Ugh, can't sleep. Back’s tweaking up for me big time, and it'll be a while before meds kick in.
Changed icon to The Thing as Blackbeard, at least for a bit. It sums up how I feel about things as a whole. Things aren't the best by a long shot, but there are certainly some elements that I am surely growing fonder of as the days pass.
Occupying my time with Character Studio 4 tonight. Holy cow. It's fun... you get a sharp little armature configuration, slap on a musculature, and twiddle for some great creature effects and design goodies. (I would be painting miniatures, but I can just step away from this immediately if sleepy time effects start to kick in.)
Read this amazing story about a 1930s pulp adventure film that's being shot entirely with blue screens -- not a single set, just a few props and the actors in costume. The story and style sound like something I'd dig I just hope it all works out.
ANGELINA Jolie's latest film, World of Tomorrow, is the first Hollywood film to be shot entirely without props and locations.
In a technological advance on the old back-projection system, the whole of World of Tomorrow was shot on a blue screen - that is, actors played their roles against a blank wall, leaving the background to be filled in later by computer programmers.
Filmed at Britain's Elstree Studios, all locations, scenery and even furniture were abandoned, except for a handful of props used as markers to show where Jolie and her co-stars, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, should stand during the seven-day shoot.
Jolie plays a British pilot who comes to the aid of Law, another heroic airman, and a wisecracking New York reporter played by Paltrow. They investigate mysterious flying machines that threaten the 1939 World Fair in New York and their adventure takes them to the Himalayas for a dramatic showdown with an evil genius.
Jolie said she was indebted to blue screen. "I had just finished Tomb Raider 2 and making another such film in a similar way would have taken another year to shoot on location," she said.
Note to self -
my vampire is getting behind on his blood sucking...his most active offspring is only about 300 pints behind, and closing fast. (The others are growing at a more reasonable rate)
