Help Support Indie American Tokusatsu!

Yup, that' be the reason. Not really sure how far it went though, but he's kinda disappeared. He seemed like a really cool guy. He was kinda in charge of sfx so when he dropped out, it just fell apart. To be honest, you didn't miss out on much.

Disappointed really, I did a bunch of CGI shots for Cyber Gear that now means nothing :disappoin

Damn, I remember Franz. Jeezus that Zero Hour stuff was awful. Talk about diving in face first and leading a whole bunch of people around.

Brings back memories quite frankly. XD

Well I'll be damned. Check it out:

As of this posting, the GKaiser Kickstarter has gotten $1,055 and has eight days remaining. So I guess the man proved us wrong in one respect.

Still, I have my doubts on the quality of the finished product but here's hoping he doesn't make those people regret donating their money. I'll consider prepping the marinade for my hat when we get a trailer.

I think you agreed to those pictures of a half-eaten hat. :laugh:

I think he put in some of his own money...

 

[Tom Constantine]

I'm waiting for a smug reply from him to be honest.

I would have to be pretty dumb to do something like that.

I pledged to my own project from another account, and now my Amazon Payments account is canceled?!

Warning! Credit card rules forbid project creators from paying themselves. Any pledges made by a project creator to themselves may cause Amazon to cancel a project creator’s Amazon account, making it impossible to receive or remove funds.

While Kickstarter prevents project creators from backing their own projects from the same Kickstarter account, Amazon will detect if the project creator uses a new Kickstarter account and/or a new Amazon account to make the pledge. Amazon looks for the credit card info as well as other primary information to determine if a party is attempting to pay itself. This is not an Amazon-specific policy — this type of transaction is considered an attempt to create a "cash advance" and is forbidden by all credit card companies.

Please note that Amazon may not detect this action until a project succeeds and they attempt to collect funds. While the project will appear to succeed on Kickstarter, Amazon will later suspend any Amazon Payments accounts controlled by the project creator, making it impossible to receive/remove funds.


Hopefully this isn't seen as a smug reply, just pointing out I did not "donate" to myself. I don't have any money to "donate to myself" with anyway.

Can't wait to see the final product, jfreedan. You don't want to let all those donations down.

My apologies for the sudden thread necromancy but I was recently reliving the hilarity of this thread and came across something in one of Mr. Martell's posts (on page seven) that I felt I am now able to properly respond to. So I will.

I've tried to be nice as I can be, but I honestly don't know where you have gotten the belief you have a higher level of film-making skill than I do.

Please show me the best looking film you've made that demonstrates you can make a tokusatsu show that even looks as good as the original Ultraman. Hell, show me anything you've made that even compares to the first episode of Ultraman.

I know this isn't a fair request. You don't have anything that compares to it (believe me, I've suffered through every single one of your films). You've yet to create something on that level. But you know what? It's also not fair that you're trying to tell me what is possible with no budget when you've never created anything like this before yourself, even though you've been trying to make a homage to that show for several years.

Carey Martell, I present to you OGGRA, VOODOO MONSTER FROM HELL, a film that I feel proves that I am capable of producing, at the very least, 60s and 70s-style tokusatsu effects work. Here you go:
