The value of design in animation

The value of design in animation | Machinimania | Scoop.it
I'm sure it come as no surprise to hear at the Design Council, we're always thinking about the value of design. In fact, with our aim to 'champion design that improves lives', you probably expected...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

First i read it wrong. It's an animation about the value of design, not the other way around. 

I post it because it actually have some value if you work have to do with getting message out. Nothing beat Animation to tell a story and get it out in the public. Here is a great example. Click to watch it. :-)

This Impossible Software Can Make 3D Models From a Single Photograph | Machinimania | Scoop.it
It was predicted that computer graphics would one day give everyone the ability to create their own blockbuster film. But the software used for modern visual effects is still pretty complicated for the average user.

Desenho 3D a partir de fotos.Veja o video

"

Demonstrado na Siggraph Asia 2013, o software requer apenas que o usuário defina as três dimensões de um objeto em uma foto ao passar junto a eles com um cursor do mouse. Tudo o resto, a partir de geradores de texturização e do modelo 3D, para extraí-lo do foto 2D, são todos tratados pelo software. Ela acaba com a necessidade de scanners 3D, imagens múltiplas, interfaces complexas, e mais importante: talento artístico. [YouTube via Stu Maschwitz (Twitter)]"

Riddick TRAILER 2 (2013) - Vin Diesel, Karl Urban Movie HD

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Riddick TRAILER 2 (2013) - Vin Diesel, Karl Urban Movie HD

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.

Robocop gets rebooted in this big-screen MGM production from director José Padilha. The picture will once again surround a slain police officer (played by The Killing's Joel Kinnaman) who gets resurrected as a crime-fighting cyborg until memories of his previous life begin to make him doubt his corrupt corporate overlords. Gary Oldman co-stars as the doctor who suffers a crisis-of-conscience after bringing life back to the man in the form of a mechanical body and reprogrammed brain, while Samuel L. Jackson plays a larger-than-life media mogul.

Frame By Frame: The Art of Stop Motion | Off Book | PBS Digital Studios

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The magic of stop-motion animation has enthralled audiences for over a century, but with the advent of CGI, many thought it was at risk of extinction. Yet despite these fears, animators all over the world continue to manually create unique stories out of physical materials, be it clay, sand or paint, puppets or people. The amount of time and meticulous effort these animators commit makes stop motion uniquely impressive and refreshingly organic in a digital age, and have driven the art form's resurgence in film, commercials, and even on Vine!

Jamie Foxx as Super Villain Electro on Amazing Spider-man 2 | Machinimania | Scoop.it
In case you haven’t heard by now, Jamie Foxx is having a pretty good year. He’s also stepping into the shoes of another Spidey supervillain for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie is scheduled for release in 2014 and new movies are already in the planning stages for 2016 and 2018. People who are fascinated with Spidey's villains will get their fair share of antagonism from Electro who appears in Marvel Comics and is played by Jamie Foxx as well as the likes of Rhino played by Paul Giamatti.

When a wolf menaces the duck - as well as grandfather's fat cat and an ill-flying bird that Peter has befriended - Peter bravely tries to tree the wolf.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Last week we featured 1937′s The Tale of the Fox, the crowning glory of inventive Russian filmmaker Ladislas Starevich’s work in puppet animation. But he didn’t always shoot puppets as we know them; at the dawn of his career — and thus the dawn of Russian animation — he had to make use of what lay close at hand. Today we go back a couple decades further, to the time when Starevich (then known, before his immigration to Paris, as Władysław Starewicz) worked not as an animator but as the director of Kovno, Lithuania’s Museum of Natural History.

Six DC Comics stories that would make great animated features - Comic Book Resources | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

"Some might say we’re experiencing the Golden Age of superheroes in film, but in reality it’s just live-action catching up to animation. Warner Bros. Animation has been a trailblazer in that area, with 26 feature films based on DC Comics’ characters since 1993. And with the recent release of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox,based on the 2011 Flashpoint crossover, we’ve come up with a half-dozen other DC series or arcs Warner Bros. could (and should) look to for future animated films."

Andrea Deydén's curator insight, September 20, 2013 6:17 PM

Sé que soy über políticamente incorrecta, pero preferiría que hicieran The Red Son (donde Kal-El aterriza en la URSS en vez de EUA) en vez de la mitad de sus opciones. O sea, sí, la guerra fría ya no está "in", pero en verdad es un excelente multiverso. 

Además, ¿no hay películas referentes a los últimos días del héroe? ¿Superman Returns (2006) no suena ninguna campana?  Además esa película es súper aburrida... Si quisieran hacer una adaptación, la verdad es que yo la haría de Superman: Doomsday y explotaría EL cómic. Básicamente decir "La muerte de Superman" vende solo...

Ojalá nunca hagan nada relacionado con Justice League (además de la película que ya están haciendo porque... pues ya no hay remedio). Está súper comprobado que si quieren meter a tantos personajes en dos horas, van a fracasar. ¿Avengers? ¿X-Men First Class? (ambas películas que amo profundamente pero que son terribles con respecto al cómic) No, en serio no.

De Batman:Court of the Owls sí estaría bueno hacer una película. Bueno, siempre y cuando no la haga Ben Affleck.
