Ben Affleck is Batman

Funny how just last week I mentioned Christian Bale might be back as the Dark Knight for the new Batman/Superman film, but just a few hours ago it was announced that Ben Affleck will be Batman.  I definitely disagree with this choice.  I disagree for a couple reasons, first off is the fact that the last super hero outing that Affleck tackled was Daredevil, a movie which didn't do well at the box office nor did it  create enough positive buzz with comic book fans.  Second reason is, Affleck isn't the greatest actor in the world, and is dead wrong for the role, this is of course my opinion and I could be wrong when the actual film comes out in a couple years but this is how I feel at this moment.  Thirdly, Warner Brothers is loosing out big by not bringing back Bale as Batman.  He has a built in fan base for the role he's filled for six years now with an origin story already told.  Why not use him again?  You can see a link to a youtube video I made here for further thoughts on the topic.

Production So Far.

We have one more shooting day left before we wrap on Solitude for the summer.  I would just like to thank everyone who has made this film possible, most notably Ben Enke (director of photography), Darla Edin (visual effects makeup), Cheri Anderson (production design), and all of the actors who have participated so far.  You guys were great during production and I look forward to coming back in October and January to finish what we've started.  Click here for a new blooper video.  Stay tuned for more blogs in the near future.  You can follow us on Facebook by clicking here.

Throwing Knives

Every wondered how to throw a throwing knife?  It's rather difficult, but the guy in the video below has found am easy way to get around it.  Check it out at the video here.  The throwing knife is properly balanced in order for anyone to throw a knife, the key is in how you throw it.  Of course there are ways around a proper way of throwing it, one instance is the kind of knife.
The knife below is what I call the cheating mans throwing knife,being that you'll stick it just about everytime its thrown, but its pretty bad ass.

More Metal Work

I've recently been creating different flowers out of spare metal I have laying around.  Most of the creations, that you can see below, were created from 55 gallon drum scrap and thick rods to create what you see.  What do you think?  The ones you see below were created for a customer.  If you would like a flower, any flower you want, send me an e-mail at livingstonoden@gmail.com.  You can see my photography at Livingstonoden.com or like my facebook page at:  https://www.facebook.com/LivingstonOdenPhotography
