sony pictures: cloudy with a chances of meat balls 2



Article: 
     Even though i have not seen the second film of cloudy with a chance of meat balls. i heard by some friends that is was a good movie. and seeing some shots from the movies the way that they use the color and physical properties are really cool. in one of the videos in the article they where saying that they had to change the viscosity of the water to match coconut milk, maple syrup, & the jelly that strawberry poops out. and its just that attention to detail that just makes the film all in itself better. they also said that for the grass they did not just want green on the floor they wanted the look and feel of it as well. which i agree on that subject. Sony has really been making it big with these animated films taking in $35 million dollars in the first week that it was out. not bad for a sequel. 

Options:
      I did watch the first film and thought it was cute. when I saw that there was a second movie coming out i was a little skeptical that it was not going to be as good as the first.
       I do think that the use of the coloring and physical properties where beautifully shown in this film.  

Question:
      I wonder if they will make a third one?  

Not Just CGI: The Incredible Tech of Horror-Movie Monsters

Article:
    
    people automatically think that all monsters are now created by a computer and special effects make-up is gone. well thats not the cast for some of the new films that have been released; such as World War Z,  A Nightmare On Elm Street, and Let Me In. we people see the movie World War Z and see all of the zombies a lot of those are a CGI but there was a lot of actors in makeup doing everything that the zombies are doing. there was also a lot of special effects make-up in the TV shows like ER. many film makes rather have the real this than just a CGI because if you have something tangible then you can see how it would really act under real world circumstances like gravity and temperature. but where make up and silicone cant go CGI's come in to fill in the holes. 
      And that is the great thing about this two techniques go hand in hand explained by Coulier "What can't be fixed in the physical world can often be smoothed out by digital technology. If production can't afford the finest wigs and makeup,  said, they often can afford digital touch-ups to improve the look." 

Opinions: 
     I guess being a so called special effects make-up artist i absolute love creating monsters and creatures  lets me express my thoughts about certain things. And to in a cents unnatural things. 
     After working in the entreatments dept. at Darien Lake i learned how to do different things with latex and air brushes. and i just love how in this movies there is so much make-up art shown. 

Question:
      I wonder how to make latex water proof? one drop of H2O and comes right off.

Why are we so obsessed with things that want to eat our brains?


 Zombie films have always been around stretching all way back to 80 years ago. They got their likeness of kind of like an alter ego to humanity. They show the darker kind aside to humans that just want to consume consume and heaven and listen need for having everything and anything that they see. This is displayed in many films like Zombieland world war Z & the T-virus and many more. Many filmmakers get the motivation and the way that they want to show the zombies moving from watching videos of crowds of people stampeding and running over one another try to get to the one item that they want which would be in the zombies mind chewing flash. But even though many people say that they do not like zombies America shows that we just want to see more and more movies of them and when a movie a new movie comes out with that in America will just eat it up like the zombies will do for themselves.

 Opinions:
    Personally I hate zombie movies I've never liked them they always creep me out they've always give me nightmares around little kid and still hot my dreams to this day.
    But after painting and creating a lot of zombies for my job at fright fest at Darien lake I kind of gotten over the fear of zombies even though I like in Hollywood magic they can make them look really realistic answer distilling Erie East sense to me about them so I roll really pay attention to them if they're in a movie but it's kind of lessens the fear in my mind about zombies.

Question:
     I remember once watching a movie called the walking dead and a group of people work fighting off zombies that were walking so slow you could out run them by miles so my question is why in today's movies zombies have this superhero like superhero sense of running ability and jumping ability if back then when their first created they had a very fragile and a cute way of walking.
Do animated female characters need to be pretty?

   Many believe that when they hear animated female they automatically assume that they're going to be tall skinny long exotic colored hair big breast and have all the wanted/ desires of a man's view on women.
   Christine Panushka professor of animation at USC agree that humans people that are not caricatures are difficult to animate anyway. But is it is technically harder to animate a woman? People ask in terms of skeletons and muscles and how we move, they're the same Panushka said.
    But by the looks of it it looks like they took the face of the main female character in tangled and just did some editing on the pigment of her face with the color of her eyes and adding freckles in low tones and just changed the name.

  Opinions:
   Even tho I'm a guy I think that when I see animated female character with big breasts that it's really just a Sextus man behind and editing program creating what he wishes to see in all females.
   And that I think that what Pixar is doing which is giving more movies with female leads that are animating dumb in not a sexist way – still shows beauty is a good way to get young girls confidence in the way they look.

Question:
  Why is it that Pixar is making the female lead looks so identical?

Animated films is always been a popular subject with any type of person throughout the years many families have enjoyed the countless films I created like the iron giant the incredible's ratatouille turbo and many more with animation also comes the price of being too cheesy and/or being too animated for the person to really follow the story plot.
  In my opinion I really like a good life person video with special facts I'm really not the person to go and watch a real big animated movie such as iron giant or ratatouille which also iron giant is when I favorite videos but I'm just not the person to go out and really put my heart and soul into watching all these different types animated movies I like to follow Harry Potter and twilight Saga's like those were their special facts book real life people. But I also do know that animated films are usually lumped together since technically they're the  only thing that's in common is the factor that they are produced via live action.


Opinions:
  Again I'm really not a big animation fan but I do like watching him and just the display of color and secret nice sounds and music really drawn my attention to how amazing the films can be.
  If I saw more action with special facts that look real it probably would be more appealing to my eye.


Question:
  Why do animation videos get so bad reviews but also so good reviews is never like a happy medium
How so many rooted for breaking bad with Walter White

    I'm really not sure how to start off this blog with the topic of how so many rooted for breaking bad with Walter White because I never watch the movie or TV show but I hear that a lot of people like it it's got a lot of reviews. So I guess breaking bad is a television show that is been on the air for quite a while and it's stars man named Walter White that plays the main character.
   Another character is Margalo which is one of the handfuls of researchers were trying to figure out how movies and television manipulates thoughts and emotions for breaking bad he says the creator quickly build up a symphony for the nerdy chemistry teacher by letting us see the world full of obstacles thoughts through Walters eyes.
   Breaking bad's plot with these points of view shot sequence from Walter's point of view they use that they use one of the most critical moments in the series when Walter finds out that he's dying of lung cancer.
    Again I do feel really bad that I don't know anything about this TV show even though I've read this article I'm still very sketchy on how how this TV series is and I guess I just have to be a fan or person I just watched it to really get it because this is just confuse me so much.


Opinion:
  Breaking bad seems like it's a good TV show really don't know what channel it is on but if I thought I wouldn't mind stopping and watching for little bit.
  Even though I'm not one for emotional dramas I wouldn't mind looking into it. I'm more of educational A documentary person.


Question:
  Why wouldn't Walter White take this TV series really run with it for a lot more serious I mean he could've gotten a good three or four more years out of this TV show.
