Day Fourteen

Thrusday. Day Fourteen.

A cool day, so I wore the new superhero Sunman hoodie again on a run today. Later on in the day, I made the design changes to the hoodie - as then posted on the online shop - that I mentioned a few blogs ago I was going to do ( i.e., swapping respective places on the hoodie with regards to the (previously) front side and the (previously) back side images ).

Began imaging the next page for the currently ongoing, superhero Sunman online prequel adventure #3, the top section of the page panel. This will be worked more on soon, and the page (#28) will then be posted.

Day Thirteen - The Show goes on.

Wednesday. Day Thirteen.

Got word today a writers and directors collaborative process ( to create a new TV show ) is about to resume again soon. Good chance I'll pitch in. Certainly an On the Page progressive process I'd like to perhaps emulate in due course with some superhero Sunman based projects ( while I continue trying to think somewhat like a TV network.. ). Good alternative writing practice too, and the opp to see performer interaction re the budding show's ensuing material.

Might be able to contribute one of my domains/sites behind the show project in terms of an additional internet venue it may like to utilize.

Otherwise today, I created and posted a preliminary " holding pattern" home page for that domain I obtained yesterday. Just a general "feel" posed there so far.

On a Sun related topic, today was launched the twin Stereo spacecraft that will be studying and imaging the Sun ( in 3D no less ). See more about that here:

Day Twelve - Some Science, Some Fun

Tuesday. Day Twelve.

At right, just a little something for the late October "season", an idea I'd like to throw out there for the local folks - how about creating a Pumpkin Creatures Festival here for say a week or ten days or so period leading up to Halloween. It'll "enliven" the streets and give the Dartmo an extra zing of remanent identity.

Did my part with the small headed Pumpkin "kin" shown here, i.e. :

............................................ the Shrunkens ...........................

Creatures is a good term to use for such a Fest, as creatures means living beings, and that can include a lot of creative ground.

Back to the more serious... . Got into evaluating names for a domain (and additional company) I may like to use in association with Superhero Sunman, and followed that up with picking up the domain name for one of them.

Also got news today my trademark for Sunman has been now registered in the U.S. .

Rewatched the Nova episode about the Earth's reversing Magnetic Poles - the topic's Sun related ... the Earth's mag field is what keeps our cosy atmosphere from literally being blown away off into space by the Sun's solar wind. Look what happened to Mars when that ( it is theorized to have.. ) happened there.

Not to worry.., when the poles reverse ( during which time the Earth's Magnetic field can become up to 10 to 100 times less than normal ), there's not enough time during that while ( as long as about a thousand years of fluctuating ) for the Sun to do the bad old wolf thing enough to blow away very much of the sky above us.

P.S. : The Sun's what very likely got our magnetic field up and running in the first place to guard our airy abode ( stray magnetic fields carried to Earth vicinity by it's solar wind or mass ejection onslaughts is what's likely kicked off the dynamo effect inside the Earth's molten core that created Earth's protective magnetic shell ).

Day Eleven

Monday. Day Eleven.

That happenchance figure I started to render that I mentioned the other day, I modified some more today for an initial " look" take on the figure. Don't know yet if she will be used in the world of superhero Sunman milieu, but she's "around" (offstage for now) for possible use as a character anyway. This took up a good chunk of evening time.

Watched the latest Heroes episode on NBC. Visited the show's website to look about. The show's additional material on the site are ideas along the lines of some things I want to do as well, and indeed akin to some of the things I've already done online concerning the world of superhero Sunman ( minus the ample resources available to NBC to outsource for augmentive talents ).

Got to thinking I should try thinking, or operating in some ways, like a broadcasting "network".

Days Nine and Ten

Saturday and Sunday. Days Nine and Ten.

These days ( weekends ) tend to be " cluttered" with various assorted other activities, and not much other work gets done save " absorbing" some additional fodder, some of a random sort, some with potential value in terms of the various projects I have on the go. Sunday for instance tends to be "movie watching day". This Sunday did take in also much of the Heroes show marathon on NBC to refresh the memory on some items that I want to keep track of. I would get more done on weekends if I had the kind of computer system design I've conceived in my speculations of what would truly be utilizable in pretty well all settings and situations.

Also visited the site of one myspace.com musical artist - one song heard there has potential. There's the possibility I could consider that person also for a acting spot in some Sunman based project or other. I'd like to perhaps explore setting up a myspace.com site sometime if ( or rather when ) I collaborate on the creation of some world of Sunman based thematic songs with a musical artist, or group, or two.

Day Eight ( a robocomic interlude )

Day Eight. Friday.

One of those computer maintenance days. Meantime, I made and posted a homepage for the new domain name and site I got this week. Later got to fiddling with a pix I took of a couple of household items that adjoined together look like a cutsey robot. I would imagine ( re this modified pix to left ) that the "hands" that are clustered close to the robo's body would extend outwards ( with arms attached that are hidden inside the main body when not in use ) whenever the bot would need to reach for things. Anyway, I went on to make the critter into a robocomic doing some stickler routine at a new comic standup night.


Postscript ( an: can anybody reply to pass along information on the following matter ) Here's something that anyone in the internet community could fill me in about. On my firewall program, I keep getting noted in my inbound events log the following IP source, with various IP address variations stemming from IP 204.16.208.xx, where the x's are numbers. While I was entering and posting this blog entry, for instance, they popped up again on the log, this time with the addresses: IP 204.16.208.19 and host name dedicated19.thehideout.net, and also the IPs 204.16.208.114, and IP 204.16.208.74 . I imagine all these are related.

Day Seven

Thrusday. Day Seven. End of the first week.

Off to a business to business event today. Attended an internet talk there, talked to a couple of organizations concerning reviewing the superhero Sunman sites, and got some information about a local supplier of clothing, before getting the " wondering aimlessly amid a sea of booths " feeling one gets after a while in these sort of environments. Had to get somewhere else then at the time anyway.

Picked up some ideas along the way. Acted on one of them by picking up an internet domain name this evening ( for $5 and change where's the downside on that? ). These kind of activities while not always directly connected to superhero Sunman, my superhero character, these do comprise part of the vision for Superhero Sunman Entertainment Enterprises, my company name - which aspires to develop numerous "cool" endeavers (kind of like the Virgin company).

Not much in the creativity generation (newly added content, and revisions on existing work) mode this week. Some testing of items, and exploration of enhancements, with connection to superhero Sunman. Next week I should be hankering down on that Page to Screen theme - how to, and doing what, to go about making that happen.

Then again, it being so close to Halloween, might try to create a shortened adjunct superhero Sunman prequel tale related to that theme. Did get a happenchance rendering of a costumed ( masked ) female figure this week while messing with a downloaded pix I took ( for a look for a robot ), that I could spin into some kind of character.

We'll see how that week develops. Then.

Day Six

Wednesday. Today. Day Six.

As mentioned in yesterday's post ( in a flash forward ), was the concept idea I had for a website design program, that I had thought of today. Perhaps that's a little confusing - just check Day Five's posting about it.

More about today. Did some reading on potential superhero Sunman topic matter.

Added a new image ( that I spent a little time composing today ) to a non Sunman website I have based on the idea of futurizing the look of the local city by imaging the sense of extra height it's downtown core might have down the road if it developed along the lines of say Vancouver. Just to add something unusual for that site - a potential glimpse into the future.

Not to say intensive building structure is good or bad per se. Certainly greendizing buildings of the future, and present, is something that should be looked to so to minimize adverse impacts.

I guess there's a general connection to superhero Sunman, and my film project interests, to be gleamed from the above in the sense I like to imagine the fantastic, or at least those things that inspire a sense of awe. Hopefully I can deliver that captivating sensation in the debut superhero Sunman feature motion picture project.

On the from Page to Screen theme, have been watching on the CBC, the Dragon's Den series, including tonight's episode. This show features potential investors evaluating whether to pitch in their own capital ( for equity positions ) for the product and service concepts that are being pitched their way. The five investors drive hard bargains when they are interested in any particular pitch, which is rarely, citing their experience, prior collected marketplace wisdom, and the augmentative support and networking their own businesses affairs and contacts can embue these budding Bill Gateses, and their early stage enterprises. Might be able to gleam some useful knowledge from the show that can be applied for pitching the superhero Sunman debut motion picture, and other Sunman or non Sunman projects.

Day Five

Tuesday. Day Five. Yesterday.

Received by post the website editing software, tried it out, but found it not all that everyday suitable for my own use. A limited use version, it's also not viable for updating the superhero Sunman websites.

Having tried it out I did ( I'm now flashing forward to today - Day Six, when I thought of it ).., get a hankering of an concept for a website design program. I have to make note of it, and store that idea away for another day.

Day Four

Monday. Start of the week. Day 4.

As expected, the superhero Sunman hoodie did arrive today. I noticed that I likely should swap the images printed on the front and back since the hood part that hangs down the back partly obscures the representative Sun image on the back image - and if that back image was in the front instead, it wouldn't be obscured. The front image if placed on the back will likely be placed lower, and since it 's a letters only design, it wouldn't matter as much in any case. So I'll see about making that change shortly.

I also tried out the hoodie in the sense I went for a run in it - a good day for it as today was the first day with a noticeable fall chill bite in the air, a brisk breeze, and more cloud than Sun afloat.
It's pretty stout, suitable for keeping one warm, and suitable for late fall weather activity.

The superhero Sunman online shop, by the way, can be found here:

www.cafeshops.com/superherosun

Otherwise, watched the latest Heros episode on NBC. Got some needed goods ( battery supply for the camera - so that I might take pictures of the new hoodie being modeled that might be posted for viewing ). Did this Blog. Checked the Email. I'm not too keen on Email given the number of unfathomable pieces of it one receives. I have concept ideas on constricting that particular flaw of Email. But meantime I'm looking at better ways to receive and convey alphabetic based communication.

One of those days where never got off on track for adding new Sunman content. There are some possibilities this week for exchange though about Sunman projects.

Day Three

A Sunday. Got somewhat distracted atime by the breaking news Hawaii quake coverage today. Otherwise, took in the most recent Smallville Episode, as well as Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. May read some TV show scripts later this evening.

Also got two small pumpkins for decoration... . Speaking of this time of year, I want to film sometime Sky's Halloween adventure episode, parts of which could be filmed in Nova Scotia ( filling in for Maine ). Even perhaps just a clip's worth from some part of the episode that I could post on the Sunman websites, or upload say to a site like youtube.com . A minute, or two, or more, like for instance the scene on the small town bridge - there's a good match setting for that scene in the province.

Didn't mention previously part of the reason for the lack of home ( and other site ) page updating of the two main superhero Sunman websites - software difficulties concerning editing pages and getting them uploaded. However, this week did take the measure of ordering a new web editing software program that should arrive in the next week or two. Look for updated pages once I have the software in hand, and shake it out.

I'll still awaiting the arrival of a hoodie from my superhero Sunman Online shop, ordered over three weeks ago. Good chance it'll be here on Monday, when I'll get a chance to evaluate the superhero Sunman emblazoned hoodie. I could post a pic of it modeled by myself or someone else sometime after it's arrival. Note that delivery times of superhero Sunman wear and gear stuff from the Online Shop for delivery within the U.S. is quite swift, testified by the tee I'd sent there recently that arrived quite speedily to that U.S. location, in comparison.

Check back for tomorrow's Day Four post.

( Note: do take, as is intended, in a humorous bent, the following: )

Maybe Donald Trump will provide some individual guidance on connecting the dots in getting superhero Sunman projects melded together. I admit I've been lousy at this task up to date, but there's mitigating circumstances in that regard that I may get into later. However I do certainly need to be more bilateral. Something that I will be working on.

Postscript ( an: can anybody reply to pass along information on the following matter )

Here's something that anyone in the internet community could fill me in about. On my firewall program, I keep getting noted in my inbound events log the following site:

source IP 204.16.208.69 , with curious hostname (sandy at) dedicated.thehideout.net ( that hostname name just sounds you know kind of sinister )

I've a few constant returning entries for the inbound events log ( many from China ), but for the time being, I'll just note the above.

Thanks to anybody who can give me input about this.

Day Two

Day Two.

A Saturday... , scrambling about from here to hither for a couple activities left not much chance to get much done today. Did pick some general knowledge of the eclectic kind at a science symposium during the afternoon session. Wanted to attend the morning and evening sessions additionally but was tied up with other matters then.

Main things missed in the morning session was on the topic of the Post Human Future, and on the history of of project Bluebook, and selected cases found within that program. Missed the evening slate, a speaker who's written non-fiction books on the history and evolution of the U.S. space program.

In the afternoon sessions, the main topics of conveyed note concerned some Best Evidence cases of UFO sightings, and a case made for possible potential means of interstellar travel within our local star neighbourhood region of the Milky Way.

Didn't have a chance to chat with any of the speakers as I was pressed for time today to get from A to B, and since the location wasn't composed in a way best suitable for socialities.

I might explore contacting a film producer associated with the event.

Check in tomorrow for Day Three's post.

Welcome to Day One

Hello all, it's Day One for the Superhero Sunman Backstage Reality Show - from page to bigscreen chronicles.

Don't got too much time just now for posting, so just a quick entry that I'll update later today.

Basically this blog is intended to portray the making of, behind the scenes, journey towards the realization of the debut superhero Sunman ( wide release ) feature motion picture.

One thing to say about it, it's a really tough slug to get from here to there, but if there's a will, there's a way, right ??!

Chow for now.

Welcome to Day One - Update

As promised - the update follows ( after the essential recap of the earlier post )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The recap of the post earlier on on Day One :

Hello all, it's Day One for the Superhero Sunman Backstage Reality Show - from Page to Bigscreen Chronicles.

Basically this blog is intended to portray the making of, behind the scenes, journey towards the realization of the debut superhero Sunman ( wide release ) feature motion picture.

One thing to say about it, it's a really tough slug to get from here to there, but if there's a will, there's a way, right ??!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so what's the deal with this blog? Well, I want to portray the process of how an independent creative visionary can muster the task of bringing together a major motion picture project while remaining true to the intrinsic worth and vision for his original work. While dealing with and transending the particular constaints of his personal life. In other words the soap opera of my own life.

What I envision is that these daily accounts of this journey will evolve to higher levels of media presentation, such as a video blog, or a behind the scenes feature as suitable for inclusion on the DVD package that will follow on the heels of the realized feature motion picture debuting the origin storyline of superhero Sunman.

The input of you, the reader, can play a part in these ongoing sagas. Your suggestions, insights, potential assistance, collaboration, and witty repartee, can indeed help make the journey began in this blogathon achieve a successful conclusion.



------------------------------------- The Particulars of DAY ONE .

Friday the 13th might not be the most aspicious day to begin this blog, but why not. So what if a black cat just happened to cross my path today too. Forget about it, already. The most point is - what did I do to move the yardsticks forward in the world of superhero Sunman today.

Well yesterday, on a rainy day great for keeping one glued to one's computer, I did add 3/4's of a page for the latest superhero Sunman Prequel online comic book episode as is found here: www.superherosunman.ca/asupersurfskysummerp27.htm . I'm not entirely satisfied as to how this episode is evolving, but it is what it is so far, and I can bring things together by the end of the episode. Right now my challenge is to determine what happens immediately next - bringing Sky into the fray to confront and pursue Matt, while getting Kay out of her tight spot within the penthouse confines of the DS Industries skyscraper. Then even getting Sky to the beach and surf in time to meet Sapphire - as he, in a spot at the time himself, had foolhardedly promised.

Part of the problem in tackling what happens next is the landscape. I'm not currently in L.A., so cannot scout about to get an exact idea of where the action will now flow. I've been there, so I'll likely use general memory to guide me forward.

Yeah my renderings not so great, partly a lack of proper software. I will be looking for support in the graphic visuals end of things.

Today, of course I started this blogathon. It might help. I'm flexible - I'll keep trying stuff until something works like a charm. I'm due for a string of fortunate circumstances, so take that Lemony Snippets.

Just have to be constantly aware not to sellout the farm while trying to proceed to greenlight.


Potential investors and backers - I have plenty to offer, and it's not even all Sunman related either. I've many website concepts that can be wonderfully developed further. Why I mention this, just since it takes resources to accomplish great projects, such as the superhero Sunman debut motion picture. If one or other of my concepts can be used to support this effort, that's a bonus, while these other tangent concepts can be brought to fruition as well.

An example of one stream of potential income that is based on the superhero Sunman property, promotional T-shirts. One can envision the initial sale of 100, 000 T-shirt units in the U.S. at a five or more dollar return per unit after costs, that's half a million dollars return. I even have the net domain names that can assist this facet of the Sunman enterprise.

I've also conceptual ideas for reconfigured computer design, email, writting aids, download devices, and so forth.

Other potential movie projects that I've written as screenplays ( which may need some afresh revision perhaps where time and collaboration allows ):

Real Real Gone ( about a misfortunate cop in L.A. )

BladeRunner - Requiem of a Blade Runner ( my attempt at a captivating spec Sequel )

Batman - My World ( another spec Sequel concept I took a stab at - in which world weary Batman gets "revitalized" )

I've other movie project concepts I'd like to explore and in due course realize too. Including adaptations. Not to mention the Sunman Sequels that are planned to naturally ensue .

Oh yes, it figures that I have an idea for the next Superman movie that can be boiled down into seven or eight words ( including " to" ) that could make Superman maybe "more intrinsically interesting". But that's just how my mind works - always looking at cool what ifs, could bes .

Hmm, I'll be more circumspect in future posts. No need to wear out your eyes.

"See" you tomorrow for Day Two.

Bye.
