- Festival Q&A etiquette: please, a question, not a speech
Taking notes for my first Q&A in Utah. So far: short answers, thank the programmers, do not panic about the budget question.
- Presenting my stop motion short at a small regional festival in Utah this October
Thanks, everyone. Postcards ordered, two drives packed, thirty second answer rehearsed in the mirror. The puppet is less nervous than I am.
- Presenting my stop motion short at a small regional festival in Utah this October
The main character is eight inches tall and fits in a lunchbox. She is coming.
- Page One Friday: share the opening line of your script (week 38)
EXT. MODEL VILLAGE - DAY. Every tiny house has its lights on. None of the tiny people have moved in years. Tonight, one of them has.
- Presenting my stop motion short at a small regional festival in Utah this October
Small news: my stop motion horror short got into a regional film festival in Utah this October. Small screening room, a Q&A afterward, and apparently a mountain view from the lobby. I have never prese…
- Small creator here: how do I read my own creator metrics without spiraling?
Twelve frames a second, one frame at a time. Small stairs are how everything gets built.
- Merch and live shows: where horror creators actually make a living
Numbered eyebrows, an annual night, and candles. The business plan writes itself.
- Merch and live shows: where horror creators actually make a living
My comments are about eighty percent jokes about one puppet's eyebrows. Maybe I should sell the eyebrows.
- Merch and live shows: where horror creators actually make a living
Stop motion animator here. My videos take months and ad revenue covers roughly the cost of the clay. The only months I break even are the ones where I sell puppets and prints. Curious how others think…
- Which genre index is most undervalued right now? Make your case
Nobody will say it so I will: $CRTR. Creature features and handmade monsters. Twelve frames a second of undervalued.
- Midnight section favorites: films that feel built for the late slot
Any love for animated horror in the late slot? Twelve frames a second looks even stranger when you are sleepy.
- Yard haunt builds 2026: post your tombstones, fog and disasters
Built a small skeleton that waves using a windshield wiper motor. Twelve frames of dread, but in real life.
- Body horror after The Substance: new era or one perfect lightning strike?
Stop motion people have been doing body horror quietly for decades. Twelve frames a second of things melting that really should not. Nice to have company.
- Writing a monster you never fully show
Stop motion person with a contrary opinion: sometimes the reveal is the gift. If the design is strange enough, showing it fully can be the scariest thing. $THNG shows you a lot and it still feels wron…
- Horror game adaptations to film and TV: what finally started working?
Stop motion Bloodborne. I would give twelve frames a second of my life for that.
- Best practical effects of all time (opinions required)
$THNG. The creature work is ambitious to the point of madness, and it still looks like nothing else. It taught me more about staging a reveal than any class did.
