So I am really really pumped that Wes Anderson has made another movie (he has brought you such gems as The Royal Tennabaums, Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited and the Life Aquatic) and now he is releasing an awesome animation which looks superb. As my friend Ben said “i think my emotion directed towards wes anderson might supersede love.”
In case you didn’t know, our church is running a multimedia extravanganza called “SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE!” and yours truly is heading up the editing (along with trusty editors Matt Eastwood and Jordan Ironside) for this great four week event. It’s all part of our amazing month of August. You can check out:
www.myhillsong.com for the latest!
To help put things in perspective tho, we have to construct all the multimedia content for all 4 weeks of Sunday Night live by the end of this week! And we only got given the footage this week! So we’re in the maddest rush ever! haha but sufficed to say, it will be epic!
ok so I also got a bit bored in the week, and all this talk of the new twilight movie also got me in the photoshop mood. So this is Frank and I having a go at being the new asian characters in the new Twilight movie. I reckon they are tight? what do you reckon?
Well the film was shown and my mate Glenn Stewart’s amazing film “Immolation” picked up first place. Congrats Glenn!!! I would like to thank everyone involved in this film, it was a tremendous blessing to me personally and it was great to work with such a talented team!
For everyone else who wasn’t there, you can check out the film here:
The film has been made and has been submitted, but I dunno, I always felt like something was missing. Actually I was more concerned that the ending didn’t come across strong enough and that people will end up going “huh? I don’t understand what is going on here?”
Shooting went extremely well and I feel pretty confident that the message of the film will come across strong
I also found that storyboarding the film helped bring my directing skills into focus as it allowed me to focus on what was happening in the scene rather than thinking about what shot I would need next. I also find it invaluable because it allows to me to efficiently shoot things out of order and not have to redo setups.
I was actually reminded the other day that the new star trek movie is coming out!!! woohoo and directed by none other than the legendary J J Abrams (LOST, ALIAS, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III). Does anyone know if this is an odd one or even one?
haha
WARNING: There is a lot of techno babel in this blog. So I apologise in advance. However if you speak geek read on…
I finally got round to Ander’s place today to try out the 5D. I also brought around a wally dolly and a tripod. After some quick shooting (and wonderful dinner later – thanks Alyssa and Anders!), I gathered the files and toddled home to see what I could do with them.
As of this year, our church announced that they were having an annual Easter Film festival which to me is somewhat of a dream come true ( I honestly have been waiting for ages to get a reason to make a film for church!). Sufficed to say I was pretty excited.
