Crave Online Frankenstein's movie history:
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Much like the monster himself, Frankenstein's screen history has had many disparate parts since Boris Karloff first lumbered into cinemas playing the character from Mary Shelley's novel in 1931. With I, Frankenstein in theaters Friday, we talked with noted horror hounds to dig up the good, the bad and the plain ugly. Click to read full story.

When all you have is a big green wall behind, sometimes you just don't know what kind of movie you're really making.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Filmmaking is such a chaotic, haphazard process that it's nearly impossible for the people involved to tell if the movie is going to be good or not. Scenes are filmed out of order, much of what you shoot is going to get cut, and you have to trust that whatever effects fill in the big green wall behind you are going to look good. So maybe it's not all that surprising that some of the stars of your favorite movies had no goddamned idea what film they were even making.

Every January the Sundance Film Festival takes over Park City, Utah, but since 1995 the town has also played host to the festival's younger upstart sibling: Slamdance. Initially founded by a group of filmmakers who weren't accepted into Robert Redford's showcase, the Slamdance Film Festival has gone on to become a vital event in its own right — and one of its early discoveries was Christopher Nolan.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
PARK CITY, Utah — Filmmakers who turn to crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter andIndiegogo typically use campaign money for shooting and production. But getting a movie made is only one part of the filmmaking process: It still needs to be marketed. Video-sharing platform Vimeo, which gets 149 million unique visitors a month, is offering $500,000 to crowdfunded filmmakers in need of marketing help.

MovieMaker correspondent Jeff Meyers brings us a behind-the-scenes look at independent film's finest, the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
This year he’s worried. He has 18 tickets but the festival has instituted a new online wait-list system. Here’s how it works: You download the Sundance app, wait two hours before the film of your choice opens its wait-list (there’s a count down timer), and pray you hit the request button quickly enough to get a number. Or that the system doesn’t kick you out. Or the system doesn’t overload. Your mileage may vary. One thing is for sure, all festival long you find yourself watching people groan and moan as they desperately stab at their cellphones. Click to read full story.

Design Starts Here is my graduation project for the MA Graphic Moving Image course at London College of Communication. From my research into the motion design and graphic design industries, I have often discovered that many people place too much of an emphasis on software. I wanted to express in my short film how good design is in fact about coming up with ideas – that often start from pencil and paper – not just the tools at your disposal. Echoic Audio kindly provided music and sound design for 'Design Starts Here' and they have done an amazing job. echoicaudio.com

Using a 3D substance would be easier when manufacturing electronics, but the newly studied material has a bad habit of bubbling and turning to powder when exposed to air.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Graphene, that 2D sheet of carbon atoms with some impressive qualities, has its flaws. Namely, it can’t block electricity from flowing, which makes its chances of being incorporated into solar panels slimmer. Scientists are working on ways to tweak it to be more compatible, but they’re also on the lookout for alternatives that perform just as well. Click to read full story,

Incredible digital animation brings master paintings to life
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
From hazy Pre-Raphaelite beauty to shadowy baroque allegory, this short film weaves hundreds of years of art history into an amazing and unsettling narrative of human beauty. Directed and animated by Rino Stefano Tagliafierro (previously at BB), it is "a path of sighs through the emotions of life, a tribute to the art and her disarming beauty." Click to watch.

This is my absolute favorite video on the internet! Every time I see it on tumblr, I reblog it! This artists uses digital animation to bring old paintings to life.
There's something so chilling about this video. Paintings are not supposed to move, and seeing them do gives me goosebumps. The girls' painted eyes stare back at me, and I am pulled into a scene I would never think I would be pulled into. It makes me feel so peaceful. The addition of the soft music is also lifting.
I would not know about this video had it not been on my Tumblr dashboard; this is a perfect example of how we can be exposed to new forms of art daily. Further, it allows us to make art in completely new ways. If the baroque painters featured in the video were still around to see their works come to life, I think they would be ecstatic.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
With 3D fading into oblivion, the big news in televisions these days is ultra-high definition, TV-makers' quest to quadruple the resolution of the average high-def flat panel found in most U.S. homes. Called 4K resolution, it can be stunning, with deeper colors and a picture that many people often equate to "real life." The new higher-resolution is expected to expand slowly in 2014. Netflix plans to stream some content at 4K resolution this year, and Amazon announced it will shoot all of its original series in 4K ultra-HD starting this year. Click to read more.
