"Who's Homer and..."

... What did he do to get himself "fixed"?

I've not seen questions concerning the little tilde' banner on teh right hand side of the page, but I'll head that question off at the pass!

So- firstly, the answer is "no"- FXHome has nothing to do with "the dog catcher" and it definitely has nothing to do with, ummmm... Well...

Okay- let's just say it has nothing to do with certain unpleasantries associated with "curbing one's mongrel tendancies..."

FXHome is the site of an English [Go UK! Could this be the next entertaining "British Invasion?"] group of people who have taken the film making/Special Effects scene in an effort to create software for the general purpose film afficianado and make it affordable so that special effects can be had by one and all!

Those in the know realize that when special effects are called for in a storyboard conference or a script notation, the abbreviation "FX" is used- well, it's no different here!

FXHome is a software suite of different programs [one of which is an "all encompassing" package] designed for use on the modest home or low budget professional's computer system.

Believe me when I say that some of what I've seen from students and hobbiests alike would rival many "professional" films that Hollywood has offered up!

In further installments, I hope to offer conversational prose here from the esteemed makers and caretakers of the FXHome group who continue to strive to keep their product usable, current and cutting edge throughout what in Hollywood would be considered a relatively short lifetime!

Stay tuned, True Believers! I guarrantee a 'first' concerning this amazing software and it's group of dilligent code warriors!

If you can't wait- feel free to run your mouse over the FXHomer Banner...

Find out for yourself what I and many like minded film makers and Special Effects wizards have already learned concerning this next step in the evolution of multimedia and film production!
