Well, we all knew I wouldn’t be able to keep to a regular update schedule while at Uni. I go into Uni, nothing happens, I come back, sleep and repeat.

However for those interested why not head over to my project blog (also lacking in updates, until now!) and see what I have been spending ALL my time on.

Later.

I…I…I’m not sure what to say. (- Literally Speechless.) It seemed to affect everyone differently. Some dismissed it, most loved it. I really loved it. It just suited me, it felt familiar almost. I think it is quite suited to my imagination, like one reviewer once said, it was almost like being in a dream.

Words: Outstanding, beautiful, emotional, stunning, heart-breaking, funny.

I do feel lucky to be one of the first to ever see it, I am so ridiculously happy right now. Incredible.

Going to see it again? Only about another 6 times.

The hype and discussion was making it out to be another 3D film. Albeit a legendary one. However I agree with James Cameron (the director), it really isn’t about the 3D, the story enthrals you, binds you and the world is incredibly immersive, almost real.

I will add, the 3D makes it even more immersive, you are really there, you see all that the director wants you see. So stunning. There are no gimmicky bullets coming out of the screen, its all about the depth, the realism….

That will have to do until I get my head together. Take his and my word for it, GO SEE IT! (IN 3D).

To quote a friend:

Just came back from a pre-premier 3D viewing of Avatar.
It was a sheer blast and impossible to describe with words as the experience is something I have never witnessed before.
Seriously, don’t watch this anywhere else than in a 3D cinema! You will realize for the first time what it means to really get immersed into a fantastical world.

For those who don’t know, James Cameron developed a new 3D stereoscopic camera system (’Virtual Camera’) that allows him to see his actors turned into CG characters and set in CG environments in real-time while shooting and also lends extensive 3D depth to the images. CG effects are no longer an exclusive part of post-production that need to be inserted afterwards but can be viewed and altered during shooting according to the director’s and actors’ needs.

And now look forward to seeing it on the big screen in 3D (and nowhere else…)!

It’s about time! Head over to my project site at Rablcube to see what I finally managed to get to work. The link is up there in the menu bar too.

Hey look, it’s all those reviews I promised you, wrote, then never posted. <3 you really. (Ed Note: Srsly! <3 = heart/love, do I have to tell you everything.)

Time to be harsh about stuff, and things.

Films & Movies

Avatar - Not Released.

If this film is anywhere near as good as I think it will be and as the 14 years or so it has had to improve says it will be, then I am going to need several note pads to even begin to explain to you all the subtleties and amazing work that has gone in to this film. I will review it with a summary later if your interested.

Pre-Watch Score: 10/10 (Don’t expect this to decrease either.)

Follow the link for oh so many more long reviews. (Oh joy…).
