Zombies Need To Quit Jerking You Around
What should you do in this bleak world of innumberable zombie movies but so few good ones? If you don’t care what you watch and just want something with zombies, by all means pick something off the rental store shelf that went straight to DVD and have a blast. If you’re out for something less revolting, turn to the classics. If you go for the classsics, you’re in luck. Nowadays you’ve got oldschool classics and recent classics to pick from.
If you feel like hitting up the old school go with Romero. Night of The Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (78) and Day of the Dead are all great. Return of the Living Dead features some great 80s rockers, invincible zombies and it’s pretty funny too. Don’t forget about all the italian zombie movies. Fulci’s ‘Zombi’ is a must see.
If you want something newer go with 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead 2004 or a little movie from Hong Kong called Bio-Zombie. Bio-Zombie is definately worth a look - it has alot of little touches that american movies just don’t get.
Whatever you do, don’t let the glut of crappy zombie movies jerk you around like you see in the video below:

This disturbing camera phone footage was submitted anonymously to pornbutcher.tv late last night. The only information included with the video was the text “Because the Weekly World News is closed.” Does it depict the Cloverfield Parasite? Is this a demon from the depths of porno hell? We may never know :

Bubble Pop : Compositing a Real Bubble onto a digital set (Behind the Butcher #2)
Out of everything in Episode #0, the shot I get the most questions about is definitely the popping bubble. I’m sure the fact that it’s funny and gross has alot to do with that, but it wouldn’t be anything without the careful integration of the digital background and the live action bubble. That’s right, we shot those popping bubble for real. Here’s the shot to refresh your memory :
Simulating fluids is a huge part of computer animation. On most big special effects movies, entire teams of incredibly skilled animators and math minded programming wizards are assigned to making fluids look good. A team of specialists labored for over a year to produce the whirlpool at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean 3: Dead Man’s Chest. Realities like these lead many viewers to think that everything they see is a digital simulation, however that’s not always the case. If a shot calls for a quick and simple fluid effect that’s within the realm of reality, generally it is accomplished in reality. This avoids the millions of dollars and thousands of man hours it would take to recreate it in the computer.
I do not have millions of dollars or dozens of people, but I do have corn starch and Adobe After Effects. As it turns out, that’s all you need to pull off a massive popping goo bubble. The first step we need to accomplish is to actually videotape the popping bubble. Three things needed to come together to make this happen:
-
I poked a hole in a plastic cup and duct taped a piece of automotive vacuum tube into said hole. This is our bubble blower.
-
A black background is needed so we can more easily isolate the white bubble. Poster board works fine.
-
“Bubble Solution.” This was all natural. A secret all natural mix of corn starch, milk and diet root beer.
With all this arranged I fired up the camera and had a friendly grip blow on the vacuum tube. We shot about 5 minutes of gurgling and popping bubbles. If you’re going to make a mess you should exploit it as much as possible. After transferring this footage into the computer I selected the bubble pop that looked the best and got to work :
In case you missed anything, I’ll run down that process in text as well:
1.We need to separate the white of the bubble from the black of the poster board. Applying the color key effect with a few adjustments gets that done.
2. The bubble doesn’t look as white as it could. Let’s Crank down the saturation to drain out any shades of grey.
3. The bubble looks a little too transparent when we composite it over our digital background. We’ll duplicate the bubble layer and shift the blending mode to ’screen’ to make the bubble less transparent.
I hope you’ve enjoyed another entry in my continueing series of gross oversimplifications of the digital post production process. Watch out for the next ‘Behind the Butcher’ where we’ll tackle some even more complicated work with even less acknowledgement of how complicated it is.
Cheers!

Porn Butcher Theme Song Sing Along !
Viewers asked for it, so here it is : A sing along version of the Porn Butcher Theme Song! This is the theme song and video included at the end of Episode #0, now with trippy psychadelic sing-along lyrics added so everyone can play along at home. I’ll talk more in a future post about some of the inspiration behind the opening, but for now, enjoy the video.
Here are the lyrics again, just in case you were wondering:
PORN BUTCHER!
He used to mop up lots of nasty semens;
Now he chops up lots of porno demons
Whoa-oh!
He’s the Porn Butcher!
The Porn-Porn Butcher!
When Fapilicious attacks
Porno Butcher don’t cut her no slack!
An angel zapped him with a magic beam,
his outfit changed
he had a bad wet dream!
He’s the Porn Butcher,
The Porn, Porn Butcher.
His talking knife is a prude.
He gets ladies in the Nude.
Porn Butcher, yeah!
