Just thought I'd share a little teaser to a film Ben and I worked on the past couple weekends. It's called "Mickey vs. The Snowman." It's a 1940's boxing dramadey directed by Joe Dressel, a director in town (Minneapolis). Ben did all the great boxing gore and bruises and even helped in the camera department, while I was Director of Photography and sound designer. Check the trailer below and shout out your thoughts!

Massacre at Madge?
I recently listened to the audio commentary on "Summer School." and noticed the character charles having three shorts that were previously done by Random CreatureFace. I was wondering where I may be able to find this short "Massacre at Madge." For my Viewing pleasure.

Ben Trandem also works on things
I figured since Mike has been running his mouth about all his projects I'd chime in with the weirdo projects I've been working on.
First up is Health Freaks. It's a Troma-ish mutant attack film. Here's the mypsace page. A few of the mutants I did are in the trailer. I didn't do all the effects though so it's interesting to see mine mixed in with others. Mostly I did quick greeny mutant makeups and a few of the more elaborate gore scenes. It is also was a fun shoot to do as the "Troma way" of filming is get it, got it?, no, still good.
Whats next???
So whats next on the plate for the Random Creatureface team???? are you planning to do another feature film together this year???
Mike P. Nelson's Project Updates Pt. II
Yep, welcome to part 2 of the Mike P. Nelson project thread!
Summer School DVD Now Available
So, finally, the Summer School DVD is available for purchase. Where you ask? Oh right here!

How much do you like them? Anything surprisingly good or bad about them?
Find any of the easter eggs yet? This is a yes/no question. We might reveal where they are later but part of the fun is the hunt.
Would anybody want a Drunken commentary/Drinking game cause we do like to drink. Obviously. And it's very simple for us to record an mp3 you play over the normal audio track. Free for download off the site of course.
