  • "The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives."

  • Happy Easter/Ostara

    2011-04-26 2:35 / 会员可以看

    The wise ones do not seek
    enlightenment,
    but self-fulfilment;
    And one day in that search
    with a smile, they
    will find themselves enlightened



    Have a wonderful Ostara!

    soooo...

    Here's a short and rather random teaser of the latest short I've been working on.

    http://www.youtube.com/user/jorishorror#p/a/u/0/S0i1L3Sbx1s

    This is just the raw footage with no more colour correction then upping the blacks for eerie and dramatic effect. The sole reason for this teaser to exist is the fact there were a lot of people most impatient to see some footage which resulted in this impromptu sequence.

    Maybe it's got to do with the music as well, but I get giddy every time I see it, knowing this is visually the least challenging / Interesting scene. Prepare for some unadulterated awesome soon!

    In the mean time, I'll give you some pics made by our reeled in volunteer Joris Van Hespen. And nice they are.

    Our first night was, as they ever are, the hardest one. Troubles with the sound equipment, with the smoke machine and so on but after a two hours delay we finally were ready to shoot our first shot:



    It's a horror movie with a whiff of mystery added to perfect the mix

    And I have to say, I really like how the images turned out





    Smoke just adds a whole new level of Doom and creepy... For this story, it was exactly what we needed.

    Of course, getting the smoke (from one machine) to cover a very large area consisted of our SFX guy running around the pond and me following behind with the lasto lite (and I know this sort of use isn't in the manual) to divide it a bit. You have to admit, I do look awesome, don't I :D



    Make-up effects! A spray of blood coming right up!



    Next night and next location: a lovely little shed. It looked almost romantic... despite the horrors... Did you know Belgian body-bags are white?



    Our poor lady.



    Top shot. And yes, it was nearly as awkward as it looks. Also... rickety table...



    Our Awesome camera man Stijn!


    Day three: Opening scene. The Tunnel.
    We've had to reshoot that entire day as we lost the footage due to techical problems. So these are merely a memory.





    The Director!!! Meet the wonderful Joris!


    On his director's chair...

  • Olden Golden I

    2010-10-25 6:01 / 会员可以看

    I recently found a gem in between my old VHS collection...
    I knew I still had it somewhere and having such fond memories about it, even though I didn't remember much about the movie itself, it was even better then I thought it could possibly be.

    "The Little Shop of Horrors"



    The story tells of Seymour Krelborn (Rick Moranis), a florist assistant, who finds a very strange but lucky plant that feeds on human blood and as long as the plant thrives, so will Seymour's life. But as the plant grows too big for him to feed, the plant suddenly asks the rather naive boy 'feed me'. And so Seymour does.

    Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcS5vg5O5pY&feature=related



    Despite my fears of it being terribly dated,  it charmed me beginning to end. The music was catchy and awesome, the characters endearing, amusing and scary (Steve Martin was gruesomely delightful as the sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello) and the overall mise-en-scene was well thought out and the animation of the plant was incredibly well done for 1986!

    A real must see if you haven't already!


    In the mean time...
    "FEED ME!"

  • Songs on Repeat

    2010-10-19 4:11 / 会员可以看

    Two songs that I recently discovered and have on repeat since then ;)

    I really hope you like them! I'm sharing my goosebumps even if it's not Halloween yet lol


    Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWj5g4V4QKg




    And also, much older but ever as good: Nina Simone's original Sinnerman


    Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn5tiuZU4JI



    I know they're both completely different, so they might not both appeal to you but I hope at least one of these gems made you smile...

    Marie, I'm sorry to hear that you're still encountering issues. We recently had a troublesome issue with spammy accounts generated from a computer on the same network as the one which you were surfing. Of course, this network can consist of millions of different users, but to temporarily safeguard our community, we went ahead and restricted access to certain parts of the site to this network. I've gone ahead and lowered the restrictions a little, so please try again and see if you are able to access the forums and private messaging.
