A trilogy of Skulls

I am making a trilogy of Skull films.
"Skullduggery" was the first one.
Here is the second one, "Skulls and Xbones." Just finished.

The third one will be, "A choir of Skulls."

Re: BIAFF 2024 - yes or no?

A BIAFF judge recently told me that they must judge a film on a first viewing only. I recall many great professional films of the past that had a poor response from critics at the time of first presentation, but in later years were deemed to be great classics after years of renewed viewing by the Wo...

Re: Getting an audience

Hurrah! - not to mention the one which played a supporting role in commercial cinemas ! There was some controversy about 'that' 2 1/2 minute film, as you know. But imagine you have just made the very first film of its type (pun intended) whilst struggling to buy your first house. After winning a Te...

Getting an audience

I have found a way of increasing my viewing figures, even for a single star won on BIAFF. The local village and surrounding villages are on Facebook. Even some streets have a Facebook page. My Halloween 40 second video joke gained a single star, so chances of any audience at all in any competition w...

I doubt if Dave Watterson has seen "Hubertus".
If it were put on YouTube both Dave and all of us could view it.

Re: A bit of Halloween type

Having been fortunate over the years in be awarded many top awards and with my sense of fun I thought it time to try and get a lowly single star . So I entered this 40 seconds of nonsense, "Skullduggery" made for Halloween and which took but a few hours to cobble together....... I got my s...

We all, In a marriage, one partner will be left alone. More so if they have no
children or relations.
Very sorry to hear about your wife Geof. My wife, Joan, died 5 years ago. Dementia.
It's hard at times on my own, but I try to keep 'animated' :-)

Re: Competition sections

You're catching up on me fast Michael, if you're 89. You must keep those juices flowing......don't listen to modern . so called, music and dump the TV, both destroyers of the creative mind. and the drying up of juices. I've just started on a very complex animated sound sync film to make. Using skull...

Re: Competition sections

It would be very interesting to see how many film
makers are actually over 90.
Any others here?

Competition sections

Most festivals and competitions have a section for junior film makers.
Why not a senior section?
I mean really senior. "Over ninety."

In that manner I will get less competition, if any :-)

Re: Judging-FVM June

I am working on an X cert animated film using solely the Greek symbols for male and female. I shall put a warning notice at the start, that this film contains images of a sexual nature ! In view of the discussion on judges maybe a notice too that it should only be judged by randy people ! :-) It wil...

Re: Judging-FVM June

Albert Noble, for the record your clever animation film FOR TWO PINS went down very well with the audience this evening at the Wolverhampton Film Festival! It’s a very good film. Thanks for that Howard. Interestingly, other judges in other festivals this year thought differently. As I said, it's la...
