trick r' treat

Michael Dougherty directed this awesome looking horror flick, its exactly my cup of tea, as its similar intone to EC comic books and the Creep Show.



warner brothers has apparently messed about with the distribution so who knows when were going to get it here in the UK. their also hints the film will go straight to DVD, which is a real shame as their are so many terrible horror films getting distribution.

I got an awesome book about the filming of the movie which you can buy over at amazon.

The film was based upon an animation Dougherty made while studying 'seasons greetings'



This really is a similar tone to the Johnny Caddilac story im fleshing out.

ticking along..

Ive set up camp at the parents as i have too look after my little pooch for a bit (i didn't want her to go to the kennels). I have changed some aspects of the animation to fit in with the overall tones of it. The trees aren't all going to be the same color and will tie more to the scrap book feel I want it too have. Ive also made the lighting better :)











Didn't mean to post this on here arr well carry on...

this is possibly the best zoo ever

magdalena bors is an amazing find creating landscapes out of.. well anything







Lisa Mitchell not only a great talent.. I love this video its so simple yet effective :)

Right..

Ive got to keep on trucking with this blogg.


I am currently ill at the moment. So when ive not been compositing ive been rendering or watching JJ ABRAMS new tv show Fringe



While I am enjoying the show I still cant think of Joshua Jackson as Pacey from Dawson creek.

Im also watching the new heroes, im wrestling with it and my final conclusion is its better than the second by a little bit, but I really really hate it when writers have obviously thrown their papers up in the air and see what lands on top. Their is just to many character changes.




With Chalie Kauffmans new movie about to come out



I watched Adaptation for the first time, I have no idea why I haven't seen this before I love Spike Jonze I think Nick Cage put me off for some reason. This was by far my favorite cage performance followed by Raising Arizona.

Björk new video is immense everything has been thrown into this. She just constantly churns out great videos.




Also when Disney was scary




Carlos Lascano does the most wonderfull animations crashing several style of animation together to form the below, i always like the way he does the eyes.

Sorry

Also I thought the Kung Fu panda intro was awesome, and probably one of the best thing about the movie.



Also my anticipation has been building up for the Watchmen movie so Ive been watching the animated series


If you havent seen the trailer yet, I suggest you do

My Winnipeg

This kind of reminds me of my first animation not to be taken in pawn. Its like a bash of visuals that translate a time in the directors life. i




Here is the director talking about this movie.




Now I have seen these I really want to watch his older film The Saddest music

Burning Candy

This year has been quite a good year for Leeds art with guest speakers in the first year their was none. First Marvels Barry Kitson gave an inspiring insight into the work of the marvel artists. Chris Osburn showed up the week before to set up the Burning Candy Exhibtion featuring James Jessop, Sweet Tooth and Cyclops.






The talk was exstremely inspiring and entertaining the part I liked the best was where James divuldged into his first experiment with exstacy, I could see the principle squirming in his seat. most amusing.


Also thank god someone has done something with that awfull castle thing outside our college, they need to keep this up.
