Post Easter Horrors Update 04-17-2017

Well, I hope everyone had a very nice Easter or if you're not of a mind for chocolate eggs, a nice month so far. I've made a new video update for you all, giving a rundown of what's been happening with our movie, as well as some other exciting news, but if you don't feel like watching then just check out the notes below.


Editing The Quantum Terror is coming along well, although it is probably the most labor intensive task for me, when it comes to making a film. That's probably because I don't have my cast and crew with me at this point in the process, backing me up and making me look good.


I do have a some great help, though. Composer Derek J. Hunt is not only creating amazing music for our film but is also managing sound design, bringing the quality of our production up to a whole new level.


In addition to that, I'm am very excited to announce that Make-Up Effects Group co-founder Paul Katte has joined in to bring his own brand of artistry to the VFX team. He and his partner Nick Nicolaou (pictured above on another project) are better known for their practical effects work, but true talent knows no bounds and I am truly overwhelmed that Paul has agreed to take part in this production.  I mean, just check out their show reel!


The Matrix? The Hobbit? Childhood's End? Wolverine? How did I get the combined talent of both MEG, on top of studioADI on our little film? I honestly don't know, but I feel super lucky. I've also had the pleasure of interviewing them in the past on my practical effects podcast show The Practical People...


...which brings me to my next announcement. If you didn't know I have an entire first season of The Practical People under my belt, filled with interviews with some of the best PFX artists in the business, that you can listen to by clicking HERE on You Tube or HERE on Vid.me. After a long hiatus I will be "soft starting" season 2 in the coming weeks, and then slowly rolling out more through the summer, when the film is finished and I have more time. MEG will be our first guest and then I will bring you fresh interviews from both new and return guests.






Please, be sure to also find my show on Facebook by clicking HERE.

It is my intention  after the release of The Quantum Terror to continue to produce content in the form of more interviews, tutorials, feature films, and other artistic content. If the demand keeps up I will finance this endeavor via Patrion or some other subscription service. I'm still researching the possibilities and trying to figure out if the demand will be there.


That's why I want to hear from you. Do you want this kind of content? If I do start a Patreon account, what kind of products would entice you to subscribe? Would you like to see more in depth video tutorials? How about one of a kind hand made miniature creatures? Are you interested in original artwork or limited addition prints? Maybe, there's something I'm not thinking of that you'd like to see me provide. Please, let me know through this blog or my other social media, provided in the links below. I'd love your input.


Last but not least, I want to address another Lovecraftian, Indiegogo funded, horror movie called The Void that just came out via VOD.  It's a cool little low budget flick and bears a lot of similarities to our movie. Indeed if you watch it before The Quantum Terror you can see that we drew from very similar sources. I'm not worried about this. You can't do a Lovecraftian film and not hit Lovecraftian notes. I've been working on this movie for over two years now and can say with confidence that although some imagery will be strikingly similar, The Quantum Terror takes things in an entirely different direction. Besides, the movie has been in the can for a while now. There's no going back to change it. I think the two movies can exist side by side as a testament to how differently people can react to an individual idea or ideology.  

As always, thank you!

Valentine's Day Update


We're deeeeeeeeeeep into editing The Quantum Terror right now, with 22 minuets and 55 seconds of the movie completed in it's rough form. That means no color grading, sound mix, or VFX yet, but there is a watchable movie, there. We're really excited about that. Things are shaping up rather well and while I'm keeping my nose to the grindstone, I wanted to come up for air and let you all know that I haven't forgotten about you. 

While you wait, check out this great new interview from MorbidlyBeautiful.com with Quantum Terror star Paula Solinger, as part of their Deadly Beauty: Scream Queens & Rising Talents series. CLICK HERE to read it. We're very proud of her.


I also wanted to take you behind the scenes of another aspect of our film, which is production design. The Pipe Lion smoke shop, in Kyle, TX was a major contributor to our film, opting to go for our product placement pledge reward. We came to their store and shot a scene, but at the time they were without signage for their store, so we made them a new one.





I like to think that we go above and beyond for our contributors, whenever possible. Look for this sign in the movie.

Well, I hate to post and run, but it's time to finish up this film, so it's back to work for me.

As always, thank you!

Director Christopher Moonlight Gets Candid

I thought I'd do something a bid different this time, something a little more personal and human, instead of the usual behind the scenes stuff. In this video, I talk about the future of our film, as well as my feelings in regards to what it all means and where I want to go next.




As always, thank you!

A Holiday Message From Director Christopher Moonlight

Tis the season for family, friends, and the wrap up of another year. I've seen a lot of people complain that 2016 has not been their year, but mind couldn't have been more amazing. Why? Because of you. I've put together this video to personally update everyone with a year end progress report and to say thank you.


I also recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Robert Stark and Pilleater of Stark Truth Radio, an hour long podcast show that, if you're like me and you enjoy listening to people talk shop while you work or walk the dog, you can do so by CLICKING HERE. It's also available via the You Tube video below.

 Well, I can't say it enough. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We're very near the finish line now and before you know it, there will be a movie.



As always, thank you!

Director Christopher Moonlight On Zombie Life TV

As usual, we've been super busy in our bid for the finish line, on this film. This past Saturday we shot with actors Paula Solinger and wrapped Jordan Micheal Brinkman. I'll be publishing some photographs from that day soon. I'm excited to say that August 20th will represent our final day of filming for The Quantum Terror. From there, we will go onto 2nd unit photography (miniatures, puppets, inserts) VFX, editing, and sound. More on that, later.

For now, I'd like you to enjoy this episode of Zombie Life TV, where I was invited on to take about The Quantum Terror and show off some of our practical effects. 


And if you're somewhere, where it's easier to listen, you can also get it on Sound Cloud.


More updates coming soon. Right now, we've got to deal with some tentacles.

Matt Blackwell gets caught in some tentacles. 

As always, thank you!

Director Christopher Moonlight Interviews With Film Courage!

“If you were to hand Jimi Hendrix a $100 thrift shop guitar, that guy is still
going to shred on it….”



It was an honor and privilege to have been asked by FilmCourage.com to talk about how we're shooting The Quantum Terror on a Canon 7D. You can see the full article that goes along with the video by clicking HERE. I talk about the camera, lenses, and how planning with your team makes all the difference. 

I know I say this a thousand times a month, but I want you all to know that the other team that makes all the difference is you guys, the people who have supported us through pledges, input, and sharing our links & posts. I always have you in mind while I'm doing all of this work. I'm very grateful to you and am so looking forward to showing you the finished film. 

Thank you.
