Fire Effect Fail

Thought I'd try out some alternatives to After Effects, so I downloaded Wax 2.0. It's basically a particle generator, so I was able to make some cheesy fire effects. I threw this video together in under an hour. It's possibly a spin-off of 'The Mardi Gras Massacre' except it's featuring Super Fluous as the main hero instead of Cockatoo Kid. The reason we wouldn't really be making 'The Masquerade Massacre' is because Brayden and I are planning on redoing the entire Super Fluous & Cockatoo Kid series as a single film featuring both characters equally. But, this was fun to make, and it introduced Super Fluous' nemesis, Mask-er-Raid.

This Project is a Beach

We're doing a one-shot project in my Modes of Film Production class. Along with my partner, Austin, we have to make a one minute single shot film. Doesn't sound too difficult. Except on the day we had to pitch our idea, we weren't entirely sure about what we wanted to do, so we improved the pitch and now I have to someone put a beach in my living room. Tomorrow morning we'll be putting together the beach set and shooting the partially improved film. This should be fun!

Some of you may be wondering what to get me for my birthday that is coming up. I know that I don't have to remind you that it is October 6th. Having you as a loyal reader is all the presents I'll ever need to make my 20th birthday special. I couldn't possibly accept anything from my Amazon Wish List.

This weekend I'd like to work on 'Welkin's Gate'. Not making much progress, but I have it mostly thought out.

Vimeo

It seems like the majority of people in my film class use Vimeo instead of YouTube, so I decided to make my own profile. I plan on using it to post portfolio worthy work only. In other words, my "for fun" films are out. Here is the link!
