I've been wanting to make weird amateur movies for years, but have only recently acquired the means of doing it. Now I'm equipped with an adequate video camera, Adobe After Effects Pro, a lot of insanity, and a few friends as insane as I am. I like special effects, figuring out how to make special effects, figuring out how other people have made special effects, and seeing a good special effect that I think I could recreate. I'm also a Japanese anime fan of the most annoyingly fanatical kind, and I am trying to learn Japanese. I also like video games, digital video, and recording digital copies of obscure TV shows. Note: I generally consider my movies of low-to-average quality, but I thank everyone who has indicated otherwise through the success of "Shape Shifting Cat". Now I know how William Shatner feels; one (relatively) big success in a sea of failures, and I can't quite figure out what everybody liked about it so much. ...Sorry Bill, it was just descriptive.
