Indie films-games and something anything else inbetween! At IndyFilm Oneblaze we try to highlight Indy creative projects.

This requires a Kanye West track from his late graduation album, the selection is all yours. Cannon Buster has been one of the few creator owned projects I have been watching keenly as to the course which will be navigated in this new world order we have been thrown into. Keeping on subject, Cannon Buster is a wild adventure that meshes the best of some of the ideas we have seen in some past stories from some of the brilliant minds from yonder, referring to Japan. Being one of also a few that picked up the comic on first print several years ago, I have had the opportunity to see how vibrant the world may turn out to be. Please also take note of the amazing talent working on this pilot which hopefully will be selected as a series. First off we have Lesean Thomas the creator/Director/Writer, Joe Madureira(Comic Artist, character designer,all around awesome guy), Thomas Romain(unfortunately I really never knew much about this dude until this kickstarter sorry bro), Peter Chung one of my old time favorite animators(my earlier animation Arbez was compared to his style and Aeon Flux mind you I never saw Aeon Flux until after I was made aware of my style similarities to Aeon Flux) and several other animators from the Korean and Japan animation houses(So far they have only listed Satellite Inc- a Japanese studio).

Allow me to take the time to speak about the creator and shed some light as to why I admire this project. Firstly keeping on a professional level, Mr Thomas has worked as an animator, producer and director on several animation projects brimming from Rugrats,Batman,Boondocks, Black Dynamite, Avatar and the list keeps growing and there are some that I have missed. Besides that he was also a comic artist, he drew some of my favorite titles during his short tenure as a comic artist, namely Ninja Turtles and Arkanium(sadly not many read or heard of this book). On another note I had the rare chance of meeting this dude and I have to say he is a dedicated, passionate artist he goes above and beyond to make sure anything he puts his hands on is prestige, he is basically a nerd artist if there is ever a term. Adding to that he is a very wise fellow and I normally don’t give many that recognition.

There are probably many more questions as to why should you support this project and unfortunately I am not the speaker, simply a backer, so allow me to pass the baton over to the man that can best explain his project to you. Mr Thomas please take the stage and explain your project and why it should be backed. You already know you got my blessing and support just slide the money under the door. All jokes aside this will be an awesome project. Now take a few minutes to check out the kickstarter page after watching the video.

MegaRan a fortunate devil may I add was able to leap on a passing star and make a name for himself by following his heart and passion. On the rare chance that you are able to follow your dream and turn that dream into a reality that can sustain your livelihood I doubt there is anything more impressive beside creating life . Here we have a musician taking that step into the world of making positive music and I highlight positive music because we are dealing with rap music. Why I specifically highlight positive and rap, as we know it many are associating rap with a negative imagery and not seeing the positive impact or even noticing any positive rap music to be quite frank. Just a slight detour into the dark before we journey into the heart of this article. There are many musicians, who I will not mention names who happen to be rappers who have a cache of wonderful uplifting music but what they rap about will never get played, it seems the world only wants to hear and see negative, downgrading and derogatory content. Content that seems to lack any purpose but to shine a negative desire with no intention of uplifting the masses. Here we stand with one of those rare individuals that stands his ground and make magic.

MegaRan is a positive rapper and he makes musical magic. The musician took his love of the megaman game of the early 8 bit days, sampled the level music and simply made some crafty rap songs. Please note this is sometimes met with severe results from the companies that own the license to the music or any other said copyright. Fortunately for this man his music was not negative and brought positive light to the game and as you can image was almost free marketing for the Capcom title. Lets also note Megaman does not need to be marketed as we all know about the blue bomber. MegaRan was fortunate to strike a deal with Capcom that allowed him usage of their music library and which helped to propel him where he is today. Which is a much better place than most of us today. At the end of the day sometimes you may not reach your dream or goal in the way or time that you want but with some key persistence you may make it and in the rare chance that you decide to do it with a positive light note there are people out there waiting and gunning that you make. In the end this man took that love and kept it as a love and not hate and thus kept it positive.
