How Marvel Actually Makes Movies Years Before Filming
All the previs in the world can't make bad scripts into good movies.
I enjoyed the early Avengers movies (the Ironmans and the 1st Thor & Capt), then the later ones are all bore-fests.
Why are they dumb? For me MCU movies have the tendency of the second 3 heroes are on screen together the action gets dumb.
Super busy VFX bores me to death, there's rarely any emotional payoff in those scenes. And all these previs does is to make a busy mess of action shots. Meh...

I was impressed with it. A good Sci Fi flick without a lot of action shots is a rarity theses days. Thanks for the tip.
Ex Machina -- have you seen that one?
If not, give it a shot. Best AI-themed movie I've seen in quite some time.
Messed with my head though, big time. It poses the sort of questions that lurk in the back of your head, only to emerge again at night, when you least want your brain to run on all cylinders, if you know what I mean.
The HongKongiest piece of filmmaking you'll see this week
And the original Hong-Kong long-take action shot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bozxgVQ9m0
Should we be submitting Russian Ark next?
John Howard on Gun Control
Apparently Howard was not happy about this and felt that Oliver was disrespectful. Do your research Howard!
Also, I went on the march against the gun ban when it was introduced. The laws in my state of Victoria were largely in line with the reforms but there were several new ones that were and are inconsistent. For instance, you can not have a pump action shot-gun but you can have a pump action centre-fire rifle. Admitedly I was only 17 at the time and mostly went to take photos for my uni degree. However, the laws became nationwide and bought Tasmania, the place where the massacre that prompted the ban, in to line with what the rest of the nation deemed acceptable. While I don't think there is a 100% correlation between the ban and the lack of subsequent massacres the gun laws were sensible and could easily be adopted anywhere else in the world where rationality prevails over dogmatism.
Kevin Smith's "Red State" second trailer
Know what I like about this video? I have a fairly good idea of the plot, and the action shots shown are just people shooting guns (no chases, no buildings falling, no cgi). This trailer alone will get me to watch the movie, because it's what a trailer SHOULD be.

Sounds good. I'll grab the camera and shoot it doing all kinds of unmentionable stuff.

Awesome to hear. Thanks for letting me know. Maybe you could put some action shots in your sift blog.
You could even paste siftbot's face onto your cube bot if you really had some energy (and time) to burn.

Not your grampa's Wonder Woman (Comics Talk Post)
Yep, saw the story earlier today. I see they toned down the pants a little by making them dark blue and not shiny, like I and others suggested, though they still kept the tacky stars. They also gave her red boots, just like in the comic. But I still ain't feeling the love. The ridiculous vinyl corset-top with the crappy fake metal has to go. And I still don't like the jeggings, even after they toned them down. The overall look still says, "That'll be $100, and you have to wear a condom."
I'm still going to check out the series when it airs. I think a lot of people will. But I'll tell you, I'm not expecting great things. >> ^longde:

Azureus Rising - Kickass Proof Of Concept Trailer
I think it has the mark of an amateur, inexperienced filmmaker. It's money-shot after money-shot. Now, technically it looked very nice, but if you compare it to intros to videogames, for instance, it's a lot like the inexperienced directors of those - action, shot after shot topping itself, posing main character in every shot, it gets boring.
New technique to make shaky cam videos stable
No, there's a difference between real cinematography and "look at this cool camera work! Don't you feel immersed?" Zoomy-cam is just the logical extension of shaky-cam, where the director thinks jostling the picture is the same thing as providing excitement for the viewer. Maybe it fools you, but to me all it does is throw me out of the story.
There is no fucking reason for shaky "hand held" shots unless we are supposed to be watching footage from a camera that is part of the story, such as documentary footage. If there is no camera in the story, then the viewer should not be "aware" of the camera. The footage should be clean and semi-omniscient, like the narrative voice in a book. Novels are not presented in broken cursive with bad spelling, and movies should not be presented in unstable hand held shots.
If you need a lot of flexibility in an action shot, get a steadycam. It provides a sense of immediacy and proximity, and doesn't aggravate. Use it!
Welcome to District 13 / Banlieu 13 Film Intro
District b13 is one of the greatest movies of all time in my opinion, all the action shots kick butt. The only down side is the main guy's sister, that lady just can't act.
Camera Stabilization for $1
You don't need to steady the camera for action shots. You would use a high shutter speed.
