since '98

MAKE (visual)

MAKE (visual) made my day! The totally believable and funny tale they have built for the 2009 Palm Springs International ShortFest opener which combines multiple film making mediums to reflect diversity and offerings (3D animation, stop motion, live action, etc) just blew me off my chair and made me ROFL.

Awesome movie!

Bria and team, hats off! You do our industry proud!

HOME sweet home

HOME, a movie by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, is a must see documentary with imagery that will simply take your breath away. Luckily the full feature (1:33 min) is available on the Home channel which includes supp footage (making of).

“Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth’s climate.”

Prep the popcorn, beverages, xtra seatings for friends, family this week-end and watch a truly moving movie.

Home our final frontier!

Tales of the Unexpected

Organic substance meets motion graphics artist Moresoon who generated the brilliant Tales of the Unexpected movie.

Trippy!

Visuals by Michael Paul Young

Soundtrack by Michael Cina and Ghostly International.

Rock Band trailer

They generated a fan frenzy unrivalled in the history of modern music and their discography is unrivalled as well. Wanna be part of the band? New game released that affords us just that.

Let’s hear a round of applause for the splendid trailer:

The Beatles: Rock Band

10 years left = 3650

3650 is a “short film for Mtv Worldwide to help raise awareness of the effects of global warming. A combination of live action and animation. A globe in a classroom was shot on 16mm which was then tracked and populated with cg toy-like clouds, cars, planes, and cities.”

And action!

STUDIOaka is a BAFTA winning animation studio based in London. They have done extraordinary commercial work for companies such as Guiness, BMW, MTV, BBC, and others. They have also created short films that are brilliant pieces of storytelling, emotionally charged, and oddly cute.

Lost and Found is an adaptation of Oliver Jeffers award winning book about a little boy who finds a lost penguin on his doorstep and decides to return him to the south pole.

_______

Varmints is an Oscar nominated adaptation of the book by Helen Ward. About a “small creatures struggle to preserve a world being lost forever through recklessness and indifference…” Absolutely beautiful.
