Catwoman: Principles




One of the earliest Blinky Productions fan films was Catwoman: Principles released way back in 2006. The short was the premiere of Niki (Notarile) Rubin portraying the character of…well…who else…Catwoman.

Bored with her trophies of stolen riches, Selina Kyle decides to take a girl’s night out and go on the prowl as Catwoman. She spies a luxrious penthouse and decides to go windo shopping. Unfortunately, as Catwoman makes her rounds, she is quickly dissapointed to find out that three thugs have broken in to the same apartment and are now tearing it to shreds as they loot it. Enraged by their blatent dissrespect for the art of cat burglarly, Catwoman decides to teach them a lesson. A painful one at that.

The story and locations are rather simple. Selina Kyle is bored. Selina Kyle goes out of the prowl. Selina Kyle comes across a bunch of thugs. Selina Kyle kicks their ass.

This fan film looked like it was filmed in a couple apartments or perhaps the same apartment used as separate locations. The fight scene is a bit weak. Considering this production was filmed over a decade ago it doesn’t look bad. And we all know how quickly technology changes in this day and age. It changes at the turn of a dime. There are some strange editing choices, but you can only work with the footage that was shot.

You also have to think when this fan film came out fan films were few and far between. Notarlie was in the forefront in this niche form of entertainment.

Notarlie has done a lot of these things. Not all of them have been posted on the Fan Film Follies site so if you’re interested in his later works I would hit YouTube and do yourself a search. I’m sure there is something there that you would enjoy.
