I make some horror features, but I also score them. I think your music is fantastic. You can hear/see some my work on this TRAILER. I think DirectorRik has a horror film coming up.

Especially music. You will see many posts where musicians offer their work for free, just so they can build up their resume. I see a lot of projects where actors "pay to play," sometimes $1000 or more, in order to get a speaking part. They are also building up their resume, reel, etc. Until...

Really good! I like your blend of sound FX, orchestral, and otherworldly synth drones. Nice use of pitch shifts.

That's awesome. You did a great job. I've done the same with my wife, where it was just us two. This one is my favorite: THE CONTINGENCY PLAN I would definitely be interested!

Yes, it's an interesting list, but has a lot of weak movies are on it. It's lacking many of my favorites, such as DEAD ALIVE, CREEPSHOW, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, THE HOWLING, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, THE HITCHER, JURASSIC PARK, THE WOLFMAN, KING KONG, FRIGHT NIGHT, DRAG ME TO HELL, VIDEODROME...

That was a solid first effort. The opening track shot was nice, as were all the shots, which were very smooth and stable, except for the outside, slightly jerky, POV, which was quite appropriate. The sound and music were good. I like the lighting, which was not too forced. Nice animation at...

I like that you are reaching, sonically overall.

Well, you're not going to like my taste. JASON X and JASON GOES TO HELL were my favorites, because they actually did something different. :clap: :clap: In the HELL movie, Jason jumps from body to body, killing scores of people. It reminded me of one of my favorite movies, THE HIDDEN! In...

I had a lot of fun in Tucson, in the 80's & 90's. That's where I shot THE BLACK CRYSTAL. Also, the waterfalls were incredible, after monsoons and during snow melt. This is me being stupid out at Tanque Verde Falls.

Ha ha! They might have to change some of the names. Dr. Goodhead can stay, but I'm sure they can come up with alternates to Pussy Galore and Smallbone. Octopussy would have to be Octo.... Oh, nevermind!

Just got this book from Amazon, today. It's about 90's trash horror cinema. My movie, THE BLACK CRYSTAL, made the front cover (Lily Santoro looking at the crystal - top, center). I've mentioned the movie a few times, but never made a thread about it. I'll put pertinent info here. I'm...

My advice is to save up a few thousand dollars. Enough to support yourself for a few months. I would suggest moving to a film epicenter, like Los Angeles, New York, Albuquerque, Atlanta, New Orleans, Austin, or even Richmond. If you have family or friends in some of these areas, that will...

Film has a great look, but I haven't shot with it in 20 years. I have shot 6 features, most on different formats. Though Youtube compression on older videos is harsh, you can compare some looks. Just click on one of the titles: THE BLACK CRYSTAL Shot on Super 8mm (Canon 1014, Sankyo XL620)...

It was actually recorded in the 90s so when I say old, it was old!😄

Nate, try not to over think it too much. I just wanted to get an idea of what you were talking about. Here's an old example of mine, where the pace becomes really slow, then builds: CHOPPER Snip

Can you post it? I would be interested in hearing that. I agree with most of what you said.

Yes, the crunchiness is in the background, but it works. When I think of crunchy, I think of drums run through some overdrive distortion, and synth sounds using filter saturation and distortion, like an Access Virus.

Sorry, man. I'm hoping you get some settlements and assistance out of this. I've been running out of space, so I actually trashed those mags, which I had been collecting since the 80's - Keyboard, Electronic Musician, Future Music, Sound On Sound, a few of the Mix and Recording mags...

There's very little shredder (frantic guitar) music that I like, but I really enjoyed "The End Of Conqueror!" Solid!

Bass drum is a bit clunky and repetitive for my taste, but I like the build from 27 seconds on up to 1:05.
