Making “Pleasantville”
I’ve alway loved the film “Pleasantville,” two cynical 1990s teens go back into the world of a 1950’s sitcom- and ruin it just by being real.
I knew they used 1998 digital after effects to get the mix of black and white and color seen in the film. But it’s interesting to se exactly how they did it. AND how simple some of it is….
I’ve read how when they shoot Black and White the sets and costumes are often bright green or red, because they look better in Black and White.
See this 8mm home movie shot on the set of “Son of Frankenstein”
The green registers as a paler shade of white on B&W film. This has led to almost a century of mild controversy, “is Frankensteins monster supposed to be green?”
The green makeup trick was repeated on PLEASANTVILLE.
I still say the coolest “effect” was a real colored actress in a set just painted in shades of grey.
I wonder if todays young people would get a story like that, since they didn’t grow up watching reruns of 50s TV sitcoms.

George A Romero to get a Star on the Hollywood WALK OF FAME
Every horror movie fans idol, George A. Romero will be getting a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
He is also the idol of every wanna be independent filmmaker who has heard of him. He used the 16mm cameras and crew from his TV commercial production company and a shoestring budget to make a micro budget but very memorable film, ” Night of the Living Dead”!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Living_Dead
Well shot and well written. Romero also sought out the best actors he could get, which set ” Night of the Living Dead” apart from most other low budget horror movies. The film isn’t nearly as gorey or bloody as its reputation might suggest, just some extras covered in chocolate syrup and chewing on lamb bones. I have also heard that this is a case of someone botching the copyright and thousands of entities have exploited this film but none of the original producers made a dime.

He was always Muhammed Ali. He dropped Cassius before I was born. He was ALWAYS on TV…boxing or talking about boxing….
A favorite schoolyard game as kids was repeating Ali’s toasts/ raps…
“float like a butterfly sting like a bee you can’t hit what you can’t see….”
“I’m the greatest, I can’t be beat, fight with me and you’ll get a ringside seat”
“this is no jive. The fight will end in five.”
Debra and Ben, May 21, 2016
Debra and Ben got married on May 21, 2016 at the Taylor House in Taylor, Texas.
They hired me to shoot it. I used a Canon DSLR, 2 Camcorders and 2 go pros (one on a gimbal).
I edited it with Adobe Premiere and After Effects.
3 Little Pigs from TALES FROM THE CRYPT
How have I never seen this?
An animated episode of Tales from The Crypt. I loved reprints of EC Comics and I really liked the HBO show.
I never knew they made an animated episode. They made a G ( or PG) cartoon version of the show for Saturday mornings, Tales from the Cryptkeeper. I wonder if that same animation company made the ” pigs ” episode. That would seem to make sense ” hey guys- enough of the safe kiddie stuff, lets do something really sick”
