If I have bought and paid for the DVD or Blu-Ray, I will share it with whoever I like and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it, as I own the film.

Wrong you purchased a license to play the DVD or Blu-Ray disc on your player or pc, the license does not include uploading the content on the disc to the internet, you may back-up or lend your copy of the disc to a friend, you may not sell copies of the disc to other people.

With a digital file that would be Copyright theft if you uploaded the file to the internet then you still have your copy, and anyone else who wants it can make a copy as well.

Films cost too much or I don’t have a job and I only buy movies after watching them.

At the most extreme you are saying film makers should produce a film and give everyone a copy for free, do you see how that does not work?

Why would anyone produce a movie or any other creative work that cost money without making that back, in the real world not all movies are made in Hollywood and have budgets of millions of dollars/pounds, independent film makers live without backing from studios and work for a living and may never see a profit.

This is theft,  the only thing is that people have a distorted view of the world that all digital copies doesn’t count, it’s still the same as bootlegging, the film makers see no profits only the people violating.

By downloading and not buying new films and other media you condemn the world to films like SAW 8 and Hostal 4, and the music of  Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black  and Lady GaGa.

In the first issue of our new production diary we will be discussing some of our older production that have bitten the dust or have just proving hard to continue funding, and also a look at the upcoming movie Danger of Death.

1. DefCon
Just before filming stopped we ran into trouble over not being able to find suitable shooting locations within budget, and two of the actors unable to film there scenes midway into shooting, recasting the parts with two new actors was impossible, parts of this production will be used other films or shorts.

2. There’s Always Wednesday
This film was in it’s ninth draft and out on the indefinite hold list before filming even started.

3. Operation: Sweet Death
As some of you may know already know Operation: Sweet Death is now in pre-production with a fixed budget, with a opportunity to use an existing film franchise name worldwide, so the name for this production is using a place-holder name for the time being, Set in the aftermath of a nuclear power plant meltdown.

4. Danger of Death
This will be our last production released on DVD, as we move over to full HD workflow and Blu-Ray only releases, Danger of Death will have release a in December.

It seem that Youtube have stop counting my channel views, messages from other Youtubers and channel comments as well, I stopped using Youtube a few years ago after Youtube updated and made all my old videos look like bad with poor resolution, very bad compression, contrasts, pillarbox aspect ratios, having to crop and stretch videos with yt:stretch=16:9 and yt:crop=16:9.

Asking for help from Youtube and Google forums seems to be to much for them and they have started ignoring people looking for help, just checking the forums lots of users are not getting any replies, are Google really so cheap not to have support staff.

The last video I uploaded last week has now been stuck at 401 views since it first day online, I still have no idea why even though I get some comments and rating the view number keeps the same on all my videos, even the unlisted and private ones I share with other people.

It seems like an ongoing problem with Youtube, just doing a quick search on your favourite search engine comes up with tens of thousands of complaints.

Years before Youtube, Google has it’s own video hosting service called Google Video, later Google discovered that they could not really compete with upstart Youtube, so went on a buy spree buying a little company called (You Guessed It) Youtube for $1.65 billion.

Not long after Google stopped users uploading new video to there old service, So people who have uploaded videos to the service, have received emails in the that informed them about the shutdown of the service on May 13 2011, and asked them to download the video files before Google forever deletes them.

So what is happing to all the Digital Nasties video’s hosted on Google Video, well nothing as you can view them on our Youtube channel.

But that not all, because we will be uploading new and exclusive content to the channel later this year, so check back for all the great updates.

This is just a quick update about a few things on the website, first Maniac and Maniac The Revenge have both been digitally re-mastered from the original master tapes, the last edition were taking from a lousy u-Matic master and to say the image quality was questionable was a understatement, anybody who ordered the first edition on DVD will be sent a the two replacement disc in the next few weeks.

Our first 1080p HD film is just about compete, and we are about to start testing the Blu-Ray disc for compatibility, reading a few forums about the issue, it seems a lot of brand name players can’t play burned disc without encryption on the discs which is something we don’t have access to, so it seems that our first HD feature film may only come out on the DVD format.

A few weeks ago “Pop Hak” emailed us about a bootleg DVD from china called Death Cemetery which is a renamed copy of our film The Graveyard of Death which is infact just the workprint from disc two of the Limited Edition and not the full 96 minutes edition, so keep a eye out for that.

Nightmare of the Living Dead is just about finished too, a lot of video filtering has been done on the raw footage to improve visual quality of the film, just as with Zombie Ferox was our first test of this software, we hope to offer the best reconstruction of the film possible for the new DVD.

This week the new Tory-Lib Dem Government cut funds to the UK Film Council, set up in 2000 by the Labour Government as a non-departmental public body to develop and promote the film industry within the United Kingdom, films like Bend it Like Beckham, Gosford Park, Fish Tank or Sex Lives of the Potato Men, who will now invest? What is the state of the British Film Industry? Does the UK film industry have a future? How can we expect British Cinema to be able to compete and find new talents when the Tory-Lib Dem Government abolish a the only major player in the film industry in the UK?

Over the last ten year very few films were funded by the UK Film Council, only the elite of film producers and director had any access to funding from the UK Film Council, unless you were Mike Leigh, Danny Doyle the nepotism run deep within the UK film industry, it’s policies were mostly disastrous, staffed by mediocre slim-balls open in their contempt for the film makers who loved their jobs only for the inflated salaries, the organization was pompous, very lazy, slow and altogether partisan, and without critical insight or a commercial instinct, a lot of aspiring film makers will lose a livelihood that was quite frankly a struggle to begin with in this country, this news will encourage the already huge migration of anyone in the UK film industry to the United States, and seedy world of Los Angeles.

So will the British Film Institute undergo a shift in priorities in order to take the strain.

A total of 183 films are listed on IMDB but about 900 films were produced by the UK Film Council over the last ten years, with funds provided by UK National Lottery, out of the 900 films made only a few were Horror movies and one of them was the sequel 28 Weeks Later, investing in digital cinemas which has given Britain the most digital screens of any European country, As Variety reports, the UK Film Council has 75 staff, and roughly invested more than £160 million ($248 million) in Lottery funds over the past ten years, generating £700 million ($1 billion) at the box office worldwide.

Tim Bevan of the UK Film Council calls the move a “bad decision, People will rightly look back on today’s announcement and say it was a big mistake, driven by short-term thinking and political expediency, British film, which is one of the UK’s more successful growth industries, deserves better.

It is obvious the Tories are looking to take the UK back to the same level as the 1980′s under Margaret Thatcher making as many people as possible unemployed and also have no hope from oncoming onslaught of European migration, asylum seekers and illegal immigration plus moving jobs from the UK to India and the Far East, and tax increases in recoded levels, unlike the 1980′s we have no Coal Mining Unions striking over job losses to save the country.

The teaser trailer for The Prince of Darkness is open for viewing on the in-production page with a few images from the shoot, we hope to have the film completed before the end of the year, but who knows it may be 2011 before a final edit is complete.

An Iranian vampire return to England to take back his monarchy over the nation of Great Britain, but first he must kill off the last of the blood lines that kept him in-poisoned for the last 200 years.

We try to give the film a hammer horror feel, with lots of shadows and deep blacks with off colour whites, yes and before you ask the final edit will be in Black and White but without the film damage.

Coming this September There’s Always Wednesday, an Science Fiction film set in the Post Apocalyptic future, head over to our youtube page for an teaser trailer.

More information about the film will be posted soon with images and more.

Storyboarding for The Graveyard of Death Part III has begun, starting where Part II finished with the living dead overpowering the british military troops.

The deadly toxic infection has now broken out in the city, causing humans to devolve into the blood-thirsty living dead.

We plan to shoot the film over six weeks in the summer with two added weeks for editing, this will be the last part of the trilogy.

I will be trying posting once a week if i have the time, maybe with videos and photos from filming, i also have some new trailers that i never posted before which i will be uploading in the next few weeks.

The Graveyard of Death Part II will be released before march, the final cut of the movie was ready last year, but i never had time to remaster the audio into 5.1, and edit a few extras for the DVD.
