Visual effects:

Ok, I have to admit it. I am really just an enthusiastic amateur in this department but I do what I can with my limited resources. I´ve had to come up with a few innovative solutions to problems encountered while filming my shorts. Here are a couple of examples. I´ve mostly done "glow" animations for various characters eyes and magical weapons, but there are a couple of more interesting examples. In the opening scene of my vampire musical "Small Town Dead, I had to make it rain blood. In this same film, I couldn´t afford blanks and squibs for the guns so I had to edit in muzzle flashes and artificial lights in post. In addition, I have done some editing tricks and mattes.

The following are screen grabs from "Small Town Dead". Sadly, they don´t look very good as freeze frames.
