Pretty cool example of how to explain things using an on screen narrator.

AWAY

The other day Wegman and I were talking about the use of VFX in Dead Dixie California, the film he's been working on for the past year or so. Specifically, the almost unreal amount of planning that's required to pull off even the most basic effects. Ultimately, the conversation reminded me of this piece from Convolv, AWAY.

Aside from the really great FX, there's a really good story behind the production. Basically, the two filmmakers were going into the project completely blind and with very little experience. You can read the full story here.

True Detective Season 2 Main Titles

Moody, minimal, and drenched with rich color. Plus Leonard Cohen made the theme song so, yeah, thats awesome.

Pre and Post FX - Gatsby

West of the Moon

While the concept of adapting the words of children is nothing new, I feel this piece executes it in a really original and classy way. The story is loosely based on the dreams of several hundred children.

Darwin Deez - You Can't Be My Girl

The best and pretty much only good use of stock footage that I have ever seen.

2012 Vimeo Award Winners - Music Video

I thought the music video category would be a tall order to fill; there are a lot of music videos out there on Vimeo and they are arguably some of the most create videos that get posted. Ultimately, I think this one holds up pretty well...

I think Chad might have already posted this one. But now it's accredited!

Found this pretty entertaining.

Nuit Blanche

Micky Rourke came up in conversation the other day - anytime that happens my mind goes right to Sin City. Damn, I love that film. Its gritty, dark, at times ultra violent, and everyone sounds like they smoke a pack of cigarettes before every scene. I'm a sucker for the noir genre as a whole. I would love to do some super stylized composting work. Here is another great example I found a year ago.

 This is more subtle, so much goes on without ever saying a single word.
