Up Shorts

Up-coming Pixar movie Up (see what I did there - pretty clever huh!) has some new promotional shorts online. You can find them here. This is still looking like a doozy!



More Tree of Life details emerge!



Empire Magazine stirred up a minor frenzy on the web last week when they published a small quote regarding effects in Terrence Malick's upcoming film Tree of Life. After much speculation they were kind enough to publish another snippet online to clarify:

"We’re just starting work on a project for Terrence Malick, which is actually 3 films. There’s going to be a 35mm release, a shorter IMAX version, and then they’re talking about another shorter 35mm version which isn’t quite the Imax version but not the feature length one either.""We’re animating dinosaurs, but it’s not Jurassic Park. The attempt is to treat it as if somehow a camera wound up in the middle of these periods when dinosaurs roamed the earth and creatures first started to emerge from the sea onto the land. The first mammals appearing. We’re doing a number of creatures all seriously scientifically based.""I think when it’s finished it’ll be something that’s referred to for years."


A little science goes a long way

Ever wonder why time-travellers in the Terminator series always jumped through time naked? Neither did I. The folks at CollegeHumour weren't quite so blase about it and, after many long hours of research, they have a solution; presented below in video, so you don't have to read any of those pesky scientific words.
