“There are two main goals for these contests: Fun and Glory.
Fun: You get only 4 days to create a cool image, based on the theme for the week.
Glory: After 2 days of voting, a winner is declared. The winner picks the theme for next week.”
Blender 3, Cycles, 4096 samples, filmic, volumetric fog, Resolve Studio for smoke compositing (I just couldn’t get the smoke simulation to do what I wanted)
I would do a poster for Gas Pump Girls but no time so would be almost all resources I didn’t model and probably get the challenge thread blurred ??? as would nearly any B-Movie poster. Also considered Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death poster.
Inspired by OLG’s Alien poster I might do derelict buildings with eerie Alien green light captioned “In Detroit no one cares if you scream”.
Often they are low-budget movies. Movies that can’t be taken too seriously but are still fun to watch, like Sharknado, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Sandsharks, The Blob, Zombeavers, and such… also probably Blair Witch Project.
I was also shocked it was listed as a B-movie. It is one of my favorites. I looked it up and it was a relatively low budget movie for its time. Still an amazing movie.
I think of B movies as mediocre or bad in all aspects except entertainment. Not intended to be art they appeal to simple emotions or drives. Maybe the “B” genre is an art style itself? They are fun and entertaining and don’t seem intended to be anything else.
Alien may be low budget but I certainly don’t think it is a B movie. It is high quality in all aspects. Just being a monster movie doesn’t make it a B movie.
I did not expect to find Snowpiercer (the movie) in the list of b-movies since the special effects are very well done. I guess b-movies are movies that don’t get massive amounts of promotion.
