Maleficent Director Robert Stromberg Conjures A Mercedes Fable For Super Bowl

 
Within this article the Super bowl was taken be storm when an ad for Mercedes show cases cute little woodland creatures and the creator behind the scenes would be the director of Maleficent, Robert Stromberg. He was approached but Mercedes and was asked to create a fairy tail commercial to show case the new car. the beauty of the GCI and the 3d animation makes the ad just that more better and over the top. many people watched that commercial and really makes a name for Robert in the movie and commercial making industry.    

3 Isn't a Crowd, but You Can Make It Look Like It Is with These Cinematography Tricks

 

After reading this article and understanding more how the big shots make a crowd scene really makes it look a lot easier to have that money shot. Now knowing how to do this kind of editing I am very excited to do them myself. Within this article I shows three ways on how to make it look like there are many different people in the shot, making a crowd. the first way is to have about five people standing in the background with you main focus  standing out closer to the camera. now just focus on the main subject and make to shot tight around the main focus and there you are you have a crowd with out having a crowd. This method seems to be the best and easiest way to make a crowd without having many people actually being there.

Why did the man who created the animated hit decide to walk away?


Within the article it goes on to say that the reason that he stepped down from making the tv series was that it was driving him crazy. after almost going homeless to one of the most famous tv show creators. it seems that it would be the life but I guess not. I guess that it can be harder then it seems. In my opinion I can see how walking away and backing down can really help and be for the greater good of him self and the tv show. He is not completely got and out of the picture be just simply a writer. And that seems like a more stress free life to me.

SFX vs. VFX: Two Effects Artists Discuss the Differences Between Practical & CGI


     Within this article the ever going debate between if practical effects are better then CGI and vis versa. and in my honest opinion I lean more with the practical side in the debate. but not by a lot. Like the article goes to say that they both go with each other hand in hand. I always ask that if you can create it in real life then its better then just on the scene. But without one there can not thrive and better its self. I fell in love with creating practical effects and a young age just like tom saivni, makeing different cuts and scrapes on my self and playing with my mothers makeup often justing in trouble for it as well.
      There has and always will be a need for Special Effects techniques in the world no matter what time it is and or where you are. Its one of the oldest art forms out there and take an experienced eye to create something worth looking at. In its own way CGI's are a wonder to have in this world. There are really good CGI's and then there are some really bad ones, And the same goes for practical. But both can be used in the most simplest ways at you probably haven't payed to much attention to. Ever watched a hospital soap opera before.... ER, Grey's Anatomy? The little cuts and scrapes had to be made on set with SXF techniques. Even on the TV show Bones which uses a lot of practical and CGI effects needs to have fake bones, teeth, blood, etc. So with all the being said there is no right or wrong no good or bad just preference and having the ability to produces the desired effect.
