And welcome back to the Blurred Spectrum Podcast, Black Content Creators Part Two. These content creators have given us so many nuggets so far, but we got still so many of them here to give you that information and showcase their brand, promote their existence, their talents, their gifts. Check out part two, melanated solstice, black content creators. Let's get it. Alright, so uh we've had you sitting in this office for over an hour. Uh you are late to show up to the party, but you're here now. An urban nerd. Uh you are uh artist, poet laureate, um musician, uh spokesperson. But now, uh, if I'm not incorrect, and I know I'm not because I'm the one who uh had the uh luxury of contacting you for this episode, I know you are going on another venture. So, what is it that you're doing? Give us a little bit of insight. You know, tell us how you decided to move into this new format of content.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

Um, yes, thank you again for having me. Uh, Venita, I'm gonna need your info. ASAP, uh, because I literally keep seeing all the satin and head wraps and everything else, and I'm like, I need something. So uh, yeah, I'm gonna find you. Um, so I am excited to let you all know um that me and a friend, he's been leaning on me for a couple of years now, and I will be starting up the podcast. Um, so I can say that honestly, y'all are one of my inspirations, yes, because I follow y'all. Um even being able to see y'all um go to all the um what's called all the time, being able to listen into y'all live um recordings or watching videos of y'all and y'all content, just y'all growth, I'm not gonna lie. Like being able to see it like from start to where it is now, I'm always in awe of y'all. Um, and then when I can be like, oh yeah, Blair Spectrum, they're like, oh snap, I hear them. I'm like, yeah, so now I kind of know them, you know, it's like we famous, y'all. Oh no, yes. Yes, yes, legit, legit. Like, so I mean, uh, you know, same, like pandemic, I think it was like it was 2020, you know, my my my father Andrew was talking about doing the podcast. He was talking about a bunch of ideas that he wanted to do, and like early on, I was like, man, you already know I'd do a couple of things. I was like, I would love to, but I was like, I don't want to half-ass it. I don't want to like tell you I'm gonna do this because I don't think that I got the energy. So we were just talking about like things that that we couldn't possibly do a podcast about, and we're like, man, it's really just what we always bond over. We always bond over music, we always bond over dance, he's like a b-boy dancer. Um, we always talk about rap. Um, and just overall, like, ways that combos that we had that we wish we had were able to have when we were younger, and passing along information when he was starting his LLC, it was both of us like, man, I didn't even think about these combos, or you know, um, not only content creation, but ways that we can um do events and yes, get compensated off of events, ways that we can tie things together. Um, I was able to go down there and perform at a B-Boy battle. And I'm like, Dad, I didn't even know they still do B-Boy battles. Like, um, it was it was a lot of stuff that we we found people still were interested about. And so we're like, man, if we do do a podcast, um, you know, we at this point we're gonna name it root purpose, and we just really want to get to the root of things where we can um talk about those conversations of, you know, mental health and well, where we can talk about LLTs, insurance, um, talking about starting up businesses and how we can't possibly get those off the ground. So I'm really excited to share that with you all because yeah, y'all are like one of my main inspirations. Like we really were looking at how y'all were making moves to see how we could start off on a good note and um how we could be, you know, coming in, um, and not just, you know, talking about like Lord knows I'll have these alpha men be talking about on podcasts, but just really be having a podcast where we can have some context and content and really be helping people. So um, yeah, man, I'm really excited to be introducing that.

SPEAKER_01 4:13

Uh I definitely have the uh luxury of uh talking to both uh Josh, uh Nerva Nerd and uh Andrew about their podcast. And you know, one of the things, and it's it's interesting again about talking about this podcast while um you know having this particular episode because one of the main things, the premises about it is being able to introduce concepts that individuals are not black individuals are not normally present-minded about. Like there's so many different things that especially our generations, about 10 years up, 10 years down, that you know, we're being introduced to, but not being introduced to properly. We're being thrusted into them. Um and I'm not talking about like pandemics and you know, sicknesses. I'm literally talking about all of the things that normal, well not normal, I'm gonna say it that way, let's say our opponents, opponents, that's kind of rude. Um, let's say our uh fairer skinned colleagues, um, what they have had the opportunity to be bred and born in and taught from very young ages, those are the things that either hopefully our parents experienced and were able to pass down, or we were able to interact with an older sibling, older uh relative that was able to instruct us on. Because I've had so many conversations with people who don't know things about taxes or don't know things about insurance or don't know anything about buying their first home or even renting an apartment. Like it's it's all about kind of like what was the word? Um uh trial and error, which is not the most healthiest way to go about experiencing things because depending on what you have as your foundational wealth, if you if you have an error, it can leave you homeless for some time, or worse, and you know, having a podcast like a root purpose where it literally has, you know, not to you know give you a pun, but literally getting to the root of it and being able to talk about everything from the ground up. Um, I was all for it and I I wanted to make sure that uh you I'm I'm promoting this more than you are. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_00 6:20

Um I was gonna jump in. You jumped in and got excited. Look, we're not gonna be. Um, so it it is a big part of trying to, you know, destigmatize those things. Um, you know, my partner Andrew having, you know, what's it called? Um now he's married, he has three daughters, um, and his his his second when his um his second character, because he had twins, it was a whole thing he had to learn about the specific types of twins, you know, and um what what were things that were coming over with the medical process of that. And just sitting and talking to him, it was like when as men we are ill-equipped to have these combos, just because we don't have these combos enough. Um, and you know, even sitting and talking to him, it was good where I could just like sit and just listen, you know, and not try to like give input of like, oh I heard about this, this stuff, nah, I have no idea, man. Like I'm glad I can like learn from osmosis and experience through you, like what you're going through, um, and even be a support just to learn to hear some time. So we're really excited to to bring some people in that can share those things. Um, we have friends that are right now, they're therapists, they had they went in do like sex therapy and helping couples um that we want to bring on. Uh we have um lawyers that we're friends with that um even for me as a musician was like, hey, spend some time with me, talk about things that you can and can't do. Like, I got in a whole argument with the photographer because he was trying to charge me like $300 for a picture. Picture wasn't that bad. Um, and to the point where, like, it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't. He was like, I used a big lens and zoomed in, and me and my friends were like, Yeah, but you can't see the crowd, you can't see nothing else. But um, anyway, but yeah, I had to learn, like, oh, you know, the difference between the IP and me doing a concert, even though he was contracted by the concert, he was doing he is able to do individual um contracts with the photos, and I was like, I would have no idea like what I could or couldn't take from the website of you know what's called the festival. And so then I had to go talk to a lawyer and be like, oh, I have to work this out ahead of time, get this in writing, get these things in writing so that if I am coming, you know, I can walk away without some kind of content that I can promote. Because I can't really promote a lot of that festival um unless my my team shot it, you know. So um, it's a lot of stuff definitely in the art, um, which we know where people always try to take advantage of you, people always try to like get what they can um without making sure that you're taken care of. And I I we really hope that we can set that time and uh reach out to more people so we can, you know, give you some information, um, help give you some some something to go home to um listen to on your ride home from work and and walk away with some of those tools that um like you said, some people that you know grew up in other other means um might have grown up just knowing um um be having the benefit of having those people already in their family. Um so I'm super excited to to bring that to y'all and be able to share some things with you. Phenomenal.

SPEAKER_02 10:47

Where where where can I hear you at?

SPEAKER_00 10:51

Well, you know, we're gonna be uh we're gonna be on all platforms. Uh if y'all, if y'all, you know, didn't see, you know, I got I gotta rep, you know, I got rep HU. Um so we are hoping that you know our first our first drink could be soon in October. We know it's homecoming coming up. Uh but anyway, anyway, we're gonna be on uh what's it on Spotify, uh iHeart. Uh anywhere you can find podcasts, we're gonna be there. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

All right. So, thank you, Nurbanerd, Josh. Uh, we definitely have to go to Mr. Alex Hampton. Uh you know, definitely not last, uh, but definitely the uh uh the person that we snuck in, you know, nobody saw him coming, uh, but we have to give him the opportunity to give him the opportunity to promote himself. You know, he's uh I this is the hung up uh hangover kind of loosening up from Kondo, you know?

SPEAKER_04 11:45

Oh yeah, yeah. I'm very focused. I'm focused. Even though I didn't drink anything last night, I'm very focused. I didn't smoke anything either.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

Can't do anything. I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

Contact, you know, contact is real.

SPEAKER_04 11:59

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 12:00

That that would cut that Wakanda weed, you know.

SPEAKER_04 12:05

First of all, I I dispuse the notion that there's weed in Wokanda. We have something stronger, okay?

SPEAKER_01 12:10

I mean I think it's because we don't have a word for it yet. I think once we find the word, everybody will be quite satisfied.

SPEAKER_03 12:17

Yeah, all we have is that purple herb. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

That purple herb pack.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

Excellent. All right, so go go ahead and give us your feel, your origin story. Uh, you know, give us everything. Alexand.

SPEAKER_04 12:33

So uh my name is Alex Hampton.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

I am the um owner slash CEO of Momentum Media where we create content about um just pop culture, movie news, TV news. Um, we interview celebrities, we do short films. There's a lot of things that I dive into. We also do music, uh videography. Um, but getting here has been a religious experience. So for me, like I start so uh bad, like I'll give you like um I'll start from the beginning. Like uh back in I want to say 20, oh no, 2008. I was about I want to say I was in the eighth grade, so I was about maybe like 11 or 12. I used to play with this uh editor called move uh Windows Movie Maker.

SPEAKER_01 13:24

Yes, Movie Maker.

SPEAKER_03 13:25

Um and you know, like back in the day, like you know, I've heard you guys say like you had a strict parent home, like the internet was a no-no, like Facebook, uh, MySpace, none of that. So like it's funny, we had computers, but we couldn't log into nothing. I don't know why. It just we just couldn't. So I was a huge fan, and I still am a huge fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. And I think at that time, I think Fast and Furious 4 had came out, or it was out right around that time. So I don't know what I did, but I took all of those DVDs and I was able to copy them on my laptop and then I cut them up in Windows Movie Maker. Wow. I was just like, whoa, like I just from that point on, I fell in love with the craft of video editing because I was just taking certain scenes and putting things together. And then um, you know, back in school, we would uh use uh Windows Movie Maker to do like slideshows just with different photos, and I was a huge fan of like Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man Zero. So I would take those different things. I still think Battle Network is the best Mega Man ever. Um and then Star Force first. But but like I was putting together like a lot of different like that was my first introduction to anime was Mega Man. So like uh I was uh I was putting these different things together, and I never forget it. We had a a video like project that we had to do. Now I had never did anything with video, audio, nothing like that. But again, this is just me playing around. So the project was we had to do like our favorite artist, but tell tell a story about this artist in a very different way. So a lot of people chose like, you know, your little Wayne's and at that time, um uh Drake and all these other different people. And I was like, let me do something different. So like um, I'm raised in faith. So I did this uh uh um I did this, I did this project about uh Lecrae, he's a Christian artist, really dope rapper. I got to meet him a few times, and I did it, and I was uh for some reason, and again, I didn't have a microphone, I didn't have anything, I had a I had a phone, and I would record my audio and put it into Windows Movie Maker. Again, I don't know how I did it, I just did it, and I would uh take clips from music videos that he's done and just brought up all this stuff. So I put together this one project, it was about 20 minutes, and I came in second place, and then I was like, like, you know, my mom would always tell me, like, you know, God will have a weird way of showing you what your your purpose is. Yeah um because I was never really good at sports, I was very introverted at the time. This is middle school. See, I was very introverted. Um, I was heavily into science, the math, but you know, I didn't have a lot of people around me, like I would say now in my older age. So I think around 2009-2010 is then when I created my YouTube channel. And at the time, um I was a huge, still am a huge Static Shock fan. You can see the uh photo up here. Um it was called like Static Productions or something like that. Um and I would post like the first video I posted, which I think is still on my YouTube channel, um, was a tribute to Static Shock where I took all of well, I took majority of like season two, season three, and just made a copilation and threw a track behind it. And it like that was the first time my video ever hit like a thousand views within like two days. Wow. And then it just it just like climbed. So I was just like, I didn't, I didn't understand it. Now back that now back at this time, this was early YouTube. Early YouTube. You can get away with a whole lot of copyrighted stuff. So I was just like, okay. So I noticed that around that time they were doing um fan-made trailers. So I remember when Fast Five came out again, huge Fast and Fears fan. I went to go see the movie, loved the movie. I said, you know what? I'm gonna make a Fast Six trailer. So the next day after the movie came out, I made a Fast Six trailer. Three months go by, a million views. But so at that time, no, this around like 2011, 2010, 2011. When you hit a million views, YouTube sends you emails about stuff like, hey, we see your popping and all this other stuff. Well, I got a different type of email. I got an email from YouTube and Universal. So it's they said, uh, we're we're proud that you're a fan and blah, blah, blah, all this other stuff. But um, if you don't take this video down, we'll take your whole channel down. I was like, you have got to be kidding me. I was just like, so they were like, yeah, you have 30 days to comply. And you know, I'm like, nah, they just, you know, they just talking all that mess. Like day 20, I get another email where like they're very serious, especially like getting an email from Universal first, then not YouTube. I'm like, oh okay, so they're not, they're not, they're not playing. So what I did was I just privated my video. So at that time again, very early on YouTube, that I kind of snuck under the radar, and I I let it sneak under the radar for maybe about another month or so. And then I did another fan-made trailer. I did uh like uh, I think it was uh uh Transformers 4, Rise of Galvatron or something like that. Again, that trailer hit like 100,000 views. Get another email from YouTube. You cannot use the copyright, all this other stuff. So before there was a Justice League trailer or Justice League movie ever coming together, I put together a Justice League fan-made trailer with Christian Bell as Batman and Brandon Robert's Superman and and it just put everything together. That trailer hit like I think 600,000, and that was when I got my first copyright strike. And I was just like, crap. So I couldn't upload, I couldn't do anything. So what I did was, and then what I did was I got an email saying that even if you put those videos on private, it's still going to hurt against you. Yeah, and that's when I had hit about maybe about a thousand subscribers. So I said, I put out a video, I said, you know what, I'll no longer make fan-made trailers. So I took those trailers down, my viewership went all the way down, subscriber account went all the way down, and I'm like, ah, you know, it was just it was a lot. So I started to think to myself, okay, well, I want to be a filmmaker, I want to create content, I am an actor, I can do all these different things. So, right around in college, I got in college around 2012, 2013, I started taking film classes and I just started studying the aspect of film. This one guy who came, he worked in Hollywood, this one guy came to Hollywood from Hollywood and said, Hey, we appreciate that you guys have this love for film and all this other stuff. But I'm gonna be honest with y'all, especially all the he literally said this, especially all the black people in here. Um, I don't care what you get your degree in, I don't care if you went to the most prestigious uh film school, if you have not produced anything, we really do not give a damn. And I was just like, damn. So I was like, well, why the hell am I here then? Like I'm paying all this money and all this other stuff. So I was just like, okay, let me just do something different. So at that time, I remember there was a channel, I don't know if it's still there, called Clever Movies. And they would review movies. And um, I said, you know what? I watch a lot of movies, I'm into movie making. Let me start reviewing movies on my channel. So I started reviewing movies. I started, I think the first movie review I did was like I think it was fast six around that time, and then I did uh I did uh some Transformers and I did a lot of comic book stuff. So over time I noticed I started to regain some of my viewership back, and then also started to regain some of my other stuff back. So I this is around now, fast forward around maybe 2014, I started to get real serious about my content creating, and then also, like I said, I'm a musician, so I don't want to be a musician like talking about my music on the Breakfast Club, but I like I do it for fun, so I can sing, I can produce, I can do all this other stuff. So I would put out like little stuff out here and there when Instagram was just starting out. Starting up, yep. So I said, okay, let me do something a little bit different. So I changed my YouTube channel from static productions to brand new productions because I thought it would be something a little bit more biblical, like made in his new image. I'm brand new and image something of that nature and to me I thought that was very corny so for years I just like I was struggled with that name from like 2014 up until 20 I want to say yeah 2018 and from 2014 to 2018 I was just building things on my channel from um I just can't just different content creating from reviews TV reviews and then I went into movie news so around like 2015 is when I found out about AMC AMC movie talk with John Campia and then and then um it then turned into collider movie talk and I would study their formula of commentating because you can't just get on camera I mean you can get on camera and talk about it but there's a formula you have to go about it. So I studied that and then I started to pick up on that. So 2015 I get married and um I uh uh I start um learning more about content creating so I just I I I I'm a like I'm a book nurse so I like to study before I put something out and I said you know what a lot of my friends and family have been encouraging me to make a short film I love film like I love everything about film I should just do it right like I shouldn't wait till I graduate and do it let me just do it so in 2015 I put out this fan made poster I said hey if I were to make a static shock fan film would y'all watch it whoa so um I had a like 20 people like it and everyone was like do it you're so creative you should do this blah blah blah I said all right I hope y'all keep that same energy so um I so in 2015 I take at the time I had an iPhone 6 um I had an iPhone 6 a Windows movie uh a Windows uh computer and at my at my school we had this thing called the Skylab where we could use their products to edit so I learned Adobe After Effects and then I learned uh Premiere Pro within three months of me creating this and then I learned how to write a script and let me just say this when you're making a film when you're in the film directing it writing it producing it it humbles the hell out of you because you think you know everything until you're like in it so I I I learned all these things and then I start the casting process and I put everything together this thing took me almost a year to do it's still on my channel now so um December 2016 I believe yeah December 2016 December 10th to be exact I put out static shock the movie first day first day 10 000 views I was like and now mind you it is shot very amateur like it's shot on an iPhone some parts are shot in a camera with an actual camera and I'm just like whoa the grab the the effects are mediocre like I'm like whoa and like I'm getting positive feedback I got negative feedback too but I got a lot of positive I think uh back then um then going into like February I remember Valentine's Day I get another update from um YouTube 30 000 views I was just like whoa so I think by the end going into the new year by by half of the a new year ending it had hit over 66000 views so once it hit around 60 66 to 70 000 I get an email from YouTube from Milestone from Warner Brothers and like and here's the thing I when I got the email from Warner Brothers they were actually positive they were like yo we really like the like the fact that you took um stock into our character but you cannot uh what I did was in the intro of the movie when you watch it the actual intro opens up with the actual static shock theme music in the actual intro for the show. So I put that in the movie um just to have like a bridge between the cartoon and right real life. And they're like we're glad that you take stock in the character but um you cannot use this in your in your film and then I got like a lot of different emails from milestone saying that you know hey we're trying to rebrand the character we understand that you're making a fan film but we noticed that there are ads running on your on your videos. They were not ads that I placed they were just ads that YouTube placed of course so I had to let them know hey you have to reach out for YouTube because I have not received a dime for this at all. So uh YouTube when I when I said that YouTube kind of slowed down the algorithm in particular for that particular video to the point where when it hit a hundred thousand I stopped getting views and then I didn't really I I didn't understand why so I didn't find that out to literally like uh in 2019. So I didn't I couldn't understand that why so I went back and I saw it I was like okay let me just blur some things and mute some things and now you can watch you still watch it now and um it's still gaining some process now but I did that back in 2016. So I noticed that um I had a an a I guess an inkling about what I should be doing. So in 2017 the next day I had a not next day next year I did a Miles Morales film. Somebody who's uh somebody a black artist he sent me a a uh I think a I think a seven to eight foot Miles Morales costume and it was for free I said you know what I'm gonna make a Miles Morales movie and then I did it wrote the script produced everything same same same thing how static went had a lot of highs and lows got a lot of different emails and then I said you know what I've seen a lot of static shock fan films but I've never seen sequels to those fan films. So I made a sequel to my fan films called Static Shock Uprising and this time I used my own music I produced my own beats I produced every everything about that film was shot professionally after learning everything I got um some producers involved and um uh another cameraman involved everything about that film I spent about like 3000 on that film this it does really well on YouTube but like even now when you go back and watch it now it's like at 3000 views and I'm not gonna YouTube was very honest with me they said because of the past fan films I've done he had to slow down the slow down the algorithm of characters that I did not own so this was back in 2018 and I released that film in 2018 and I realized I said you know what a lot of black people tend to make movies and things about characters that they don't own so that's when I decided okay I'm going to make my own original films based off my own thoughts and things of that nature which I've created a new short film that I haven't shot yet but I will be shooting sometime hopefully by the end of this year. So I did that um that was back in 2018 and then um going into 2019 uh me and my my wife at the time we moved to Orlando and I said I'm gonna take this very serious now by mind you from 2014 to 2018 my YouTube name was brand new productions yep stupid name um uh so and I was like yo I have to find like a brand like I have to find something just make me stand out so in 2019 me and a homeboy uh one of my friends at the time he um helped me come up with a name and we were like you know your cut your channel has a lot of momentum and you produce a lot of media I was like Moment media and then and then just from that point on when I rebranded myself I said okay let me focus on the content creation aspect and involve other creators so at that time I did a lot of collaborations with other creators um that's where I met uh my co-host now Jeremy from um movies are terrible and then Ian Elliott Carter from um the controversy we do the show every week called uh the Ask Alex show where we just talk about movies TVs TV shows pop culture things of that nature and we've been doing that uh since uh essentially since the pandemic so but in but going back and up a little bit in 2019 when I rebranded myself I wanted to start interviewing like content creators and um and um actors and celebrities so the first person I interviewed was a content creator and then my next interview was a couple other content creators and then my first actor that I interviewed was someone who was on Collider. He uh I forget his I forget his name I have to go back in my my my channel to see it's it's it's all on my channel and that was like my first big thing for me and I was like okay now if I can reach out to somebody who's on a major channel like Collider this is the sky's the limit. Yep so the next big person I get after him and mind you I'm just starting out was uh Robert Meyer Burnett the co-host of the John Campia show wow so I get him on my show we talk for like a good hour and I'm like oh my God so from there the sky was the limit and again I live in Orlando so we got a lot of events going on with Disney improv and other stuff so after him I do some more actors that I'm close with today who who live in LA and live in different parts of the world who've been in little things like this like SWAT and Empire things of that nature nothing major roles but they they've they've had speaking roles and those things and then like after I've done that I get an interview from a cast from a cast member from Wildin'out the original cast member Miss Rossica Mather that was like whoa like I was like okay she hit me up on Instagram she was like yo I came across your channel I would like to be on your show now I'm thinking it's Instagram there's so many bots and craziness I'm like let me see I was like I was like that's why I had to pull up my phone I said uh how about you just FaceTime me two minutes later she's calling I'm like this better not be a dude this better not be you know I mean like I'm like yo I'm like I'm like I'm like yo this better not be like a scam and I answer the phone call I'm like oh my god you're real she was like yeah what did you think I was I was like I was like oh snap so we we um so we schedule a day um we do the interview and then that was like when I did the Ross Kamather interview at that point that's where a lot of um I guess uh momentum for lack of a better word came to my way because after her I did another interview with uh comedian TK Kirkland he came to Orlando uh he gave me his phone number and I met him at his hotel uh we did the interview in the lobby and he gave me tickets to his show and after him I did a uh I did an Instagram live with comedian Sinbad put that on my YouTube channel I was just like yo like this this this ish the momentum's building right I'm like I'm like God I don't know what you're doing right now but just use me the best way that you can so I'm talking to Sinbad really dope dude then after Sinbad I do an interview with uh uh another big content creator uh uh Sean Chandler um this is during the pandemic now like we're getting into the pandemic now where I uh start interviewing him and then I think 2020 was one of my favorite years even though we were in a cut caught in the throes of the pandemic I had two back-to-back celebrity interviews one was with uh uh comedian Pierre uh Pierre Edwards who's on Def Jam he's on Comedy Hype I did that I did that uh he reached out to me um reached out to the people at Comedy Hype we did a like a 30 minute interview put it on my YouTube channel oh wait before then I did another wild and out cast member Darren Brand Big Baby from Wildin' Out that was the beginning that was before the pandemic then it was Pierre and then literally the next so this is gonna be a funny story I don't want to keep y'all too long but this is going to be a funny story. So I did a review of House Party. I'm a huge house party fan yes um kid I because I tagged kid in play kid likes the video on Instagram so I messaged him I said I just DM'd him like later in 2019 I said hey man huge fan I'm Alex from Momentum Media love to have you on you on the show blah blah blah all this other stuff well you can see that he reads the thing but he doesn't say anything I was like really dude like you wanna leave me already exactly you know what I mean so the next year during the pandemic it was literally right after I get done interviewing Pierre he messaged me back he said hey man I just saw your message a year later yeah sure he was like yo I would love I would love to have you on my I would love to be on your show um here's my information so he sends me his email I'm emailing him and his assistant I said hey man I would love to have you on your show this is this is literally after I interview Pierre he was like I'd love to have you on the show sometime this week he was like how about tomorrow I said all right bet wow he sends me his phone number and I'm like okay God let this be real let this be real I call him now mind you he's in LA I'm in Orlando different time zones I call and I said hi this is Alex from Momentum Media can I speak to Christopher Reed he said this is he and I was like ho hey I want to make sure that we're we're still on today to do the interview he said yeah just send me the zoom link we'll jump right in I said okay and he asked me where I was from and I told him where I was from we talked like briefly over the phone that same day I get him on the show and like when as I'm doing the interview kid is so chill it's like we're talking like we've known each other for years and I like I told him off camera I said listen you don't understand how big house party and your music was to me and my and my family because we didn't have cable but yet I watched all of the house party movies and I was just like and and BET you didn't have to have cable to watch BET I was just like this is just surreal for me. So I remember when I did that interview and I put it out everybody from like my close friends and then the fans that I've been able to build were like Alex I see you're growing and growing and growing like it was crazy mind you kid had just got done doing Vlad Vlad has like four four or five million video uh uh subscribers have three thousand so the fact that he got done doing Vlad and coming to my YouTube channel I was like yo this is crazy that that was the interview that I saw you do and I was like oh my gosh I I was just like what I was just mind blown so after him pandemic kind of like slowed everything down people were um trying to regroup and make more extra money so I couldn't get as many interviews as I wanted to but the funny thing I'm a huge gamer um I I kind of fell in love fell back in love with gaming so I did uh I started playing Marvel Spider-Man and um horizon and all this other stuff and I said you know I would love the the fact that the voice actor who voices Marvel Spider-Man from PlayStation 4 be on my show. So I reached out to his his management company or his agency and he literally like sent me an email back he said hey man I'd love to be on the show but right now I'm I'm um I'm too busy at the moment let's schedule for a later date this was back in 2020 I did not know he was recording Miles Morales and even now Marvel Spider-Man 2 yeah so I said okay um I'll we'll we we'll definitely reschedule a year goes by we're in 2020 I hit him up again he says the same thing so I think in 2021 he messaged me he says hey I'm available now would love to come back come on your show and talk up for about 15 20 minutes I said okay cool because you know he also does other things he's the voice actor of Ben 10 yeah he's the voice actor of Sasuke Uchiha one of my favorite Naruto characters so and I mind you I'm learning this I did not know this until I did my own research so I get him on the show like no before I get him on the show the day before the Marvel Spider-Man 2 trailer comes out I'm losing my mind and I'm like yo I'm about to have Yuri learn through the voice on my show the next day. And so the first thing I asked him when I the first thing I asked him I said so uh before we jump into this interview um is this your first appearance since what was announced and he said yeah I think it is too bad I can't talk about it I was Marvel but eternally goaded for that I was like yo are you so like I said I have a couple I have a couple kick questions but I'm not gonna you know I cannot I could not legally ask him right what it was it about what you're doing that's Marvel for you his his job would have been on the line my job probably would have been on the line like it was just so like we dive into his back history from Benton then I talk about the stuff he's done on Naruto he's done like over a thousand episodes of Naruto playing the same character and I just asked him he says it on he says it in the interview I said uh did you ever think that you would be marrying Sakura because she was such a hoe like you know I mean like he was like he was like I told the producers like yo I hate like he's cool with the voice actor but like I hated her character and now we're married and we have a child it's like it's so unlike Sasuke I said yeah because you know if you think about it Sasuke even though he's Asian had a lot of white privilege he killed most of the hidden leaf village and they just let him go I'm like hmm that's interesting so I was just like you know but like we were just joking around and like then we get then we start talking about Spider-Man and I told him I'm like I played Spider-Man I played it on all different level uh levels and in this in the game his co I guess his his partner's name is Yuri his real name is his his actual real name is Yuri so I asked him I said all those scenes where you were saying your name was it weird talking to you know your your co your co-host or your uh your your partner even though your partner shares the same name as you he was like it was very weird because the director would say Yuri and I wasn't sure if he was referring to me or the partner and his partner was played by his wife his real actual real wife and it was just weird how they were able to bond during this game uh during during that game while she was playing a character using his real name and he's Peter Parker. So then we talk about Miles Morales you know I see how you're being the bigger brother in this in this game and you're passing the rings of Miles Morales and I said before we jump into Miles uh to Spider-Man 2 all the fans who are watching I cannot ask Yuri any direct questions but I wanted to tell you I saw the trailer lost my mind for the trailer what can you say about this this game and he said at the moment all I can say is we're working on it and the only thing that I can say is that working with Tony Todd coming as Venom is it's just the best thing that we've ever been able to do. And I said well have you guys completed motion capture all all I can say is we're working on it. And I was just like I I was losing my mind because I was like yo like there's so much I want to ask you like there's like a looks like a time jump has happened. So off camera I can say this now because it's been confirmed there's a part in the interview where I asked him where I cut it it cut it out because um he wasn't allowed to publicize that information but I had asked him in the interview are you voicing Spider-Man in the Avengers game and in the interview he said they told me not to say anything about it. I said that's fine I'll just cut it out. But come to find out he didn't voice it he did provide some voice to the character but they ultimately didn't bring him over because Insomniac and that other group are two different things. Yeah definitely so um but yeah so I I asked him that and then I asked him are you in Spider-Man No Way Home? He said he had no calls from Sony even though he goes to the Sony offices every day. And I'm like you know so it's just like it was it was it was one of my favorite interviews that I got to do because like like I said like doing a comic book character of some kind it was just crazy. But the fact that the Marvel Spider-Man trailer came out the day before I got to interview him I could not say nothing. Nothing and it was like and I don't want to insult him I'm like come on bruh like you know how give me a little bit like you know so that happened and then um I think later on I uh the next big interview I did was actually recently was with uh comedian Capone uh comedian Capone who's on comedy height he's done def jam and all this other stuff So I'm kind of getting back into my feet. 2022 was a little bit of a hard year for me because unfortunately I had divorced my wife because she was doing some crazy stuff that I won't get into. But she did some things that caused me to transition into where I am now, where I'm just basically rebuilding and re-establish, re-establishing relationships. And you know, over the course of doing this, I got to meet a lot of great people like Nick Cannon and people from Wildin' Out. I'll never forget Nick Cannon invited me to Wildin' Out. They came to Orlando, they gave me free tickets, and I went. And I don't know if you guys know the character uh Rip Michaels, who likes to pull people's wigs off. Yeah, yeah. He was doing that in the Orlando uh stadium, and he did that to one of the uh uh to the uh to one of the people who were there, and he was literally running around the stadium, and Nick Cannon was looking at me, he was like, Yo, you want to come on stage? I said, Nah bruh. Know what y'all do? I'm good. Like I don't have any wigs on or anything like that, but I'm like, I'm good. Like y'all can stay, y'all can stay where y'all at. Um, but uh I got to meet the cast, and then um we have this thing called here in Orlando called MegaCon. I met people like Mike Coulter from Luke Cage and Steve Hell and Zachary Levi. Um this past year I met um the cast of Lord of the Rings, uh the original Lord of the Rings, not Rings of Power, that craziness. But no, um yeah, that's a whole nother topic. Um but yeah, so over the over by each episode.

SPEAKER_08 45:40

Let me say that exactly.

SPEAKER_03 45:43

So um, but yeah, I I so over the over this course of uh the time I've been able to build my brand to what it is, and like what I've been falling back into is uh music. So if you follow me on Instagram, here and there I would maybe do like a couple covers here or there or throw like a remix to it or something like that. And then um I'm getting back into YouTubeing by still doing my live show, or not my live show, but my um my weekly show. Um, me and my my co-host, we created a game show called Real Debates where we take different movies and we debate them in like a three-round battle. It's so funny. There's a the biggest I'll I'll send you if you guys go to my YouTube channel, type in Momentum Media. The the biggest debate we had was uh Martin versus the Fresh Prince of Belair. It was so funny. You have to watch it. I'm not gonna tell you who wins because it's the part one and part two, and it's hilarious. It's so it's so much fun. But um, we did we do those types of things, and this upcoming year I'm trying to get more celebrities on the show. Um Shameless Plug, when the uh Little Mermaid trailer came out, I had reached out to Haley Bailey's people to get her on the show. But after that backlash, I seriously doubt she's coming on the show, so I don't know. I mean, I would hope so, but because I I I'm supportive of it. But um, you know, when that trailer came out, I didn't expect the negative to somewhat outweigh the positive. So that's the things you kind of have to look for when you're in that kind of business. So that's what I've been able to do. And then I announced this year that I will be going into full production of my new short film. Um that um I've had some conversations with with uh Netflix and Hulu about putting it on their service. So we're gonna shoot it here in Orlando. Uh I have all my equipment set up for it. Um, it's a black superhero in Orlando and I can't wait to do it. I'm still working out for it, I'm training for it. It's gonna be probably the most rigorous and scariest thing that I want, but I realize um as a black content creator, I'm not gonna be able to get to where I want to be unless I do it. And if the past years are a good testament of me excelling from different um celebrities and actors and relationships, I can step on on my own and do it. I'm not a huge fan of Tyler Perry, but I respect what he's been able to do. And that's where I kind of want to get momentum media, have my own studio, produce my own content. And honestly, you know, and nothing against white people or anything like that, but I don't want to ask somebody to tell my own stories. If I have my own money to fund it and put stuff together, why can't I just do it myself? So um, I don't I didn't mean to be long and drawn out about it, but that's kind of like the the the beginning, the middle, and the transition stages of what I've been in momentum media.

SPEAKER_01 48:32

No, absolutely excellent. Uh, before I say anything, it seems like Baldwin Voices has a question, his hand has been up ever since you talked about the uh voice acting with Sony. So I'm gonna go ahead and let him ask the quick.

SPEAKER_06 48:45

Hi, Alex. I I'm a big Spider-Man fan as well, so like when I heard I'm just like a man of culture. Um, I I don't know if you'll be able to answer this question. I understand it. Did he say anything for across the Spider-Verse?

SPEAKER_03 49:00

Okay, so he uh what can I? What am I allowed to say?

SPEAKER_06 49:04

It's okay. Okay, I get it. I get it. Like you don't even know.

SPEAKER_03 49:08

Okay, so okay, so like he's not, so he's they're so the video games and the movies are two different things. But the it's Sony, so they're like essentially down the hall from one another. Yeah, so they've had conversations with you know the actors who voiced the actual, you know, movies. But what I can say is that when there's certain scenes where Miles sounds completely different than Shamit Moore. I'll just say that. So that's all we gotta say. So that's all we gotta say. Um, but I will say though, when they couldn't, like for instance, when the actual voice actors couldn't do motion capture, uh Yuri and the the actor who voices Miles for the video games, they just did some motion capture and put it into across the Spider-Verse. Which is not, I mean, that's very common. That's not like a spoiler. Yeah, yeah. But like there, I I will say this, they're very aware of what goes on in these different movies and stuff like that as they you know come out.

SPEAKER_06 50:07

So yeah, thank thank you. Because I like when he when he said that, I'm just like, perhaps.

SPEAKER_01 50:16

Excellent. Um, does anybody have a question for Mr. Alex Hampton? Uh he he again, uh just like the rest of our content creators, he gave all the information. I had several questions, he eliminated quite a few of them. Um, does anybody else have a question? Yes.

SPEAKER_05 50:34

All right, so I was nerding out the whole time this guy was talking. This is why I I didn't even mention this earlier. Uh you can soundbite that into my info, I guess. Um, I actually went to school as a digital artist and then I got my master's degree in digital engineering. Wow. Um, rotoscoping, rigging, 3D modeling, uh, all of that. After Effects was my tool of choice. I used to make insane compositions between Nuke, After Effects, and Maya 3D. Um, and I didn't get to delve in the cinema 4D the most as much as I wanted to. But out of all of those things that you've used, what has been the most useful to you for any other struggling digital artists out there?

SPEAKER_03 51:19

Uh so I would say After Effects and Final Pro. Um, I like I so look for instance, I you know, and any anyone can can vouch for this who's done this. Um, PC is the way to go, but I love Mac products. Like everything that I have is Apple-based. Um, only because with PC, and I hate to say it like this, it's cheaply made, but with with with Apple, there's a reason why you're paying two grand for a chip or a processor in a way that basically heightens the the um the capability of your of your P of your of your of your product. So um After Effects is the way to go. Premiere Pro is dope as well, but um I fell in love with Final Cut because it's it I think Final Cut's a little bit more.

SPEAKER_05 52:09

Oh my god, yes, simply so that that was like so. I could not convince my director of my program to put Final Cut in the classrooms. He was under the impression that we could use like something else, and I'm like, what else is there? Yeah, I'm not using Sony Vape, and I'm not using Premiere. I can't stand either one. Like, give me Final Cut, it's so much sleeker, cleaner, easier, better.

SPEAKER_03 52:37

Now it is $300.

SPEAKER_05 52:38

So I was about to say the cost, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:41

It is $300, so you will have to make that investment, but it's worth the investment.

SPEAKER_05 52:45

It is absolutely man. Well, back then After Effects' license was like $2,000.

SPEAKER_01 52:50

Yep. How many left?

SPEAKER_05 52:52

So now they have a subscription plan, but I mean, yeah, $300 was a joke compared to buying After Effects.

SPEAKER_01 52:57

Right.

SPEAKER_05 52:58

Fair enough.

SPEAKER_09 52:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 52:59

But that was just it was it was uh it was a journey, man. The guy who uh taught me 3D modeling actually made the original Death Star. Oh his name was Ken Wesley, and Mark Albanel was in charge of EA, I think EA Canada, or he worked, he was in charge of the project Need for Speed. Um they're both credited on IMDB. And uh he did that in Canada before he decided to come to the United States. So it was it was interesting learning from them. Uh, but most of what they taught was like what I would consider outdated knowledge that could not be used in your own personal business or marketing. It'd be used if you became a team member at some company like you know Blizzard or Treyarch or something like that. So it was it was a love hate. And uh like like like what you did, you know, you just kind of moved out and did your own thing and started directing and writing your own stuff, and then everything you had learned became useful.

SPEAKER_09 54:07

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 54:10

So I mean I really loved hearing that story, man. Oh, yeah, I and I was that that struck home with me.

SPEAKER_03 54:16

Oh, oh yeah, definitely, definitely. And I and I do appreciate it. And I would I would encourage anyone who's on this panel and anyone who's watching this video, um, the best investment you can make is in yourself. So, like phone, phone, like for instance, if you're a filmmaker of any kind or if you want to create content, this is your best tool. I went from this to a canon, and that didn't take that didn't happen over overnight, but I was consistent. If you're not consistent in it, and if you're not willing to be a student, you have to be a student of the thing, you have to learn the craft. If you're not willing to do those things, it's just not gonna work out in the way that you you think. I mean, there's some there are obviously anomalies out there, but keep in mind, not every anomaly has always a high moment. You still have to learn things, and that's why like going into it when what they teach you in film school, it's not necessarily the reality of what you have to deal with when you're making your own stuff because they'll they'll make you do these what they call call professional programs, but Final Cut Pro beats those things like by 10 or by 100.

SPEAKER_01 55:24

That's school in general.

SPEAKER_03 55:26

Exactly. So it's like it's one of those things where like you don't step out and do it yourself or figure out how to do it yourself, you always will be waiting for somebody to tell tell you to do it for you, you know.

SPEAKER_01 55:37

So and for those who were listening and not watching the video, the this he was uh Alex was referring to was his phone. Just yeah, oh yeah. Sorry, no, you're fine. He said this, I was like, uh, people didn't see hear that. Yeah, so it's phone. But no, that was uh I I agree with uh Trill. Like your actually, let me say it this way: all of your stories, 100%, every single one of your stories have uh nuggets that can easily influence um and encourage anyone who is afraid to take that next, not even the next step, afraid to get off the couch, as Trill was saying earlier, get off the couch uh and just decide to make the next step. Uh and as Renita was saying, you know, just having the thought process to, you know, figure out how she can get her products, get her materials. She may have several rooms in her house completely covered in yarn, but she's ready for whatever she needs to do for the next project. And, you know, as Baldwin was saying, you know, being able to take the influences, being able to take the history and all of the things that he wanted to do in the past, uh, different experiences that he went through in school and be able to eventually get to this point where he is, I'm going to say, comfortable in being a voice actor in a variety of different rooms is inspiring. Uh, as you know, Nerba Nerd was talking about his uh growth and his his interaction with Andrew, um, his partner in Root Purpose, they, you know, are utilizing their individual experiences and knowing that one of them has something that the other doesn't have, and they're learning from one another, being able to bring in outside guests and influence and explain and instruct individuals who are listening in things that they are not privy to. And as Alex was explaining, that each and every one of the steps, whether it was something that he lost, something that, you know, uh was shifted, something that was thrown away, something that was taken from him, each and every one of these experienced experiences pushed him towards the next narrative, pushed him towards the next step, pushed him towards the next transition where he's eventually at the place where he is now, which is of course not the end. It's no more but the uh but the next uh uh door and path that he has to take towards his next eventual future. So each and every one of you uh has 100%, uh I think uh will of course uh influence and inspire somebody who's listening or watching. Cause I'm I got goosebumps. Like I keep wanting to ask questions, but you guys are just taking away all the fun from me uh from being a moderator. Like you guys are phenomenal. Um, and sure, you have a question? I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05 58:16

Yes. Uh so I'm gonna throw this out there because I I want to network and connect with this guy and everyone in this live. Um you guys are phenomenal people. Hearing your story today was actually really beautiful to me. Uh, I've been wanting to do this kind of stuff on Instagram, but it's been odd. People in my same field probably are competitive and they won't talk with me. And it's like these are other black fragrance brands, it's like, okay, why don't we ever talk and do things? You guys come from the same background as me. So even if like we we have a background element that we can all connect on. Uh, what I was gonna ask was what are your plans? Because I had this dream in my head, um, even though it's it's beyond the time to do it, that I would have been able to give this bottle of Yasuke to Chadwick Bozeman when they casted him as Yasuke.

SPEAKER_03 59:13

Oh man, I have wow.

SPEAKER_05 59:15

So and I want I want to give the bottle of it to his family members. Do you know any of them or have a way to make this dream happen?

SPEAKER_03 59:27

I don't so um I have a very interesting Chadwick Bozeman story.

SPEAKER_08 59:34

Um wait, hold on. Before you start, do any of us need a box of tissues?

SPEAKER_03 59:38

No, no, no, no. I mean, I don't I don't really think so. So I will say full disclosure, God rest the day, I've never met Chadwick Bozeman, but um I remember when Black Panther was coming out, fanning out all this other stuff. I uh loved, I like I loved, I loved what I got to see on the screen for the first time. So right when I was getting my feet with the celebrity pool, I did reach out to Marvel um to get, I wanted, um, I wanted like a Marvel actor on the show, in particular anyone from Black Panther. So I requested, I took their sheet and I requested everyone from makeup, everyone, everyone you can think of, I requested. There was this one lady who actually did the makeup for uh for Black Panther, and um I said, I would love to have you on the show or whatever. She couldn't do it because of time constraints. She actually did uh she was actually doing uh makeup and stuff for WandaVision. Well, I said, Well, if you ever have the time, could you reach out to Chadwick Bozeman and his camp? Could you not maybe now I'm starting to I'm starting to think about it now, but it's starting to get to me now. I think maybe a couple days later is when we saw that video of Chadwick promoting something and we see that his face like I'm thinking the dude is losing weight. We don't know what his situation is, and I never never forget people shaming him.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:59

I I thought he was training, man. I really did.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:02

Me too. And then when he died, I never forget when he died, I did a live stream, I cried. And then that I cried, and then um I think somebody from his camp um reached out to uh reached out to me and someone else. They saw the live stream, they were very appreciative of it, and of it, and um, they were just basically, you know, um they were they're basically they were basically uh just you know very very remorseful about everything. And his camp came to Orlando, and this is where they put the uh the mirror of Chadwick Bozeman doing the Walkana Forever with a black kid. They did it in Orlando in LA, and I got to meet the people who knew him. They weren't a part of his camp per se, but they knew uh his family and stuff. And I said, listen, I gave him my business card. I said I would love to have his wife or someone of his camp on the show because he has a brother as well. Um, the phone number he gave me is no longer working, unfortunately. I still have the email. Um, but uh I don't know, I can't I can't honestly say where his where his wife is in the middle of all this. Um, and honestly, I'm one of those people where I don't want to like crowd her. But I will say this um I can definitely reach out to that that email he gave me, but I honestly don't know if that's something that they still use. But it's funny, funny, because after all of that, one of my homegirls, someone I'm close with now, she bought me a uh a black pan, a frame Black Panther poster with Chavik Bozeman's autograph on it. And like I got the certificate of authenticity, started crying and every all this other stuff. And I sent a photo to that same email saying, hey, um this will always be here, and um he will his his memory will always live through me and anyone else who who who he's inspired. But uh it's funny that you say that because I've been trying to get his wife or somebody from his camp on the show just you know, voicing their story. So I mean, if I if I get your contact information and I'm able to uh get that at some point, I would definitely pass along that information.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:18

It it's it's like uh because with my brand, I have this idea because it happened with me in Mongolia when I connected with everyone from there. You know, I love reading. When I was 12, I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is a 4,000-page book about Chinese history. I also started reading about Genghis Khan and I read their history at a young age too. So adults from their country are looking at me like, how do you know everything about our country? And I don't even know all this yet. And so it was like, you know, for me, those things had moved my heart so much that it was like I wanted to get to meet the ancestors of Genghis or talk to like these are his children's children's children. I want to get to know you guys, I want to talk with you guys. He really inspired me. And so it was like I I love talking to them, and whenever I make my fragrance Genghis, I want to be able to give bottles of it to some of the people that I met along the way. That way I can in my head feel like I have given back to this culture. Unlike what companies do nowadays or like what they've done to us in history, where they take from a culture and they never give back, you know, like you're representing this culture and your branding. I wonder how the people from that country feel, though. You know, so like with Yasuke, obviously that's Japan and China. Uh, and there's a place that has a statue of Yasuke today, and there's also the church that I think he was supposed to be bodyguarding before he became like recruited in their army. I think that may still be there. So I'd love to give a bottle there, but no one knows exactly where he started. What I do know is they were gonna be casting Chadwick as Yasuke. Yeah, yeah. And I would love to do that. In fact, I have another one called Ianari in my brand, and Ianari's great-great-great-great-grandfather fought as an ally of Yasuke. Um, Ianari's great-great-great-great-grandson is alive right now, and his son is alive. Like the great-great-great-grandson's probably 85, and his son is like 30, 40-ish, somewhere around there. And I can't get in touch with him either. I want them to have a bottle of this thing that I made. You know? Yeah. So if I can ever make that mission completed in my heart and soul, I feel like, you know, as an artist, you know, if the person that voice acted static shock saw your all your videos and left a comment, that feeling is completion.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:48

By the way, he's read some of my my my emails and messages. Come on, Phil, come on the show, stop being crazy. Like, bruh, like you know, like no, like. Like when I started to get some clout, I reached out to him like, bruh, like, come on, man. Like, you know, and I met him. It's funny, I met him at MegaCon, gave him my information. Bro, like, where you been at? Like, like, I know you ain't working that much. Come on, man. But okay. If you're watching this, please come on the show. Yes. But thank you guys for having me on.
