Wasn't the original post from her tumblr?

Ya, but this could be someone who wants to pretend to be them because :autism:. The tumblr was posted on here first, then we have the @MarzGurl account.

So I'd say if she wants to confirm it she should just post a heads-up on the tumblr again, and anyone who wants to avoid potentially wasting their time should not engage until then.
Of course you're all probably still wasting time talking about whatever the fuck is going on in this thread anyway.

I don't know what people are expecting for $63,000 (or even $90,000). It's not like you're going to get some CGI work of art. I think what's funnier is the over hyped, over promised nonsense that people got from the crowd funding campaigns, as if nobody involved knows how money works.

Just goes to show that Lewis always manages to disappoint expectations, even if there's no expectations at all.

Okay, I'm up and about now. Thanks for the screenshot, Jason. Also, feel free to check my tumblr for additional public confirmation.
Alright, let me add some links to some things I said I'd link. For one, here's that full length version of just that fight with Doctor Holocaust, filmed with Justin in that suit in February 2012 and released not long after his death in 2014.
While I'm at it, somebody made a convenient playlist of everything related to FamiKamen Rider leading up to Farewell, FamiKamen Rider. These videos, followed by the materials I was very kindly given by people who were working on Justin's original miniseries project, were the primer for what we considered cannon and what we didn't.
In regards to Atop The 4th Wall: The Movie, here's the link to that IndieGoGo, like I said. Really, it's very nearly $64,000, shy by $15.
I would have perhaps not said how much I was paid, but Lewis actually put out all the numbers himself. It's hard to dig through all the YouTube comments, but this screenshot came specifically from Part 3 of the movie on YouTube. Like I said last night, too, it's up to you to decide if you would have done the same thing. The studio was quite large and expensive. On the IndieGoGo, Lewis actually links to the studio we used. I wish I could say I was more useful here, but truth be told, all of this info is already online.

>$24k for a set that looks like cardboard and green-screened half the time.
I can get the housing, transport, studio and catering fees, and the CGI could have been done for a favor (even if it looked worse than his show). But $24 thou. for a set that really looks like it could have been made for half that? That's the one I really can't believe.

Is it really that hard to believe that they'd waste $24k renting a studio, instead of sourcing other locations that fit?

Not really. But as I said, effort would have been appreciated.
Then again, effort's pretty much a foreign concept for people like Lewis.

$24k for that? Fuck. Spoony's set for Counter Monkey looked better than that, even if he used it a total of two times.

To go back a little bit with one comment made on Farewell, FamiKamen Rider, our grunts wear sneakers because Justin's grunts were wearing sneakers. This is a photo from his production. I'd have not made that choice, but he did, so so did we.
On the editing and camera blur, oh yeah, you bet we wish it was better. I also wish I wasn't the single solitary person doing the job of half of a production. There were easily more qualified people than me who should have either done this movie instead or helped me out, but I didn't have any of that. Instead, I was a co-writer, co-director, producer, actor, cinematographer, editor, etc. You wouldn't believe the massive amount of cat-herding it took just to get something off the ground that was nice enough to make for Justin. Before the movie was really in production, there was large talk by others close to him of what everybody could possibly do to memorialize him, which ranged from so-so to having nothing to do with Justin at all whatsoever. So then we wrote up a treatment and showed it to a small handful of people who seemed shocked that what we were trying to do was actually trying to use what Justin was already working with and actually seemed to memorialize him. And people wanted to help, but they didn't want to help THAT much. I wish other people had been there during our script writing process. There's a lot I would have liked to have had time to go over and cut out or retool. My husband and I wrote a three act script draft and begged a small handful of people who seemingly wanted us to do this to read it and get back to us on making adjustments. And then time went by, and nobody got back to us. So we were like, "Well, if we wait any longer, we're not gonna make that MAGFest 2015 deadline," so we had to get started. Only AFTER that did ONE person respond saying, "It's a good start, but it's not getting done anytime in the next two years." And I was just sort of livid, like, "Well, we already started without you, so...?"
After that, there were some awesome people who seemed to understand how important this was, but not a lot. Matt Burkett, for example, was a total BOSS. We could NOT afford to bring anybody into San Antonio from out of town. Matt, who was our suit actor for both Fami and SuFami, did the special effects, and much better fight editing than I did, flew his own ass out to San Antonio from Arizona on his own dime and put himself up in his own hotel. We haven't been able to repay his kindness, but I hope we can, because that was just outright stellar. Allison Pregler (Obscurus Lupa) got her cameo back to me immediately after I asked for it. But past that... sheesh, I just wanted to cry at every turn, because nobody freaking got it. I had actors who hadn't read the script at all before they were put on camera, cameos where people couldn't read the simple instructions on how to do what I needed, and other cameos that waited until literally under 48 hours before the movie was supposed to debut at MAGFest, and I'm nearly ripping my hair out because they said they were going to come see the movie, and I'm wondering how they're expecting to do that when their part in the movie hasn't been submitted to me.
And in the end, when everybody sat down and saw what the movie really was, it was like people were just shocked, like, "Oh, you WEREN'T trying to do some dumb 20 minute thing that had nothing to do with Justin?" I mean, maybe if people actually helped us, our movie would have been different. Maybe it would have been better.
Or maybe it would have still been crap. Or maybe I'm full of crap because maybe if I gave the whole job to any of you, maybe all of you would have done better with even less. I confess, I'm NOT a camera person. I make my living sitting in front of a stationary camera. I'm NOT a movie editor. I wish Matt had been able to edit the whole movie for me. He has a far better eye for cinema. But he was already doing so much with the special effects, and in fact he almost couldn't finish them because he ended up being terrifyingly ill in the hospital during our editing process (thankfully he's fine now). I'm saying, I'm aware that this job likely should have not been given to me, and I absolutely wish I had more qualified people helping me. I wish people had cared more when I was begging them to care and pay attention. This is why I say I never want to go through this again. You can't make anybody care unless you're giving them money, not even when the project is supposed to be something good and meaningful.

Completely disagree. You were one of the only people passionate and committed enough to follow through, and you didn't take the shitty way out and just skim money off Patreon, IndieeGoGo, or Kickstarter.
Quite frankly, I don't know who else would've been better at it.

I admit to being very fringe, which is something I choose to do on purpose, but yep, I'm still a Channel Awesome producer.
