The Un-Making of Mane of Darkness (Not football related)

Postby ThadFilms » Fri Aug 04, 2006 1:45 pm

Hey folks... sure this is better suited for the "general" forum, but I figured I would shill for votes in the football forum.

With the soon to be released Snakes on a Plane garnering quite a bit of Internet attention, simply because of it's schlocky title - The Alamo Drafthouse decided to have a competetion entitled Blanks on a Blank.

The premise being that you sign up a team and are handed a randomly generated animal on a randomly generated vehicle.... Our group got Lions on a Police Car.

So we went out and shot enough footage for 20 minute film.... and then cut it down to five for contest rules. In any case head on over there and vote heavily on a PonyFan. Or don't.

Oh, and you have to sign in.... I guess the Alamo wants to steal your soul.

... and watch out... I'll be putting the extended addition online within the coming weeks. Thanks for your time.

And a word of warning the films on this site all contain strong language. The contest rules stipulated as such... what are you gonna' do when you have a competition inspired by a Sam Jackson movie?

Anyhow just a little fun thing I did while finishing my first full length film... here's the linik -

Just scroll down until you see ThadFilms.

Cheers... and go Mustangs,
Thaddeus

edit: ahh yes I notice now that Doug (LonghornFan68) has already posted info. on this in the General forum... I should have checked there too before posting. He too worked on the film. (Thanks for putting that up there dude!)

I think you could have won for sure with Ponies in a Bowl Game

Sadly I do not think they had that as an option... but I strongly agree... Ponies in a Bowl Game would rule them all!

I think the contest is for a film in the action genre, not fantasy.

Apparently that would fall in the remake category.

Bump.

Hey folks, today is the last day to vote. Help a PonyFan out... me personally, winning is not why I did this competition - I did it for my friends who wanted to work on a film. I wanted to give them something to be proud of - so just like Jerry Maguire - help me help them.

Go Mustangs.

Thanks,
Thaddeus D. Matula

I participated as well, although my contribution was limited. Please vote for us. We'd appreciate any help you can give.

Well until I get my website back up again... which will be soon... send me a check for $10 and I'll send you a DVD complete with yummy bonus features.

Actually the check is optional... just PM me your address and I'll ship you a copy of Fish Don't Wear Clothes.

As soon as the website is online* I will have downloads immediately, and very soon a sales section. Cool.



*it'll be quicker for me to send you one. We will be going live with a stripped down website in the beginning of September.... in case you are wondering my website has not been seen since before I started posting regularly on this board.

It will be:
