About me: Happy Holidays from ProbotProductions.com! I'm
DAMON
WELLNER
,
a filmmaker and effects designer trying to make it in Hollywood. My small production
company, Probot Productions, specializes in miniature movies and effects. I've
made several parodies and shorts starring action-figures and dolls for cable access
TV and the internet. For lots more movies and info, check out my website: www.probotproductions.com ALIEN
5² is the movie i'm most proud of.
My fanfilms led to a commissioned job making Star Wars action-figure movies for
Hasbro, Inc. A dream of mine came true when I got to make the Official toy version
of STAR WARS: A New Hope!
My movies are somewhat controversial due to their unauthorized use of copyrighted
characters, etc.
Though most people agree that my movies are legal because they are parodies,
the subject is currently being debated in our higher education system. My movies
are an example of what's being called a new artform, Media
Convergence. My movies and website have been included on the syllabus of
several schools including M.I.T.,
and the University of
Wisconsin which shows ALIEN
5² in class and includes it in the final
exam.
Though my passion is in miniatures, I have a lot of experience on full sized sets as well. Check out my credits on IMDb. I have worked on Telly award winning commercials and learned visual effects from Academy Award winning effects masters. I have also produced, shot, and directed a full size TV spot for a local business.
Probot Productions is currently in pre-production on an all original animated
feature that will take the company beyond the realm of fanfilms and into uncharted
territory, blending old-school and digital effects in our own unique style to
create a comic-like animated universe.
Who I'd like to meet: People who love toys and aren't ashamed to admit it. People who quantify the value of their toys by how much they HAVE played with it, not HAVEN'T played with it. FREE YOUR MIB TOYS NOW!
"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
