A few weeks ago I got a comment on a video I uploaded featuring elements of the Creepshow diorama I was working on for bavastudio. It was a solid piece of outreach for a coming event, to be sure, but I appreciated they were upfront about that but also gave the diorama some love and offered some much needed encouragement:
Hey Jim! I’m hosting an event called the Creepshow Beach Show on the beach where they shot the “Something To Tide You Over” segment from the movie. It’s vendor market and movie screening with a replica of Ted Danson’s head in the sand for photo ops. Came across your awesome diorama and wanted to invite you up to Seaside Heights, NJ for the event on May 17th–it’s free! The fun begins at 4pm! More info at CreepshowBeachShow.com. Keep up the good work! – Nick
It’s fun knowing people stumble upon the video of the diorama, but even funner that Nick has built an entire event around my favorite episode of Creepshow. Fan culture is alive and well. The event kicks off in just a couple of hours, and if I were back in the States there’s no place I’d rather be. Also, the event poster is brilliant, I’m gonna have to see if I can get that printed on glossy paper and hang it somewhere in the studio.

Heck that should project a live stream from your bavastudio! That’s brilliant. I was impressed the they had a domain, but alas, it’s just a redirect to Facebook (how creepy).
How can you miss this? A screening on the beach! Live music from the movie. And a photo op with Ted Danson’s head! And how cool a sponsor is a local video rental store.
I too was a bit deflated when the domain pushed back to Facebook, but what can you do. If I was going to come back for anything, you would thing this was it.
Also, I do need to figure out the live stream of the diorama, but that might not be for a little bit, I am so deep in the perspective rabbit hole that that would just add another wrinkle that MBS would ride me about 🙂
