Revenge of the Tower Bots

Towerbots

Hiyahh!!

Here’s a cool interview by Kirsten Nelson of Rogue Cinema about the Killer Robots new movie:

Aside from that, still at work on the new KR movie. Currently in the middle of tons of rotoscoping for Strobo’s footage. His legs keep disappearing so there’s been quite a bit of layering and patching.

Also making quite a bit of headway with miniatures. Having built the majority of required models, they’re currently scattered all over the house awaiting paint jobs and filming. Yesterday I was able to shot some footage of the Towerbots – 3 story tall machines built to annihilate unwelcome visitors to the planet Vidya. Now working up the motivation to film some Galaxon battle-cruiser shots.

Two years and counting…

As of today we’ve been in production on the Killer Robots Next Movie for a little over 2 years and it looks like we may have another year to go.

Once this movie is finished I hope to produce at least 3 movies per year and make a career of it.  I think with a smaller cast and scope it can be done.  I look forward to telling stories of mutants, supernatural forces and other fantastic myths that folks find that they identify with.

Despite the long hours in making the Killer Robots movie, I’ve been enjoying the process.  The slow pace has allowed me to experiment with old school special effects, costuming and modelmaking.  Plus I get to work with a variety of talented actors and artists.

Is it worth it? Yes!
