Dragons Rise Up From Extinction

In this animated short created entirely in GTA V, dragons have returned and are ready to take back their world!

Grand Theft Auto 5 has opened a world of opportunities with their amazing Rockstar Editor which lets creators make films in their digital world, controlling cameras, editing, effects and all. Combined with mods made by users, even more possibilities arise.

This is not the first animated short Sikora made, he’s also done a Planet of the Apes parody trailer, The Hulk, Twister, and more! He’s currently working on a Star Wars short created entirely in the game.

“It really allows me to be creative in a digital world creating animated shorts that I would not be able to do otherwise. The Rockstar Editor is amazingly powerful and I am so happy that Rockstar has made this software available to everyone. It’s crazy, because it is included in the game, so anyone has the ability to make movie magic. It sounds simple to make a basic movie but it can get quite complicated especially if you follow filmmaking rules.” Sikora said.

Sikora Entertainment created a ten minute short film OCEANS about whales, back in February. “The film really shows off what you can do in this world. Your first impression may think it’s some violent, gun shooting game, but this film’s main characters are all sea life and it’s beautiful!” Sikora continued.

THE VISITOR Brings Back The Horror

The new horror film The Visitor premiered on BTV today that shows the raw documented footage of David Perez and the strange phenomenons that occurred in a house he was studying. The “found footage” film follows in the footsteps of 2010’s release of The Jealous Spirit which has surpassed over 1 million views and left viewers in fear.

David Perez, played by Elias Montalvo has a fascination with ghosts and paranormal things; after his aunt complains of strange things happening in her house, he sets off to uncover the mysteries and document it all with a small film crew.

“The scares are bigger, the footage is raw, dark, and creepy. Viewers already are trying to figure out what happened exactly in that house.” BTV said.

“Plans were to initially release the film in January 2015, but it was bumped up to December 12th since the video was ready to go ahead of schedule. It is not very typical to release a horror film in December, but we like to change things up a bit.” Sikora said.

Squirrels Take Over Christmas

With their first debut in The Egg of Darkness to the official merchandise store, The Squirrels are planning to take over BTV in 2015 with many more animated shorts.

The Egg of Darkness Returns!

After months of being in the dark, the announcement of the re-release excited fans for the November release.  The film was bumped up to October because production was moving much faster than planned. Finally on October 15, it debuted on BTV with new characters, new animation enhancements and more!

“We put well over 100 hours of work into this re-release, it was an exhausting amount of work and I could not be any more proud of this movie.” Sikora said.

Egg of Darkness Is Returning!!!

In a huge surprise announcement today, director William Sikora unveiled his plans for bringing back the smash hit The Egg of Darkness to BTV.

I am beyond excited to be bringing this film I worked so hard on back to the world. Due to the cease and desist from Rovio using their characters in our fan film, we were forced to take it down, sadly they didn’t like what we created but we know the fans loved it. It took a lot of deliberation, but I am happy to say that the project is already in production being re-imagined with our lovable Squirrel characters and I am certain the fans are going to enjoy it just as much as before! We are also throwing in a few surprises for those who have seen it before. Sikora said.

The film will retain the original voice actors and keep the story the same, except for a few tweaks in animation and seeing the birds as squirrels instead.  The Egg of Darkness will be globally re-released this November exclusively on BTV.  The director also unveiled a new trailer which gives fan a peek into the epic adventure awaiting them.
