I hadn’t seen Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in a few years. It is clearly my least favorite movie in the entire Star Wars series, but I don’t remember hating it as so many do. However, after watching this brilliant 70 minute video review of that film, I don’t think I’ll [more…]
I just heard about this awesome awesome project called Star Wars: Uncut. I am mesmerized by this concept. They’ve divided Star Wars: A New Hope into 15 second clips and organized them on their website. You go on the site and “claim” an open scene. Then go off on your own [more…]

A little old, but this is too amazing for words. Watch as this guy’s Macbook turns into a spaceship and artfully flies away. I would love to meet the 3D artist that did this. The attention to detail is incredible. Watch the desk get burned as it takes off. Or [more…]
Folks. This is a glorious day. Many people know my love of 3D. It’s my favorite gimmick. I believe everyone should own a pair of good 3D glasses. Non-cereal box variety. That’s why I went on eBay a few years back and got a pair of 3D clip-on specs. [more…]
I was fooling around with some After Effects tutorials and created this hunk of silly. Actually I just followed Andrew Kramer’s great tutorial as closely as possible. The sound design makes me think of THX 1138, which in my opinion, is the coolest sound design ever. Thanks Walter Murch! I’m really [more…]

My friends Eyal and Saul entered the New York 48 Hour Film Project for a second year. From 7:30pm on Friday to 7:30pm on Sunday they had to write, shoot, edit, and deliver a short film using a couple of key elements given to every team. It was described to me like [more…]
