How 'Wreck-It Ralph' Wrecked All the Rules of Animation
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
In making animated films, the artists and technicians are always looking for a ground zero. They want a style they can point to and say, “This is the movie. This is how the characters should move, this is what it should look like, this is how the camera moves ... But - read the full story here.

"Posts on Vine are about abbreviation -- the shortened form of something larger. They're little windows into the people, settings, ideas and objects that make up your life. They're quirky, and we think that's part of what makes them so special."

REDD is a Sci-Fi, Action, Horror, Adventure feature film. It's a low/no-budget feature film that we're hoping doesn't look too low/no-budget. This movie looks to be finished in just a few months. We were able to successfully raise money through Kickstarter. Now we turn to Indiegogo to raise more money to support our marketing and distribution plan, so we can make sure we get the word out about this movie.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Modern time’s weaponry is deadly enough as it is, they are fascinating pieces of engineering that divide Nation’s opinions on what is and what’s not morally acceptable. They always had a fascinating side of power and glory to those that are not on the receiving end of a cutting edge weapon. But even Modern day weapons seem obsolete when compared to any of the following weapons originated from Science Fiction movies.

So what’s different in House of Cards from what we’ve seen before? The show is originally based on a particularly scandalous BBC mini-series, a political thriller replete with plenty of dark arts: blackmail over drug use, internally prompted impeachments, ordered hits, and an elaborate media manipulation scheme disguised as an affair. All that risqué material is fine and dandy on British airwaves, but what you can and can’t do on American TV tends to be a bit more limited (thanks FCC!). On Netflix, though? It’s a new frontier with more potential for exploration. Read the full article by clicking the headline abowe.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
The Inhumans have always been one of Marvel’s most enduring oddities. A race of genetic outsiders, they live secluded in their island kingdom of Attilan , preferring not to mix with the outside world. Even stranger, their genetic mutations are self-endowed; each Inhuman, as a coming-of-age ritual, endures exposure to the Terrigen Mists, a strange substance that imparts unearthly powers — some extraordinary, some monstrous.

When Derek Van Gorder and Otto Stockmeier decided to make a science fiction short about a mutiny on an interplanetary warship, they didn’t have the funds for CGI. They did, on the other hand, have access to the digital cameras that are part and parcel of any contemporary filmmaker’s toolkit. So they eschewed the digitally rendered graphics that are ubiquitous today, and instead set out to combine classic in-camera special effects with the advanced low-light filming capabilities of the latest cameras. The result: a unique science fiction vision for their film C 299,792 km/s, released yesterday..

The five-minute, action-packed animation took two and a half years to produce, but the hard work may pay off, as this is exactly the sort of film that Hollywood traditionally snaps up.
