Not even close to a good sketch, but I like the concept I had. It's a couch where, if you sit on the right side, you can watch your own show. It has a screen that comes out for the right side of the couch. It's made so you can still have family time, but you don't have to watch what they're watching.
I've been looking at commercials over the past few weeks and something I've come to notice is that Coke commercials are always incredible. This is one I've never seen on TV, but I really like it. Coke has always had wonderful commercials that drag people into pining for their soda. Good for them :)
In response to the fact that I just got a Wii, I would like to talk about how amazed I am at Nintendo, particularly in relation to Mario.
They started with this:
And now are at this:
Nintendo has kept up with technology since the '80s. They have innovative ideas and make new and wonderful things. But even with the new stuff, they know when they have a good thing going. Thus, they have kept Mario from the '80s until 2009 and still, everyone loves him.
Sticking to the theme of my previous post, this has to do with New Moon. This is what Volterra would look like on a normal day. Although in the movie I like the city the shot as Volterra, I think my vision of the place would have been so much better.
So, who here feels that they've heard enough about New Moon? Enough of the screaming fangirls, enough of the dumb actors, enough of the damn love of vampires?
I know I sure haven't!!! I saw New Moon at midnight on opening nights, and I just love it! So today I will be talking about the technical stuff that made that night even better.
The wires and just all around stunts used in this movie were great. The fight scene here, as well as everything with the wolf pack were executed beautifully. The editing was flawless, or I should say, it seems flawless for now until I see the movie again.
I say, that if the technical stuff in a movie can be more incredible than the storyline, then that movie deserves to be seem twice (or more).
It takes a while to load, so be patient. And mainly start watching at 38 seconds.
Now, I'm not saying there's any great graphic, nor great editing. What inspires me here is the collaboration. 4 youtubers got together and pulled over 100 other people on youtube to write the song, make it, and make the video. They worked together to make this amazingly corny pop song that I love. Apart from that, they stayed in the U.K. top 40 charts for over a week with this song. Plus, all the tons of money from the people buying it went to charity.
I read the Percy Jackson series. AGAIN. This time I was interested in the Nectar and Ambrosia aspect of it. I Kinda thought it should be in a bottle y0u could buy, but not the normal shaped bottle. So it has 4 necks that wind around each other and end with one mouth piece. It's not very visible, but the slogan at the top is "Drink like a god".
I've been following videos about this movie for quite some time now. I am dying to see it. I saw this video about Yellowstone and thought it was pretty awesome. I really like how they use like action footage with the digital. So I'm really intrigued to see what the rest of the movie is going to look like.
to understand this post, you kinda need to read the one before it.
This is the video for the song "Speed of Sound" by Coldplay. Now, I don't really like Coldplay, but I don't mind listening to them. I remember seeing this video a while back and just being amazed at the huge screens in the background and how the lights fit so well with the music. I really want that for the relaxation complex idea I had. Plus, I would love to see that set up close.
And unfortunately, I can't embed it, so you'll have to go to the link:
This is my animation. I had one hell of a time trying to get it right. It's a spiritual animation that is supposed to show how I feel about the rain. I had to put together two different pieces of it in premier, so I hope that doesn't show.
P.S. The music is the introduction to the song "Never Think" by Robert Pattinson
Okay, so I know the video is not great, but this band is not just an inspiration to me, but to a whole generation of musicians who perform under the genre of Wizard Rock, aka Wrock.
Harry and the Potters (http://harryandthepotters.com/) is this band who started a whole rock movement. They are a couple of brothers who took something they love and made it into a career. They have a website, a fan base, merchandise, have been on MTV, and give a pretty kick a** concert. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live, which is the funnest thing I have ever done (they actually went through the crowd with trays of bacon, giving it everyone). so I find them pretty darn amazing.
If you wanna see more of their stuff or any of the wizard wrockers, just go to youtube and type in: Harry and the Potters The Ministry of Magic The Parselmouths The Moaning Myrtles The Whomping Willows
or just type "Wizard Wrock" and it will come up with tons more
This is only the inside, I couldn't exactly figure out how to draw the outside (but I'll get into that later).
I had this idea of a relaxation/entertainment complex. On the outside it looks like a willow tree, a really big one (but I have no idea how to draw such a tree). There is no doors around the complex, but the entrance goes underground and comes up in the center of the building. The ground is covered in really soft carpet that looks like grass. There is no chairs, everyone just lays down. The walls are covered in thousands of tiny LCD screens. Relaxing music is played and the LCD screens create random in-motion images that fit the music.
I don't quite know how this would be constructed, but I would go to a place like this.
This week I've been watching a whole lot of movies I love and Pirates of the Caribbean (1,2, and 3) is on that list. I tend to watch the special features and a lot from this video is in the one that comes with the DVD. I love the way the effects were done on this film, including the blue and green screen work. I am mostly impressed by the final battle scene in the movie where almost all of it had to digitally made because of the weather and the whirlpool. All the scenes for it that were actually filmed were in from of blue screens. Although many criticize the third movie for having a crappy story-line (Not my opinion btw), no one can deny that the guys who put it together were masters. Yay for Disney having lots of money :)
Obviously, not my best, but only because the brilliant idea I had takes more time to sketch.
I don't really have a title for this one, but it's supposed to be a representation of our society. We are so technology dependent that when something doesn't work, we basically become useless. This is one of the reasons why I admire those animators "back in the day" when everything was hand drawn. Because they didn't have to worry about computers freezing up and losing all their work from pressing a delete button.
(p.s. the computer screen says "No Network Available")
I must explain myself before I go into why I am inspired by this. I am NOT in any way, shape, or form even remotely close to being a Cowboys fan. I NEVER will be a Cowboys fan. BUT, their new stadium is just wow. It's huge! And it is aesthetically appealing and (for lack of a better word) cool. I love how the end opens up for more fans to see inside. The 4 giant screens in the middle are ingenious; although, I worry that someone will be punting the ball and it will it one of those screens. It's such an amazing place, but it's so wasted on that team. :s
So this week I've been watching a whole lot of movies and they all had one thing in common. All of them had music composed by Hans Zimmer. He is incredible. For anyone who is aware of all parts of movies, they notice the how the score affects the feeling of the movie. And, of course, for all those who don't, they don't notice it but are affected by it none the less. I've noticed that all of the movies that have music composed by Hans Zimmer are pretty amazing and pull at emotions more than most other movies. So here's a video I found on youtube that puts some of his work together in one video.
