Tales From The Underground - The Interview (2008) part 2/3

[TheHardcore73]

so why does he say help me and scream when after he gets the fangs and how can i make me own tg video cause i so want to make one

[TheHardcore73]

so what does the tg scene in this video look like on the dvd and how good is it?

[DarkNeonNightmare]

XD I finally got the "Lost Boys" joke! Oh man....that one went RIGHT by my head...

[MakoDap]

@sandovaljon If you mean 'how did we do the tf scene' it was a combination of applying some computer effects to the live action footage. Some morphing.  And some actual CG animation.

[MakoDap]

@sandovaljon Yes. Up until she/he is being hypnotized by the male vampire. Then she/he is being a bit more controlled.

[george11888]

your best transformation Mako,i want that girl i want that body but i love if i was turned into a fat woman the fat women are the best

[george11888]

i wish it could happenening to me the best scene is from 5.41-6.10 i'd her scream

[Agent00Soul]

@MakoDap Thanks. I went to the site and sent an email as instructed on the order page.

[MakoDap]

@Agent00Soul Hopefully Ray will get back to you soon. Although I know he's pretty slammed this week for pick up shots on PARADOX ALICE. So you may not hear from him until the following week.

[Agent00Soul]

Is there a place I could order the DVD?

[MakoDap]

@Agent00Soul You can order the DVD from Ray at the Mako Pictures website.

[Br1unFROMva]

hey could u email me the uncensored version? my email is anthonyhardy9

6@aol.com

[MakoDap]

@Br1unFROMva Sorry. I don't e-mail my stuff out. It's either here on YouTube (censored) or on DVD.

[Br1unFROMva]

@MakoDap k thx

[MrAlepedroza]

still dont understand what's that on 5:57.

[MakoDap]

@MrAlepedroza Yeah... that's his hips behind the shower door. The fat moves down to his lower hips creating wider ones. It's not set up well - cause the previous shots behind the door are censored.

[OGRE492]

how do u see this uncensored

[MakoDap]

@OGRE492 on DVD. 

[lebronchuck]

5:10 to 5:15:he grows a pair of breasts.

5:16 to 5:22: more extra hair grows.

5:23 to 5:40:his face changes more into a female vampire likeness. She also gets make up?

5:41 to 5:47: his hips turns round shaped, like a female's.

5:48 to 5:51: inner organs get smaller so they can fit in a smaller body.

5:52 to 6:00: his fat distribution changes. his stomach gets flat, his waist, hips and ass grows...

6:01 to 6:03: the size of his muscles decreases, and he seems to get weaker.

i'll continue:

[lebronchuck]

transformation structure can be like this:

1. 4:08 to 4:32: female hormons begin spreading to his body, his genetic structure changes.

2.4:32 to 4:50: tg begins. all his body hair (including facial) disappears.

4:50 to 4:55: extra hair grows on the scalp.

4:56 to 5:02: his male genitalia is absorbed by his body.

5:02 to 5:09: female genitalia takes its place, while his legs gets smoother and thinner.

5:10

[elgrandenegro3004]

What is that at 5:07?

[MakoDap]

That would be an Ovary forming inside of him (that's why the bookend shots are of his abdomen). A few shots earlier (censored) we saw his male genetalia being absorbed into his body.

[elgrandenegro3004]

What is that at 5:18?

[MakoDap]

Hair follicles growing out of the scalp.

[lebronchuck]

7:47, crap!! all those months at gym...jade is an incredibleactress, she seems to have really transformed.

[Agent00Soul]

This movie is intense. You have a great little ensemble cast! Jade is fantastic - she really looks like she enjoys being a vampire, werewolf, spurned housewife etc..

[MakoDap]

Thanks ;) Yeah... the cast and crew are really cool. It's fun making these when you can all get a long and have a blast making them together.

[Fightingpacifist21]

You don't mind if I ask what inspired you to make these films do you?

[MakoDap]

Well I'll try my best to answer that in 500 words or less. I love all kinds of "transformations". Shapeshifting has always been a part of old legends and stories. AWIL really set the bar for transformations - and started it all for me. I also like to explore gender roles a lot. Too many gender swaps tend to be comedies. So I've made it my goal to try and make more serious minded TF stories (which is rare). I'm big on horror/sci-fi/drama. And that's how I approach what I do.

[Sicvicious]

is it weird that i find this erotic?

[MakoDap]

Well... I don't think so :) But then again most vampire stories tend to have an erotic nature to them.

[lebronchuck]

like from erika transforming back to eric at morning.

[MakoDap]

This is actually just a small scene for a script I wrote back in the mid 90's. Who knows... maybe one day I'll convince someone to make a feature film out of this vampire character. I think it would be cool. Can't say it's ever been done before and would be a nice twist on the vampire mythos.

[mrbob59]

Do some more vids like this one.....exciting

[lebronchuck]

whats the name of the chinese actress? she 's hot

[MakoDap]

Jade Brandais

[lebronchuck]

and on 5.14? he gots boobs , i guess

[MakoDap]

Yes... Erik grows a pair of breasts here.

[lebronchuck]

what happens at 5.01

[ZCDtube12]

i think he loses his dick

[MakoDap]

Yep.

[ZCDtube12]

he says goodbye to his balls

[aandek22]

can you still get the unsencord versions of this?

[lebronchuck]

excelent job! i also thought she was transforming ino werewolf, what hapens at 5 14, at 5 01 he loses his penis i guess

[lebronchuck]

what happens at 5 14?at 5 01 he loses his penis i guess

[fordsman88]

Is the only way to get the dvds is for 20 or can I get them for less if I don't want the cases for them

[fordsman88]

can i get just the dvds without the cases or are they $ 20 too

[AMCamporeale]

so how am i able to get the uncensored version?

[MakoDap]

The only uncensored versions of all of our material - are on DVD.

[Littlejumper992]

mako could give me this video not censored pleade?

[MakoDap]

Your answer is in the bio on my main page.

[Chiaroscuros]

Hey Mako...at the midpoint of the TF, is that pretty much you with a wig and a reealy close shave? Have folks seen you online before w/o facial hair? lol...

[MakoDap]

Not that I know of.... unless someone has been posting pics of me from over 10 years ago ;)

[ebt12]

Awesome TF sequence! Cool story too. One thing I would love to see in a story is a guy who likes the change and doesn't want to turn back. Just a thought.

[MakoDap]

Thanks ;) For the most part - you're correct. Most of the projects we've done have people that are not comfortable in their new skin. However... there are some exceptions... like in ELEVEN and THE BLACK RABBIT. I won't go into detail... but both of those story threads lead into the main character excepting and starting to like being a female.

[MakoDap]

Oh and I forgot... actually TFTU "The Addiction" is a perfect example IMO of a main character who would rather be a woman than a man. Hence - the drug reference. Problem is... he turns back into a man as the drug wears off... so there's no permanent change there.

[igotzthatfire]

mako did do one like that where the guy turns into the girl and then ask to go to the park go on on a date or whatever so that's already been done which one was that mako?

[MakoDap]

Sounds like you're talking about "The Addiction". That was the first episode we did for this series.

- Mako -

[stiletto777]

MakoDap: I am a HUGE fan! Ordered 3 DVDs & cant stop watching them! Did you ever consider a movie like your "revenge" but the ugly old guy "swaps" places with the young sexy woman who mocks him for some reason? Maybe something like they work together of neighbors and she humiliates him somehow. Then a wish is granted and a slow, transformation...him into her and vice versa, all happening over a few long days!

[MakoDap]

Thanks for the support :) I appreciate you taking the time to let us know. I've literally either thought about every possible TF scenario you can think of... or have been pitched them if I haven't thought of it. I thank you for the suggestion. A lot of it really comes down to "a story that I would like to try to tell" and "if we can even execute it with the people and resources we have". Cheers!!!

[rtovar57]

Makodap when are you going to put new short videos on youtub.

[MakoDap]

I have no plan at present. I have been saying that I'm taking some much needed time off from making all this stuff for a while. It's takes up a lot of my free time to do so, and I'm currently burned out.

[machiavellilives]

Oh, those legs must always get smoother and smaller in your videos!

Great effect with the navel at 4:50. And you weren't kidding about the transformation. It's longer (and possibly more painful) than the Addiction.

[MakoDap]

Yep. I wanted to book end the series with these two kinds of transformations. I think they turned out pretty well considering time and money put into them.

[jacoblgames]

She forgot to mention stuff like that of Sonic Adventure 2. They'd research the path to immortality. Although on the bright side they'd probably create the ultimate life form.

[mariofhicks1]

dude the tf was awesome. it was funny when it was randomly censored itself and near the end of the tf i tought she was turning into a werewolf!(which i was hoping to see :'( [oh well]) good work in all the effects.{wasn't she a werewolf? or was that seperate?}

[MakoDap]

Thanks. We created 8 different stories for this series and used a lot of the same actors. One story was about werewolves. This one is about vampires. We even kind of covered Frankenstein a little with The Rules and Ghosts with The Siren. Now we just need a Mummy!!! LOL

[Littlejumper992]

can you sent me this video(not censored), please?

[MakoDap]

Please read my channel summary.

[black02z28]

Incredible audio! Great job!

[sfavbtfv]

Nice graphical and sound effects, transforming into a woman, oriental and top that off with a vampire, could it get any weirder than that. The sound effects made me cringe.

[MakoDap]

Excellent!!! Then we did our job ;) Weirdness and all.

[gretzky21407]

Hey Mako why do you not post the video on metacafe that way you can show the video uncensored

[MakoDap]

The summary on my main channel page explains all this.

- Mako -

[wudaidragon]

that is censorship! they should let ppl see wat they want to see!!! lol i m just joking

[shadders43]

Some kind of paid digital download would be superb, because I'd love to see the uncensored version but not necessarily buy the DVD. :I

Awesome work that I've come to expect, Mako! I can't wait to see where your directing moves next.

[MakoDap]

Thank you ;) We've been looking at a digital download service for a while now. Still shopping around for one that will accomodate what we are looking for, yet will also be easy to use for the people looking to purchase from it.

[TFlover2001]

I'm interesed in that service too!! buy the dvd is not an option to me due to my country's Tax and delivery cost.

[ultimacj]

So when will all this TG shorts be out on DVD? :)

[MakoDap]

The DVD will be available early next year. I will post more info sometime this month about it.

[NorthTX99]

Wow! What an awesome end to TFTU series. You guys obviously saved the best for last. This one blew me away. Make-up-awesome, Acting-outstanding. I havent seen a youtube flic that good. Nice job!. Take some time off guys.

[Littlejumper992]

Why this video is Censored?

[MakoDap]

The video was censored because of YouTube. They sent me a warning on a past video once. And I'm not ready to have my channel taken offline if I don't comply with them.

[MGEX8206]

*exhales* He's done it again. Would have happilly seen the censored stuff but that's Youtube for you!

[dis0guise]

A few tiny quibbles at most -- otherwise this is excellent. Not unusual for Mako and his collaborators, excellence.

[svankmaj]

W-wow...*shivers* You DEFINITELY saved the best TF for last!!!!! Awesome job! Glad you figured your love for Egyptology into this as well...I was definitely not expecting that...

[timmy13ninetails]

hey did he say anaki? was there supposed to be a werewolf tf in here cuz the curse of anaki vid said that the curse can turn them into icky grls and werewolfs. XP

[MakoDap]

Yes. The one and only "Anahki". However... the "werewolf" curse that I introduced in the animated short only happens at the tomb itself. Notice in this story - Erik never finds the tomb. Just a vial of Anahki's blood ;) Tricky tricky

- Mako -

[battybuddy]

Still, it's cool that you pay homage to your older stuff. ;) Never forget your roots, man- and they can help you grow stronger.

[MakoDap]

Thanks. Yeah... I've been asked by many people lately if I will ever go back to just drawing art again. Or even make another animated short. Who knows :)

[battybuddy]

Well, if you do, I'd like to see.

I've done a couple comics myself that were partly based on your animations. Given, I'm not a realistic artist as a cartoonist, and I kind of get worried of public opinions(I got a "Kiddy fare" feeling to my stuff.), but yeah.

[MakoDap]

I've posted some of my older art on my MySpace page under the pics section.
