The Beacon: October 24th 2001

Right, everyone buy Dreamwatch tomorrow because my main man JC wrote one of the articles in it. Simon Wyndham put me on to some very cheap software that does some pretty cool-looking muzzle flashes. I might get it, since the ones I did by hand look a little cartoony. I used the good old UFO lamp (responsible for the Kitchen logo) for some FX yesterday, but I’m not saying what. Laziness got the better of me and I decided to use Soul Searcher as the film they’re watching in the cinema scene, to save having to film something specially. It actually works better, because it’s nice and in-jokey, and shows that even though I’m taking the piss out of Hollywood cliches with The Beacon, I admit that I’ve succumbed to them myself in the past (and present).
