So what are YOUR other hobbies?

[The Loafer]

As some of you know, I'm an amateur astronomer, love taking astro-pics with my scope and astrocam. Fun hobby.

But I have OTHER hobbies, as I'm sure you do too. One of those other hobbies, is in "starring" in several extremely low budget short movies, with most themed via horror flicks. Many of these were done years ago, back in the early to mid 90's. Keep in mind, this was done before sites like youtube made doing a movie something of a novelty, and it was done mostly with a camcorder/vcr for editing. Aside from having fun (which we succeeded), one of the main purpose was to help a friend get some practice in to get into the movie industry (still an ongoing process eheh). Yep, the real star of these was my friend Brett, who was responsible for the camera work, editing, directing, most of the writing, etc.

note: some of these have some adult language or gestures. A few of these were also unreleased and were spiced up edit wise with new editing toys available nowadays.

Finally, I took a stab and created my own short story, a small comedy vignette that laughs a bit at life's beautiful moments. This will actually be a series:

Finger Moments vol 1 (attention span friendly, less than 2 minutes long! :) :) :) ):

Enjoy (I hope!). If you do, please do share with your friends these links. If you don't, share them anyway and let them know what a dufus this guy on the hyperspin boards is in a "you gotta see how bad this is yourself", I'm not too proud eheh. Also whether good or bad, please don't hesitate to leave a comment.

Leaves Suck!!!

Cool vids man wathched a few, so which guy are you in any of em?

[Visitor Q]

Renault 5 GT Turbo looks fun!

[The Loafer]

VQ: Nice bikes, saw the other thread

cathaldub: I used to have a soft water aquarium tank when I was a kid, loved the hobby though I never got back into it. Cool cars too!

BBB: They certainly do suck :). To answer your question, in Evilman, I'm the dude running at the beginning. In Dollyville, that's me visiting my friend (though it's my house that we'd just moved in). In Finger Moments: that's my voice and hand :). Booniesville was actually supposed to be a horror movie, but we never got a chance to finish it. So with a stroke of brilliance, my friend Brett turned it into a pizza delivery comedy and imho it worked. Youtube does have Booniesville outtakes and you can see me in those (the guy running with an axe).

Interesting fact: one of the actors in Evilman actually did become a part time actor. He's been in a few local plays that got great reviews, so we weren't completely "talentless". :)

[BadBoyBill]

Evil man was funny, was it the Creole Kid that became the actor?

[The Loafer]

The creme rises to the top, yeah it's "kid creole". Even his "frightened character look" scene actually worked. Thanks for the compliment!

[The Loafer]

note: keep in mind, those vids that was me weighing a bit more, about 80 pounds more than I am right now (Dollyville is a prime example of me at my heaviest).

[BadBoyBill]

Oh man dollyville was awesome, wake up after a doll jumps you with a playstation controller in your hand. haha!

[The Loafer]

I hope you enjoyed the outtakes at the end. Er, if you check out the outtakes of the movies, you'll see I've always had problems with door scenes! i have no idea why, should probably see a shrink on that... ;)

[Visitor Q]

Thanks Loaf. I'll have to watch the videos when I get home from work.

Yea the R5 GTT was a fun car, tonnes of trouble but fun all the same

[The Loafer]

Thanks Brian, I guess you liked it :). For some reason, I can't get the youtube tag to work, if you can fix my original post to add these, I'd appreciate it.

[brian_hoffman]

Done :)

[The Loafer]

Thanks :)

[Visitor Q]

I got a friend that made a movie, I can't remember if Troma picked it up or not.

[The Loafer]

It would seem to fit in with the Troma brand ;).
