Slightly Sticky Art

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, art today is very much the process and where the humanity lies within it. With technology able to produce incredible spectacles, the wonder and delight of art lies in the human sweat and artistry involved. This may be a public display to promote a Brazilian shoemaker, but you can’t deny the artistry involved. 350,000 Post It notes and 25 animators. Incredible. Don’t forget the “making of” video.

The Sound of TRON Legacy

Monday, December 6th, 2010

After watching the 20 minute preview of TRON Legacy last month, the one thing that surprised me was the audio — especially in the arena scene. It was  incredible. Of course the visuals were fantastic, but that goes without saying.

The new pitch

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

No doubt inspired by Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez’s success with Hollywood after his incredible Ataque de Panico took the Web by storm, other directors and studios are getting in on the action through the art of the short film. Both Azureus Rising and Cup of Tears are hoping to be made into feature-length films.
