Interesting.

Sup yo, Cody here with some interesting bits of info.

The other day I was hanging out with my good friend Josh when I had noticed something about the way he was talking about making a cup of coffee, paying no mind to it at first he later talked about making a sandwich, when suddenly the idea hit me, Josh is the best person I can find to play the lead in my short film "Food: A Tasteful Documentary.".

Yes, I feel your pain. Being left in the dark about something so, delicious. "Food: A Tasteful Documentary." is a short film I am currently writing. Though the final draft for the short film will be written by both Tim and I, I am the main writer due to getting the idea for the film one day while being held in a trance of sandwich making. We plan on shooting the film as a side project sometime this year, hopefully in the next few months.



Surprise! I bring to your attention yet again one of my 3D side projects, "Boxes: To something higher" When I had got the idea about six months ago I had no plan on where to take the idea, But yesterday I had sat down and messed around with a box, and from there I had made a box/man, giving me a story for the short film I call "Boxes: To something higher".



The Gofio Podcast will be made sometime soon, Tim bought me a new headset for Christmas so now Chris and I are perfectly good to record. Tim will be getting his very soon. The Podcast will include info about the Gofio team's short films/Feature films, game reviews, recent movies watched, and anything else we deem good enough to be brought up, for example the cake we will be eating on my birthday (Jan 7th).

And for your parting pleasure, Obey The Altar Native is going to be playing live in Tuscan on the 22nd and 23rd, they have asked me to make up a short video for them while they are on stage, and of course I'm going to the concert so why not do them a favor?

Cody Out!

In-Advertising

Look at that poster. Really nice, isn't it? Subtle, evocative, emotional, and above all, well designed.

Yet anyone who's vaguely familiar with the Madea character (and I stress the word vaguely) will know that the films about said character are not AT ALL subtle, evocative, etc. They're basically Big Momma's House movies (and if I am mistaken, and only the trailers for the film make them seem to be low grade cheese, let me know, as I have yet to see a Madea movie).

Now, seeing this poster got me wondering what other grossly inaccurate posters are out there? Posters that do a terrible job of representing the film they're championing, whether through gross incompetence by the designer, or straight up lying by the marketing team.

This could be fun.

I know, I know, it's an awesome poster, for sure. But we're not talking about bad posters, we're talking about misleading ones. Look how fucking hot Leia looks! Her dress tarp is NEVER torn during the movie, I can assure you. Look how buff Luke is! Almost enough to get me to stop looking at Leia. But where the hell is Han? And why is the Death Star lit up like a Brite Lite?

No sequel? Bullshit motherfuckers.

This poster misleads you into thinking this movie might be good.

While not neccesarily mis-leading (I'm breaking my own rules fast), so many sci-fi and adventure movie posters that used art had the same problem: the film could just never, never be as awesome as the art promised. Here's another example:

Look for a post later devoted to this particular subject. And finally:

Look at the size of that fucking jeep. Godzilla's foot was nowhere NEAR this big in the movie.

Poster makin' Damn it!

Okay so I gotta admit it, Tim makes one killer poster! I recently made a poster for my scripted short film called "YoshiFish" But I'll admit it doesn't add up to even half as bad ass as Tim's poster for "Marketorb" Of course the two short films are a huge difference in style and tone... yeah I'll leave my poor excuse as that for now. I will let Tim write up the info and everything on "Marketorb" but I am willing to tell ya about YoshiFish. "YoshiFish is a short film about a news reporter that goes to a small school for a report on the local science fair, but when a young man pours a mixture of unstable chemicals into a fish tank, a green tad pole begins to grown into a horrible monstrosity." Yeah, it sounds kinda "blah, same old goosebumps horror story" well if that's what you thought then Thank you because that's what I was going for :D. The short film will be shot in a serious tone but be funny in a twisted sense also like a documentary. The film will not start shooting till some time after "Marketorb" most likely, due to the fact I have my hands full with the "Obey the alter native" music video and my animated short "Boxes"(Has not started shooting or even started building sets yet only script)



My girlfriend and I went back to this and made this poster better.
