SC Entertainment History - 2016

 So I think one of the first things we did this year was to go out for a drive in Terry's car and shoot the video for daddy's Pants in a secluded parking lot. Probably don't watch the video below.

terry and Johnny Auchie started making some music under the name Art Prostitutes. I was originally asked to join the band, but after I made fun of the name they said I wasn't allowed to make music with them ever again.......   https://artprostitute.bandcamp.com/

Then there was a big build up to Imitative Magic being released on the internet, and it was one of the more successful promotions in our history. People seemed to really care about it! 

With Imitative Magic done I set to work straight away on my next project, which was 10 times as

ambitious. I wanted to make a 100% sci-fi movie that takes place on another planet, with almost no budget whatsoever. After several versions of script ideas I settled on Night of the Shadow People. using the idea of Shadow People from stories my brother would tell me when I was a kid. One of the most important things I wanted to accomplish with this film was to have one of the main characters be a robot. It wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't worry about HOW I would do it until after the script was written.




In the mean time the radio station did a Electric Oinks feature special show... it was pretty nice of them to do it, and it was ridiculous. Listen to the whole thing here: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqSpOAMIgIo

Most of the rest of the year was literally making this huge production. All the costumes and props and sets... everything had to be made because it took place on a different world... it was wild. We got some really amazing actors and actresses to be in it, and we spent a lot of time running a fun raising campaign. The budget ended up being a couple thousand dollars.. which for us is astronomical! But still not very much to build a movie this epic.

The movie took up so much time that I didn't even make a fukachuk egg machine record that year! 

But after months and months of very very hard work the film was done. And the first thing I did with it was to have it available at that year's Calgary Comic  Holiday Expo.

Honestly it didn't sell well.. but I guess no one outside of my friend group really knew about it.

Night of the Shadow People would be released to the internet for free the following year... 

SC Entertainment History - 2015

I think the first thing that happened in 2015 was finishing up a collaboration with SC starlet, Sue Kenyon. It was our first movie together and was very cool... a cyber-punk pre-apocalyptic  thing called  Rubicon. We even had a premiere at some Art gallery downtown!

Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k74LqbrINdw

Then I started writing one of my very favourite films I ever made... it was so different and strange, and even had a romantic subplot.. but it was a very interesting concept: A Beefart and Cheenkaw movie where it was only about their fans. We didn't start actually shooting until June... in the mean time I ran a funding campaign, wrote the script, made props and all sorts of other pre production fun. I hired two of the people from the previous year's Christmas special to be the leads.. and they were absolutely perfect!

We went to that year's Comic convention with hopes to get people interested in this new film. But I had a really bad time there, and was generally having a really bad time with my mental health, which was only going to get worse over the next few years.. to my delight. I had previously been diagnosed with something called Pure-OCD, as well as PSTD and depression... and it was coming back full force. I was also having problems with my work and home life and was generally a mess. 

We entered a 24 hour film festival that was to be presented at the comic convention... our entry didn't even get shown. It was an embarrassment.. It wasn't a bad film though.. here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6BDIT98gww

In the midst of my fun mental health crisis I made what I still consider to be my best album... very dark, and very good. Patterns was an album about how it's impossible to break the patterns set up in your life no matter how hard you try.. A pretty bleak outlook, but as I said I wasn't at my best.

Along with Patterns I released Light Patterns, which was an album of demos and stripped down versions of the songs on the main record... it was actually pretty good too.

Then we finally started filming Imitative Magic! It was actually a really good time shooting, and the people were great. I had my friend Neil behind the camera, and it made it a lot more fun for me to direct. I also met Randolph and Chengis, who I would make movies with for years to come!

Imitative Magic would go on to be our most popular film ever (as of 2021 any way) It was a lot of fun.

It was finished and available for sale, but wouldn't be released for free to the public until Valentine's Day 2016. 

The last important thing that happened this year was the recording and release of another fantastic album by me and Terence! EO-Free Clinic was birthed, and made people happy and sick all over the planet.

SC Entertainment History - 2014

 The first part of 2014 was dedicated to working on the very exciting Dorriss Doom cartoon. Which in turn was also reigniting my love of my old comic heroes and making comics!

 Another wildly silly and different kind of thing we did this year was to make a 9 part weekly radio drama about Beefart and Cheenkaw, it was played Monday nights on CJSW. The whole thing was completely improvised by me and Terence... It's ridiculous, to the max. http://www.scentertainment.ca/2014/03/beefart-cheenkaw-sinister-co-co.html

I released a 10 record set of SC Entertainment film music. It is honestly one of the most useful things I have done, and I continually go back to these volumes to grab some SC music for various productions. 

https://scentertainment.bandcamp.com/

We went to the Calgary Entertainment Expo this year wil hopes to sell the new Dorriss Doom DVD. We were also asked to have a screening of World of the Uncanny, and then at the last moment we were also asked to show Dorriss Doom. The world of the Uncanny screening was less than eventful, with very few people attending, but the Dorriss Doom screening was packed, and people got very excited! To the point where kids were asking for my autograph and buying all out copies of the DVD. It was maybe the most successful Comic con we ever attended. 

Jennifer Hartley even cosplayed at Dorriss Doom at the event. It was a great time.

Meanwhile I had been recording a new fukachuk egg machine record. I hate to say it is mostly forgettable.. for me at least, but there were definitely a few good songs. Street Worms comes to mind.

We did spend a day shooting an interesting video for one of the songs. Our friend Emilia came over and I did a bunch of stop motion animation using her feet and pastries.

By the time the summer had come, I had decided to get back into making comics again, in a serious way. The Nandi Bear Tenants were born, and began a huge sprawling story that continues. I wanted to get it printed properly and beautifully, and sell as many copies as I could, so I started up a successful indiegogo campaign. I worked very hard and released my first 50 page graphic novel. For me it was a huge deal.  people loved it and it was put in the library at the school where I work, where it still is one of the most popular books to get out.

Then I made an album of old coyboy cover songs... I learned a lot about old time cowboys while making it, and I guess that's the point. I was inspired when I was hanging out at an old folks home and there were a couple people there putting on a concert, singing old songs.. one of the songs they sang was comanche, and I got pretty excited.

For my birthday that year the Electric Oinks played live, and it was absolutely awesome.. playing old favourites and new songs.. everyone was disgusted and happy by the end of the show.

And finally to end the year I thought I should make the ultimate SC Entertainment Holiday special. It has become a tradition to watch it every year, and is a compilation of a bunch of short films hosted by me and Terence. So many exciting short films were made in the last couple months of 2014!

Last bit of news, I was asked to help create a lovely video for Samaria Nancy Cardinal, So I shot and edited this.. you can check it out below!

2021 News Flash!

 Just a quick update on whats going on in SC Entertainmentland.. 

Hello all you wonderful people who love Nandi Bear Tenants!! Just wanted to send out a quick update about my progress. 

It is progressing.

I just finished page 87 today out of 104 pages.. so basically it's getting much closer. After I finish drawing, inking, and painting every one of the 104 pages, I will still need to scan them all into my computer, and put together each of the 104 pages on there, by creating all the separate panels on each page and adding all the dialogue... then I upload it all, hope for the best and wait till it gets published. After that I wait for the copies to come in you all ordered. Hopefully there won't be too much of a covid delay.

Anyway, it's coming together, and it's a lot of work. But absolutely worth it.

Anyone who ordered a T-Shirt, they are in a box at the foot of my bed. I will probably just send them all out with the books, unless you request I send it sooner.

This is tentatively the cover for the book. I like it, and unless something weird happens, it will probably stay.

I have also been insanely busy working on my new children series "Rabbit Ears" It is filled with different interesting segments for kids. Right now we are just waiting for Covid to scram so we can all fit in an underground rabbit hole and film the live action host segments!

Check out the website here: http://rabbitears.ca/

here is the Holiday special we made with some fun sing-a-long songs..

 

Teaser photo montage for Rabbit Ears

 One of the several huge projects I am currently working on is the 12 episode season of a new show for kids called Rabbit Ears. Here's a little teaser with the theme song.

Nandi Bear Tenants Book 4

So you may or may not have noticed I have been writing and drawing the next book in the exciting Nandi Bear Tenants series... Still looking for people to take an interest in it. I just want to explain why I'm asking for donations. Aka pre-orders... As it's not really generally my style. I make lots of things, and people generally get very excited to participate and to enjoy the stuff I do. I make movies. Big shot feature movies with next to no budget. I put any extra money I have into making to best products I can. I also make music. Which is probably the most personally time and soul consuming thing I do. And as part of the idea behind what SC Entertainment is I make everything available for free to enjoy. Every movie and album I ever made is available right now on the internet for free. Please go watch, listen and download! And tell your friends! My point is, the Nandi Bear Tenants books are not manufactured by me. I just don't have a printing press in my basement... So I have to get them made somewhere else. And it's pretty expensive. When I finish the new book I will want to get as many printed as possible. Not just to fulfill people's orders but so I have extra to sell and give away at comic shows and stores. I love my comics, and they have been a huge deal to lots of kids over the years. 

So basically that's why I'm asking you to support my new book. It's the one thing I really don't have the power to give away for free. I would if I could. 

I love you!

Undoing Daphne's End - A New Record By Blaise Kolodychuk and the Fukachuk Egg Machine

It's been an intense year for everyone. And it has been no different for me... So here is an album reflecting a lot of what has transpired this year. Including the death of my mother to Covid-19.

Another interesting little fact about this record is that the only instruments played are guitar and drums. No synths this time. Which means it kind of swings back and forth from a punk rock record to a folk record. Anyway, I like it, and I hope you do too.

Check it out here:

SC Entertainment 36 years Today.

Today marks 36 years since me and Terry created SC Entertainment in his front yard. Originally called Super Cool Comics, we were 7 years old and basically the coolest people who ever lived. Super Cool in fact. Soon we started making music and movies and we were basically a beautiful unstoppable force of nature making things all day long and forcing our friends to join in, whether they wanted to or not. 36 years later, nothing has really changed. I am still making stuff all day long, not getting paid for it, forcing and begging people to help me at every turn, and creating insane projects that will one day change the world. This part of my life is so fulfilling and good. Creating teams to work on movies, discovering people's hidden talents, making actual dreams come true and secretly pushing my socialist agenda on unsuspecting normals 😉.
It's been a hell of a year, but again, I'm lucky I can explore things and deal with big issues by using art and film and music to understand why the world is the way it is. And I'm lucky to have the group of people I do, who like to make crazy stuff as much as I do. Anyway, Another year of SC in the books. Next year will see a pretty remarkable feature film, a rare live fukachuk egg machine show and who knows what else... I definitely have some secret plans that need to come true. Happy Birthday SC.

Happy belated new year and other such nonsense.

Can you believe it has been 9 months since I sent out an SC Newsletter?! I guess I have been very busy with a lot of unrelated nonsense. The important thing is I'm back. Back on the attack.
Biggest news is that I am in pre-production on a new live action feature length film!! It's about time!
As you can see from the very exciting promo picture above it is the debut of the amazing crime fighting team of Beetrice and Charleenkaw! Me and Terence retired from crime fighting.. what did you expect would happen?

Anyway, In 'The Ghost Tank' People are being murdered all over the city, however one special victim named Pete is different. She got pulled back to Earth by way of the brilliant Ghost Tank machine, created by the  genius scientist  Lacey. Once Beetrice and Charleenkaw are put on the case things start to get crazy. They soon find out the murderer is a serial killer who was killed in 1984, and is being controlled by a being from the future!!!
By using the Ghost Tank our heroes travel back and forth into the Ghost World to try to solve this bizarre mystery. Blood! Guts! Lasers! Ghosts! Zombies! And a bunch of other absolutely amazing stuff that barely makes sense! Basically, you will want to see this movie.

Sounds great, doesn't it? I think so. And the cast is amazing! We have Fran Van Rooyen in the starring role of Pete, Randolph West as the brilliant scientist Lacy, Jennifer 'Dorriss Doom' Illanes as Charleenkaw, and amazing newcomer Beth Murray in the role of Beetrice. Don't worry, Chengis Javery, Johnny Auchie, Sue Kenyon and Kelton Kolodychuk are all back in fabulous SC form! Plus a pile of other amazing people you will be thrilled to see!

Anyway, clearly I'm setting this up so you will want to help fund this thing.. because it's the best idea I have had all day.

GO NOW!! CHECK OUT OUR FUND RAISER PAGE!!
https://igg.me/at/ghosttank/

Please share it with everyone you know.....

In other news you can pick up a new Nandi Bear Tenants comic by e-transferring me $6.00 and your mailing address to kolodychuk@gmail.com!

This was a specially made comic to help support Oliver's vet bill earlier this year.

It is Oliver's first adventure after becoming the amazing Baby Mega Boy Electric!!

Watch as he faces off again the villain from the sun, Sunny!

And finally Fukachuk Egg Machine has been asked to play a special rare live show at the Blind Beggar on October 5th.. So make sure you save the date! It's something you definitely don't want to miss.


I think that's all for now.. I'll keep in touch!!

Love -
Mr. Blaise Kolodychuk
