Clash of the Titans on the Big Screen

April 23, 2004

One of my RSS feeds showed this to me today.

It contains storyboards for Van Helsing. Now what ever you think of the movie, storyboards are storyboards, they can be helpful, and as an audience member, you don't get to see too many of them. .

Camerawork Reading

April 22, 2004

I am by no means an expert cimatographer by any means. However I've had to do my fair share of camerawork. So I do have a couple books up my sleeve that have been very helpful in accelerating my knowledge about how to move a camera.

Koyaanisqatsi

April 15, 2004

I saw it for the first time tonight. I hated, hated, hated this movie. All form, no substance. And don't give me that "It's a deep message about the environment." It's pretentious nonsense, and I hate you for even defending it.

It's scored by Phillip Glass, so I should have known. Although, the score does include a song where the title is sung repeated for a 5 minute stretch, so I guess I can't criticize the music that much.

All in all, this seemed less a real movie, than a fake movie that would be displayed in a movie or sitcom as an example of a pretentious movie.

I found more sites by teams that did the 48 Hour film Project or the National Film Challenge. Specifically I found more examples of other projects online.
