HP Lovecraft Flm Festival

Yea! My short-short animation is playing at the HP Lovecraft Film Festival.

This is the 2nd time I've screened there.

"Where Nightmares Feed" screened at the 2008 Festival.

Here's a link to their site.

Crazy Talk

Here's my latest trip into animation. The cat is mine. The voices are samples that come with Crazy Talk 6.



I like the display of emotions that come with this program. Who knows what I'll do after some tweaking...

Doomsday Catch Phrase

Sent off a shortened version of Doomsday Catch Phrase to H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. I included their logo in one of the shots, so I think they'll like it.

Won't hear back for a couple of months.

Post deadCENTER Thoughts

The deadCenter Film Festival is nearly over. Some features are playing this afternoon as well as the "Best of" short films from the festival.

Before one of the panels on Friday, I sat in the audience and could feel the electricity in the room. The film-making potential in the room was charged up.

It was like being one of the angels in Win Wender's Wings of Desire, listening to all the conversations and thoughts and desires from everyone in the room.

Powerful stuff.

Can we bottle potential? Can we spread it around so everyone benefits from it?

Some of the film-makers will never make a film. Some of the film-makers will stop after a couple of shorts or one-too-expensive-first-feature. Some will plug away because they can't stop. Some will keep going because those around them keep asking for more.

Some may never make a commercially successful film.

But in a room full of potential, you can't tell. All you feel is the power of electricity.

Here's a link to an Edmond Sun article about deadCenter Film Festival and me.

It was a good show last night. First time I screened Doomsday Catch Phrase in front of an audience. Must have been about 200 people. And they laughed at all the right moments!

Doomsday Catch Phrase

I got into deadCenter Film Festival. I've been in for all 10 years now!

Time to crank up the PR work.

new short animation

Finished another short animation last month.

"Doomsday Catch Phrase."

I've entered it in the deadCenter Film Festival but haven't heard from them yet.
I think if I edit it a little more, I can send it to the HP Lovecraft film festival.

It's kind of a horror-sci-fi story.
I think it's more sci-fi because it deals with black holes.
My wife thinks it's more horror because it ends with a skull.

Can't wait to get an audience reaction to it.
