OH NO YU(GI-OH) DIDN'T!

Hey guys John Browning here! You really didn't think we were gonna stop at SummerCon did you? C'mocn you should know me better by now!

For those unfamiliar with Yu-Gi-Oh! The Blood of Razel, it was a fan film I directed and starred in along with some of the lovely people here at Augmented Reality. We premiered it at SummerCon and people actually were interested! So Without a further ado, I present the official trailer kicking off the countdown to the online premiere of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Blood of Razel!

John the Magician!

Name: John Browning

Blog Nick Name: The Black-Winged Magician

About the Nick Name: In all reality, I just though it would sound cool. When Augmented Reality decided to take me in, I saw Akia and Ruben (AKA SonicMan) and I thought they had dope nicknames and I thought it'd be cool if I made one of my own. At the time, I was just getting back into anime and the main object of my attraction was Yu-Gi-Oh!. I was surrounded by cards and one of the first rare cards I had managed to get at that time was Black-Winged Dragon. I also ADORE the Dark Magician so I mixed 'em both together and BAM!

Role: Director, founder of ShaDa Productions and Tokusatsu expert.

Specialties: Major Toku otaku. Let's just say I'm a white scarf and a few years away from being Akagi.

Hello my milleniums! If you have no idea why I call y'all that, then you really have no idea who I am! Allow me to edumacate you. I'm John Browning, an up and coming director here. I'm pretty much a newbie still, but I'm learning about the scene. I started directing back in early 2011 with Kamen Rider DX, a fan-made Kamen Rider series. Lot of blood sweat and tears were put in but to no avail. I came up with the Blood of Razel concept around Jan., hit up Robo Gato for a little help and six months later here we are! At first, my basic game plan was to just reach out to Anime conventions, but since the wrap up of my first film, my plans are getting bigger and bigger by the minute! Along with Mike Cervantes, Ruben Rascon and MAS I have started a small production group called ShaDa Productions, otherwise known as Shadow Days Productions. Our mission is to make crazy and whacky films! If you're interested, hit us up at shadaproductions@yahoo.com! Or contact our Facebook.

Other than workin' on films, I'm also the local Toku expert here at Augmented Reality. I write articles called Supah Hero Time! I review tokusatsu shows and if you don't know what those are you can (sustained bleep) because even they are ashamed of you!... Just kidding ^.^ just check out my first Supah Hero Time here for a brief description!

Well, the Captain's gonna make the best of it and bring around a list of local talent to TELL you why you need to be at this year's El Paso Comic Convention.
