On 4th February 1994 at 3:29pm I aimlessly wandered into the living room and flicked on the TV as the 'phone rang. Picking up the 'phone, I glanced at the screen and saw the last three seconds of the closing credits of Episode 5 of Season 1 of MMPR. I stood in shock as I realised that this event would change my life forever. (P.S. the caller hung up..) After confirming my suspicions the following day with the Pudgy Pig, I was hooked. Totally. Suddenly Astroboy and Robotech just weren't good enough anymore. For the next eight months my every breath was "Power Rangers" and if I didn't see at least four hours per day I would go into shock. That was until the 15th November, when through an extremely unlikely chain of events, I was given the job of Art Department Electrician on the first MMPR movie, to build the next generation of Zords to those I had come to know and love. The Art Director (Colin Gibson) swore he would cure me of this disease and that I would never crave for MMPR again after jumping in. And so this piggy jumped into the mud. As the dreams of all -then- fans were realised for me (some good chats with the PR actors..) we set about the task of work. And it NEARLY worked Colin. But I'm afraid near enough isn't good enough. |
As I said, this event changed my life. That typical thing that blindsides you at
4pm on some idle Tuesday. If you want to know what happened to do this, you need to click here: If you are still intrigued and want to know what happened to my life AFTER Power Rangers, you need to click here: |
