Oh boy, 2018’s Distorted. It’s a movie alright. Yep, there’s a beginning, a middle, and an end. It’s got a runtime of an hour and 26 minutes, you better believe it. People are acting in it, that’s right. John is in it, Christina Ricci is in it. There’s some other people, and guess what, they’re talking. And it’s all on screen. Three more.
We mainly talk about Cruelty Squad this episode. If for some sick reason you want to hear about the film skip to the 42ish minute mark.
We’re at the point in the pod where we are excited about a movie being bad in a “different” way then usual. Blood Money feels like a modern horror film in setup but plays out like every other VOD we’ve watched. However it features a perfectly executed performance from John on this one and a 90 min runtime which is all we can ask for at this point. We also get into music and the creative process at the beginning.
One goal I had in mind when I started planning my short film “Psychic Sauna” was I wanted to work on my environment design. Personally I have always enjoyed environment design and building worlds in other mediums so I wanted to transition those skills to 3D. Psychic Sauna features multiple environments which all took a significant amount of time to make. And while I don’t claim to be the greatest Environment Designer in the world I learned a lot during this process and wanted to share with you all my experience. So here are 4 tips to make better environments in Blender.
We got another John Cusack and Nicholas Cage joint. It’s about as good as you’d expect which is not at all. Spend some time with actors whose face you know from somewhere but you don’t know their name as they play baseball and hang out at the arcade. And Cage has an insane fake nose. Some other stuff happens but you know the deal, I forget what happens in these things the second we’re done recording.
