Home Pictures Cinema Blog

Home Pictures was originally founded by Andrew Mitchell in 2001. Andrew chose the name because nearly all of his early films were shot in his home with his family's 8mm camcorder and of course were homemade. Since then Home Pictures has made 10 original short films and continues to put its best effort forward in producing quality entertainment.

I just built a 1k attachment for my LimoStudio double socket light.  I added a 3rd hole for a clamp light (sans clamp & dish).  This takes 3 giant 85W CFL bulbs, each can be turned on/off individually.  At full blast the light is about 1050 watt equivalent!  Barn doors are up next!

Sorry for being M.I.A. for a bit, we've been crazy busy. Good news, the promo poster is finally finished. The photo shoot went perfectly and we got some excellent pictures! I'm going to be posting these all over SF, so if you're in the bay area, you might see one!

Also be sure to share the project on twitter too!

OK. So here's the the scoop troops! I am going to be shooting promo photos for the teaser poster/flyer for the film. It's probably going to be the most suspenseful flyer/poster thing you've seen in a long while. Stay Tuned.

PS. Remember to share this project to cinema-lovers everywhere. Even your aunt, who loves watching "murder, she wrote" on sunday nights. :P
