This is a short FAN FILM tribute that we created for fun. The classic 1988 Nintendo game Blaster Master brought us so much joy as kids that we thought it would be a fun idea to recreate one of our favorite video game intros. This 8-bit intro in particular stuck with us because of the infectious music and abstract story. How awesome would it be having a pet frog jump out of your window, onto a radioactive box, which leads to discovering a futuristic tank underground? What started off as a small doable side project, slowly evolved into many more hours, weekends, and years than we had originally anticipated. We bonded as kids while playing the game, and then we bonded as adults while creating a tribute to the game. We are so grateful and thankful for all of the super talented people that helped us make this fan project come to life. We are very excited to finally share it. We must first thank all of the original creators of the 1988 NES game developed and published by Sunsoft. Game directors: Hiroaki Higashiya and Koichi Kitazumi. Game Designer: Kenji Sada. And Game Composer, Naoki Kodaka for one of the most memorable video game themes. Thank you for the endless joy and inspiration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cast: Jason: played by Josh Brodis Crew: Producer: Miranda Sajdak Director of Photography: Alper Nakri Costume Design: Kenneth J.
