Kung Fu Panda 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdaMGcOyfjM&feature=relmfu

This is a trailer for Kung Fu Panda 2, which comes out on May 26th of this year.  The first Kung Fu Panda was great; it had a great cast, a great storyline, and many laughs.  I'm very excited for this movie and I hope they make it a lot like the first one with a new story of course.

Captain America: The First Avenger

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2993723929/

This is the next movie introducing one of the main heroes that is part of the Avengers team.  This movie comes out in July and is based on Marvel's Captain America character.  I am interested to see what they do with this movie; it could either be awesome like Iron Man or fail miserably like the first Hulk movie.

Oscar Speech.

This is by far my favorite speech. It is when Sally Field won for Places In The Heart. It has the infamous line said by Sally, "You like me, you really like me!". This speech is adorable and emotional. Plus she is one of my favorite actress ever!

This Blows My Other Post Out of the Water.

Design and Ingenuity is a big part on how you make sales. I believe this will do very well on the market because of these aspects. It is well designed, it is practical, it is not overcomplicated, and that is why I think this product will sell very well.

More Oscars

I was very happy Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland was recognized for Best Art Direction and Costume Design. It was definitly my favorite movie the past year because of the great CGI, story, and charm. Toy Story 3 won Best Animated Film. It was also nominated for Best Picture, which the nomination was well deserved. Inception also caught a few awards which I personally beleive it deserved more.

Oscars

The Oscars were on tonight, which has been very anticitpated this year due to all the phenominal films released. The King's Speech won Best Picture, with Colin Firth and Natalie Portman catching the Best Actor/Actress categories.

I don't really know too much about this movie besides what I have seen in the trailer.  Is this based on a true story or is this something that is made up?  I think I'm going to check this movie out because it seems interesting and James Franco is a decent actor.

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1262721561/

What's the cost?

Have you ever wonder how much or what it takes to film in the city of Chicago? Well I was wondering that very same thing until I came across this website that tells you what the rates are as well as what permits are needed to film.

three point lighting

This video gave the basic run-down of the three point lighting set-up. It explains the key light, fill light, back light, where they should be placed and also the effect they have on your actor. Even though this video wasn't made all that well (and the music is terrible!), I think I learned more from it than the lighting class I'm currently taking.

Crunching depth of field

This video gave two great examples of deceptive camera angles that you can use to really pull the audience in. The first was a woman getting hit by a car, even though in real life she was far from the vehicle.

Broad Band Access

President Obama is pledging to extend broad-band internet to 98 percent of the country, specifically targeting rural areas that don't traditionally have access. He claims this will create of 5000 new jobs and will help the flow of information,thus helping re-education the population and that in turn will create jobs. I think its a noble cause to help the free flow of information. I'm just not so sure this will actually be achievable considering our polarized political climate, but my fingers are crossed.

ANDROID PHONE USERS: MUST HAVE APP!!!

Hey Classmates,

With the android market starting to surpass the iPhone market I felt i should let you guys know about a fun app to pass the time. NESoid is a application that allows you to play old nintendo games on your android phone. Some cost money but this one does not. the downer to this is that the lite version won't let you save your progress in the games you are playing so if you are an avid gamer such as myself spend the 3-4 bucks for the full version and let your productivity fall through the floor. This one is for super nintendo but there are other for other systems...

1. psx4droid (a Playstation one emulator)
2. Tiger FC/NES Emulator v1.0.8 (a super nintendo emulator, FREE FULL VERSION)
3. Wiimote controller ( a wii controller app that lets you use a wii controller to play the games on your phone via bluetooth. There are restrictions to which phones this is compatable with, ex. Galaxy S phones and as far as I could tell all samsung phones, I know for a fact wont work because that is what I have.)

Enjoy and tell your friends

3D Acheivement Awards

We saw many 3D movies in theaters this past year, but few stand out as the bes of the year. Alice in Wonderland won Outstanding Acheivment in 2D to 3D Conversion. Tron: Legacy won best 3D feature, and Tangled took best 3D scene. What about Resident Evil: Afterlife? It had one of the best 3D visuals and special effects of the year.

Sanctum 3D - Disapointing

The new film with James Cameron's name plastered all over it, 'Sanctum' fails to live up to anything you;d expect from him. Terrible acting, flat characters, bland dialogue, terrible CGI and special effects, and $16 thrown into wasting 2 hours of your time. I would not reccomend this movie to anyone. Did anyone else see it an ahve any bad opinions? Good opinions?

Spiderman Reboot

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0948470/

For some reason a lot of remakes and reboots of franchises have been surfacing, which worries me for the future of filmmaking.  This is a link to the spiderman reboot IMDB page; even though I really did like the first two spiderman movies, I am very interested to see what they are going to differently this time around.  I really like movies where they show the formation of the hero, so this is one thing I look forward to seeing again in this new movie.

World War Z Movie

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/marvelmoviesuniverse/news/?a=17363

Max Brooks is well known for his accomplishments in writing very entertaining books on zombies. When I saw that a movie could possibly be made based on one of his books, World War Z, I was very excited because Max Brooks knows how to do zombies very well.  I will be very excited to compare this movie if it is made to some of George A. Romero's zombie films.

Production

Go to the theatre or put in a DVD, and somewhere in the credits you will see at least 3 producer credits, and on large budget pictures you will sometimes see 8 or 9 producers. Have you ever wondered what on earth all those producers do? Box Office Magazine helps us understand.

Do's and Dont's for an interview

I totally agree with these, especially the one about asking for the job. I applied a management position at my job and at the end I asked for the job. When i was offered the position by my store my store manager he told me that is what put me above the other 2 employees is that I asked for the job.

OPI - the new thing in nail design

I heard about this from a friend and i just thought it was so cool. I couldnt help myself so i went and got this done to my nails. The cool thing about it is that it just cracks on its own.

Angenieux

The site Angenieux is a good site for Optimo Digital Production. With the Angenieus you will have great performance, and range to capture your imagination. Someone interested in motion pictures, surveillance, security lenses, and night vision goggles would enjoy viewing this site.

This is a great website for any profession (and anyone in school!). The business world is getting picker about citing work so it doesn't matter what your major, you will be able to use this sight. It is great because you just pick your resource, plug in the information, click the button and presto, the information is in the correct format.

The Shawshank Redemption

I don't need to tell you that this is simply one of the best films ever made. This inspiring story is all about how a man had to re-earn his freedom so he could just live his life. That message applies to everyone.

Storyboard Template

I found this site interesting because the creator actually made his own storyboard templates since he didn't find any online that he liked. He put up one for TV, with the boxes in a 4:3 ratio, and the other for film set up 16:9. I love the fact that you can download these free, and he made them blank templates so there isn't any annoying text or anything you don't want printed on them.

Digital Camcorder Reviews

This website was extremely helpful in reviewing different brands of digital camcorders. You are able to browse by brand, read articles, and they even have video segments to watch. I like that they are specific in terms of the pros and cons, along with prices and specifications.

Crysis 2 good or bad?

I downloaded the beta for this game recently. I was really impressed by the graphics and the gameplay. However, this game is really overcomplicated with to many little things you can do that I could not enjoy it.

Lee Casalena Professional Panoramic Photography

This is an photography portfolio filled with tons of beautiful panoramas. I initially found this photo Full Moon Hike stumbling, and checked out Lee Casalena's portfolio afterwards. Under each photo there is a "View Interactive Version," which allows you to see a 360 degree view of the landscape.

Writing for the Web

Did you know we read in an F shape and we only read about 20% of what is written on a page? What I like about this resource is that it is based on studies that have been done on how we read. It also gives examples ranging from the worst examples to the best to help us make the right choices on how to write for the web.

Script Writing

This sight is great for learning how to craft a script for films. It is very easy and simple to navigate. The sight shows you how to perfect script presentations, plot structures, script format and character development. It is a great starting point for those who don't really know how to start writing film scripts. The only down side on this sight is the annoying adds, but other than that, it has great information.
