Yes, we love us some frankfurters! But we’re not talking about those delightful sausage and buns conveniently shaped to fit in the palm of your hand. We’re dishin’ about the mega awesome I Love Hot Dogs blog. Capturing the quintessential stills of a motion picture, Shannon Maldonado, pares countless movies down into an easily digestible story. Within the swift scroll of your mouse, you can flip through a catalogue of French New Wave films to Gen X classics like Up In Smoke and The Warriors. Do yourself a favor and peep it!

California To Film Industry – “Come back baby, I promise it’ll be different this time.”
Posted in: movies, news, vfx, visual effects
Seems that the Golden State has finally wised up and started offering some of the same tax credits other states and countries have given up to movies and tv shows for years. The deal is that Cali will give back 20% of below the line costs capped at a $500 million dollar payout over the next five years. The tax credit also does not extend to films with a budget over $75 million (you heard me Stretch Armstrong:The Movie).
That sounds like a lot until you look at all the other tax credit schemes out there. According to the L.A. Times…
New Mexico offers a 25% rebate on production costs and does not have a cap. Neither does Michigan, where filmmakers get up to 42 cents back for each dollar they spend on filming.
So the question will be, which of the Hollywood glitterati is going to volunteer to spend 4 months of their lives eating Chile Con Carne in Albuquerque over the Pan-Roasted Organic Chicken With Oregon Morel Mushrooms at Spago to save the studios a measly 5%. I guess time will tell

Alien Grey: Zone – X : You Have To See It To Believe It
Posted in: 3d, filmmaking, funny, movies, vfx, visual effectsSo, if I had recently escaped an exploding toy plane, the force of which failed to even muss someone’s hair, and was being stalked by a madman. I still would not go past the sign that told me I was entering an area inhibited by lethal Alien Grey’s. Alas, this is the case with the poor hapless souls trapped in the “film” Alien Grey:Zone-X. There are plenty of things to like about this trailer. A dude fighting a mech-spider with some sort of mop that deflects laser beams. Aliens that can’t seem to stop floating around people and bothering them to death. Oh, don’t forget the Alien’s greatest ally, the T-Rex. This flick is gonna be great!
