DISQUS

very cool... too bad i got a D80... lol

I did the same thing you did at first... shooting for coverage. But more and more I switched to shooting for the cut. I haven't done it in awhile, but that's still my preferred technique, and I sometimes use shot lists or story boards to make sure I get what I want for the editing room. The more you do it the easier it gets to cut the thing together in your head as you shoot.

I also agree with you. If you have a single camera, a mix of shooting for the cut and shooting coverage is probably best. Shoot with a plan for what you'll need and get all those shots. If there's extra time, shoot a bit of coverage for some extra options incase things don't look the way you had originally envisioned when you get to editting.

Wow that's so cool... she's kinda like your hair idol... lol. I love it cause your hair drawings are so awesome.

WOW! That's crazy yo!

Where'd you come up with that nifty toothbrush inking process?

lol... the whole time i was like "wow that's so risky... what if it hits a car?"

COOL!

yup... black and white works for that... i think the color correction title at the end's funny though ;)

I'd have to see it in context.

I've got nothing to say except "wow!"

I love it! hahahaha.

Dude you posted my favorite! I've been a big fan of this one since my college days. I own it on DVD ;) Was originally done on IMAX. I remember that being a big deal because at the time I think it was the only claymation piece shot on that medium. IMAX offered a new vantage point on the clay. You could see all the little finger prints, etc.

LOL! that is too funny.

That is so cool! Awesome entry! Your hair is so cool!

I love Aardman! Good old Creature Comforts :)

awwwww... :)

I once heard of an art exhibit called "the lights go on and off". All it was was a room where the lights went on... and then they went off. Go ahead... Google it. ;) If that's considered art, then I guess so is this. For that matter my comment here is also a work of art. I expect royalty checks and a bag of skittles from all those who reproduce it.

AWESOME! I love it... fractals, fluid dynamics, wind, particle effects ;)

My first thought was to write "c'est tres magnifique"... and then i realized the page is in FRENCH! Hahaha...

I don't think ninja ever is fully awake penguin. A ninja never sleeps... at least the ninja we know doesn't.


Ninja, I hear ya. It wouldn't bother me either if he lifted the concept, but he lifted the drawing itself. Yikes!


And honestly.... look at the changes this person did make. Looks like some very rudimentary Illustrator paths to me (ehm... hello rounded corner rectangle) ;)


sigh... i guess i have a pet peeve about plagarism of all kinds. I don't like it when someone tries to get by on the work of others. I've been burned by that before too, and it's not so fun when you put so much work into something, and so one else tries to claim credit.

No need to appologize. That is ridiculous that someone would do that. It's one thing to reappropriate something and make it your own artistic work, pay respect artistically to an artist you admire, build on the work of someone who came before you, or in some way satire a popular work of art.

This is anything but a proper example of that. This person copied... blatantly copied your work with almost no changes at all, tried to pass it off as their own, and even went so far as to enter it into a contest.

I'm glad you're taking it in stride. And I really respect that. I'd probably be the same way, but I'm also glad you posted this. What this person did was definitely the wrong thing to do. I just hope this person knows that and understands why.

that's awesome!

Reminds me of that scene in the iRobot* movie where the robot draws the picture of its dream. Nice to see robots with a "creative" side.

*Personally i prefered the book of course, particularly because the movie was nothing like the book ;)

My own opinion of it after I saw it... i think this was my actual quote "an enjoyable if not somewhat formulaic film". It's a formula, but what's wrong with that? I agree people expect Kevin Smith when they see a movie of his, and this film wasn't his norm. But it's endearing and entertaining.

The more major reason why Jersey Girl flopped I think (in the box office anyway) was the casting of J-Lo... she was barely in it, but her credit on the project following the failure of Gigli was a PR nightmare. Smith said that a bunch of times. I think I remember reading somewhere that he actually shot his movie first, but it was released after Gigli. I might be wrong about that. If i'm not... sucks though. Talk about bad timing.

When I first got interested in film and started trying to watch more stuff... I definitely had the filmmaker snob attitude. Everything had to be artsy and pushing the envelope or it was no good. Man did I love a good crane shot!

But film's about much more than that. It's about entertainment and eliciting an emotional response. In the artsy / edgy film movement, it's easy to lose sight of that. What's wrong with a film that's just enjoyable? ;) I miss the old-school steven spielberg popcorn movies... haha.

Honestly even the least edgy, least artsy film out there can still be solid entertainment and I have great respect for anyone who can direct a film like that. It's hard work.

WOW. I'm very impressed. A vector tracing tool that actually WORKS! I never thought I'd see the day :)

Happy Thanksgiving Ninja and Penguin.
