Alias:
TrainSet

Birthplace:
North Carolina, USA

"Trainset" was born in a small town in western North Carolina. Growing up poor, and from a broken home with no siblings, he chose to beat the odds. He knew that he was gifted as a true artist from the day he was born. He finished high school, and went on to learn some trades. Since he was a child, he has been drawn to the mechanics of how things work, and has became an accomplished master carpenter and builder. He also spent many years of his early life operating heavy equipment and bulldozers, which he still does occasionally.  Trainset was always intrigued of how movies were made, and in his early 30's he stumbled onto the abandoned "Abyss" movie set that would forever change his life. Since that day, Trainset has become an accomplished set builder and special effects artist. In 2013, he was hired as a set builder for the television show "Hillbilly Blood", and 3 days into production he was cornered by the producers and told that he was on the wrong side of the camera, and offered him a role in the series. Even though this was a reality show where he plays himself, he caught the acting bug.  Today, he splits his time between acting, working various departments within the movie industry, and building custom projects for close friends and his movie industry family.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
