Hopefully these will be finished soon!
I've been working on one of these for a while now, and I plan on shooting the footage for the next project soon. This post will serve as an update on my STEEM-FU short film and also as an opportunity for you to help with the narration for the SOCIAL MEDIA WASTELAND short. A lot of the video animation skills I've been picking up and working on have been practice to help prepare me to finish the STEEM-FU movie.
STEEM-FU : THE WAY OF THE STEEM
I originally had this idea and shot the footage for it over a year ago. The goal is to put put a STEEM-based Kung Fu movie featuring @papa-pepper and the @little-peppers, among others! This “movie” will be released in segments, and eventually I will assemble the whole thing together. I've got the footage compiled and I'm just working on finishing the audio for it at the moment.
While I had originally hoped to have the first segment out last year, my editing skills and capabilities were not where they needed to be, and it got pushed to the back burner. I'm back at it now, though, and I'll see if I can put the first episode out in the near future.
If you want to see what I did to get in character for this one, you can click here. Also, I’m not trying to poke fun at any culture or people group, I’m just making a Kung-Fu movie along the same lines as others before me, and using similar themes and looks to pull off a more authentic feel.
SOCIAL MEDIA WASTELAND
I have a rare opportunity in my location for shooting some amazing footage. An old town was flooded out years ago to allow for the creation of a lake. Part of the year the old town is under water and the other part of the year it is exposed. What can be seen when the water level is low is a barren, desolate wasteland. I thought that it would serve well as a way to represent how social media used to be.
The goal is to film am apocalyptic short as a type of promo video for steemit. I've got a lot of the props and wardrobe ready to go, and I know all of the basic scenes that I want to shoot. Below I will share the general text for the narration. While I have a certain goal and specific way that I want to present this, I'm also willing to take suggestions and possibly include some other sentences or things that people may suggest.
I've been on steemit long enough to know that we can often create much better things together than we could ever do on our own, so if you have anything that you think would fit with what I share below, please let me know in the comment section below.
SOCIAL MEDIA WASTELAND - NARRATION TEXT SO FAR
Like I said, that's the best I've got at the moment. If you think that you can help make it even better, please give it a shot in the comment section below. I hope to have both of these projects finished before the end of February, but we will see. Hopefully I can shoot the footage for this second one within the next week. Thanks!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-i-am-serious
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
The Steem Fu is strong with this one...
You are correct!
It will be awesome to see the steemit kung-fu soon. I watched alot of kung-fu movie while i was much younger. It will definitely get my fantasy anyday anytime. Great work @papa-pepper
It will be an excellent movie bro @papa-pepper
We are waiting for your movie to watch.
Keep going forward brother.
Hopefully soon!
I cant wait this film good job @papa-pepper
congrats papa ,,, i see you are now becoming a real steem ninja
LOL - That I am!
Waiting eagerly to see it
its a @papa-peper kungfu movie!
My vote is literally worth nothing right now, so I'll just give encouragement instead for now. I'll hit you up when I get my juice back. Here's the proof:
I'm impressed at how many irons you have in the fire. You must have a lot of energy or a really potent coffee. Either way, I enjoy your articles. You've got some great content. Looking forward to the short!
It is a combination of the two, I think. Also, I know the feeling on voting power. Recently mine finally hit 20% so I am mostly taking a voting break right now for a few days.
You inspire me to be more active. I don't have kids yet, so I should have more projects and stuff than I do now. Going to work on figuring that out a bit this weekend.
The saddest part for me was when I realized they would keep taking delegation away from me...and now my vote isn't worth anything. Ha ha ha. So sad. :P
Patience young grasshopper. Perseverance is your friend. Soon you too shall upvotes worth more than a penny!
SDG
Ha ha ha, thank you!
Great work Papa - P! Lol check this out: https://steemit.com/steemitcrush/@goldmatters/my-steemit-crush-is
LOL - Found it on my own! Thanks! I was wearing your shirt when I did!
Good one...
Very creative @papa-pepper
UpVoted successfully @papa-pepper
Hope to see this movie soon. :) update us please.
I'll keep you posted!
Hey @papa-pepper I want to be in that movie, I wanna fight the steem-fu fight.
Lol!
That's awesome! Maybe I can hook you up with some wicked blade for some fighting scenes :)
That would be incredible. I wonder if you could make one with the STEEM logo in it... I would love to order a custom one if possible.
Sure, logo would be no problem - I get my logo engraved by laser, so I can use anything you want. What kind of a blade would you like - a real one or a prop? The reason I'm asking is that if you're looking for a sword or something that falls into weapons category a prop one is much easier to make + you'll probably won't have problems with customs and other law enforcing dudes. Naturally, being a big Steemit believer - Steem is acceptable currency. :)
I was thinking a real knife, it wouldn't have to be a sword.
NP on the knife - just let me know what would you like to get and I'll do some sketches and we'll exchange some ideas and then we'll see where it takes us :) hit me up on bruno(dot)nahod on googles mail to make communication a bit smoother
Thats great bro @papa-pepper :) we are waiting for your this movie.
Hope we will like your hardworking for this movie.
@usahil

I Hope you like it too.
You named this proof 'proof i am serious' lol. We are definitely anticipating. Besides your kung-fu attire looks good! I can as well see the steemit logo in the chain on you neck. *thumbs up @papa-pepper. *fingers crossed!
They both sound like cool projects and you definitely look ready!
LOL - Thanks @otage!
Easy on the punches.
Lol this is gonna be an awesome one steemfu as in kungfu🤺...would have love to be the bad guy in this short film @papa-pepper
This is going to be so fun to watch. I love all the old martial arts movies with Bruce Lee, and so many others. I even like that the sound track didn't match the mouths. :D That may have annoyed other viewers but I really liked it. :D
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished movie. :D The future is steemit and steemit is the future! :D
God bless you. :D Have an awesome day! :D
SECRET :
That is part of what we will be doing! Glad that you liked it too!
Sweet, that is going to be so fun to watch. :D I can't wait to see it. :D
Have an awesome day! :D
Great idea. Looking forward to the finalised movie. I would suggest cutting out "are you sick of wasting your time online?" I think it flows better when you connect get paid directly with join the revolution. Just my two cents.
Thanks for the advice!
Well, let's prepare for the premiere of your film. I was very interested in your costume. Since I worked as a designer for more than 20 years and sewed many clothes for my professional life. I wonder who made your costume? Steep embroidery and this clasp create a truly ninja image! I'll definitely watch your movie.
