Lorem Ipsum Generator

Lorem Ipsum is used as a model for layouts and web pages. Although not used in the final version, when determining a layout and you need a normal distribution of words, this Lorem Ipsum generator will produce as many lines, paragraphs, words that you need. And the reason it is used is because it looks like readable English as opposed to writing content in a box.

RANGO

I saw Rango in the theatre yesterday, and it was GREAT. The animation was fantastic, and I laughed so hard I cried. Gore Verbinski's approach at "emotion capture" was clearly a great idea.

We all have an email address we use more than any other. I have 2 main google mail accounts, a trash Yahoo mail account, and 2 other Google Mail accounts for this and my previous school. What does this say about me? - Ashley

Looking Back This Ash Wednesday At An Old Classic

The Evil Dead series is an oldie-but-goodie. Many directors can be recognized by their style of filmmaking (they're referred to as "auteurs") and Sam Raimi is no exception. Compare this scene from Evil Dead 2 with Spiderman 2 and you'll see what I mean.

Green Screens

This video highlights some of the do's and don'ts when using a green screen. All video and animation editors could benefit from proper green screen techniques. I have used green screens when shooting certain scenes for amateur music videos, and it works great if you do it correctly!

Street Fighter Break Dancer

Don't worry, the baby was not harmed in this clip! Aside from the humor and craziness of this clip, it shows how people with good audio editing skills can incorporate different sound effects. For all of you audio/visual editors out there, this is a good example of how changing the audio sound effects can change the meaning of a piece of film. I have used that technique myself, taking audio sound effects from mortal combat and incorporating them into my own videos.

ET Finale Voted Most Powerful Cinematic Moment

The finale to Spielberg's ET was recently voted the most powerful moment in cinema history. It beat out the heavyweight championship fight from Rocky, the end of Toy story 3 and the last stand made by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by taking over 30% of the vote.

So I Guess "Up" Could Really Happen

Some scientists actually lifted up a house with a bunch of balloons just like in the movie Up. I don't know if there was a cranky old man and a chubby little kid on hand to make it official, but they at least got the house off the ground

Art & Copy Film

ART & COPY Trailer from ART & COPY on Vimeo.

A documentary film about the positive effect that advertisements have had on the art world. Art & Copy takes a look at some of the most infamous campaigns and slogans that are still popular even after many years. Interesting take considering most people tend to focus on the negative impact of over advertising.
