Hey Graham and everybody else at Macross World,
Although I loved Macross Plus & Zero...I don't have any in my collection. : ( I'm sorry to say.
I would love to do some scenes with those toy's and models. Just don't have a budget to purchase those.
In fact, Macross the Digi-stop motion was a joined collection of both mine and my buddy Matt Piper.
He had a kid and did the right thing I guess...moved out...selling off his collection...thus,Bye,Bye studio and half the collection I was filming with. He's selling the Regult that was used on e-bay right now.(Personally,I think it's a bit over-priced) but it's for a greater good...I suppose. There was just so much more I wanted to do. Still can. Just don't have the time right now. There's some side projects I was working on several months back for my friend George Sohn at Toynami. One being a Golion Stop Motion that World Events might use on a DVD. Hopeful that they use it on
a U.S. release of GOLION rather than Voltron. My goal is to breath new life into the Giant Robot fandom. So many shows didn't get a real chance here in the States due to violence or subject matter. That's dumb but I guess that's why...leave it to U.S. T.V. to dumb it up. Even Toonami is sucking these days aside from Ghost in the Shell.
I always loved Hobby Japan, Model Graphics,ect. magazines and had thought ...how cool would it be to make those
awesome photos come to life. When I was seeking out original Golion scenes on youtube, I stumbled across a load of classic animes that I'd see toys and models for in Hobby Japan. Ones like:Godannar, SPT Layzner,Zambot 3, Combattler V, Voltes V, UFO Robot Grendizer,ect. Makes me want to do shorts of those as well. Especially since there's a bunch of companies putting out some new products. I'd love to get ahold of a Soul of Chogokin Zambot 3 !
Well, I went way off the deep end from the subject of Macross.
Say,I have a butt-load of pics you might like... How can I send them to you?
for example... DYRL Max vs Miria (in the Meltrandi ship...hallway scene)
Various Zentradi and Meltrandi model ships with SDF-1 (Arii & kit-bashed)
Well,Thanks
Been trying to get in touch for a while !! I'm in Santa Cruz now ! Don't know anyone here. Any of you from around here? Please drop me a line !!! I'm bored outta my skull !
Sincerly,
Matt G.
