AV/Film:

This post shows my interests in the different areas of multimedia design. The areas i am interested in are
  • AV/Film
  • Animation
  • Games
  • Web/Interactive
Ill start off by giving you an idea of what type of Film effects i like:



The last air bender is a highly anticipated movie in the film world. I am hoping that it won’t completely suck as it’s been inspired by the anime the legend of Anng which is highly popular all over the world. Looking at the trailer I highly doubt that it will do badly at all because M. Night Shymalan has kept to the same style as the cartoon but has added a traditional Hollywood twist to it which should look/feel quite nice, But what I’m really excited about is the way the special effects have been done, since the trailer only shows us the use of air bending at the moment I can’t really say much about how the other elements will be portrayed but at the moment they look well done and should look spectacular on the big screen.



A great look at another videogame influenced movie; Prince of Persia Sands of Time. I was a bit hesitant at first to say that it would be a great movie because as we all know movies of great videogames don't always translate well, and how were they going to create the sands of time effect, i wasnt very confident. I was happly proven wrong when i saw the trailer, the way they kept true to the character designs and the special effects look out of this world. the sand particals that emerge out of the princes tribal markings look unreal, so good in fact it looks far better than the videogame cutsceans.



I love the work of Quentin Tarantino, the way he shoots his movies give off a comic book style espeshally when he adds the cell shading like in Sin City when its black and white with a comic book inc feel. i liked the way he used the colours red and yellow to show key parts of the narrative its self like a blood trail or a charchters peice of defind clothing. I also love anderew kramer who is the co-founder of videocopilot.net which shows you some amazing techniques on special effects. For more information on videocopilot.net look at my older posts.
