First of all, I would just like to state this month is strikeaposefilms.com’s MOST VIEWED MONTH OF ALL TIME! Thank you so much everyone out there who checked out our new videos, read our old essays, thumbed through our galleries, and even read our random posts! Thanks to you, we’ll be adding new features, looks, and links to the site this month.
Now on to the news.
This weekend I officially signed on to a new project with a great independent internet entertainment company, My Hot Zone TV. After auditioning for the site’s creator, director, writer, producer, and all around entrepeneur extraordinaire Phoenix Tremayne, I will now be playing the part of Alec Wallachia- the Son of Dracula in the soon-to-be internet sensation, EDEN LOST. You can watch the first few “prototype” episodes here.
I was really excited to be auditioning for such a fun project, involving vampires, warrior angels, super human powers and magical energies. And of course…martial arts fight scenes! What I didn’t expect was to get cast and sent out back to “put a fight scene together” as briskly instructed by Mr. Tremayne within two hours of showing up! That’s right, thanks to my experience with STRIKE A POSE!!! Films , my martial arts practice at Self Mastery Systems, and my stunt training at Six Flags, I was ready and able to help whip up a super fun fight scene!
Here’s (some of) the results with a quick peak at a fight choreography rehearsal as orchestrated by myself (Alec), Jasmine Guillermo (Sonique), and Corey Hollwood (Dracula).
This is just the rehearsal for the scene, the final product will feature an set location in Leakin Park in Baltimore, killer visual effects, the whole build up, more martial arts action, and an explosive finale you won’t want to miss!
Episode 1 of Eden Lost premieres next Monday, the 4th, on Phoenix Tremayne’s website. Be sure to check back here for more promotional videos and announcements!
Friday, September 17th 2010…
The scene:
Club Orpheus, Baltimore.
The Event:
N-Code
The players:
Binary Gaming. Eclipse. And…
MAX ACTION.
On the third Friday of every month, Club Orpheus in downtown Baltimore hosts a theme night called N-Code, dedicated to ACTION PACKED gaming, anime, nerd culture, and 
awesomely loud bass-tacular electronic music. This past month, Max Action made his first OFFICIAL appearance and brought the TRUE ACTION to the amazing little club off of Pratt St.
There was drinking, dancing, and lots of gaming involved, with people playing Soul Calibur, Halo Reach Street Fighter, and various other awesome games. The crowd stomped the floor in echo of the booming bass, and and a projector played scenes and AMVs from Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Devil May Cry, Ikki Tousen
, Macross, Gantz, and more, fusing with the light show to create an awesome night of MASSIVE ACTION.
Many of the Strike a Pose!!! cast and crew members also showed up, including Robert Ramirez, Julio, and Rob Moroney. DJ G4057, AKA Damien from some of our older movies, hit the tracks and produced some righteously awesome beats for the crowd to cause calamity to. DJs Umbris and Raverfox (David Zimmerman) unleashed their sets with mucho gusto as well, turning up the heat in the nicely-sized alternative club from “this is mildly boiling” to NAPALM DEATH!
Max got on the mic later on to help pump the crowd up, and and in a week or so we’ll haves a few of the words he had to say for all his fans to hear!
All in all, it was a great night. Max Action is now an official sponsor and co-host of N-Code, and for the October 15th event, he will be helping to co-host the video game portion of the night. He’ll be on the internet himself in the next week to make an announcement about the event, but for now, enjoy the poster art and locate the event on FB!
Also- we’ve put more pictures from the night up on the gallery page for Max Action, as well as on his Facebook Page. Be sure to check them all out and comment on Facebook if you got the time!
So the other day at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom released it’s trailer for the newest Devil May Cry game. The franchise has long inspired my film making and style, and even inspired me to make one of my most well received videos!
However, when I excitedly went to see the trailer on Gametrailers.com, waiting for the player to load with joyful glee such the likes as a kid on Christmas eve, I saw some things I never expected.
So everyone out there on the internet, what do you think of the changes made to our boy, Dante, in the new DMC?

I just wanted to make a brief post with shout-outs to all the wonderful people whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the 2010 Intervention Convention in Rockville, MD! It was a great time, and I look forward to being as big a part as I possibly can next year!
Here’s my report:
I went to the convention for only one day, Saturday, not expecting anything too intense but hoping to have a good time. Well, it just so happened that for a virgin convention that came out of nowhere in a Rockville Hilton- I totally had a HELL OF A LOT of BOTH! Read the rest of this entry »
