Full Noon, Update 1

Preproduction is underway on Full Noon, a comedy/horror feature film written by myself, my girlfriend Felicity, and her two friends Leota and Ashley.  I'll also be directing, while my co-writers will star.  We've got a script, we've got a budget, and God willing, we'll have a movie this summer.

We're currently in the early stages of securing funding.  A grant/pitch contest didn't pan out, so it looks like Kickstarter is in our future.  Until that happens, I'm going through and storyboarding the film, which is what a responsible director does anyway...

Be on the lookout for future updates, including our fundraising demo and trailer.

Basement

I've returned to film.  Following the disaster that was Compulsively Yours and my disillusionment following film school, I've started to make movies again.  First was the short Mint In Box.  Next is the feature Full Noon.  But right now is Basement, a film my writing partner/girlfriend Felicity Hull and I developed for the Project Greenlight Reel Fear contest.  While creating the pitch video to submit to the Project, I made a few concept drawings to illustrate some of the visuals we envisioned, as well as a creature design modified from an unproduced animation project that I did some concept work for.  Please enjoy!

Captain America!

I'm a big fan of the stealth costume from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but I wondered what it would look like in classic colors.  I plan on making this into an action figure, but for now I did a quick mock-up, using a picture stolen from John Mallamas' toy review blog, Jin Saotome's Five Minute Toy Review.  Check it out; its a cool blog.  And be on the lookout for pics of the custom, coming (hopefully) soon.

The Beast From The Sea

See that second picture?  I found that on 9gag, and thought it was cool.  So it and maybe ten other pictures went into making the above.  The beast from the sea!

Six Books, Six Films

I hated the Lord of The Rings films.  I'm sorry, I did.  Out of the six books making up the series, they adapted five.  Guess which one they left out?  The last one, the climax of the series, the one where all the important stuff happened.  So when Cracked.com opened up a contest to make book-accurate posters for film adaptations, I churned this out, using stills from various films as well as pictures of Weta Workshop statues.  I didn't get this poster submitted in time, but I still think it works as a good portfolio piece.

Expanding the Batman Universe

After finishing up the Batman seen below, I decided to add in some more characters.  First up is Two Face, also played by Ben Affleck (why not?).  Made up of two different pictures of BA for the base- face, then three or four pictures and procedural generations for the burns.  Next up is Deathstroke the Terminator.  This wasn't planned, but when I saw a picture of the new Taiwanese special forces uniform, I new I had to make this.  I'm also about half-way through a Poison Ivey (Hilary Swank), but it probably won't be finished...

The Batman Of The Future...

     So... Ben Affleck is Batman.  And now the question is: Will he look good as Batman?  Well, I took a photo of Affleck as Daredevil into Photoshop to find out.  The original image is below:
