Ode to Monsterland

"There once was a spider, he was driving a car;
to go see his grandma, who lived off afar.
Then who should snatch him, but a giant hand;
and take him straight to Monsterland!
The spider couldn't make it, and fell in the sand.
The monster weeped,
And then it sleeped,
But in the morning, there was Monsterland!!!"

I know. Not one of my best poems.
But what it says is true in the movie Monsterland.
The spider does go to see his grandma and a monster snatches him away, then they find Monsterland, the spider escapes, and shows up at grandma's just in time for dinner.

Prince Caspian



Yesterday we went to see the second Narnia movie. Prince Caspian.
I liked it, and I thought it was less scary then the first. It has already made a lot of money, and Andrew as director will certainly live on until The Last Battle, where Narnia is distroyed, and the only way out is the way through which you came.

Little Shop of Horrors is DONE!!!

Finally, LSOH is off my back. Now I can sit back and relax. Not for long, though! I have a kabillion movies to finish and this is just one of them. (Though it is nice to get it out of my way).

This is the coolest test for the blurry effect used in Cheetah, 3D. Isn't it amazing???
My very special Cyclops in his room.
Unbelievable!!! 
You can hardly tell none of it exists.

Cinderella

Cinderella is about... Well, Cinderella. Except that my sister plays Cinderella. I submitted Cinderella to a film festival and it wasn't shown. This time I'm going to give them Director Snag It. Pictured here are the glass slippers. Cinderella was filmed at christmas time, hence, the blue lights seen in every scene.

the Story of W.M.Thing

This post isn't really here to give you any kind of background.
It's here to remind me of how W.M.Thing came to be.
I was doing a test. I was drawing rainbow letters for fun.
You know, orange overlapping into red, red to purple, purple to blue, blue to violet, violet to orange, etc.
I wanted my drawing to have one very long word. I didn't know any very long words.
The longest word I could spell was "Thing" and "Thing" wasn't long enough for all those colors.
So I put two letters in front of "Thing" to make it longer. "W. M. Thing" was a long enough word for me to be able to draw rainbow colors on. "W. M. Thing" would have never become a film company if my father hadn't walked into the room. "W. M. Thing," he said thoughtfully, "Is that a movie company?," I thought that "W. M. Thing" was a perfect name for a movie company.
So I lied through my teeth and said "Yes it is! There is also 'Artificial Black!'"
I said, making up another company on the fly.
It took a month or so to say that W.M.Thing made all the serious, normal, movies, and Artificial Black made the funny movies. I haven't made an Artificial Black movie in a good, long time.

Chess


This is an experiment I did. I got into chess very much and so I made a little movie about the chess pieces. (By the way, sorry about not posting. I was caught up in other things). This chess game has me shouting out "Let's Play!" and "Harry, you won!" as Ron in my hideous British accent. I have to improve that.
