Presented by Eli Roth. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4472723 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4472723 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:32:00 EST In this tutorial I will show you how to do some simple, yet awesome, color correction using the tools supplied in After Effects. Color correction is a very important thing when it comes to filmmaking and while there are numerous tutorials online, they generally discuss using third party plugins like Colorista. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4399524 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4399524 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:06:00 EST I explain why Paranormal Activity's ending didn't work for me and what I learned about filmmaking. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4392484 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4392484 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:02:00 EST A quick update on what's been happening at PRETTY PEOPLE PICTURES. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4308588 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4308588 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:33:00 EST More good news! THE GATEKEEPER has officially been selected into the 2009 Horror UK 28 Hours Later film festival. That means THE GATEKEEPER is two for two on the submission front. We couldn't be happier. This will be the European premiere of the film which is super exciting to say. I've checked out some of the films being shown and they all look pretty awesome. The festival will be on October 30 and Halloween. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4169590 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4169590 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:24:00 EST THE GATEKEEPER has been accepted to the CHICAGO HORROR FILM FESTIVAL! http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4056592 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=4056592 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 02:39:00 EST BELOW THE BASEMENT is now online for you to watch and download! http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3990438 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3990438 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 03:26:00 EST Let’s face it, our current time period in film history will not be known for its originality. Remakes, reboots, sequels and prequels have dominated the beginning of the 21st century. One man has chosen to skip this period in film history altogether. He has embarked on a quest so epic, it could only be rivaled by one of his films. This man is James Cameron and he is trying to save us all. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3970418 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3970418 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 02:36:00 EST WOW! It’s been a super long time since I’ve updated the website in any form, let alone the NEWS section. I figured I would give you guys a summer update on what’s happening in the Pretty People Pictures camp. I’ll keep it short and sweet, with numbers. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3893258 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3893258 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 14:48:00 EST Going into TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, I really wasn’t expecting much. Or should I say I was expecting exactly what I got: A stupid 2.5+ hour movie containing a hell of a lot of robots making noise and Shia LeBouf and Megan Fox running around for…well…no one really knows. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3796022 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3796022 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:17:00 EST In my FIRST EVER video tutorial, I'll be showing you how to create a UFO in Cinema 4D. I learned how to make this UFO while working on post production for THE INSURGENTS. This is the same technique I used in the final trailer which can be seen at PrettyPeoplePictures.com/Insurgents. In this tutorial I'll show you how to create a basic textured disc shape and then drop it into an Array Object where you can create an epic looking UFO. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3780280 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3780280 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 02:01:00 EST Read my review and watch the entire season of Crackle.com's ANGEL OF DEATH. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3751220 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3751220 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:54:00 EST Either this week or next week, I am going to do something I have always wanted to do...a TUTORIAL! 90% of my filmmaking education has come from free online tutorials. They have literally been invaluable to me and I have always wanted to pay it forward. So I'm gonna start out with a bang. I'm gonna show you how to create your own UFO (as seen in THE INSURGENTS) using Cinema 4D. The tutorial will be a video tutorial for you to download and follow along. Should be very fun. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3695531 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3695531 Sun, 31 May 2009 19:05:00 EST Check out the Mini Site for THE INSURGENTS! http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3669894 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3669894 Mon, 25 May 2009 18:17:00 EST Check out the Mini Site for THE INSURGENTS!

If I like doing it, I'll keep doing it. Hopefully they will get some better production values and a way of embedding it on the site in the future ;-) http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3421333 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3421333 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 21:48:00 EST My future project is no more... http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3417333 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3417333 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:25:00 EST I have some very exciting news to announce...THE INSURGENTS! http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3406159 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3406159 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:20:00 EST Jimmy Weber's review of the new Friday the 13th. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3402753 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3402753 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 19:47:00 EST I made a list of my Top Ten Action Heroes...check it out and let me know what you think. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3355478 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3355478 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:55:00 EST Looking back, 2008 was a pretty incredible year for movies. However, when the Academy Awards nominations were announced last month, I couldn't help but think, "Ehh...I'm not too impressed." I'm a HUGE fan of the Academy Awards so I don't want to come off as a dude who only watches genre flicks, but the "top" movies of last year weren't very exciting. I cried my little eyes out at the end of Benjamin Button, but I will only rewatch it if it happens to be on television. As much as I love Danny Boyle, I HATED Slumdog Millionaire and hope to NEVER see it again. This usually isn't the case when I don't like a Best Picture winner. I was not a fan of The Departed what-so-ever but I have seen that movie at least ten times. I HATED the end of No Country for Old Men, so I've watched the first 90 minutes a number of times. To get to the point, I have made a list of my five favorite movies of the year. I realize the Academy hasn't recognized any of them as the best films of the year, but for my money, you couldn't get any better than the masterpieces below. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3351126 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3351126 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 04:21:00 EST After watching Taken, I couldn't help but think, "Why in the hell don't they make more movies like this?" This movie is so awesome! It's really hard to explain to people how good it is. The storyline is simple enough to fit the mold of an action film, but unique enough to keep you interested. The direction is "frenchy" enough to be interesting, but not too much of a departure from a popcorn flick. The action is jumpy and quick, but not nauseating like the Bourne series. But most importantly, the ship is lead by an Oscar winner who treats this cheesy action film the same way he would Schindler's List. The film's premise is simple, "Liem Neeson as an ass kicker." And you know what? That's all it needs. So this lead to my original question, "Why don't they make more movies like this?" While they are few and far between, there are some out there. So besides Taken, here are three of my favorite ass kicking movies. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3318598 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3318598 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 16:05:00 EST Find out the horrors of Star Wars, Machete, and Final Destination 4. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3289614 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3289614 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:23:00 EST Check out the totally rad poster for THE GATEKEEPER. It took me about seven hours to draw up this bad boy, color it, design it, and texturize it. I love it soooo much and feel that I finally lived up to the CAR COMING! poster. If you want to see a high quality version of THE GATEKEEPER poster, click here and check it out. I'm also gonna be printing some up, so if you want one, let me know. This art isn't just for the poster, you know? It may have something to do with the movie....just saying ;-) To see the poster art, visit PrettyPeoplePictures.com http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3289610 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3289610 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:21:00 EST
