No cinematic topic in the last few years has instigated as much -- or as intense -- debate as 3D. The jury is still out on how it bridges the art and science of motion pictures, or whether it does so at all. Via Nicko Gibson
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Filmmakers like James Cameron have stated that 3D will change the way a film is made, period. Neuman added weight to this belief by saying that in 3D, the screen is thought of less as a flat surface and more as a stage, complete with a proscenium arch. This arch is the primary outlet for letting audiences "into" the frame. It is vital to the composition of the shot, and works as the "window." Click for more.

Crazy Movie-Inspired Halloween Costumes (PHOTOS)
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
If you're still struggling for inspiration, there's no better place to turn than the movies. Some fans shell out big bucks for authentic Hollywood-quality disguises, while others are a little more ingenious with their DIY interpretations. But the end result is always a crowded street filled with monsters, superheroes, fantasy warriors, and living cartoons that are ready to party. That's the best part of Halloween: there's no wrong choice* when it comes to expressing your creativity. Click for video and full article.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
The Japanese band Sour just released a music video, "Life is Music," animated entirely using compact discs. The band initially estimated it would take 300 discs to complete the video, but ended up using 189. The discs, imprinted with shapes and figures, were rotated to sync with the song's 105 beats per minute in order to create a phenakistoscopic effect that makes the images appear to move. It's a simple animation technique that dates back to 1832, but Sour uses it skillfully. Click to watch.

Is it a bad thing? Well, maybe. It seems to be a very entertaining action script anyway. Have a look at this teaser/trailer and Judge your self. Plot: Frankenstein's creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
"The New America" is a short animation in which every frame was created by laser engraving its unique artwork onto a solid block of maple. Once complete, the entire sequence of +800 frames was then photographed and assembled into this motion piece. This piece was funded by really kind friends and supporters via Kickstarter. After many unforeseen issues and delays, the entire process took about two years. As seen in the video, each frame is unique. Aside from the design of each frame itself being distinct, small variances that naturally occur in the laser engraving process as well as the different wood grain of each frame naturally created subtle shifts of the position of the artwork. An effect that I was particularly interested in and that could naturally be achieved in digital assembly, but that I was much more excited about re-creating with real objects. The music was carefully crafted by my amazing friends at World Gang - music.world-gang.com The abstract storyline showcased in this piece is a concoction of a variety of ideas and can perhaps be described as a union between concepts and experiments born during the Situationist movement and real life events experienced during the last few years in American society. Particularly the duality between the economic downturn and the shift in values and beliefs of many citizens.
