  • RIFF: VITRVVIVS at the Rome International Film Festival

    VITRVVIVS screened during the Experimental Block at the 2009 Rome Georgia International Film Festival on September 11, 2009 at 11pm. I estimate that between 20 and 30 people attended the block. Many thanks to those that came out to see and support the experimental films at the festival. The live-action-stop-motion film cycle.break. by Stephanie Shadden was also shown in the Experimental Block and it picked up the award for best Experimental Film and it was well deserved. Congrats Stephanie!

    Mythic Journeys won the award for best American Documentary and…Mythic Journeys features the animation talents of Michael Granberry!

    It looks like Mythic Journeys is also playing (and a nominee for american documentary) which includes animation by Michael Granberry!

  • Show me your movie poster…

    I decided to do a quick post of independent stopmotion animator projects with movie poster style marketing images. Send links for your project’s movie poster or others that I may have missed. My general rule for posting these is that the image has to take the form of your typical movie poster, teaser poster, or teaser card…web page banners and production stills don’t count. 😎

  • Filmaking 2.0, Content and Metadata

    In my previous post I was pondering the impact of technologies on content in film-video productions. While searching for more examples of emergent or disruptive ideas regarding film-video making I ran across the Future of Cinema Debate on YouTube.

    It’s worth a watch, specifically for the ideas offered by Arin Crumley on the idea of metadata which he explains starting at approximately 03:19. His suggestion is a perfect example of the impact of technology on content which I referred to in my previous post.

    The moderator also touches on the concept of storytelling in new media not being so much an evolution of content but instead a mutation of content. I quite like the idea of content-hybrids or content-mutation.
