For the daily needs of actors trying to make it big!!!
So I finally gave in and spent 15 dollars to go see AVATAR this weekend.The visual effects of the movie are in no doubt in a league of their own and so will not be the focus of what I am going to discuss. To the thousands of graphic artists involved from sketching and concept, to animation 3-D or lighting… BRAVO!.
Now, what I really wanted to review is the “substance or lack-there-of” of this multi-million dollar investment.
Here is a great article from Creative Review about the opening titles of clasics and modern day jewels when it comes to film. Personally I have to say the 2 most iconic opening sequences from the list are any of the Bond Movie titles (who can forget those intricate and beutiful graphics and patterns intertwines with silhouettes?) and surprisingly the Pink Panther; mainly due to the catchy tome but also to the playfulness. Dudum Duddum, Duddum duddum duddum, Duddum Duduuuuuuuum.
Is seems as though the movie “Quantum Solace” is already doing horribly and leaving the hardest audience (critics) cold. This is why you should always attempt to book a new job before the official reviews come out. Imagine this: if the movie is a success, your next gig will have a much larger audience, BUT if your movie bombs, atleast you have a chance to redeem yourself and a secured paycheck!!!! If on the other hand you dont book it, you risk the bad reviews affecting future employers.SO remember:…
