Electrogenesis is a short film about everyone's favorite hero Static. It takes place some time after Static retires from the hero business, however it does not follow the story for Rebirth of Cool so throw away your preconceived notions about what it's going to be. Static has gone to college and become a teacher. Now he teaches chaos theory at the local high school while everyone wonders where Static is.
If you're expecting to see some incredible special effects, that's not going to happen. You're also not going to see the best fight scene since that Daredevil episode, you know exactly which one I'm talking about. It's a story about Virgil Hawkins not Static. The story rotates around him struggling to decide what he thinks is right at this point in his life. It's a good well written story.
The film is only 13 minutes so I can't speak to if the actors were really good or if it was just a short performance. From what I saw it was pretty good and both of the lead actors were able to portray a range of believable emotions for the situation. The only thing I can really complain about was that dreadlock wig. That thing was barely hanging on, luckily it was only for one brief scene.
As long as you don't click play expecting top of the line Hollywood CGI and fight scenes you will enjoy this. It's about 14 minutes of entertainment. It won't take long to watch so have a seat and enjoy it.
You can hear Darrell on the CP Time and Powerbomb Jutsu podcasts. He also plays classic arcade games on The Cabinet

Definitely wasn't a bad watch. The story was good and the acting wasn't unbelievable. Is this video intended to jumpstart an online series?
ReplyDeleteThis was just a standalone project as far as I know. However there is an official Static Web Series coming sometime soon so I'll be looking out for that.
