The Green Hand Bookshop, hailing out of Portland in the USA, has a nice set of images of works in their current gallery show Madness Immemorial: a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft.

And the winner of my recent iClone competition is… joster285. Congratulations! The licences for iClone 4 Pro, 3DXchange 4 Pro, and CrazyTalk 6 Pro are on the way to him. It was a very difficult choice, but sadly there was only one prize to give. Here’s his pitch for making a Lovecraft movie using the iClone real-time movie-making software…
“I would adapt ‘From Beyond’. It’s quite an interesting tale about exploration and distorted reality. Of course, I’m familiar with the Stuart Gordon film adaptation, though, but after making several Lovecraft adaptations with The Movies, I feel that iClone would be the best way to tell the story. I would do the movie in the style of a psychological thriller with minimum dialogue. For visuals, when Tillinghast and his assistant enter the alternative dimension, every time the scene switches camera angles, the color scheme will fade into a different color giving it a distorted feel.”
