Hello all!
Finally, a nice update with some treats. First off, back in late-September, I did a podcast in which I discussed “Megaman” and film making in general. Give that a listen right here!:

Second piece of fun news is that a COMIC for the film is currently underway! Andrew Decrescenzo, a follow student who I’ve met at my college, expressed interest in the project and through a series of fun events, is now illustrating a prequel comic! You can view his website at the link below:
The comic will cover the events building up to the film as well as the history of Wily and Light, something very present in the film’s plot. The general concept and story were written by both myself and Andrew. The release of the comic is undetermined but will most likely be released the day of the premiere, if not before.
Lastly, and probably most importantly, in approximately 4 weeks, the current cut of “Megaman” will be test screened before an audience at a video gaming and music convention known as MagFest. Some of you might remember that I attended last year to show 15 minutes of the film. Before me, I’m looking at a nearly ready “presentation” cut clocking in at 94 minutes. The structure of some scenes of action sequences are different than what the final cut may present but the ultimate purpose is to see how some of these changes work. Many sequences, both story and action-based, have actually been shortened so this will also allow us to test pacing. The test screening will be an important step in shaping the film one last time in the editing room before the release. And in the event the whole film test positively? Finishing the sound mix and release! Site for MagFest is linked below:
Perhaps I’ll see some of you there!
