What we will look at is a pretty darn cool video from a movie that demands the need to be digital. Tron: Legacy was born from one of the original fully-digital movies and in many ways carried out its charter splendidly. This video that shows some of the ways that the graphics were created takes us into a world that few get to see. When the veil is lifted, it’s clear that the technology used to create the movie is almost as amazing as the movie itself. Perhaps more so. But be warned, their are some light spoilers up ahead.
It’s definitely a digital age in movies as more and more are trying to meld real-life with computer generated effects to find the happy medium. There are those who believe that the trend is damaging the industry. We won’t explore that here. What we will look at is a pretty darn cool video from a movie that demands the need to be digital. Tron: Legacy was born from one of the original fully-digital movies and in many ways carried out its charter splendidly. This video that shows some of the ways that the graphics were created takes us into a world that few get to see. When the veil is lifted, it’s clear that the technology used to create the movie is almost as amazing as the movie itself. Perhaps more so. But be warned, their are some light spoilers up ahead. Tron: Legacy better not suck. So far Disney is pulling out all the stops—bringing back Jeff Bridges and young-ifying him on screen, spending around $170 million on the sequel to the movie that came out nearly 30-years ago, and hiring the intensely reclusive Daft Punk to score the soundtrack. All the moves have been solid so far, so Tron: Legacy better not suck. Disney released a new video today that is one part music video, and one part movie trailer. It is the second sampling of Daft Punk’s soundtrack, the first debuting on the official soundtrack’s website. The Daft Punk soundtrack has been delayed from its original November 22 date, and will now be released on December 7. The film Tron: Legacy will be released on December 17 in 3D and iMax. In the meanwhile, enjoy this stunning, uplifting trailer/track. Very cool to listen and hear! On October first, the open-source movie project of the Blender Foundation released third animated short on YouTube: Sintel. Five days later, the movie had already reached one million views. Previously released only at the Netherlands film festival (on September 27), Sintel’s success is as much due to its quality than it’s open-source nature. Sintel, which means glowing coal, is a fully open-source movie created by the Blender foundation with the use of the open-source application of the same name. Following Elephants Dream and Big Buck Bunny, the short movie is the third such project created by the Blender Foundation, and the fourth project overall. Apart from shorts, the foundation also released a game, Yo Frankie! based on their Bick Buck Bunny movie. I was impressed by the quality of the film. The images and the story represent an astounding leap from their previous films. Already, a team is working on a video-game adaptation of the same name that will be based on the movie’s storyline and built using the same program, Blender. As I see it, Sintel is a demonstration of the power of opensource, and what community-funded projects can achieve as proof that we don't need a multi-million-dollar commercial projects in order to create an epic movie! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I would guess, let the flood gates open as many will try to capitalize on the Avatar inspired look. Descendants featuring the voice work Whoopi Goldberg is one of those who will try to cash in the greatest all-time grossing movie in monetary terms. The CG animated film by Heiko van der Scherm will always be in the shadow of Avatar’s fame due to timing. This great little movie is reaping many awards as it plays many festivals and with good reason. The first trailer for the upcoming computer-animated film Rango features the voice of Johnny Depp, as a Hawaiian-shirt-clad chameleon with an identity crisis. Footage reveals a desert setting and characters, highlighting Rango as he tries to escape a dive-bombing hawk with a rock-like toad that comes to the lizard's aid and a Greek chorus of mariachi owls. The story follows the household pet heading off on an identity quest in a town called Dirt. Chances are you've never heard of JavaZone. And nobody is going to blame you for being unfamiliar with "Scandinavia's biggest meeting place for software developers." But we guarantee you that after watching the video below you'll never forget it. As part of its marketing campaign, and anti-Microsoft agenda, the conference put together a trailer for a fictional film called 'Java 4-Ever.' The three-minute and 17-second teaser nails every Oscar-seeking movie trailer trope perfectly while expertly (and geekily) prodding Microsoft's .net development framework. The highlight comes at about a minute and 20-seconds in -- you'll know it when you hear it. A movie about Second Life and gaming is screening at this year's prestigious Cannes Film Festival, which opens today. The name of the film is R U There, a Dutch/French production partly shot in Taipei, and partly in Second Life. It's about a professional gamer who falls in love with a beautiful Taiwanese girl, who invites him to deepen their relationship in the metaverse. Check out the immensely stylish trailer, which sort of suggests Wong Kar-Wai meets CounterStrike. Indie Game: The Movie is a feature documentary about video games, their creators and the craft. This teaser segment features Edmund McMillen of 'Team Meat' discussing his childhood, his games and the connections between. Find out more about IndieGame: The Movie at - indiegamethemovie.com Here's something I like most of all, talented people who know have to make interresting movies that look like they have been made by Steven Spielberg. With only a budget of 5000 dollars. Ricardo de Montreuil definately knew who to be resourceful, and creative at the same time in order to make such a beautiful movie. Definately worth a check! A twisted, funny, high-octane adventure, director Matthew Vaughn brings Kick-Ass to the big screen. Kick-Ass tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. |
