Today was a busy day for some of the smaller guilds with the Visual Effects Society, the Cinema Audio Society, and the Makeup and Hairstylists Guilds all announcing their nominations for 2013.
First, we have the Ves, whose main category to look at is “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Feature Motion Picture,” where we find Gravity and four other nominees that are just going to have to be happy with the fact that they got nominated. This is perhaps the easiest category to call in the entirety of awards season, and I don’t mean just here, but for the Oscar as well (Last year’s winner, Life of Pi, easily took this category before going on to claim the Oscar). It’s true that films like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness had outstanding effects as well, but nothing even came close to the amazing,...

At one time it was the game industry that wanted to emulate films. But now the movie industry is adopting the technology of video games
Amid the debate about television stealing the film industry's thunder, another entertainment form has crept up unnoticed, further threatening Hollywood's creative hegemony: video games. With a new, much more powerful generation of games consoles poised to arrive – Microsoft's Xbox One goes on sale on Friday, with Sony's PlayStation 4 due a week later – the games companies reckon they finally have the ammunition to shake off the perception that their digital epics are inferior to movies.
I'm in a place that could not reinforce that impression more emphatically: the historic Ealing studios, where classics such as The Lavender Hill Mob and The Ladykillers were filmed. But I'm here to experience the process of making a video game called Ryse: Son of Rome, an epic tale charting the Roman conquest of Britain,...

Peaceforce is a Danish scifi short currently in post-production and is directed by Peter Gornstein who has worked as a concept artist on a few scifi features including Starship Troopers and Contact. It's about a future devasted by econmic collapse ... and a rampaging elephant. Probably why it was originally titled "The Elephant."
Synopsis:
We are in Copenhagen in 2045, where a global economic collapse has left humanity on the brink of total anarchy.
This is where we encounter Daniel - a young and inexperienced Peace Force Officer. He volunteers to take off on an unusual mission – there is talk among the locals of an elephant that has gone berserk leaving dead and injured in its wake.
Everyone knows that elephants no longer exists - still Daniel feels obliged to help these unfortunate people, but before long he is in over his head. What do you do when your good intentions suddenly collide with the relentless reality?...
