Adventure of the Tombs

Adventure of the Tombs was originally "Gates of Troy" but I wanted it to be in Egypt, so I had to make up "Adventure of the Tombs" instead. There are no tombs in Adventure of the Tombs. There is a lot of dust, though. There is a dragon, who likes fire. (Which is really just another excuse to throw dust all around.) And many other things. The movie ends when the two playmobile charicters decide to live the rest of their lives in flowerpots.

The Architect

The Architect was going to be about an architect who drew out a plan of the house she was going to build, and then it would spring to life, and there would be the house. It didn't have enough plot, so I didn't make it.

Animated House!!

Animated House is finished!!!

With a really terrible ending.

Well, thats great news.

The bad news is,

it is 4 minutes long.

I mean, I knew I make short movies... BUT THAT SHORT???

Maybe I should be a lawyer when I grow up, and call this blog, "Recycled Lawyers"

That sounds bright and cheery.

Making Documentaries

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I was in Hartford, Connecticut. This post is about why I don't make documentaries.

The Answer is: I do. All my making ofs are documentaries. But here's the real thing. I don't like making documentaries, making-of or not. I like to make fantasy and adventure movies. Documentaries are not about dragons, girls that get lost in mazes, earthquakes, phantoms, headless ghosts, and aliens from mars.

I can't make a documentary and I usually can't sit through a documentary.

That is why I haven't made one yet.    

Phantom

Sorry for not posting on Monday. I forgot. Phantom is one of the really lunatic movies I made that has no meaning.

Phantom is about... ...A phantom. I was inspired by lots of ghost movies. Frankly, I didn't look like a ghost at all in Phantom, even though I moaned a couple hundred times. Yeesh. Right now Phantom is using up space on this computer's disk drive. I don't know why I don't just delete it. I should. The image above is not really scratched up. I put a gazillion effects on it to make it look old. I won't make the rest of Phantom. definitely.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms

Alright, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms is not my movie. But it is a movie I saw last night.

I was wondering: What is a fathom? Well, a fathom, it seems, is 72 inches, or two yards.

20,000 times 2 = 40,000. The Beast From 40,000 yards???

It doesn't really make any sense. Especially when the "beast" is found in the North Pole, in an iceberg. Not exactly 40,000 yards deep below the surface. It is a little bit weird.

The W.M.Thing Catalog

The W.M.Thing catalog is kind of a joke. The Librarian (pictured here) is done entirely in Cheetah3d. You wouldn't be able to buy her even if you wanted to. The "bronze" statue was simply taken from the model for "The Chef" and colored bronze-gold.
