I’ve seen some funny things in my time, I really have. Star Wars kid has been and gone, as have the GI Joe parodies and a number of other internet funnies. However, short film-maker Richard Gale has completely blown away everything I’ve seen and set a new standard. If anything beats this in the next [...]
What? TWO posts containing cool videos during the course of one evening?! The human mind simply cannot handle such an entertainment overload! Well, you can at least try. Two guys have recreated part of ‘The Matrix’ using Lego and still photography to produce a stop-motion animation of the ‘bullet time’ scene that was broke new [...]
I came across this short film thanks to Sci-Fi Wire, and am absolutely blown away by the quality of it. Big frakkin’ robots attacking a city, with brilliant camera work & editing as well as outstanding special effects. The director of commercials in his native Uruguay, Fede Alvarez has now received the green light from a [...]
Just got back from watching the Reds get a draw against CSKA Moscow whilst playing Football Manager ‘09 with Mister Stevens, and realised I’m overdue a webblogthing. Due to the miracle that is the human body providing me with hands, and the magic of the Interwebs, I can write one using my grasp of the [...]
Morning! I’ve had a lot of distraction over the past week, which amongst other things has affected by ability to Get Things Done ™ and the original film shoot I had planned for my Virgin Media Shorts/final college project short film never happened. Now, the deadline is edging ever closer (this coming Monday!) and I [...]
Heading out soon, and just wanted to post a quick update in regards to the short film I’m producing for the Virgin Media Shorts 2009 competition. This afternoon, I Tweeted/Facebooked asking for suggestions as to what kind of educational advice the public service parody will be dishing out, as I was looking for inspiration as [...]
When I go into college tomorrow, I’ll have eighteen days to ensure that my video entry into the Virgin Media Shorts 2009 competition is completed and uploaded. We would normally have six weeks to produce a piece of work, but as we have run over on other assignments over the last few months, we’re left [...]
I previously blogged about the competition back in April, and it was something I really wanted to enter, but more for the exposure on their website than to win the actual prize. This morning, we received our brief for the final assignment of the course entitled ‘Digital Storytelling’, and we have been encouraged to follow the [...]
Every Friday morning we have a class with a second tutor, on the Interative Media & Moving Image course I’m currently on. For my final project with my main tutor, I’m producing ‘Park of the Dead’, my short horror film that I’ll be writing a lot more about from this week onwards. With the second tutor, [...]
Four words: HOLY.MOTHER.OF.SH*T. EDIT: Updated video link, seems like the latest trailer is being pulled from the likes of YouTube, Vimeo etc very quickly. Related Links: Official Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen website
I got wind of this a couple of weeks ago, but only actually had a look at it today. Budding British film makers have until June 22nd to submit their short films of up to 2mins 20secs in length, to be entered into the Virgin Media Shorts competition. Having had a look at some of the [...]
Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License. This was a short film conceived very late into the ‘City Shorts’ assignment. Initially we had planned to shoot a Clerks-esque film in a local Blockbuster video; only to have them withdraw access after initially saying yes. Don’t rely on difficult locations if [...]
