Howdy BingoRagers. It is the height of summer and I have need to post.
This is a pic of Z. and I modelling the latest in post-earth self-contained environments, during the fabrication process.
The #ZzorhnAndBingoRage Show successfully completed the LIVE-production of our scifi
exploratory vehicle, #ELE420: “#ELE420AreYouReady ?”. The “live” show was actually our second installment in the #ELE420 series; we uploaded the first episode to YouTube as “#ELE420AreYouReady - Recruitment Field Trip”. All characters introduced in the first episode are present in the LIVE-production second episode.
ELE420 - Chapter 01 : Recruitment Field Trip
If you tried to catch the LIVE broadcast of the second #ELE420 episode at our Ustream channel, however, You would have received no audio in the feed. A wrong setting cut the audio channel. My apologies for the glitch and sincere thanks to you for trying to check it out. Please don't be afraid to catch our next LIVE show; they are scary fun to do and occasionally funny.
We recorded the show.. yaaayyy.. and I will post after I edit the video and clean-up the audio. :P {Ed. : Done, posted, below.}
The show prep was running late, as usual. Z. Was clowning around, but working efficiently, as were our guests. We had a hanging, two-sided set panel with a moon exterior and spaceship interior. Other paper props include 3 “space helmets”, “Neila” (troublesome stowaway) and the good spaceship “Lollipop” built by Z.
One camera focused on the panel and another laptop cam focused on a “cockpit” set |(next time, we will have a better mic.). Eric made some “greenscreen” videos to show our blastoff, from an exterior view. The moon and earth animations are by Eric, as well.
The story was originated by Zzorhn and written up by Eric. Most dialogue is improv, guests have minimal direction.
ELE420 - Chapter02 : #ELE420AreYouReady ?
Zzorhn and I built the props at our downtown #FortFrances "open studio", #StudioChezZzorhn , with the assistance of Denise G. and other volunteers. We also reused the Sturgeon papercast as our "whale".

Space helmet's first iteration; as beachball and filched cardboard. The beachball comes from a super giant retailer that is somehow making more money by preinflating their beachballs somewhere else, sealing them and rendering the beachballs non-reinflatable. A deflated ball no longer means "patch and blowing it up again"; it now means "go buy another". They must have an inflation step on this side of the Pacific, or they are paying to ship bubbles of air by volume. What mean-hearted son-of-a-bitch invents a beachball that can't be reinflated, anyway?
#artkitteh stress-tests our next-generation portable human biosphere management system. Z. quietly embarassing himself, for science.
Our official #ZABRSpaceProgram helmet, with official ZABR colour scheme and rocking the #MapleLeaf . #StudioChezZzorhn June 2013
#artkitteh and human volunteer pressure-test the finished #spacehelmets. "Life is fragile; but strong at the edge of space." :old, old #Ojibway saying.
Zzorhn took the lead on the Space-Program props, building the helmets, spaceship and our main villain, "Neila". I did the detail painting on the model and took the greenscreen stills of the #rocket at my place.
Some stills from the Earth/asteroid impact and Lunar self-destruct animations, put together in MSpaint by Eric.
