POWER RANGERS PROMOTE
HALLOWEEN SAFETY TO
MILLIONS OF KIDS AND PARENTS

In Addition To Halloween Safety, Power Rangers emPOWER To Also Implement New Initiatives And Partnerships For Health And Fitness This Fall

LOS ANGELES (September 28, 2011) – Saban Brands announced today a forthcoming multi-platform national Halloween safety campaign featuring the Samurai Power Rangers, along with additional activities for their Power Rangers emPOWER initiative for fall 2011. Beginning next month, Saban Brands will launch a multi-platform campaign focused on Halloween safety featuring the Power Rangers, designed to reach parents and children at schools, in theaters, online, and at home.

Videos about Halloween safety featuring the cast of the #1 kids action series Power Rangers Samurai will air in movie theaters nationwide before PG and G-rated films. Some of the many important tips that the Power Rangers will share include:

· Do not eat unwrapped candy.

· When trick-or-treating, make sure to also take a glow stick or flashlight, or add reflective tape to your costume so that cars may more easily see you.

· Never go trick-or-treating alone. Use teamwork and stay in groups or with a parent.

Special bulletin board posters reinforcing safe trick-or-treating guidelines will be distributed to 5,000+ elementary schools across the country. Also, online, kids can visit powerrangers.com/Halloween for more Halloween Halloween safety tips, videos, activities, games and resources throughout the month of October. The Power Rangers will also be reaching parents and kids through some of the most popular parenting blogs, entertainment websites, and gaming portals.

“Saban Brands is committed to sharing the message of Halloween safety with young Power Rangers fans and parents worldwide,” said Saban Brands president Elie Dekel. “In addition, we’re also continuing to encourage families to live a more active and healthier lifestyle with the Power Rangers emPOWER program.”

As part of Saban Brands and Power Rangers’ commitment to promote the health and well being of millions of young Power Rangers fans nationwide, additional initiatives tied to the Power Rangers emPOWER program are also scheduled for this fall, including Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play, a partnership with Every Body Walk!, where the Rangers will participate in Walk To School Day, and the newest cycle of the Power Rangers emPOWER Sweepstakes.

Power Rangers emPOWER was developed in conjunction with the hit television series Power Rangers Samurai to inspire kids and families to put the Power Rangers values of teamwork, confidence, health and physical activity into action. The initiative shows kids and parents how to make healthy choices through programs at schools, online, and at live events in local communities.

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters Episode 2: The Note, 3: How Time Flies, and 4: Switch

I will only be uploading some episodes, I like the first debate early in the episode, the rest is routine and cliche, which Drew expresses disdain over. I see it as accepting stereotypical-ness. Oscar Wilde is quoted: "Discontent is the first step in the progress of a person or a nation”.

Episode 3 How Time Flie

Episode 4 Switch

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills First Episode

Some people might not like it, see it as a cheap knock-off of Power Rangers, but in this first episode, it is not obvious but it is a parody of MMPR, the other episodes highlight this. It is now airing on THIS tv. Where I live, it is channel 226 on Comcast South Florida. I can't wait until the October 23rd episode "The Universal Hitchhiker" which features Kevin Castro as Rick/Orion, which makes the team doubt their mentor Nimblar. I do plan to put video of some select episodes after they air but not all of them. I don't want to do all of them because not all are gems.

Mythical Destiny - Director's Commentary

You don't have to listen to my commentary, but I love commentaries and have listened to a lot of them. I know not a lot of people like commentaries. Also wanted to say that the reason Larry (Green) is called Larry is because it was his personal request since he never heard of a Ranger name like that. He love Super Sentai and especially the monsters. Raquel (Pink) wasn't that into PR but now loves being a Power Ranger, she kept her jacket. Alexis (Yellow) was indifferent but seen the movies before as a kid. Sean (Red) was a fan since a kid, he has seen MMPR to Lightspeed and knows of SPD. Peter (Blue) didn't really know much but remember MMPR and imitated Jason in the dub. Johnny (Vorous) knows a lot of PR, mostly Saban era and knows some Sentai. In fact, he was going to be a Bulk-like character.

The Opening:

MYTHICAL DESTINY FAN FILM

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.



View Discretion is Advised. This is a non-profit project, lots of sweat ad blood. Thank you so much to those who helped, this took around three years. Power Rangers is property of Saban Brands and Gosei Sentai Dairanger is property of Toei Company. The following is for no profit and meant for fun and inspired by fans.



This is the story (similar to Shinkenger) where 5 youngsters have destiny to fulfill because their families fought and they trained too. Set in 2005. Tyson (Red) doesn't think he needs the help and Larry (Green) doesn't want to do it. Marvin, their tech guy, sets out to collect all five of them.



I know some scenes you cant hear what they are saying, some scenes blurry, some don't match lighting (one bright, one dark) and some sound effects are wrong places. No time to reshoot and we all did this for free in our spare time. There is a reason it is amateur! And yes, I know it's short. I'll be releasing a Director's Commentary soon!

OUTTAKES:

Mythical Destiny Online August 31st

Finally finished with my fan film Mythical Destiny. It took 2 years and it's not perfect and there are lots of things I wish I could fix. It is what it is, no excuses. Have a laugh. This was much harder than I originally thought. I shot this in the span of two summers, I didn't shoot anything at all during fall, winter or spring because of work, family problems and scheduling. All that could go wrong went wrong, my camera broke down (that's why some scenes are blurry--I did get a new camera), I got a mono microphone so some of the sound is off, some things you can't understand what they are saying, two people moved away and I had to re-cast one of the Rangers, so all the mistakes I'm using to go along with the comedy effect.

It's a comedy hands down. Anywayz, I'm going to have a big premiere with my friends on August 30th and it will be online on the YouTube channel August 31st and I will later post it here on Henshin Grid. The 30th I will have a big premiere with my friends with a fake red carpet in a big university auditorium and will take pictures and post them up here.

Lavender Ranger's Gokai Cellular Toy Review

Unlike the Mobirates I got, this Gokai Cellular is just fine. I just wish it could detect what kind of key is in there. I also tried the Gokai Silver key in the Mobirates. It's a great toy, it is near the same size of the Mobirates but I wish it was smaller and I wish it folded because it is too big to be a cell.

Toy Week 2: My Collection Part 1

In honor of Toy Week 2, I decided to show a bit of my Power Ranger collection, I got some Super Sentai and Kamen Rider stuff. This is half of the collection, I got some more I might show later. I might be missing some bit and pieces that are in storage. Most of these are pretty dusty. I miswrote Gun mode as Sword Mode on the subtitle.
