The best of Peter Sellers "The party"

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

An Indian actor screws up royally during the filming of a costume epic. When the 'Fire this guy' list gets confused with the studio head's guest list for a party, he appears there and everyone assumes he must belong. A great many sight gags and misunderstanding gags are played out at the party where the rest of the film takes place.

High Frame Rate and ‘The Hobbit:’ The Allure of Middle-Earth is Crystal Clear at 48fps

High Frame Rate and ‘The Hobbit:’ The Allure of Middle-Earth is Crystal Clear at 48fps | Machinimania | Scoop.it
In the first frames of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the camera briefly lingers on a pair of hands in close-up as they light a candle. As the small flame flares, the camera pulls back to show the aged Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm), and the seemingly mundane sequence concludes with a shot that might be unlike anything else you’ve ever seen in a theater.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

"I can’t understand anyone with a real interest in cinema avoiding The Hobbit in HFR. It has to be seen; 48fps is a new way of looking at Middle-Earth, and at movies. There’s a place for this technology. OK, for a horror film, maybe not. (I would, however, love to see some filmmaker nail it.) But I imagine a film like Lincoln, shadowy as it is, shot in HFR, and wonder what it would be like to see Daniel Day-Lewis’s eyes gleam in a new light. That, too, might be spectacular."

Comic Book Think Tank: The Future of Digital Comics? | Machinimania | Scoop.it
A new platform for digital comics is exploring the world of Tolkien while expanding the very idea of what a comic book can be.

Via The Digital Rocking Chair
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Digital comics is a medium that is still finding its footing. 2012 was a banner year, and saw the launch of new and progressive approaches to exploring the seemingly infinite possibilities of the digital canvas. One such launch was Comic Book Think Tank, spearheaded by Ron Perazza and Daniel Govar.

Retro Thing: Moog: A film by Hans Fjellestad

Retro Thing: Moog: A film by Hans Fjellestad | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Each generation, there are only a few lucky/brilliant/sufficiently eccentric people who manage to dramatically inspire the world. Dr. Bob Moog was one such character.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Hans Fjellestad released this 70 minute documentary in 2004. It highlights Moog's obsession with sound and artistic creation, drawing from his wisdom with commentary from the likes of Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson and Herb Deutsch. If you're a synthesizer aficionado, it is definitely worth watching.

The second trailer for Warner Bros. Man of Steel is now online!
Directed by Zack Snyder, Man of Steel is a reboot of the storied Superman franchise. Warner Bros.'s last attempt ...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

For one thing, Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight trilogy, is involved as a producer as well as the co-author of the story on which the screenplay is based. For another, the cast, which includes Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Michael Shannon, carries a gravitas we haven't seen in films since, well, The Dark Knight trilogy.

 

I do think it's one of those movies you either Love or Hate.

"The best animated film of the year is about a stick figure named Bill. Bill is the star of It’s Such a Beautiful Day, the latest from independent animator Don Hertzfeldt. Hertzfeldt is known for making sick, hilarious shorts films about endless dental procedures and balloons that turn on toddlers. As those descriptions suggest, his earlier shorts, which might be described as Looney Tunes directed by Franz Kafka, aren’t for everyone. Ironically, this was more or less the point of his 2000 short Rejected, and yet it still won over enough members of the Academy to get nominated for an Oscar."

Kafka’s Nightmare Tale, ‘A Country Doctor,’ Told in Award-Winning Japanese Animation

Kafka’s Nightmare Tale, ‘A Country Doctor,’ Told in Award-Winning Japanese Animation
in Animation, Books, Literature | December 5th, 2012 1 Comment

Here’s a good story for a cold December night: Franz Kafka’s cryptic, hallucinatory tale of “A Country Doctor.”

Written in Prague during the icy winter of 1916-1917, Kafka’s story unfolds in one long paragraph like a fevered nightmare. “I was in great perplexity,” says the narrator, an old doctor, as he sets out in a blizzard at night on an urgent but vague mission. But he can’t go anywhere. His horse, worn out by the winter, has just died and his servant girl is going door to door pleading for help. A surreal sequence of events follow.
