finished this in record time! Part 3 of my 3D animated movie with a 50s sci-fi style title, “It Came From Beneath the Streets of San Francisco”. In part 2, you were given your first glimpse of the Manananggal, a monstrous breed of vampires with huge bat-like wings, capable of severing their upper torsos from their lower bodies to fly into the night to prey on unsuspecting, pregnant women.

Now in part 3, meet our protagonist Kathleen Sullivan, reporter for a sleazy tabloid paper called ‘Curiosity’. The tabloid paper’s tagline? “Curiosity kills a cat but it sure sells a lot of tabloids!” Of course, Kathleen hates her job! She’d rather write for a prestigious paper and win a Pulitzer but hey, right now, it pays for her knockoff Manolo Blahniks.

Enjoy this episode. You won’t be seeing part 4 until after a month or so. I will be traveling to promote my book, The Givenchy Code. It is a parody of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. Someday, I’d like to make it into a 3D animated movie as well unless a wise producer beats me to it by buying the book rights and making it into a -ahem- hit film!

Thanks to everyone who viewed the first 2 episodes on this blog, on YouTube, in CloneClips, etc. Many of you have been very generous financially. Your donations via Paypal are certainly helping me a lot. I hope you continue to support me, so I can finish this project (and other 3D movies in the future) for all of you to enjoy. Please click on the Paypal Link to donate and thanks again!

If you haven't heard of PayPal, it is the safest and most highly regarded method of payment online (affiliated with Ebay). I apologize in advance if this is not convenient for you. And now, sit back, relax and enjoy part 3 of “It Came From Beneath The Streets of San Francisco.”

Episode 2: It Came From Beneath The Streets of San Francisco

Here it is, part 2 of my 3D animated movie with a 50s sci-fi style title, “It Came From Beneath the Streets of San Francisco”. “IT” is revealed for the first time in this episode: the monstrous look of this new breed of vampires, who live in the secret underground tunnels of the city and fly out at night to terrorize the denizens of San Francisco.

Like I mentioned in my first blog, this is a rather ambitious project-- attempting to create a full-length 3D animated movie using iClone Studio 2.5; Crazy Talk, with its type-to-speech feature for creating dialogue; and some other movie editing software-- but most good things in this life make you sweat a bit, right? Though it’s a lot of hard work, it’s fun stuff! And it is a very freeing feeling knowing that I can actually transform my books and screenplays into 3D animated realities, in iClonorama Vision, no less!

I'm very encouraged and humbled by the tremendous response to the 1st episode of "It Came…"! I’ve received some accolades, some constructive criticism, and a lot of encouragement to continue producing this movie by those who “can’t wait to see more!”

Thanks to everyone who viewed the first episode on this blog, on YouTube, in CloneClips, etc. Many of you have been very generous financially. Your donations via Paypal are certainly helping me a lot. With your donations, I bought some 3D backgrounds and props, which I needed to produce forthcoming episodes that take place in underground tunnels and secret rooms. I hope you continue to support me, so I can finish this project (and other 3D movies in the future) for all of you to enjoy.

P.S. Congratulations to REALLUSION on the release of their iClone3! Hope to get this fantastic version of iClone someday!
