More on the WGA strike.

The wrong aspect ratios on DVDs and lying covers

This is one of my pet peeves these days and it really is very frustrating to people like me who give a damn. Lucky for me though it's only happened one time when I actually purchased a dvd and the other times where when I rented them. 

My Latest encounter unfortunately was with the Black Sheep Collectors edition, I don't want to single it out but it's the most recent example. Black Sheep is actually a double whammy, The Film was shot on Super 35 for the 2:35:1 aspect ratio which I loved and enjoyed in the film

. Then I go over to my friends place to watch his copy of the movie which is apparently the "Special edition" and despite the fact that it says 2:35:1 anamorphic wide screen on the box...

The Film is presented in 16:9 widescreen! 

The average Joe Blog or Joe Blows or whatever you want to call the chap might not care but when I purchase a DVD I expect to watch the film as it was intended to be seen in the cinema. 

Come on guys pay attention when you make these things. 

Finally I understand the writers strike!

At first I didn't really understand it, what do they want? turns out those scum bag studios have been holding out on them! 

Check out this video it explains all. 

A Fistful Of Zombies

I have come to decide that my first feature film should be the most ridiculous Zombie film ever created and after about 5 minutes of thinking the title hit me and stuck. 

Obviously with all things film making it is possible that one day I during production or post production I'll suddenly go "The title is shit! this one is much better" this is how it sticks for now. 

I've posted my little Call out notice for crew etc. here on the Headstrong forums in hopes for cheap labour... I mean an awesome capable crew but in any case if funding magically comes along there will be beer and pizza and maybe even pay for all who join the crew. 

Here's a crappy photoshop for those interested.
