What’s this? That’s right, I did a video review! I’ve considered doing things like this, as well as appearing on podcasts, for a while now, and this art book presented a perfect opportunity to try out the video review thing. It’s a completely foreign thing for me to do, and surprisingly I recorded it all in one take with no edits! I also did all my own stunts. Paper cuts are a real concern when you’re doing something like this. While I was unable to secure the insurance necessary for the shoot, I threw caution to the wind and shot it anyway! Take that, you bastards in suits!
Anyway…
WATCH as I nervously try to think of what to say next!
SEE as I fumble with turning pages while on-camera!
LISTEN as I go on tangents about CG ruining film and make jokes about apes!
READ what is probably the longest post title you’ll ever see, unless I’m intentionally trying to make one longer!
Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of Planet of the Apes: The Art of the Films was released by Titan Books on July 8, 2014 and it is available now via Amazon and other book retailers! If you’re a fan of the films and are also interesting in filmmaking, definitely consider picking up a copy (preferably by clicking that Amazon box above)!
Disclosure: Titan Books provided me with a review copy of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of Planet of the Apes: The Art of the Films.
Damn! You outdid my Individual Eleven review. Now where am I going to find an anime with a longer title than that?
Hahahaha, that’s exactly what I was thinking when I wrote that about the title being long! I wasn’t trying to do a long title, either. Just worked out that way. You could always drop the ultimate title A-Bomb and review the movie with the longest title ever: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D
With a name like that it has to be good, right? Of course, then you’d have to do one of the sequels and somehow wind up tying things up anyway…
