Toy figures in a cardboard room with transparent figure between them.
Two toy figures in a cardboard room.
Overhead view of two cardboard rooms at a 90 degree angle to each other. Theres a plastic CD case lid angled between the openings.
I love classic stage/cinema effects. For a upcoming feature film I need a model of a Pepper's Ghost effect. Here's the 1st mockup.

Photo of busy Chicago street circa 1909 with text quote: "More people believe in Witches in Chicago than ever believed in them in Salem." from Chicago Daily Tribune, August 23rd 1903
Some beliefs never fade.

Looking down a dark apartment hallway bathed in blue light. At the end of the hall in the dark is a warm flickering light.
What is that flickering light at the end of the hall? Are those voices? Who islaughing?

A shiny dark surface with bright streaks of light running down it.
Enigmatic abstractions. It's part of learning more about composition and light and the camera. Can you guess what it is?

The building is abandoned. There's no power. It's four floors down. Is that a light in the sub-basement?

Can you hear their disdain for audiences that they think will just take whatever they shove at them? The best way to fight this is if people refuse to watch slop. Making money (failing to) is the only language they speak.

Tattered and decaying leather bound books on a library shelf.
Ever feel like there's something forbidden lurking at your Library? So many voices, fresh inked to ancient. Does one contain a curse poised to be triggered? Or an trapped spirit awaiting gasping release?

A street corner distorted through glass covered in water droplets.
Our view of the world is subjective. Sometimes we see things that shouldn't be there. Often at the edge of our vision. Are they being lurking at the edge of reality? Or at the edge of the collective unconscious?

A long dark alley by an elevated tran line. A dark silhouette against light at the end.
In the city there are alleys you don't walk down. Underpasses you don't pause under. Gates you don't cross. There is no obvious danger. Only a rumor. Only a feeling. All cities have these. Just as all rural towns. Places you should not go...

Before the city rose, immigrants worked the land. They brought old beliefs, old superstitions, old gods... Some legends will not fade.
