Thanks, guys!

I animated a 30 second piece for the 2007 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. I won't be attending this year, but I'll be represented by this piece, which will most likely play before a screening or two. The morph animation was done pen and ink. The room construction and camera moves were done in...

Free at last! Free at last! I guess I'm just a cheap bastard, 'cause I've been away for a while.

Okay, I've fixed my .htaccess file, so all links from indietalk should work now. Let me know if anyone has any problems!

Hey all! Sorry about the bad link. I think I accidentally blocked the indietalk ip as a referrer. I'm working on trying to fix it. In the meantime, just type maddogmovies.com into your browser and then click on the Horror Database link. Anyway, I've made a bunch of new updates in the last week.

What I've found is that I'm quite passive in brainstorming sessions. Others have bold ideas that they're trying to get out, and I write 'em down. I don't usually come up with new content myself until I'm in the act of writing. Then there's that scary moment when I deliver what I've written...

I just want to vent for a moment about group writing. I'm working with a director on writing a short script. In the past, I've critiqued his writing, and I see this new project as a challenge -- an opportunity to collaborate. This director has great cinematic ideas, but they don't always come...

I thought I heard recently that UMD will soon be dropped. It's not making the money they thought it would. Turns out people just want to play video games on their Sony units.

Now that the Halloween season is over, I went ahead and updated as much as I could for events in the next several months. Visit the site at http://maddogmovies.com/blog/horror.php Including info on the following events: B-Movie Film Fest Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film...

Our subway DVD is finally off to the replicators! Several months of DVD authoring has paid off -- I think history buffs and rail fans will really dig our product. It's a specialty item, but we've been getting emails and phone calls from folks around the country since we first announced the...

Has anyone here gone through the procedure of filing papers with the NY Securities Exchange Commission? A company I'm working with wants to approach investors legitimately for feature projects. To do so requires a 30 page document that most lawyers tell us will cost 10 grand to prepare. We'd...

If you love cult movies, this documentary is for you. Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream pays tribute to an era of moviegoing that was unlike anything before or since. This documentary is a great ride, giving the viewer an in-depth slice of American film history. Read my...

Interesting. Will it work if you change the suffix to mp4? And yes, I just found out that you can export from QT as mp4. But if you say it looks awful, that's too bad. I guess I should take a look at Virtualdub, too. That's my take on it, too. I don't think Google is asking too much...

It's this section of the Google FAQ (at https://upload.video.google.com/video_faq.html) that has me scratching my head: I'm confused by this. How do I make an MPEG4 file? I thought MPEG4 was just a codec used in Quicktime and DIVX files. Is there a way of making a file that has MPEG4 or MP4 as...

More updates to the database! I've added the Google Maps function to each page. (Check to see how far you have to drive for the next event!) I've added info on the following events: Eyescream Short Film Festival - Australia's only (?) horror fest Carnivale of Horror 2006 MiskatoniCON -...

We have a cable station interested in airing several of our cartoon shorts. They're not huge, only available in one market, but it's a big metropolitan market. In the past, when we've had offers, it's usually for no money or they set the terms. This broadcaster is asking what we charge...

Hey there... I took a look at your Return to the Woods pages on your site. Looks fun! I'll have to download it at work tomorrow and check it out. (40 mb would be tough for my dial-up at home.)
