Hanging with the creative mad men of cinesauraus.com!
I met the director and star of YouTube sensation “We’re NASA and We Know It.” The video from this Seattle celebrates the men and women behind of Mars hopes and dreams and parodies LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It.”
David and Steve Hudson of cinesauraus.com are actors, editors and special effects gurus of this hilarious spoof. They tell me they are working on a new project now and have a video appearing in this weekend’s Celebrate Seattle event starring NASA’s real Mohawk guy and Star Trek legend Nichelle Nichols!
Great comic book shops, creators and cons plus all the computer and space geeks and these creatives – got to love Seattle!
Thanks to Geekwire for making my day! I needed this! I have a former Boeing buddy whose new employer in Seattle helped make part of the Curiosity.
UPDATE: PNB is offering ComicsBlend fans a 10 percent discount to this event. Here’s the link. See you there?
