Who is the Pooch the Pup? (2015)

To answer that question watch my short documentary I made in 2015.


I hope you enjoy it and Happy New Year.

Be on the look out for more updates on Dinosaur Daze in January. 

Destiny (2011)

Here is a student film I made in Mass Art.  It was an assignment for film-class.

It is now up on YouTube.

My music video, Monster by Pink Lady, is back on YouTube.  After writing a claim and telling them about the fair use situation, Victor Entertainment (a Japanese music company who owned the song), saw my claim and reasoning, which was written in English and Japanese courtesy of Google Translate.
So here it is, my music video on YouTube.


Enjoy.

Update. (Yes, this is related to "Dinoaur Daze".)

Adam Savje just got back from Canada's Ottawa International Animation Festival and he is going to get a new projector.
I hope the next one works.  If this goes on, don't expect a new Super Bowl spot for 2018.  

New Music Videos in October.

October is the month for Halloween!  It is associated with ghosts, ghouls, goblins and things that go bump in the night.  Monsters and mayhem galore.  No, there will not be gore, because this is a family delight!  Let me tell you, it is out of sight!
Rhyming aside, here are two promos. Mondays in October.

Long one.


Short one.


Enjoy.

Dinosaur Daze Update!

Yesterday I asked Adam Savje about the projector, and today I got a response from him. 

He said"

It is here and works but doesn't appear to be able to operate frame by frame ust slow and continuous.  I am looking into it more and will get back to you. 

Well let's hope that this will get working and Dinosaur Daze will be back in production and pretty soon completed. 

Update! (Matthew Panel 2017)

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, Matthew B. Lamont!

(Matthew comes in)

(crowd cheers)

Matthew: Welcome one and all.  It is good to be back!

(crowd cheers)

Matthew: You know it has come to my attention that I would like to say that I got some news and updates.

(voice pipes up)

Voice: What about Dinosaur Daze?

Matthew: I will get to that, but first let me talk about my music videos.  As you know I am a fan of this:

(crowd cheers)

Matthew: Yes, I am a fan of it (I bought the graphic novel and it is nice) and let me tell you, I had some ideas to make music videos with footage from that cartoon.  I had three songs.  Look out for Number One by Tommy Faragher [Have a listen.]  Physical by Olivia Newton-John [Have a listen.]  I Can Do Anything Better Than You Can from Fame [Have a listen if you know what I am talking about.]  I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor [Have a listen.]  Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin [Have a listen.]  This is because I saw the latest episodes of The Loud House.  One was called "Health Kicked" and "Lynner Takes All".   I need your help!  Which song of these three do you want me to make a music video out of.  I can sure use some help here.

Matthew: By the way, I have come to thank you for giving my break-in recording, A House that is Loud, 209 views on YouTube.  Thank you so much.  Let's hope it will have 1000 views.

(crowd applauds)

Matthew: I will also be uploading some rare treasures.  Be on the look out for my documentary, Who is Pooch the Pup.  There will be more music video commentaries coming so keep an eye on this blog.  Now for Dinosaur Daze.

(crowd cheers)

Matthew: OK, OK, cool it.  Keep your shirts on and let me tell you.  Yesterday,  I got word that Adam Savje ordered a new one and he will take a look at it and he hopes that it will work properly.  So keep those fingers crossed because this project will be done.  (Hopefully.)

(crowd cheers)

Matthew: Well,that is all.  Thank you very much and I must be going.  See ya.

Dinosaur Daze Update! (Another one? Incredible!)

This is a Dinosaur Daze Update.
As you know, last month Adam Savje said that he will be in France in late June and said that he is going to work on the projector in earyly July.  According to this post.
Since the 4th of July, I got sick with an unwanted summer cold.  TodayI am better, so it had been a whole and gave Mr. Savje a text and he said that he has not touched the porjector and he will take care of it hopefully soon and he will let me know. 
Well let's all hope that this projector gets fixed. 
This has been a Dinosaur Daze Update. 

Congratulations!

Congratulations for having 202 views on my break-in recording A House that is Loud.  This break-in recording was inspired by the hit Nickelodeon cartoon, The Loud House. 

Thank you very much.  Keep it up and it will have 1000 views.

New Featurette!

On July 5th 2013, I saw the original King Kong on the big screen and a documentary was born.
Now on July  6th 2017, see how it got started and the ups and downs of making this documentary in Graduating with a Gorilla - The Making of Hail to the King: A King named Kong.


Enjoy.

Dinosaur Daze Update

Sorry about the delay.  I got informed that Adam Savje is in France and he will return in late June to fix the projector.  I will be informed in early July.

UPDATE!

Hello, folks.  Here is an update.  First of all, I got an update on the page, there you can find me on other sites.  Contact me at g-mail, find me at Vimeo, Youtube, Facebook, Dailymotion, and Twitter (I don't tweet).
As for Powerpuff Girls 2016 Reboot Vlogs, there will be none of those and here is why.  First, I don't have a camera.  No camera, no vlogs.  Second, I went overboard by adding visual effects to make it denser and wackier.  Those took up time.  This is demonstrated on my vlog on the episode, "The Secret Life of Blossom Powerpuff".


So this is the last one.  Give it a good watch before it disappears like all the other ones.

On May 18th was my last day at Tech Central so here is a nice video about it.


Also, as for Dinosaur Daze, Adam Savje is currently working on the projector so there will be high hopes that this short movie will be back in production.  Keep those hopes high.

This is Matthew B. Lamont signing off.

Lactifree Cheese (Ficticious Commerical)

Inspired by running into lactose-free cheese via word of mouth due my allergies to lactose, I decided to make this fake commerical.

The Visitors (2009)

Get ready to get out of this world when two aliens try and communicate with Earthlings in this first attempt to combine live-action with stop-motion animation.


I made this for an Introduction to Animation assignment with Professor Dan Rowe at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.  I made this video to coincide with James Cameron's AVATAR because in 2009, a lot of movies with aliens are coming out back then. Also, what's with the 80's Atari video game-like graphics? There was 80's nostalgia going on back then.

New Break-In Recording! "A House That is Loud"

A year ago, this cartoon premiered on Nickelodeon and I loved it! The design, the voices, the music and the story! It is all great! On the show's ratings, it blew SPONGEBOB out of the water (no pun intended). Over the year there was a fan-base and I got me a comic-book based on the show on Free Comic Book Day! With an announcement of a movie coming in 2020 (what happens at that year, we got the Presidential Elections, The Olympics in Tokyo, GODZILLA VS. KONG [What? I am a monster movie fan, I love kaiju eiga, but that's another story] and MINIONS 2) and in honor of the release of the comic book plus announcements of a new season with surprise moments.
It is on this link.
I made this Break-In Recording in honor of it. Here's to Chris Savino for making a good job, keep it up and here is hope for merchandising!
Enjoy!

Red Paint (2007)

Behold, my very first attempt in combining animation with live-action.  Also, my first attempt in doing a short movie with blood and gore as well as an exercise in dark humor.  This was made in Bunker Hill Community College as an exercise in telling a flashback.  If you are looking for Herschel-Gordon Lewis or early Peter Jackson, then you have come to the wrong person.
This picture is made in the style of a silent movie because of sound problems. If you like silent movies, then you will enjoy this one.


Enjoy.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "The Big Sleep"

Brace yourself!  This is going to get weird.


The girls vs. a pillow?!  Give it a watch because I just hope it gets better the next episode.

The Great Art Robbery (2007)

From 2007, this is my first mystery caper. Join me as I become a witness to an art robbery and stop the bad guy on his tracks! Shot at Bunker Hill Community College's Art Gallery. Made by Maria A. Lamont. I not only edited it, but starred in it.

Enjoy.

New Break-In Recording!

I am back with a new break-in recording! With the popularity of the game, Pokémon Go, I noticed that with every up there is a down.  I knew that there is something fishy about this game.  It is an unintentional danger!  Despite news reports about people getting injured and going into dangerous places (even though the app tells you to go outside and get the blood flowing) and my resent towards anime for being too popular (but that's another story), I decided to make a break-in recording about it.  With that said, I give you Pokémon Oh-No!  

 

Enjoy. 

Update for April 2017!

Hey hey, this is Matthew B. Lamont giving you an update on what is going on here.
First of all, I am going to release a commercial for a non-existent product.  Then, with Kongomania going around, I am going to release the overdue short, Graduating with a Gorilla - The Making of Hail to the King - A King named Kong.  Also, commentary to my feature-film is in the works.  As of today it is 95% complete.  Once it is done, it will be ready for uploading and blogging.
Also, I got a lot of catching up to do on Powerpuff Girls 2016 reboot vlogs.
They are the following:
The Big Sleep
The Secret Life of Blossom Powerpuff
Halt and Catch Silico
Secret Swapper of Doom
Rainy Day
The Squashening
Electric Buttercup
Professor Proofed
Poorbucks
Snow Month
Somewhere over the Swing Set
People Pleaser

Keep on the look out because things are going to get denser and wackier.
Also be on the look out for more of my early videos I made this month.
As for Dinosaur Daze, well this production is in development H-E- double-hockey-sticks, so if the projector is working then production will continue.
Also a new break-in recording is coming.  I made it in 2016 and I didn' t release it yet.  It is over due and it is called Pokemon Oh No!  Be on the look out for that. 

That is all, have nice day.

How King Kong met Godzilla - The Legend and the Legacy

Seven years before Hail to the King - A King named Kong, I made a short documentary called How King Kong met Godzilla - The Legend and the Legacy.  This was an assignment at Bunker Hill Community College when I was taking my Visual Media Arts major.  I was assigned to make a documentary and put in some interviews.  The inspiration was from the Classic Media DVD's that had little documentaries as one of their extras.  I thought to myself, "What if Classic Media released King Kong vs. Godzilla on DVD and what would the extras be like?"  Here is the answer.


It has come to my attention that YouTube has been notorious for taking down videos.  I wrote in the description below that all copyrights are acknowledged so this is for educational purposes.  If it gets deleted (God forbid), don't worry, because it is available on Daily Motion.

Enjoy.

Matthew Lamont Kongs out!

Yes! Finally I have seen Kong - Skull Island!  It is a great movie! It pays homage to the various films made over the years.  The RKO films, the Toho films and the Dino De Laurentiis films (specifically the 1976 remake).
Finally Kong has more screen time and the monsters in this movie are imaginative.  It was so good that I had my picture taken at the photo display at my local movie theater.  I Konged out in 2005 and I did it again in 2017.

Well, it is no Kongfrontation at Universal Studios Florida, I have photos me and my family at the photo booth where you are at Kong's hand and take a picture and you hear him roar as if he is trying to eat you up.  Apparently, they got destroyed and ended up in photo-collages (it is tough to be a monster movie buff in the 1990's).

Here are some pictures of some poster I found.  

As a Kong-fan, I enjoy this movie. If you didn't see this movie, then go watch it!  And if you saw it, well, then why aren't you watching it again?!  I am wildly excited about this movie and I enjoyed it and this was a box-office smash.  It is better than the 2014 version of Godzilla!  Better than Pixels!  Better than Looney Tunes Back in Action!  This movie is like Apocalypse Now meets Jurassic Park meets the 1976 King Kong remake.  This comes to show that monsters make money! Also, when you are watching it, stay tuned after the credits.   It will blow your mind.

Speaking of Kong, I am currently working on a commentary of Hail to the King - A King Named Kong and I am going to upload a nice film I made seven years before my senior thesis film.  From 2007, How King Kong met Godzilla - The Legend and The Legacy.  Stay tuned tomorrow.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "Road Trippin' "

The Professor and Bubbles have some bonding time, Buttercup and Blossom are being babysat by a robot and I pay tribute to "The Real Buttercup." Who is The Real Buttercup? Find out in this vlog.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "In the Garden of Good and Eddie"

New vlog about the girls and their wild and wacky adventure.  It looks like they got themselves in a super-sized creepy crawly situation and a hairy situation.  What is happening in this picture?  Find out on  today's vlog. 


Enjoy.

OH MY GOSH! I HAVE BEEN SHOUTED OUT.

Yes, it looks like my documentary Hail to the King - A King named Kong, gets mentioned again.
This is fun.  I mean this is just great.  First I got recognition on the 200th episode of Badasses Boobs and Body Count and now by Jack Buchanan.  He gave me a thank you and a shout out in this video.
It is at the 2:24 mark.


Let me tell that Jack did a series of reviews on not only films like Jurassic Park, Superman, Waterworld and Space Jam (where do you think I got the idea for the ending for my vlog on The Powerpuff Girls 2016 reboot vlog on the episode "Fashion Forward").  He also reviews King Kong movies.  In fact recently he reviewed the King Kong movies that never got made so I guess this is where he reviewed the King Kong movies that never got made.  You can check it out on his YouTube page.  Make him your Facebook friend and tell him that Matthew B. Lamont (that's LA-mont not LAY-mont *giggles*) sent you here. 

Also, you can check out his own version of King Kong by at his YouTube page.  This film premiered in 2010 and took six years in the making and I have to say it is so good for an amateur film. 

Thank you so much Jack Buchanan.  I appreciate it.

Currently, I am working on the commentary to my senior thesis project.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "Fashion Forward"

The Fashionistas, Bianca Bikini and Barbarous are back and they got Blossom under their trap!
Bubbles and Buttercup are not happy by the news on Blossom and the Professor is not taking this too well!  How will it go?  Who will get Blossom out of this mess?
Find out on this video!

The Dinosaur and the Missing Link (2005)

I am going to take you back.  Way back.  Back before there were animation programs like i-stop motion, Frame Theif, Dragon Frame and Stop Motion Pro.  Before I knew Final Cut Pro. There was something I learned on Discovery Channel's Mega Movie Magic about stop-motion animation.  Record for one frame, stop move it a bit.  Record for one second, stop, move it a little bit and so on.  The result was choppy and sluggish moments.  I was unaware about the EOS FAX Umatic Animation Controller so I sent it to Adobe Premiere and changed the speed of the movements and added in the voices.  This was The Dinosaur and the Missing Link (2005) a remake of the 1915 classic by Willis O'Brien. 
Yes, today is his birthday.  



Hey, this was my first animation.  Your first is not your best. 
Enjoy.

New Demo Reel!

Presenting a new Demo-Reel!
I hope you enjoy it.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "Cheep Thrills"

I am back with more.  This one is about the horrors and consequences of bringing home an animal.


Things are going to get wild.

NEWS AND UPDATE

Good News and Bad News.

Bad News.
If you can take a wild guess, it has got something to do with Dinosaur Daze. 
In the days following the Superbowl spot announcing the cancellation, I got news that it is not going to be cancelled, but the projector is going to get fixed.  I heard on Friday the 24th that there is going to be fixed, but later it was scheduled for Monday.  The day came and while the light worked, the cables worked (and thank God it did courtesy of Fred the Electrician, otherwise it blow a fuse or worse cause a fire or explosion), but the sporckets didn't.  Oh well, but according to Adam Savje, there is hope to get the project done.  It will be.

Good News.
My safety film, Tech Central's Guide to the Color Coded Alert System, is getting a premiere on the big screen as part of the Mass Art All School Show on March 21st 2017. 
Don't miss it.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "Presidential Punchout."

Uh-Oh, it is Blossom vs. Morebucks.  Kind of like a certain election that happened recently.

Enjoy.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "Odd Bubbles Out."

 I am back with a other one.  It has been a while.   This one is called "Odd Bubbles Out."



Enjoy.

Update (exasperated sigh).

Yes, this one of those updates on you guessed it: Dinosaur Daze.
It looks like it will be back in production.  After I made my Superbowl Spot announcing the cancellation, I heard that the projector will be fixed by next week.  The day came and what do you know, I got word that the projector is almost ready.  It needs it's electrical wiring checked so there won't be any explosions or fires.  Now those are scary!

Tech Central's Guide to the Color Coded Alert System (Animatic)

 When doing animation, you got to use an animatic as guide when animating.  Combining a storyboard and a soundtrack, the animator gets to see how long a scene lasts.   After the animatic was shown, there were changes made.  Can you find the differences?

Here is the animatic.


Here is the final result.


Enjoy.

"No soup for you!"

It's Matthew B. Lamont and Larry Thomas (a.k.a. The Soup Nazi) from Seinfeld. Taken from October 2016 at my local Star Market to promote the new soup recipe.
