EXT. FARM – NIGHT

John emerges from the eerie woods behind him, running for his life, his right arm stained in blood. The fast footsteps echo through the dead grass around him.

Frantically and gasping he searches the surroundings for something to hide. After mere seconds his eyes are glued on a shallowly lit barn which best days are long past.

As some sort of follow up to my post from yesterday I (again) more and more respect those guys working on 3D animation. Not as a hobby but as a full time worker each day, each week.

Is yellow a nice color for horror movies? Or horror images? Did anyone ever try rose?

Do you know someone who cannot decide on something and stick with it? And do you know what’s worse than that? A company that does the exact same thing.

Why did you have to produce WALL•E? And why did you have to deliver such a wonderful result? And why did you have to release this movie just when I am about to create my own short movie about a small robot trying to fulfill its dreams?
