For those of you interested in jazzing up your promo material, scripts, and such, look no further than the link below. More to come as I can list them. http://smashortrashindiefilmmaking.com/?page_id=16

Visual Effects Artist Mitch Klein (from his great website TALES FROM THE CELLAR) goes into detail about the various effects he did for the vampire movie STAKES (Timewarp Films). It’s informative, there are a lot of stills and video segments to look over and learn from. The link to that is here.
He has also posted a How-To video on Vampire Disintegration effects. This is well detailed as he goes through the steps from start to finish in a video segment. The link to this article is here.
If you love vampire movies and science fiction, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of STAKES, a well-done, action-packed thriller by Timewarp Films. You can pick it up here.

Hey! Trying to do taxes and such this week, so this is a really light update. There was a recent horror convention that I helped at – Horrorfind 9. The charity Scares That Care were there and raised over $2,000 in charity for children with cancer. THAT is incredible! Also, things were busy around the Timewarp Films booth, as their brand-new 2 DVD set of DEAD HUNT was available to the public. Enjoy the pix!
