Black Mask

Hong Kong, 1996
As Black Mask opens, a series of distorted images edited together in rapide fire MTV music video style is accompanied by a narrator explaining that a short while ago the Chinese government invested heavily in the creation of a squad of super soldiers named the 701st. The experiment proved disastrous however as it ended up producing super thugs rather than super heroes for the most part. Tsui Chik (Jet Li) was one such bio-engineered soldier who made it out alive when the state opted to liquidate its failed crop. Tsui keeps to himself mostly, working as a librarian and playing chess with his only friend, police inspector Shek Wai-Ho (Ching Wan Lau). When Hong Kong’s mob leaders are murdered in increasingly gruesome fashion in a series of elaborate attacks, Tsui finds himself thrust into action as his super hero...

“The Life of Pi” is certainly an amazing film with terrific special effects. I suppose one could even call it a special effects film first before calling it a traditional film; heck, it’s being heralded as the next “Avatar,” which was all about the effects. While those computer generated images are amazing, there’s also magic that can be done with paint, chalk and a sidewalk. Tracy Lee Stum and her team of artists were commissioned by Twentieth Century Fox to create a spectacular piece of 3D chalk art based on “Life of Pi.” The scene they chose, which has a whale jumping over Pi and the tiger, Richard Parker, was [ Read More ]

Ang Lee's big and beautiful 3D "Life of Pi" adaptation hit DVD and Blu-ray this week, and to celebrate the arrival of Pi and/or Richard Parker coming to your TV, the movie took to the streets. An American street chalk artist by the name of Tracy Lee Stum was charged with recreating one of the film's loveliest scenes on the pavement at L.A. Live.
Stum and her chalk-slinging team spent three days painting away at the graphic project, and it was finally finished on Tuesday, March 12 — not coincidentally, the same date that "Pi" discs hit shelves. Win.
The display features that critical moment of one-ness with nature Pi experiences when a giant whale emerges from the deep blue sea and leaps over their raft. The end result is bananas: It actually looks like the whale is emerging from the totally flat sidewalk.

Tracy Lee Stum is kind of a badass. The 3D-chalk artist has been creating temporary street art for years, but this time around she has been commissioned by the Life of Pi crew to create art to raise awareness for Ang Lee.s film.s Blu-ray and DVD release. There.s no better way to do this than to recreate one of the epic moments in the film, when a whale visits Pi and Richard Parker in the middle of the night (as seen on the 3D Blu-ray cover art). Strum.s 3D chalk art is on display in La Live until March 16. However, if you don.t live in the Los Angeles area, the above video segment gives fans a glimpse at the work it takes to create a large 3D sidewalk creation as well as gives viewers a chance to see the final draft of the design, which...
