Talk:Jason Jansen

A humble idea

Worth trying? -Derik 00:25, 12 October 2011 (EDT)

I'd say yes, except I'm not so sure about claiming we're trying to clear DVD rights. Perhaps we could be looking for an interview instead? --Tigerpaw28 01:57, 12 October 2011 (EDT)

Well yes, the phrasing needs to be tweaked. (We, for one thing, are arbiters of nothing DVD related.) And probably the layout.

Everyone talks about the power of social networks. I want to see if a couple hundred people 'share'ing something like this can track the guy down. -Derik 03:03, 12 October 2011 (EDT)

Re: the new trivia bit

So who has a region-free DVD player and way too much money? http://www.videoezy.com.au/TV/2c93e99e-06b8-458c-bf68-1d9416bcceed.aspx

Errr...

Don't know if it helps, or if it's just one of those crazy contrived coincidences, but there's a Jason Jensen that works on Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comics as a colorist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LioRC (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

He's been noticed, back when folks thought "Janson" was his last name. Not the same dude. --ItsWalky 13:47, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

Um, what?

I don't know if this is legit, but maybe... -- spyder^{Use this!} 21:48, 26 December 2012 (EST)

Any alternative links for those of us without Facebook? -Ookalf 21:59, 26 December 2012 (EST)

It's only a Facebook post, nothing else. Sorry. -- spyder^{Use this!} 22:46, 26 December 2012 (EST)

Walky said on The AllSpark that Jason Jansen has actually contacted Bluestreak07 and is going to do an interview, so it's no longer necessary to hunt for him. :) --abates 00:57, 27 December 2012 (EST)

So, should we take him off the Holy Grails? -- spyder^{Use this!} 11:04, 27 December 2012 (EST)

Interview

http://digestmybrain.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/tommy-kennedy-found-an-interview-with-jason-jansen/

There's my interview I did with Jason Jansen aka Jason Jankowski. I really don't have much time to cull out what's pertinent to the wiki right now so hopefully someone else can finish that. Bluestreak7 14:11, 4 January 2013 (EST)

THINGS OF NOTE FROM THE INTERVIEW

• "Jason Jansen" is a stage name, he's actually Jason Jankowski.
• The bits were shot at Silver Cup Studios in Queens, NY.
• It took no more than a week to shoot.
• There were two Optimus sets - a hand and a shoulder. The head took two puppeteers, one of whom may have worked on Sesame Street.
• He's basically just some dude from Middletown, NY, who did a TV shoot as a kid and ended up being quasi-stalked by obsessive robonerds twenty years later.
• No idea how old he is.

That's the pertinent info, IMO. -hx 14:42, 4 January 2013 (EST)

The Sesame Street guy was Marty Robinson. --abates 16:09, 4 January 2013 (EST)
