What a good movie

The other day I watch the movie The Fighter, and thought to myself what a great movie. I was really impress with the story and the acting done by Christian Bale. He acted out his part so well, that at the end of the movie they show the real people that the movie is based for and Christian Bale acted just like Dicky.

Fight scenes from Equilibrium

The movie Equilibrium is an action/drama/sci-fi movie that was released in 2002. It stars Christian Bale as the main character, along with Taye Diggs, Sean Bean and Emily Watson. This video is a compilation of all the best action/fight scenes in the film and I love it!

facial expressions

Facial expressions and motions in movies and on TV are just as if not more important that dialog itself. An actors facial expression can tell an entire story without a word being said. This sight chronicles some common facial expressions that make or break a movie.

Voice Acting 101

This is a great sight for voice actors. It explains the ins and outs of how to throw your voice for radio, TV, commercials, and movies. It is not as easy as people think! Since there is no visuals involved, it is crucial that the voice actor pronounce correctly, speak clearly, and explain every little detail so that the listener doesn't miss anything.

Typography on the Web

I thought this was a very interesting article about choosing type for the Web. With so many type choices out there it was hard to read the quote by Zuzana Licko which was “We read best what we read most.” The examples they give on how to choose your type is very helpful.

I watched this movie last night and it was a really good movie (not just because I'm a huge Beatles fan).  This movie is an independent UK film that was released in 2009.  It follows John Lennon as a kid in Liverpool and shows the beginning of his journey to fame.

Creating Perfect Solitude for Creative Focus

Winter is usually the time of year when I feel the least creative. Found an article that lists some really easy solutions on how to get back that creative energy. So simple that it seems a little silly, but it works.

Movie Title Stills Collection

It never occurred to me how important movie title sequences are until I was watching some movies on Turner Classic and realized how outdated they were. This site shows how opening sequences have evolved from the earliest films to the most recent. Warning: very image heavy!

Guillermo del Toro To Direct Epic Monster Movie

Guillermo del Toro is prepping his next film "Pacific Rim" about “big monsters and the creation of a new world.” del Toro has a pretty awesome imagination and has made some wonderful films so this could be pretty neat. Hellboy was pretty cool (2 sucked) and Pans Labyrinth was awesome so im pretty pumped about this idea

Conan Gets A New Trailer, Looks Like Crap

the teaser for the new Conan the Barbarian flick came out recently. It's directed by Marcus Nispel (Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, Friday the 13th remake) which is no reason to be confident that this will be any good at all, but at least its only a teaser. But no Arnold? No thanks

Cancer PSA

I also really love this PSA too. It is interesting and funny. It also appeals to all types of age groups.

Google Scholar

This is relatively new, as I have not yet heard about it, but it is in the beta so it has been around. It searches scholarly literature across a bunch of sources. Some sources include theses, journals, abstracts and books.

Design.

I can not stress enough that design is the most important thing about art. This is a new design for a soda bottle. It is simple, it is visually pleasing, it is well designed, and most importantly it will sell more just because it is a new design.

Color.

Color is a big part of every artistic endeavor. It is what always brings out the true statement of what you are doing. However, sometimes it is not easy to come up with color schemes that fit what you are doing so here are some examples of great color pallets.
