Vampira

I was back in Vancouver earlier this year and my good friend Nicholas Humphries asked me to be in a video he was making with his students at the Vancouver Film School. I’ve been wanting to do something with Nick for a long time, so without hesitation I said something along the lines of “F*CK YEAH!” In the video I play a character named “Vampira”, the trashy gothic trophy-wife of a mad scientist, who is obviously having marital problems with her husband. I realized I forgot to blog about it when it came out back in September, so here it is now!

I had lots of fun filming this with them, so I hope you have fun checking it out.

A Comicbook Orange nominated for 3 IAWTV Awards!

The International Academy of Web Television nominated my web series A Comicbook Orange for three IAWTV Awards!

  • Best Hosted (Taped) Web Series – A Comicbook Orange
  • Best Host (Taped) – Casey McKinnon, A Comicbook Orange
  • Best Writing (Non-Fiction) – Rudy Jahchan, A Comicbook Orange

We’re all really grateful to the voting members of the IAWTV and I’m looking forward to getting all dressed up and attending the ceremony at CES in Las Vegas! For those who followed my dress exploits before the last big award show I received a nomination for, you’ll be happy/sad to find out I already bought a dress this time!

Be sure to check out the full list of nominees. As a Trekkie, I’m happy to see the amazing Jeri Ryan nominated for Best Female Performance (Drama) for her work on Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Similarly, I’m also relieved to see I’m not in the same category as her. ;) Congrats, Jeri, I hope to see you at the ceremony!

The award ceremony will take place on January 12th, 2012 and will be live-streamed online. I’ll remind you closer to the date and link to the stream from Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and my blog.

ELF SABERS: Two elves enter, one elf leaves!

by Casey McKinnon on December 5th, 2011

Last month I had lunch with my friend Teal Sherer and she said she wanted to make a lightsaber battle video. She asked if I was interested in doing it with her, and I said something along the lines of “HELL yes!!!” Thanks to the fight coordination and direction of America Young, the idea took shape very quickly… and I’m so happy that I can finally show you “ELF SABERS“!

Be sure to check out Comediva for other wonderfully funny videos, and some behind the scenes photos of our ELF SABERS shoot. And, happy holidays, everyone!!!
