Z-Day Productions

We're a fresh, young company looking to make a name for ourselves. We won't be functioning like a typical production house. Our skills and unique outlook on the world will show that. While, typically, production houses have large crews, we will limit ourselves to the smallest size possible. This does multiple things.
     
First, this limits our costs. We won't be spending extra funds on crew/positions that another person could easily cover. I, for example, will man cameras, edit, direct and if needed be a simple "gofer".
     
Two, this builds a better bond. Creates a more family operated feel with the crew we do have, as well as our clients. They won't have to remember dozens of new people whether it's for a day or months. On long projects they'll be comfortable with the small crew around them.
     
We will produce films, shorts and even music videos. We will reach out to local musicians and artists. Help them establish their name, while establishing ours. At the time of this writing, many local artists have to film their own videos and we are looking to change that.
     
Whatever the needs of our clients, we will try and meet them. Certain things, however, we won't be able to do at first. That's only because of limited funds. As we grow, so will our technology and skills.

Epic suckfest x10

If you've seen the movie BloodRayne, you know what an epic suckfest it was. And no, suckfest is no reference to the fact it's about vampires, it literally sucked that bad.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to vampire/werewolf b-movies, I thought I'd give the second film, BloodRayne 2: Deliverance, a shot. I figured it couldn't be much worse than the first one.

Oh how wrong I was. It makes the first one seem great! The damn movie takes forever to get started and even then it feels like it's going nowhere. Forty minutes in and I'm wanting to quit. But since I'm a trooper, I'll finish this piece of crap. I swear every fifth shot is a closeup of someone's teeth or eyes as they squint dramatically...or eat a cracker apparently.

Did I mention I'm blogging this as I finish the movie? I cannot focus all my attention on this film for fear I'll go OD on some pain meds. Yes, it's that bad. Oh and did I mention how bad it was?

I don't care how much you like b-movies, nor how curious you are about whether or not I'm over-exaggerating how bad this is. DON'T WATCH IT!!! Please, for the sake of your sanity, do not watch this film. Save yourself the 100 minutes and go get a lobotomy instead. Really, it would probably be more fun.

Oh thank gods there's only 10 minutes left. I cannot take much more of this.

I can only imagine how disappointed fans of the videogame are in these films. I've never played any of the BloodRayne games (for PS2 and I believe PC as well), so I'm guessing those that have probably committed a murder-suicide after seeing them.
