Vimeo starts funding indie films to broaden its on demand platform | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Vimeo is offering film makers $10,000 to sell movies on its website. But for now, the offering is only available to select few.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Vimeo is debuting its own take of film funding at the Toronto International Film Festival this week: Film makers whose feature-length movies premiere at the festival can get a $10,000 advance if they agree to distribute their films through Vimeo On Demand, the site’s paid streaming offering that launched at SXSW earlier this year.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Vine and Instagram have provided unique platforms for users to showcase their creative ability. While a few seconds with a cellphone camera seems very limiting as a way to share videos, users continue to astound these social networking communities with their unique and clever approaches.

Dean Meyers's curator insight, September 5, 2013 7:48 AM

Handmade stop action videos and other visual goodies in the 6-second format are becoming extremely popular and probably the greatest source of Vine's version of viral spread of content.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Everybody loves blowing up major cities in widescreen action movies. Wholesale municipal destruction looks great in 3-D and even better in IMAX, and every movie needs those "trailer moments" regardless of story or plot. But are are nine questions we wish film-makers would ask before destroying another city. Click for full story.

Not-So-Scary Movie: Hell Baby is Horrifically Unfunny
New York Observer
In some respects, Hell Baby, the co-directing debut from duo Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon (Reno 911, The State) had the desired effect of a scary film.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The plot is passable: A yuppie couple moves into a “bad” neighborhood in Louisiana, and, before long, strange things start happening. Old women appear naked in the shower, apparently unaware that the Overlook Hotel had a bathtub. Neighbor F’resnel (Mr. Key) pops up around every corner—don’t worry, he’s let himself in—while very-pregnant wife (Leslie Bibb) starts having weird cravings and communicating with ghost dogs. Before you can say “Rosemary’s twins!” she’s chopping up the bodies, at which point Vatican City sends its men in black (Mssrs. Lennon and Garant) to investigate the phenomenon with the local police (Mssrs. Huebel and Scheer).

Emotion and the Self in Games

Emotion and the Self in Games | Machinimania | Scoop.it

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

The poet, novelist, screenwriter, playwright and games writer will find similar rhetorical devices being applied in different ways.

 

What sort of emotions am I talking about? In his essay on emotion in film, film theorist Ed Tan speaks about the difference between what he describes as ‘artefact emotion’ and ‘fiction emotion’ (Tan). Artefact emotions are ‘non-empathetic’ and occur in response to sensory pleasures such as the appearance of the actors, costumes, scenery, and special effects.

The Digital Rocking Chair's curator insight, September 4, 2013 12:40 AM


Christy Dena:  "There are some books that carry you along a journey until your tears make it impossible to read. Films and television shows, too. Games evoke emotion in a similar way to non-interactive works, with some exceptions – the greatest difference being emotion facilitated through action" ...

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

It’s a true point that the Canadian film industry can’t support the production of big-budget features, a common complaint from Canadian film makers of all stripes. But how can the animation community support the production of completely independent features, especially in a genre that is so time-consuming and labor intensive?

But before the game maker could deploy the black-ops protagonist of its hit "Splinter Cell" videogames into other media platforms like novels, television and film, it needed the help of Starlight Runner Entertainment."
