Super Hero Cat - Behind the Scenes Review

Hello fans!

So far this video Super Hero Cat

has been a huge success since it's release date on July 5th 2012.  It has a total of 207,976 views so far.  It was a lot of fun to make so I decided to show you how I went about creating some of the shots, a kind of a behind the scenes if you will for all of you totally awesome fans.  Don't get it twisted that master did all the talking in this episode, I just wanted a break for a minute.  This talking thing hurts my tender feline jaw muscles as I've had to adapt from the natural meow to the complex human language and I prefer to use those jaw muscles for eating food.

In the opening part of the behind the scenes video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL-DXUJyRXA I show how I recruit master to move all of the furniture for me to set up the green screen. I love how you can see Kona and I walking around at break neck speeds as the footage is sped up.  The green screen is essential to the shots because it helps to give the illusion that I'm floating through the air with my cape.  What master doesn't realize is that I can really fly; )

You see how messy and hard it is to navigate around the rest of the apartment when the green screen and lights are put up because they need so much room to allow me to do my N2 cat action shots!  Again I really like how you see me get up, walk around and sit back down in fast motion from 1.23-1.32.  It just shows how agile I can be when I put my mind to it.

I'm glad that master pointed out how "Kona" was the one who completely destroyed the couch because I have never done anything of that nature, I'm always such a kind and peaceful ol' chap!

When looking at the Super Hero Cat (SHC) cape you can really see how much work went into it.  The beautiful hand stitching of the emblem, the soft fabric, oh it was so awesome!  It was a lot of fun to make.  I first hand drew the idea of the cape and went through several different ideas until I picked the winner!

I then made a graphic design of the image and printed it off so it could be used as a stencil (outline) for my cape design.

I picked out all the fabric and made sure everything was the right texture and thickness at the fabric store.  One of my good friends who looks after me at times when master is away stitched it for me, she is a seamstress and did an impecable job carrying out my vision.

Once it's placed on me you see how regal and sophisticated I look, some would say hot, but I'll take cute in a pinch.  I really enjoyed receiving all of the tantalizing cat treats the most out of everything.  I got so many treats given to me that day that I had to take quite a bit of time to lie down.  Things seem to be getting more tiring in my old age.  This summer I will be 13!

I wanted to show everyone the difference in the edited shots from 3.44-4.52 as I flip between the initial green screen shots to the finished product.  As the show gains popularity we will be able to refine these fx but you get the idea of what a true SHC is capable of!

I hope you really enjoyed the episode everyone.  I had a lot of fun making it and I want to make sure that I can keep making the show for you, so please continue to help the "save the show" cause and share "Preppy Kitty Style" with as many of your friends as possible.

I've set a deadline date of February 1st to get a million views for "Preppy Kitty Style" and so far we are at 30,466 views within the first week.  If we can't get the needed number of views to support keeping the show going then I will organize a fund raiser to raise the needed amount to complete Season 3.  Let's try and get Preppy Kitty Style one million views though so we don't have to go down the fund raiser path if we can help it

I love you all and don't forget to check out my official website www.n2thetalkingcat.com for all the latest news on everything!

I love everyone, let's "save the show"!

Preppy Kitty Style N2 Review

Hello everyone,

I hope you all really enjoyed my newest video Preppy Kitty Style, it was a lot of fun to make.

It has been a long road in making this video and at the end master explain's why it took so long and what our plan is for the future.  Let's get to all the fun stuff first.

So the bathtub scene of Kona getting her bath was by far my favorite shot.  It was the last thing that we filmed but definitely the best.  She scampered out of the tub fairly quickly as you could see and the footage had to be slowed down to fully capture her speedy escape.

The shot of me with the sunglasses on was not my favorite shot but I tolerated it.  I don't like wearing glasses "at all" but I did it for the show.  I'm stipulating in my new contract that I will not wear any type of glasses at any time.

Kona did try to steal my dance moves and one up me but I had a lot more groove in my fury step if you watch the clip of us dancing together.

I really wanted to make this video about the fans as much as it was about me, so I had as much fan art

and awesome preppy kitty pics

that I could cram into one video.  I think this really highlights the importance of your role as fans, you're the ones that make these episodes possible and without your support the show "literally" could not go on.

I decided to chop some fruit up to show my dominance in the kitchen as a BOSS!

The catnip scene with Kona was a lot fun, I don't remember much about that shot.... where was I, oh yeah catnip, oh I love catnip so much... anyways so.... we had fun with that, it was sooooo much catnip that I felt like I was climbing up a mountain of awesomeness!

The scenes of me dancing from car to lamp post to building really highlight my athleticism.  I jumped so quickly the camera had a hard time keeping up with my totally awesome explosiveness!

I must say though, the one scene that was a little scary, was when I was dancing on the speed boat.  I really had to get a good grip on that front deck of the ship.  The helicopter flying overhead was rather intimidating as it roared past.  Ultimately I told the director I wanted it in the shot so he obliged to my "demands".  

The rhino scene went a lot better than I thought it would.  Rhino's are surprisingly docile creatures that don't seem to mind cats dancing on there backside's.  Now you may get the impression that I was excited when Kona stuck her bum in the air, you would be correct in thinking that.  I was excited in a horrified way though as you can not hear the stinky sounds she's making with each thrust she makes in the air.

Facebook has been really good to me, I have over 10, 000 likes right now because of all of you fans who've supported me on this journey, so I had to include a big shout out to the FB nation.

I did enjoy showing off many of my "skillz" as I dunk a basketball, kick a soccer ball, hold a tennis raquette and wear preppy shoes.  Those shoes are what give me the edge over most cats on the basketball court, I don't seem to slide uncontrollably over the hardwood floors with them on.  They are a "slam dunk", totally awesome, YEP!

Kona was really excited to do the elevator dance as you could see... however, we didn't have an elevator so we simply used a regular door.  It was one of the more complicated shots in the show but I thought it turned out very well.  My dancing skills have been coming along quite well as you can see I've still got the "moonwalk" moves and all the appropriate spins and turns on the floor.  

Kona totally ruined the shot of us walking towards each other by swatting at me which hurt quite a bit I must say, so I felt that it would only be appropriate to have her mocked by a young fan as she is dunked in water.

At the end of the show there's a link to a very important announcement about the show by master.

He talks about how we do not have the time any longer to keep making shows on a regular basis.  We would love to make episodes for you on a regular basis and in order to do this we need to get at least a million views for "Preppy Kitty Style" in a month to have a viral video standing.  This will help raise enough money to make the rest of season 3 in a couple months, allowing us to releasing one episode every 1-2 weeks.  If we can't get the views then we will try a fund raiser asking the fans to help out or to have people sponsor the show.  I don't want to be a burden to anyone so I would really like to see the show make it through views.

If we can't get the views, funding, or sponsors then we will probably have an episode released every 2 months.  So 12 episodes to finish S3 will take two years instead of a few months.  I've really tried to do my best to make you all happy and bring some joy to your lives through my show.  It was something I wanted to continue to do for as long as I could and I do believe that we can make this happen together. No one person will be able to do it on their own, but collectively we can all have a part in making this show a weekly treat to look forward to.

I will be releasing an episode near the end of January to let the world know how we've done and if we need to do a fund raiser or not.  Let's all come together and save the show.

There are some things in our lives that are worth looking forward to and I believe this show helps people in many ways that words can not express.  If you feel the same way please help in making Preppy Kitty Style a success and share it with everyone who you feel needs a smile

Sincerely yours,

N2
