FAT MONSTER FILMS presents "O2" ... Every. Breath. Counts.

Good luck. Can't wait. However, I just want you to know that my expectations are high. And I have no intention of being let down. And, like I just mentioned, can't wait.

We delight in elevating expectations and then dashing them to earth to leave a miasma of cursing in their wake. Enjoy!
 
How did you find your actress?

I believe we originally found Ana's reel on NowCasting.com when our lead actress, Julie Horner, for Where The Heart Lies got snowed in on the East Coast. We had one day to replace Julie and did not have time to do auditions. Thus, we reviewed reels available on NowCasting.com looking for an actress who we could have confidence in without a reading. Ana had a very strong reel with guest starring performances in CSI Miami, CSI New York, Two and a Half Men and Vegas. We contacted her agent and got him the script and sent some footage from previous projects so that she knew our level of production quality. Fortunately for us, she liked the script and agreed to do Where The Heart Lies on such short notice. The shoot was such a good experience for her that she told us she'd be happy to work with us again and so we wrote the role in O2 for her and called her directly (one of the nice advantages when you establish a relationship with an actor is being able to book them directly without having to work through their agent).
 
I'm wondering how you guys dealt with the back EMF on the plasma welder? ... one of my pals over in the Delta Quadrant had one of those jam up on the recoil and accidentally welded his boot to the hull.

... because the energy beam wants to push me (and the ship) away from each other... and then of course my welds get sloppy.

Please advise...


I think I can field this one.
The problem is twofold. Let's have a look, shall we?

We (the 365th) have found by experimenting that it helps to incorporate a thin lead inner suit lining when welding. This deflects the majority of EMF and improves stabilty in a zero gravity enviroment.
And before every mission, we also run a lead spray 'pre-coat' on sensitive areas of the ship. While this helps with the back EMF, it is primarily used to guard against sun flare EMFs.

Finally, always use a conductive tether so that your body is at the same Electro Magenetic Potential and the ships surface. That eliminates static buildup between you and the ship. If that EMF passes over the engine cables, it can induce a current into the wires and can actually cause an explosion. We thank Jimmy (rest in peace you crazy booger) for that tip.

Hope that helps.

(Excuse me for jumping in Mark, I'm lulling.)
 
I cannot get this image of Buscemi answering this highly technical question out of my head...and it's freakin' me out...:shocked:
 
I want to take a moment to urge everyone to put NO AIR at the top of your viewing list. If you have time to see only one film, please make it NO AIR.

Cmon man...I've been sitting up here in this snow covered shithole for 3 months and you can't send me something in the way of beer? Gimme a fkn break man.
 
Hey Raptor,

If you had been up early you would have seen a whole series of images I posted of your 3D work. Really cool stuff. However, upon reflection we decided we should let people experience the amazement upon seeing the film for the first time. After the entries are up and viewed we will repost the original concept drawings and the progress of your work.

For now, though, please crawl back in your shed with those beers. We'll call you when we need you.
 
I caught the stills too Mark. Thanks for pulling as that was prep work. :)
Yeah, hey, I can take a hint. Fine. Bye. See ya. I, for one, Like bears.

//better put the smiley on that. ;)
