Film Inspiration

Illusionist

-visual enironment


9 (movie)
Some of my inspiration is from the film 9, it has the overall feel of what I want to achieve. One of my favourite scene is definately the opening scene, shows a little of the creator at work. Here is a video just to show you:


-visual Style
-composition/camera shots
-storytelling

A bugs Life

-visual environment
-scale and proprtion of small bugs/beings

A lot of the questions/problems I have, were answered and solved after watching A Bug's Life.

A spiderwick Chronicle


I found this film very inspirational for the undergoing project, from character designs to environment development. I would say that this film has given me the most inspiration, for what I would like to achieve.

Script/Film Ideas

Right so I now have a few films in mind, here I will state the names of each and give a short description of why I would like to interpretate this film.


My first choice is 'The Illusionist'.
great film, very interesting...As well as this film having a reasonable storyline to work from, I do enjoy the settings of this film.
I think this will be my chosen choice because I can connect it with animation being made up of illusions

second is the animé 'Bleach'
an animé series I have officially become obsessed with, and has everything I'm looking for when it comes to expression, emotion and conflict.




There are a few other film ideas, that I will try and post up later.

Moving on

OK so there is another brief...to interpretate a script. I found this very interesting to undertake as it is my first time approaching this type of task. Although I don't have to choose any of the scripts given there are three to start with, which are: The Matrix, Fantastic Voyage and Frankenstein.


The Matrix









Fantastic Voyage













Frankenstein









From the films stated above, I have only seen two of them, The Matrix being complex to fully understand and Frankenstein which is reasonably interesting. So for now,I consider to choose a script of my own choice.

I would like to interpretate a script which involves emotion, expression and conflict. so I'll keep this in mind when choosing my script.

1DAY EXPLICIT - an insight of my hme twn :-/

This trailer is more like a music video, so I thought I'd post the two up!



Everyone back home was asking me had I watched or heard of 1day (apparently it was a recent made film), I was like nope!...so they suggested that I watch it, so I decided to watch this film, mainly because its based in my home town Birmingham!! yay...I watched it yesterday while at uni doing some work....and I must say it was entertaining, especially the words/phases they use throughtout the film lol (amazingly enough I haven't been home for that long, that their accent seems weird almost!)...my opinions though, I thought it kind of followed kid/adulthood (just a little!)..and a few influences taken from America (you know the whole bandana, rep your endz thing!) but hey, I recognised a few faces from school, and I think that fiasco (the girl that raps/mc's while chasing that guy!) is really trying to doing her thing :-)...I would also like to say that I didnt think it was this serious in brum, I mean i'm use to seeing the whole drug and music scene, (I once grew up in these areas!) but the fact that you'll have your own good people ready to switch on you, just because of money and the risk of their reputation is weird, (especially if you become a close friend to their family) but I guess this happens everywhere right!

Number 23

A conspiracy-thriller film, featuring Jim Carrey!...(and automatically you think Jim Carrey!...conspiracy- thriller!...What?!)...

Ever since I have watched this film (around two years ago now), things have been different (well I think of things differently!)...lol kind of crazy I know, but it makes you wonder, what if! and the fact that I was born 23/11/1987...doesn't make things any better!...(because 9-1=8, 8+8+7= yep..23!!!)..and also the three names I mainly use each have 6 letters!!-(Brandi Symone Newell),(making 666!!!...I'm not evil!!!) even sept 11th 2001 adds up to 23 (Work it out yourselves it isn't hard maths!)....can't admit it's not creepy right?! hhmmmm?! lol...

...Besides that (and the bad ratings that this movie gets!) got to say this film (from my POV) is really interesting. In general, a lot is said about the number 23, alot of negative stuff,(negative to some, positive for others) and this film seems to reflect on that slightly... would you say the constant use of the number 23 is a coincidence, mathematical reasoning or paranoia?...

...They say it's a film about obsession and conspiracy and that not enough thought had gone into developing a good movie! well maybe this was to throw viewers off track of belief in such things...hmmm my opinion again (but!...it doesn't really matter what I say! Why? because my position isn't strong enough!)...but what I would like to state is don't consider it being non sense, in stead admit you were confused!...I would say there's enough style and plot twisting's, intriguing enough to keep you watching!...let me know what you think!
