Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

"I’m really excited to share this list, as I managed to find some fantastic examples of murals, that can’t be found on other lists of this kind. My favorite  works are the Valencia stuff from a famous street art group Escif, but also the one painted by Andreyante AO in Nizhny Novgorod, and the mural in Łódź created by a Polish street artist Barys."

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Remarkably, Sentch says that before embarking on the project, he had no experience of 3D printing, though his knowledge of CAD – he’s using a TurboSquid CAD rendering of the car for his project – is of course proving invaluable in the process.

Spectacular Steampunk Sculptures Made of Cardboard

Spectacular Steampunk Sculptures Made of Cardboard | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Creative director and multifaceted artist Lance Oscarson of Vintedge Artworks crafts amazing mythical beasts and mechanical men out of cardboard.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Worth a visit - click the headline.

 

Having worked with a number of mediums in several professions over the decades—from paper and metal to leather—Oscarson has embarked on a new venture that seeks to resurge specific subsets of the cyperpunk genre. His collection of cardboard art incorporates the basic thematic elements, including a mechanical presence of technology fused with a vintage aesthetic. The artist even adds a metallic appearance to his cleverly crafted sculptures, heightening their visual effect.

Asil's curator insight, August 3, 2013 5:46 PM

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

This is the Walt Disney Company’s Animation Research Library(ARL). It’s the top-secret home to 64 million pieces of artwork and production material, stretching back to foundational character Julius the Cat (1924), and soon to encompass work from the latest big-screen Disney venture, Frozen. From Snow White to Bambi to The Little Mermaid to Wreck-It Ralph and multiple points in between. That’s a lot of cartoonery, and a lot of history.

Is Turbo the death of animation as we know it? http://t.co/XuX6FE6FPY #animtip
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

" We all have an idea for a film or story. Turbo made it to theaters, and chances are your idea and my idea have not yet. Turbo’s time for improvement has passed, but we still have much work to do. Do yourself, and our industry, a favor and get to your local theater, fork over your $6, and experience the movie someone else made in the way they intended for you to see it. If we all do this, one day when it is your movie on that silver screen, we will all as an animation community be in line to see it, win or lose."

Most people have no time to look at your poster – consider how many sales messages your brain is bombarded with in any given moment. Messaging and branding is everywhere, and it’s also usually created by experts too. And most terrifyingly, you and your film are in direct competition for that headspace.

'Kick-Ass 2' cast: It's just a movie
CNN
(CNN) -- Jim Carrey's "Kick-Ass 2" co-stars may accept his decision not to support their film because of its intense violence, but that's not to say they agree with him.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

For the fans who are anticipating the same tone as the first film, Taylor-Johnson promises they've kept that level of darkness in tact.

"At the end of the day, it's entertainment," he said. "This is even darker. ... I think there's so much packed in that they're not going to come out going, 'Aw, I wish I saw her do this or do that.' They're going to be like, 'Oh my God,' what?!' Just processing it all is going to take a couple days."

Anand Bhanushali was the VFX Technical Director for this film,  work on more than 360 VFX shots. It’s a period film set in 1953, so it was  challenging task to remove things like electric power meters and water tanks that didn't exist in that time and adding falling snow, landscape, snow covered trees and roads filled with 2 to 3 feet of snow in the movie.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

 It's considered among the best in the genre. Which is strange when compared against popular science fiction fare like Star Wars, Alien, and the Star Trek franchises.

 In almost every way this film should have failed. But it didn't. Instead, it's considered a great masterpiece. Why?
