Major Props for Vance Major!

Vance Major

Check out the tweets that Vance Major has received for his project PenPals: A Star Trek Fan Production.  As you can see TrekSentry47 linked Vance’s YouTube fan film to John Van Citters and low and behold John commented on it for Vance.  This is very cool for Vance and if you didn’t catch it when we spotlighted his Star Trek fan film here it is again.  PenPals is a transmission from Chief Engineer Minard of the Valiant to the Chief Engineer Sierra of the Melbourne.  It shows that you can still have fun with Star Trek fan films and follow the guidelines that CBS/Paramount have given.  So congratulations to our good friend Vance, keep having fun!

Ciara O’Neill’s Music Video for “The Ebony Trail”

ciara

Ciara O’Neill is sharing, with the ComicPop listeners, her latest music video for her single “The Ebony Trail”.  Ciara uses her voice and acoustic instruments to their haunting abilities.  “The Ebony Trail” takes you on a journey that sounds so simple, but for an artist to use restraint is one of the harder things to do.  Simplistic is not always simple as I like to say.  The animation that Ashling Lindsay uses in the music video is also a simpler style which to me matches to the single’s sound well.  This single is one that you would use to reflect or contemplate while listening to Ciara’s debut album, by the same title, The Ebony Trail, which was released this last March.  Take in Ciara O’Neill’s, “The Ebony Trail” music video from her YouTube channel – Richard:

PenPal: A Star Trek Fan Production

Valiantmelbourne3

Our good friend Vance Major, actor for Chief Engineer Minard of Valiant and producer of Melbourne, having some fun with his two productions he is involved with and showing how a Star Trek Fan Film can still exist even at 1:10 time frame.  Enjoy PenPal: A Star Trek Fan Production where Chief Engineer Minard sends a communication to Chief Engineer Sierra, of the Melbourne, asking about her ship.  Thanks to Vance for sharing this with everyone on his YouTube channel:

Tammy “Hated It (With You)” Single

blackpandaPRtammy

TAMMY is the duo Aaron and Brooke.  They are sharing their debut single with the ComicPop listeners “Hated It (With You)”.  This single has the stylings of 1950’s – 1960’s music.  One slight difference – the lyrics in “Hated It” are a little bit more edgier.  I really enjoyed TAMMY’s “Hated It (With You)” so have some retro-fun through SoundCloud – Richard:
