How The LEGO Movie Was Built - 1 views

  • The truly surprising part about the LEGO Movie, which is far more entertaining than it has any right to be, is how it looks
  • the whole movie looks like it's actually made of stop-motion LEGO bricks.
  • The whole movie really is stop motion. Sort of. Okay, Internet, slow down. Technically speaking, a huge majority of the film was made on a computer by the animation team at Animal Logic. But. But. That CG animation was created according to the rules of classic stop motion. McKay explains that in order to achieve motion blur or certain effects, they would crib cheats and camera tricks from the stop-motion playbook. "We set ourselves up with a bunch of rules and limitations with how we animated the thing, because in CG you could do anything. You have 15,000 explosions and their arms can bend and stretch but we said, 'No, we're only going to move these figures in the seven points of articulation that a minifig can move in.'"

    Lego created their film using CG animation based on stop-motion. Technology meeting childhood toys meeting film.

    This was really interesting to me not only because Lego has suddenly taken over my son, body and soul, but also because I am fascinated with the practice of using new, cutting edge technology to make new stuff look old. Amazing! Thanks for posting, really fun to know how it's done!

    Especially interesting is the link to the 'making of' this film and the creative process that went into developing it with the collaboration of hundreds of artists and technology combined to create a movie unlike any other made before.

Digital Technology Is Making Its Mark in Cuba - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • The global boom in digital filmmaking has rippled across Cuba over the past decade, letting filmmakers create their work beyond the oversight of state-financed institutions. Independent movies have become a new means of expression in a country where, despite freedoms and economic reforms introduced by President Raul Castro since 2006, the state still carefully controls national press, television and radio, and access to the Internet is very limited.

Fingerprinting Movies - 0 views

  •  
    A video and discussion of a software used to take 'snapshots' from movie scenes. Once compiled, each movie has a unique 'fingerprint'. Strangely enough, many of the fingerprints resemble the over all feeling of the film. I particularly liked 'Alien'.

Rogue One: the CGI resurrection of Peter Cushing is thrilling - but is it right? - 0 views

  •  
    "We want to scan you, all of you, your body, your face, your emotions, your laughter, your tears. We want to sample you, preserve you. We want to own this thing called Robin Wright." I remember when I watched Star Wars with Friends no one could believe that Peter's Cushing's character was CGI. It is amazing to think of how far CGI has come and it will be interesting to see how it changes movies in the future
