So a co-worker who I used to be pretty good friends with sent me an email today with an interesting :text-link:...
Batcave Walkthru
- Thread starter Batman
- Start date
Thanks guys! And thanks for being supportive. Many/most of you have been along for the ride going back to S&V. I was apprehensive about the shoot because I always wanted the Bat Cave to be featured in a tech mag or blog because it was DIFFERENT and UNIQUE, and a GREAT theater, considering the components, soundproofing, and all the hard work my friends and I put into it. While the articles & video play up my fandom more than I would've liked, (who wants to look like a geek that never gets laid :happy-smileygiantred: ) I'm pretty happy about how it turned out. They edited a lot of video out (we shot about ~ 2hrs of footage, between touring the basement, discussing several collectibles and interviews with myself, Joanna & Zachary). I was also concerned with Daniel's participation and how he would appear as this angry kid, when NO ONE outside this community understands his daily ups & downs with Aspergers. In the end, although he had zero interest in being in the piece, he sucked it up and played along as best he could. The piece had every opportunity to be way more over-the-top cheesy and considering what I know was shot and what they eventually used, I don't think I appear to be as nervous as I really was in the moment. I'm the guy at various events that does a complete 180° when the camcorder is in my face. And all they gave me to work with was the idea behind the piece as we were shooting. None of the dialogue was scripted. It was all meant in good fun and I think the entire piece portrays that (despite what the Internet trolls think). Thanks again and thanks for being a bunch of great friends!
Hey, your kids prove you've gotten laid at least twice. 
It's cool for us to see something like that when we have a much better idea of all that's gone into it than your average internet viewers. Glad they included the family, too. You guys looked like you were having fun and not overly nervous, to me.

Awesome Batman. My wife and I watched last night, and she couldn't believe the work you put into the cave. She'd seen your previous video, but this was a little more casual and not as "technical".
Now, I don't mean to offend, but.....what do you hope to achieve with this? Just curious......
Oh....good looking family, by the way.

Thanks for the compliments, I really don't hope to achieve anything. In fact Barcroft Media reached out to me after contacting Elite HTS to inquire about their photoshopped Bat Cave. Since I can and do work with Elite on occasion, Elite put them in touch with me.jamhead said:
Chris,
That s seriously cool. Glad to see you are getting some recognition for all of your hard work and dedication. I seriously hope I cn make the GTG and finally see it in person. But, it doesn't look good right now. If I am able to get out there it will be a last minute deal.
Seriously congrats again. I will showthisto a lot of people and I will tell every one of them that not only are you a geek, but you are a very cool geek and one hell of a nice guy.
