Channel Frederator Blog

I love this film by Elizabeth Ito, it has everything you want out of an animated short. Monsters, sashimi, and a touch of reality tv.
I’ve interviewed her before on the fred blogs before, and wanted to make this one a bit different.
So, I interviewed the main character from her film, which turned out to be a character in real life, her brother Doug Ito!

1) How was it working on Welcome to My Life, and how was it working with the director Miss Elizabeth Ito?
Demanding. She’s demands a lot from her actors when it comes to getting into character.

2) There are rumors online with both sides claiming that it’s either a real Documentary or a Mockumentary fake. Which is it?
Mockumentary? No, it’s real everything you hear is real.

3) Have you seen Cloverfield yet? How do you feel that portrays Monsters, and do you think monsters are still looked down upon in the human Society?
Yes, I’ve seen the movie and I feel like they should’ve maybe talked to the monsters before they tried to kill them with guns and explosives it might have saved some lives. Monsters still get very little respect.

4) Who are a few of your monster idols and why?
Godzilla hands down, that’s my nick name. How much better can it get? I mean he lives in Japan, people scream out his name when he attacks, he’s green, and he can spit fire come on. Other monsters.. those monsters from monsters inc. , sully and wazowski, have great personalities besides that… nothing to Gzill.

5) How is life after Welcome to my Life, and are there any plans for a sequel in the works?
They keep trying to put down monsters, i’ll get em back.

Thanks to both Doug and Elizabeth for this fun interview.
We’ll be keeping tabs on you and your work for sure Elizabeth!
Take Care,
