Cowabunga Corner News - IDW : Kevin Eastman Interview

[snewpytx]

I'M SO HAPPY TO THAT KEVIN EASTMAN IS STILL HAS A HAND IN THE TURTLES SO I NOW FEEL OK WITH THE TURTLES BEING OK AT NICKELODEON

[snewpytx]

wow how did you get Kevin Eastman?!! You must have been excited.You are doing such a good job with these interviews. Very informative and with you being a fan of the TMNT you know what we want and are doing a good job with it

[SilverterrorII]

Huh...I'd thought he'd look...older. Surprisingly not.

[mindychan]

He is a TRIP! I loved this interview. HAHA!

[zwarrior4life]

The reason I ask is because you should switch the aspect ratio on the software to 16:9, thats what youtube uses now so that you can go full screen. And as for cameras I got my Hd camera that I use for ToptierGaming and my blog for about 40 bucks on ebay. Just a thought for ya?

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@zwarrior4life Thanks for the recommendations, talking to my editor about her thoughts. We may go for the 16:9 thing, though I don't think we're going to jump at just any camera. We got our eyes on a few that will be working to raise up the funds for that stuff. Got a few ideas to raise up the money, though working towards that as our main goal is to keep the seasons recorded and on time while getting new and great things from each season.

[zwarrior4life]

Michelle what video editing software do you use?

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@zwarrior4life The only one that works with my camcorder is Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0, though usually I just convert it to something my editor can use and send it off to her to edit the videos. This one was edited only with Adobe Premiere.

Im not happy with the current licencing issue we have here in the UK! The main distributor is not allowed to sell the comics here and us uk fans still have to wait till licencing gets sorted out by Nick... I really want to read the new series :(

Any thoughts?

[ihategirls13]

damnit. Im sorry but if you are going to have such awesome interviews and show off your collection, YOU NEED 1080p!!!!!!! get it together before our cartoon comes out!!!

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@ihategirls13 Well if people take part in our sales like when we had the T-Shirt sales this past summer, we could raise the money for the new camera needed along with mics. Though sadly we haven't gotten to that point and I do not have the amount of money needed to move forward with getting new stuff. I'll like to get it together but if the viewers want to complain about what we do post... my reply is put your money where your mouth is, next time we sell stuff take part in the sale.

[AirMan928]

Kevin's a cool guy! I met him once a couple of years ago at FanExpo up in Toronto.He said he was going to come up again in an issue of Heavy Metal (he lied D:) lol so im gonna have to hunt that last turtle sketch from him...

[shellshock638]

what type of pizza do you eat michele mine is pizza hut what the turtles avartize.PLEASE RESPOND PLEASE RESPOND.

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@shellshock638 I like a few different pizza places, most of which are local to where I live like a place called Pizza Connection. I do enjoy PIzza Hut, esp when traveling since it's a place I know I like when I'm in areas where I don't know the pizza places around me.

[neodevilbane]

Cool!

[shellshock638]

what grass land are you at michele you do this almost every inerview.PLEASE RESPOND.

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@shellshock638 lol, this interview is in Bronson Canyon, that's the Hollywood sign behind us. This is where the Batcave is from the old Batman series, they also filmed Star Trek and many other series here.

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@nkit21 Na, it wasn't recently... and he didn't smell of smoke.

[animejunky2003]

really awesome Interview !

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@animejunky2003 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)

[hudemx]

What a nice cameo right after the credits :)

A forshadowing to a coming episode?

Would be great ^^

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@hudemx Hehehe yes that is a hint at the next episode, not all of our little clips there will be hints but so far we've been able to do that this way. That Cameo goes to this up coming episodes of Cowabunga Corner. ;)

[hudemx]

@TurtleGirlIvey Tahts just AWESOME or dare I say Turtle-tastic ^^

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@nkit21 It was outside because we thought this was a cool area for an interview. If he is still smoking he didn't light one up while with us at all this time. I know I've seen him smoke before outside at conventions, though not sure if he still is or not as the topic didn't come up. It was Kevin's first time to the Batcave. :)

[vvipeout]

awesome interview! I hope to meet him and peter laird one day. Wish I did when i was younger seeing as how I live like 20 mins away from northampton MA.

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@vvipeout Yeah, living near Northampton you may still get chances to meet Peter... check around if he's doing autographs on free comic book day at any of the shops near ya he's done that a few times. Kevin still does go East for some stuff, but the easiest thing to say he'll be at every year is San D Comic Con. He's going to be about 13 hours away from you this weekend at Detroit FanFare ; I know this cause I use to drive to the Northampton area and it was a 12 to 13 hour drive ;)

[RakaiThwei]

....Mad, mad props to you, Ivey! And to think you're friends with a legend! WOW!!

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@RakaiThwei Kevin's a great guy and easy to make friends with if you can get to any of the events that he's doing. Like this weekend is Detroit Fanfare. He goes to San D Comic Con yearly.

[RakaiThwei]

@TurtleGirlIvey

Unfortunately, I do not live in Detroit or San Diego as I am in the Southern New Jersey area, close to Philadelphia. If he's ever in the Philly area for Wizard or Philly Comic-con, I'd love to meet him.

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@RakaiThwei Heh meeting these guys is all about being willing to travel. This is my first time since I became a fan when either Eastman or Laird is coming near where I live... otherwise I've had to travel the full time. So it depends on how much you want to meet them. Otherwise the closes event I could see either of them doing is NYC Comic Con and I don't think either is going this year. I'll be there.

[Jephael]

Awesome interview! I can't wait to read more issues of the new comic!

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@Jephael Yeah, it's torture only getting little bits at a time. I guess one thing I liked about the original comics were that the first issue had a self contained story to it. This story goes in the span of 4 issues so we got two more months before we can say we've read this full story.

[DUCKTAPE702]

Is that the Hollywood sign vaguely in the background?

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@DUCKTAPE702 Yes that is, we're standing at the Bat Caves where they filmed the original Batman series, as well Star Trek and many many other shows and movies. Bronson Caverns in Hollywood. Good eye there ;)

[twopinacoladas]

Great interview =)

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@twopinacoladas Thanks :)

[devilstoysuk2]

How did you not faint..this guy is a legend!!

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@devilstoysuk2 lol, I've been friends with Kevin since 1994. He's a great guy.

[BJsPool87]

Awesome! I wish Peter Laird would get back to the Turtles and work together again. Kevin should purchase the Turtles off of Viacom. I mean, why shouldn't he?

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@BJsPool87 As of right now I don't see him trying to buy them, as he's happy with what they're doing.
