Boarding Pass to Ohio

Ok So when I went to go see the star wars concert in cincinatti I went alone. Yes alone. I cant tell you how many times People have asked me the same question over and over again. " You went to Ohio alone?!" "You went to ohio just to see a concert?"
Yes I went to Ohio and Kentuckey alone. Yes I dont know anybody there, yes I have never been there before in my life. Yes I went there for only 2 days just so I could see an orchestra concert that happened only on one day. So what.
None of my friends were big star wars fans. so they didn't want to go just for a concert, None of them could really afford to go there for only 2 days, well 1 and a half days. SO since I couldn't find anybody to go with I went on alone.
I really wanted to go, and I learned my lesson when I was a teenager. I remember missing out on a lot of things just because I had nobody to with and I regreted it in the end. SO I told myself not to do that again. Dont miss out on something you would regret later on. And I knew that if I let this oppertunity pass, I would end up regreting it forever. Yes forever cause I remembr that stuff. I left for ohio and I saw the concert and had a jolly good time.
I stayed in a cute little bed and breakfast in kentuckey, the lady was really nice too.
I came back to New York and everybody Told me how gutsy that was. Many of them msaid that they wouldn't be able to do that on their own. well I'm glad I was able to inspire some people, somehow. That was awesome.

roomates

My cat Reggie- meizter and my roomates dog Chibi Chibi get a visit from Jay and Ryannes cat Battle Cat. This is them during dinner time. The first day or two Battle Cat spentmost of her time under the couch. She eventually got used to the fellas and came out and started playing with the rest of the team. Reggie and Chibi are used to each other already, so they dont pay much attention to the fact that theres another animal in the house. This is them having dinner one night. Pay attention to Battle Cats expression when Reggie drops his food dish and Chibi goes after it. It's funny the many different expressions animals make. In the end Reggie and battle Cat shared their meal since Chibi ate the rest of Reggies dropped food.

Give kids a Lightsaber and...

In a concert event of course they would give out free things to the audience. For the kids they gave out lightsabers. Ok, give a lightsaber to one kid and they will play around with it. Give a lightsaber to hundreds of kids and they will go out and kick the crap out of each other. I found this very funny, I mean imagine all these kids in an open field with glowing toy swords in their possesion. What would happen? They would try to knock down anything in their path.

Star Wars Cantina

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Fri, 16 Sep 2005 21:52:00 -0700

Click Here To View
This is the Last part of the Night. All the performances were done and the composer was trying to get this little R2D2 to work. It took him a really long time because the droid didn't want to obey the spoken command. Finally he was able to make it work and they played the Star Wars cantina song, in where everybody came out and danced. There was a small fireworks display by the end of it.

Sorry if the shot looked really shaky, I was trying to keep it steady while there was all this clapping going on. Near the end you could see some of the crowd that was there. I was in the very front so I got to see everything up close.

the Final Jedi Theme

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Fri, 16 Sep 2005 21:50:00 -0700

This song is actually the last part of the Ewok theme in episode VI Return of the Jedi. The last part of this song is my favorite because of how it stops and starts and all the energy that is in it especially towards the very end. The composer was very energetic for this performance, he just kept on jumping up and down while composing. You could kind of see a little of his movements and reactions near the end.

Also, two sword fighters came on stage during this performance. One as Luke and one as Vader, there was aso somebody there as the emperor looking on, like in the movie. You cant see the emperor as well as the other two but he's right there at the corner. The lightsabers they were using were some of the master replica lightsabers, so they had to hit each other lightly in order for the blades not to break.

Vader Unleashed

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Fri, 16 Sep 2005 21:47:00 -0700

Click Here to View
This is actually the Empire theme. The reason why I called it Vader Unleashed is because this reminds me of the power that Vader held over anybody who stood in his way. the director of episode V The Empire Strikes back mentioned that Vaders role in Empire was a lot more ruthless than his role in ANH. In Episode IV ANH there were governors who basically had control over the entire means of what the empire does, and Vader was the little lap dog that the governors could control. If you remember in the scene where all the governors are having a conference they all talk down to Vader, one even insults his religion (that is when Vader started to force choke him). Vader had no real control he took orders from Grand Moff Tarken (who told Vader to realease the other guy).
When the first Death Star was distroyed all of the governors were in it. Now there was nobody to stop Vader from doing what he did best, force choke people.
That is why in Episode V Vader was in command, he decided the fate of everybody and there wasn't anybody there to tell him otherwise (which leads to some of the greatest scenes in the Star Wars movies which was Vader killing off all the Admirals that he didn't like and then apointing new ones that would bite the dust as well if they made a mistake).
Therefore, Vader is unleashed.

A flying guy

This was the last big performance of the night with the flying guy. He was really good. No strings were attached and there was no net either. It was cool. If you pay atention you notice that the composer looks back right when the flying guy starts spinning around and flying.

I was sitting in the front row. The only things seperating me from the rest of the stage was this floor area and then this little pole thing in front of us. The flying guy was right in front of me floating over my head and stuff. It was cool.
The fly guy did two performances, one in which he flew to the princess leia theme and then the star wars theme in the end.

Battle of the Heroes

Here is some actual footage of the stage. And probably the best new Star Wars song. Of course the performance parts are still in the dark because I had my camera hidden, but eventually I didn't have to hide my camera anymore.

By the end of the performance you could see the chorus leave the stage taking their flags with them. One of the performances that I didn't film was the march of the flags song from episode 1 which led to the chorus carrying the flags onto the stage and then taking them out.

The intro to the concert

This is the Introduction of the Star Wars concert. Daniel Logan introduced and narrated the entire show. This is the opening star wars theme with a view of my finger. and the concert hall ceiling.

I had to keep my camera hidden so I couldn't get great shots in the beginning. Later on I was able to actually take my camera out and get some good footage.

This is The Performance of Deul of the Fates during the Star Wars Concert. They didn't allow cameras in the concert so I had to hide the camera and could only get audio. Sorry fellas. But there will be other ones with video and audio in the not too distant future.

The Next Morning

Here is some stuff at the theatre after seeing star wars. It is 6:30am and we had just finished seeing star wars. I went back later that day.

Excuse the resolution. I filmed this with a friends digital camera that was not meant for night vision, so I had to bring up the brightness and contrast a lot. A few of these images look a little over exposed, but at least you could see something, before it was all basically black screen.

aww. I miss star wars. Also, this was the only time except for the 3rd time I saw the movie that I actually saw it with other people. All the other times I went alone. Thats what happens when you are single, have a star wars obsession and live alone with family in another state. Ah well. no biggy.

Here is some stuff on the line waiting for the actual movie to start.
I was basicallt up since 9am that day. I had to go to school and then over to work for a really long staff meeting. The entire week I was unable to settle down, I was just so excited. Just ask some of my co-workers who were there. It was just nuts and a little embarassing being so excited. I'm such a dork!

My friends and I didn't leave until maybe 1am from work, we later walked over to the Zeigfeld theatre and waited until 3am to see the movie. We got out at around 6:30am the next day. The sun was out and everything. Anyway, it was such a great experiance and I was glad to be a part of it.

Going for Cincinnati

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 13:38:00 -0700

one day left and I will be going to the Star Wars Concert in Cincinnati. I will be blogging this. This event is probably the last big Star Wars event for the next, forever! I can't wait to go. I'm gonna take a friends camera with me to film it. Cameras arn't allowed in these kind of events so I'm gonna need to hide it. I'm am mainly doing this for my little brothers wh really wanted to go but couldn't because of lack of funds. So, I'm hoping that by filming this event and posting it they would be able to see it. Hopefully maybe by August we could go on a trip again. Maybe to Chicago, there will be a Star Wars event later this year there too.

At the Star Wars Line

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 13:22:00 -0700

Click Here to viewA few days before the premere of Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith I visited the NYLine at the zeigfeld. They were the coolest people ever. Here is a little something I put together. This is the first day before the storm.
This is the Boba Fett DJ jamming at the Star Wars line. When I visited the line I met so many interesting people. Boba was the quiet kind and he provided star wars remixed music for everybody that walked by the zeigfeld theatre. I just wish that I knew about the line sign up sooner. I would have definately lined up with them. This picture was taken 2 days before the film premiered and you could just feel the energy everywhere. All the people on line had tickets for the midnight showing and were basically working in shifts. I was able to get 3am tickets which was great. Better than waiting for the next day.

Starting anew

I have another video blog that is floating around. I'm just starting out so I dont have that much happening at the moment. I made this one so that my name would be easier to find out there especially on google.

I am putting all my old blogs in here. As well as some new ones, I will actually be placing the same blogs on both sites so it won't be too weired.

Krysta Aria Pen

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Sat, 20 Aug 2005 19:42:00 -0700

A character from the Naveridean Series

I first created Krysta when I was 14 years old when I was a member of the Japanese animation club in my school. A project that we were assigned to do was to create characters for a comic book. We were placed into groups and each one of us had to come up with one character each. I originally created Krysta to be a secondary character. Seth which was the character I intended to submit for the project seemed safer to enter in as a possible leading role and I was going to use Krysta for another project I wanted to do on my own.

The group comic book project fell through, nobody didn't really want to do it and there were a lot of issues with certain people who wanted their characters to be the lead. I took my characters back and I decided to continue the storyline I had developed. From there I developed the rest of my characters and eventually the Naveridean came together and NaveStar was born.

I developed Krysta at first to be a secondary character and she started getting huminized so much that I had developed a strong attachment to her.

- This drawing was done in Pen on paper.
- Krysta is wearing her Naveridean uniform in this picture.
