#StanWinston #Dinosaur Today would have been the great Stan Winston's 74th birthday. If you're unfamiliar with his work, he was the special effects mastermind behind films like Aliens, Jurassic Park, A.I., and The Terminator franchise. He also directed the horror movie classic Pumpkinhead. #Birthday #HappyBirthday #JurassicPark #Aliens #AI #Terminator #Pumkinhead #HorrorMovie #SfiFi #ScienceFiction #PracticalEffects #practicalefx #specialeffects #specialfx #filmmaking #filmmaker #VFX #animatronics #makeupartist #makeupfx #makeup @stanwinstonschool https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rmtzyFMJy/?igshid=ttl044c0nv23

One of the things I'm really proud of regarding the tentacle VFX of @TheQuantumTerror is that they were all created using practical effects. Some where composited in while others where puppeteered on set. I have made these assets available as license free downloads at www.digitalpracticalfx.com/tentacles for a nominal fee for use in your own content creation.

#PracticalEffects #filmmaking I think after The @QuantumTerror we're going to do some crazy science fiction. Here's a practical effects miniature I created some years ago. #ScienceFiction #scifi #spaceship #outerspace #greenscreen #practicalefx #specialeffects #SpecialFX #VFX #visualeffects #MovieMagic #miniature #miniaturefx https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNPe4LFtuf/?igshid=ku29lwzmevq1

My #Alien #chestburster #tutorial, just in time for #Halloween, is almost done. Just a few more steps to record and then it will be out on my YouTube channel. Actually, my Patreon supporters will see it first but sub my channel through the link in my Instagram bio to see it soon after that. It's a quick build that you can do on a Saturday. #Aliens #HolloweenCostume #Cosplay #PracticalEffects #practicalefx #specialeffects #SpecialFX #puppet #puppets #tentacle #tentacles #HorrorMovie #scifi #ScienceFiction #filmmaking #filmmaker #TheQuantumTerror #HRGiger #InSpaceNoOneCanHearYouScream https://www.instagram.com/p/B37I2GGlz8G/?igshid=dq8vvzgt23nk

A little video, from a while back, about one of the Lovecraftian practical effects puppets I created for @thequantumterror. #lovecraftian #HorrorMovie #filmmaking #specialeffects #PracticalEffects #practicalefx #puppet #puppets #tentacle #tentacles #indiefilm #TheQuantumTerror #QuantumTerrormMovie #QuantumTerror https://www.instagram.com/p/B7reneJpHND/?igshid=1qji5chj3ol6f

My #Lovecraftian film #TheQuantumTerror has been in post production for quite sometime. This wasn't intended but on such a low budget I'm bound by many limitations that can only be solved by creative thinking and patience. When this movie finally comes out it's going to be the best film it can be under such constraints but the passion will be apparent. I care very deeply about this film and so does everyone who worked on it for that matter. I thank everyone who has contributed and waited for this film to come out, including the journalists such as @joshisdamnfine at @dreadcentral and Ash Hamilton at Horror-Fix who showed that they believed in this project from the start. I'm also encouraged by other Lovecraftian films that are seeing the light of day, such as #TheColorOutOfSpace. Derek Hunt and I are currently solving some complex audio issues but once those are out of the way, we will have a completed motion picture. Thank you, all. - Christopher #QuantumTerror #QuantumTerrorMovie #HorrorMovie #DarkArt #HPLovecraft #occult #quantumphysics #lifeisbutadream #PracticalEffects #practicalefx #specialeffects #SpecialFX #filmmaking #filmmaker #indiefilm #tentacles #tentacle #CosmicTerror #CosmicHorror #LewisCarroll #Lynchian #DownTheRabbitHole #surrealism (at Kyle, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kTeCBl9Y1/?igshid=13len601ur9jz
