Dahmer vs Gacy vs Austin
Ford Austin is relentless. Every time I speak to him he’s developing a new project, in post on another, doing some acting AND in the middle of directing the next big thing. He’s a madman. His latest feature, Dahmer vs Gacy is currently in post and I’m in for visual effects. On deck for this project: exploding windows, news graphics and LOTS of virtual blood. Google “Dahmer vs Gacy.”
What’s the Back Story?
Dedicated short film director Jeremy Lanni, the auteur of Noble Savage Productions brought me on board to provide visual effects for his new short Back Story. I will be upping the ante for his opening credit effect and providing a delightfully hellish backdrop for a character later in the film. Production starts in a couple of weeks — I can’t wait!
Trippin is Finished!
For the last year (at least) I’ve been heavily steeped in my first feature film with Deviant Pictures: trippin’. It’s a dark dramedy with horror elements that serves up real characters, a boldly original concept a puppet and a WAY freaked out drug trip courtesy of myself (visual effects director) and Wuhan Digital Media.
The Pimping Hat
I just finished the muppet-ey Pimping Hat puppet for Tim Richardson’s upcoming Harvey Putter. It is a traditional hand-puppet built using sheet foam techniques described in The Foam Book, which I highly recommend for children and adults. I didn’t use Antron fleece, which I regret but otherwise I’m quite proud of this fellow.
He has pose-able eyebrows and can be worn as a hat and operated at the same time (just not by the same person).
Go here for my original concept art.

Hey Ian,
Love the Putter Purple Pimping Hat!

Thanks! –and that’s right. I was the effects supervisor on the shoot and I’m doing digital effects in post.

How much to order one of these? When can I SWAG?

LOL–I presume you are not serious, but if I WERE to get a commission to do another one of these I reckon it’d be $350.
What does SWAG mean in this context?
