Hello, WALL•E!: Pixar Reaches for the Stars. Un interesante artículo sobre cómo se logró el aspecto visual de la última película de Pixar.
Jeremy Lasky, DP camera, who worked in close collaboration with Danielle Feinberg, DP lighting, was eager to break new ground at Pixar. «At the very beginning of preproduction, when I came on, Andrew had a lot of preconceptions of what he wanted for a film without traditional dialogue. All of the staging, all of the shots have to be really clear for the audience to understand the backstory in addition to the main plot of the film. The planet’s covered in trash: What happened? So we had to convey it visually. As always, the first pressure is just telling the story right. Only in this case, there’s no dialogue crutch.
«So the question became: How can we make this work? Shots have to be so specific that you’re always following what’s going on. On top of that, Andrew said, ‘I want it to feel real.’ He wasn’t talking about photoreal, but that you believe you’re watching a little robot doing what he’s doing. To me, that triggered the notion that we have to raise our game a little.
«We have this virtual camera that we’ve used with variations of the same camera package for years, but we’ve never pushed it to be more like a live-action camera. So we took it apart and rebuilt it from the ground up to emulate the way a 35mm anamorphic camera would move: how it pivots, where it tilts from, how it works on a dolly. We based it on the concept of how you would shoot a sci-fi movie today with anamorphic lenses.
El otro día leía sobre la confianza en Pixar y cómo se demuestra. Mi conclusión fue: tengo tanta fe en Pixar que ahora mismo compraría los DVD de sus próximas 5 películas sin ni siquiera saber el título.

I doubt that I will have time to get into a theater very often for the next month or so?summer vacation is an oxymoron when you?re working on deadline?but if anything can drive me back into theaters, it is the right-wing apoplexy over a little Pixar movie called WALL-E. Apparently a film whose primary purpose is to engender any number of commercial tie-ins is, in fact, a piece of anti-consumerist propaganda lecturing the public on the evils of environmental degradation and other forms of liberal ?non-sense.? Oh, and it?s filled with ?Malthusian fear-mongering, too.? I might just have to get out to theaters so that I can receive my regular dose of political indoctrination.
El blog del futuro del libro: Las obras Power Point
Se trata de documentos Power Point compuestos por un conjunto de imágenes y breves comentarios que son portadores de un contenido unitario: los hay humorísticos, poéticos, narrativos, nostálgicos, de denuncia y de otros géneros que ahora no recuerdo. Algunos tienen incluso música. Unos vienen como un ejecutable que lanza el slide show, y otros deben ser hojeados, diapositiva a diapositiva, por el receptor. Tienen desde una decena de páginas hasta cuarenta, cincuenta o más. En su mayor parte son anónimos, y su vía de difusión, ya lo hemos dicho, es el correo electrónico.

The winner, and the detailed gaming year report, will be published around July 10th.

Hace ya casi un año se me ocurrió la soberana chorrada de hacer un video similar al mensaje que sale en YouTube cuando un video ha sido retirado We?re sorry, This video is no longer available. Lo que no esperaba al publicarlo, es que sea el video que mas se ha visto de todos los que he subido 😀
Una historia con bastante gracia.
