Watch: 70-Minute Animation Masterclass With Tim Burton Indie Wire Way back in 2010, just a few months removed from the wild success of his post-converted 3D take on “Alice In Wonderland,” Tim Burton visited the Bell Lightbox in Toronto as part of...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Here is a follow up post for those who haven't seen this yet.
Running just over an hour long, the video finds Burton giving feedback on the animated work by Canadian students, answering questions from the crowd, and talking about stop-motion animation. If you’re needing your Burton fix, this video’s sure to hit your sweet spot. And as always, this sort of generous amount of time with any filmmaker is usually fascinating and insightful.

Disney's Muppets Most Wanted opens in US theaters March 21, 2014! Like The Muppets on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Muppets Follow The Muppets on Twitte...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Disney's "Muppets Most Wanted" takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe's most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World's Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon. Disney's "Muppets Most Wanted" is directed by James Bobin and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Bobin co-wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Stoller, who is also executive producer with John G. Scotti. Featuring music from Academy Award®-winning songwriter Bret McKenzie, "Muppets Most Wanted" hits the big screen March 21, 2014.

The North West has long been something of an animation hotspot. When it comes to breathing life into drawings, making puppets talk and developing computer-generated images, we've always been ahead of the curve.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Paul Berry, the animator behind the Oscar-nominated The Sandman is remembered with a display of writings and photographs. With items from puppet makers, Mackinnon and Saunders, ITV and MOSI’s own collections, as well as such never-before-seen pieces, Creating the Illusion is a fascinating glimpse into the much-loved world of animation.

This is still some of the best work i have seen made with iClone (Old old version)
The amazing thing is that it's made only with basic elements from the software. It's so creative and show how to tell a story and entertain.

Watch a Hilarious New Animation of Patton Oswalt's Star Wars Filibuster Wired Building on what might be the best un-filmed (and probably un-filmable) Star Wars movie pitch yet, the animated version brings to life a lot of the great ideas from that...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Not long ago in a galaxy not very far away, Patton Oswalt was a guest on Parks and Recreation where he delivered an epic eight-minute pitch for Star Wars: Episode VII as a filibuster to a Pawnee bill. The full spiel didn’t make the cut, but NBC put it online and people went nuts over it. Now, thanks to Nerdist, there is a full-fledged animated version of Patton’s rant – complete with Marvel Universe character cameos.

Warner Bros. Is Doing a Merlin Movie, and It Has Nothing to Do With the BBC ...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
All we conclusively know about Warner Bros.’ Merlin so far is that the studio has hired Game of Thrones’ Dave Hill and Hanna‘s David Farr to write and that Donald De Line (I Love You, Man, Pain & Gain, Burlesque,… Green Lantern) will be producing. Variety notes that the film is “considered a top priority at the studio given its franchise potential,” so unless it’s a total flop we can probably expect to see a sequel or two.

Alex Andreyev explores dreamlike and otherworldly realms with cool representation and intense imagination. He lays out ideas and scenes the audience can en Via Michael Cornetto
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Alex explains, “…my works do not belong to me, I only take them from some informational environment and return them there.” This environmental approach allows the audience to view, enter and explore is painting in a raw and uninhibited way. Alex crafts scenes that, though fantastical, appear everyday and natural. My initial attraction to work was ignited by how they are all lit. Regardless if the light source appears natural or artificial (like when we can assume it comes from the sun or a human’ head), Alex allows the light to respond realistically to the other objects and people in the scene. Another important aspect is the vantage point that the viewer is given. Depending on the terrain, or absence of it, we are placed in a relatively logical spot (given the acceptance of abstracted physics). We are not confronted with his work, we are accepted into it like it is our own. - See more at: http://artsnapper.com/interview-alex-andreyev-his-visions/#sthash.KkOcf3jE.dpuf

1. Not thinking about basic infrastructure.
How do they eat? What do they eat? Who takes away the garbage? Who deals with their bodily wastes? How do they get around? What do the majority of people do to survive? You're not just constructing a society, you're creating an economy. People don't oppress each other for fun — usually, systems of hierarchy and oppression have an economic component to them. Maybe you need a lot of peasants to grow labor-intensive crops, or maybe you need lots of cannon fodder in your space war. Maybe your only source of protein is a weird fungus that needs to be tended by specially trained people. Maybe everybody's eating algae. In any case, there's nothing worse than a fictional world where there are elaborate social structures, which seem completely separated from the realities of food, shelter and clothing.

Having worked on an even smaller RPG project, I've had to build out and consider all aspects of our world both visually and wrt narrative. Responding to situations required designing the society mindset. Without that mindset, we wouldn't have known how to visually represent our world economically, socially aesthetically and politically.

If you like reading about visual art but don’t like spending the considerable sums required to build your own library of vintage exhibition catalogues, feel free to borrow from another collector. Or rather, feel free to borrow from two collectors, both based in New York, both of some repute: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Early last year, we announced that the Guggenheim had made 65 art catalogues [now increased to 99] available for free online, offering “an intellectual and visual introduction to the work of Alexander Calder, Edvard Munch, Francis Bacon, Gustav Klimt & Egon Schiele, andWassily Kandinsky” as well as “ other texts (e.g., Masterpieces of Modern Art and Abstract Expressionists Imagists) that tackle meta movements and themes.” (That same post includes instructions on how to use the Guggenheim’s archive.)
