Dark Knights
Man, I love stuff like this. Glad it's not a real movie. I dig Blade, but I'd be rooting for Batman all the way.
Wind Witch
Currently converting this guy into a witch. Same concept as the ghost, but with black plastic and a witch hat, and a spooky old-school witch face. She should look neat blowing in the wind on my porch. I'll film her when I'm done.
Here she is in a test shot.
Now Playing: The Home Of Dark Butterflies

Depth
LOVE this idea.
Think of something like this at night.

If It's War They Want
It is still a matter of wonder how the Martians are able to slay men so swiftly and so silently. Many think that in some way they are able to generate an intense heat in a chamber of practically absolute non-conductivity. This intense heat they project in a parallel beam against any object they choose, by means of a polished parabolic mirror of unknown composition, much as the parabolic mirror of a lighthouse projects a beam of light. But no one has absolutely proved these details. However it is done, it is certain that a beam of heat is the essence of the matter. Heat, and invisible, instead of visible, light. Whatever is combustible flashes into flame at its touch, lead runs like water, it softens iron, cracks and melts glass, and when it falls upon water, incontinently that explodes into steam.

Staring
Going to come clean, if I woke up at night and saw this looking in on me, I'd die of fear.
Truly die.
