Meet Quatchi. A Sasquatch that is suppose to be our Mascot for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. It's a First Nation spiritual creature representing Canada.....
.....like HELL!
This thing is suppose to be Bigfoot?! It looks like some Asian knock off Teletubbies - Hello Kitty hybrid! When it first came out, many people in film school did not respond so well to it.
So now, I demand VANOC to remove Quatchi, and put Chewbacca, the wookie as our Olympic Mascot. I mean, at least people recognize and respect Chewie. If I presented Quatchi to someone from Eastern Europe, they wouldn't have a frakin clue what it is. Message begins: " Dear VANOC, I have been enthusiastic about the 2010 games since grade 12. However, after the creation of Quatchi, I was really turned off. Please replace Quatchi with Chewbacca the wookie before the end of 2009, or else I will leave Vancouver in February 2010 and not attend the Winter Olympic games......"
This happen over the weekend just down the street from my house. I am after all quarter alien. ( Does the non human in the poster smile like me or do I just smile like that? )
It all started with one phone call last week after my shift at Peak Performance. The Film Program coordinator phoned me up in regards of a film job with a summer hockey camp.
The job includes filming hockey players of all ranks ( some NHL level trainees), of them working out in the gym and doing wilderness / outdoors stuff out here in the Westcoast. By the end of the summer, I should produce a DVD with chapters and feature montage videos.
Grand, eh?
Well, a week passed, and I'm about to start the second week, and here I am having a hard time getting some sleep, because every time I lye down, I start thinking about the frame on my camera. Can't even relax. It's like I pressed record on my camcorder, and I'm filming this weeks event already.
Sleepless and artistically cursed. I feel like the needs of do something, yet there is nothing to create......
