How To Make A Movie Without A Script

Last week, Jeff Garlin was in Chicago to host the premiere of his new movie, Dealin' with Idiots, which was a pretty curious location for such an event.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

That led to some delicious awkward silences, including a scene in which Garlin has an uncomfortable moment with a mailman.

So 15 minutes on the job and I think I know it all. Ha, as if! But, I still got some voice over tips for you! (RT @thefrugalette: Want to see me recording a voice over at Disney Toon Studios?
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

If you are a serious voice over actor or are looking to get into the business, I apologize in advance for my rather simple tips worth a half-grain of salt. Although, if you’ve never been in a studio and you get the chance to audition then take my tips for a whole grain instead. - See more at: http://www.thefrugalette.com/2013/07/7-tips-for-wanna-be-voice-over-actors-disneyplanesevent/#sthash.bctEmK8B.HGMubq2f.dpuf

The Pixar Experience: A Tribute to Pixar Animation

I want you to experience Pixar's films on deeper and more emotional level than that of the traditional "montage" or "tribute." I created this not only for Pixar fans but for film and animation enthusiasts in general; anyone who has never outgrown their inner child and sense of wonder. 
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:



Pixar, in my opinion, has created some of the most memorable animated films out there and can proudly stand alongside such Disney classics as The Lion King, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and more. 

A great story, memorable characters and brilliant compositions which linger even after the movie has finished; these are the components of great filmmaking and ones which Pixar has successfully woven into their films. 

This is simply me wanting to convey my passion for Pixar and its films with some of my favorite Pixar scores from Thomas Newman and Michael Giacchino. 

Since a very young age Pixar has held a special place in my heart, and I aspire to work there as an editor one day. Enjoy from DisneyDude

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

With Kickstarter space free to use, McGee will now focus on promoting his plans for animated films set in his gothic horror reimaging of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland stories. These plans were originally part of the OZombie Kickstarter as a $100,000 stretch goal, but now they stand on their own they may generate more interest. The money is needed to wrestle the rights for Alice away from Collision Entertainment, who are demanding $500,000 for the rights, or $100,000 per year as license.

The Complete Guide to Selling Your Unwanted Crap for Money

The Complete Guide to Selling Your Unwanted Crap for Money | Machinimania | Scoop.it
We've shown you how to kick your clutter habit, but why trash all of those things you don't need when you could make some money off of them?

Via Asil
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

One of the reasons it's so hard to declutter is because we look at an item that we don't need and remember how much time or energy or cash it cost from us to obtain. Selling that stuff may not bring back the time or energy, but it can bring back some of the money—money you can put towards the things you really want, (or save for your future).

Luckily, there's a way to fix the issue after the fact.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Many of us can’t even figure out how to use the video camera on our cell phone, let alone capture video footage using a real camcorder. Things we should take into account – lighting, focus, and shutter speed – sometimes fall to the wayside when trying to capture that quintessential concert footage or panning landscape portrait of the great outdoors. Unfortunately, orientation is often another forgettable pitfall, one that will likely lead to kink in your neck when you try to watch your precious video at home on another device.

While modern, video-capable devices won’t have trouble automatically adjusting to the flick of your wrist, that’s not always the case. Luckily, there’s a way to fix the issue after the fact.

“How To Train Your Dragon 2″ Teaser Trailer

“How To Train Your Dragon 2″ Teaser Trailer | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Watch the new teaser trailer for DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon 2 which follows the continuing adventures of Hiccup and Toothless. The film is set to be released in June 2014.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The thrilling second chapter of the epic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy brings us back to the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island's new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.
