Spotlight On: Team Generous 2012
Our friends at Danish studio Noerlum do this awesome thing every year called Team Generous... They gather a group together for a couple of weeks with a creative or technical challenge in mind and make a pro bono short film for a worthy organization. How cool is that? Two years ago, I consulted on their piece for Save the Children and just loved it! Last year, they supported Medics Without Borders. This year, the lucky beneficiary is the World Wildlife Fund. Check out beautiful result of the Team Generous collaboration this year! See it on the Noerlum page or on... Continue reading

The Wrap Review: Witty, moving "Arthur Christmas" should be annual tradition
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - One thing I learned while writing my holiday film guide "Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas" is that there are two kinds of plots in this sub-genre with a tendency to stink on ice: movies about Santa, and anything where somebody has to save Christmas. ("Miracle on 34th Street," "Elf" and "Ernest Saves Christmas" among the obvious exceptions.) via news.yahoo.com Of all the reviews I've read, I really enjoyed this one... Continue reading

A Definition of Cinematic Design
I am often asked what I mean when I use the term 'cinematic design' in reference to my work or in lectures about visual storytelling and/or cinematography. This term is one I started using when developing the filming plan for Finding Nemo out of a desire to describe the overarching visual story design of a film. Continue reading

Showcase: Interview About Previsualization
Here is an interview done by HFF Academy at this year's Insight Out conference (March 2010). I gave a talk on previs at the conference, but this interview was conducted separately, and gave me more of an opportunity to express my personal point of view and philosphy regarding previsualization and its role in filmmaking.

Showcase: Previs for Live-Action Commercial
Here is a recent previsualization we did for a live-action commercial. Of course, everything you see would be replaced by real elements on location during production. Everything we've created is to real-world scale so you can analyze the previs for how to achieve the shots in live-action. We always shoot our footage a little long, allowing for coverage so that an editor can cut the scene creatively. Since the edit is where things ultimately come together, it's wonderful to be able to shape the shots and staging in synergy with the cut. This helps the filmmaker get to the core... Continue reading

Perspective: The Importance of Log Lines
I happen to be teaching at The Animation Workshop in Denmark right now, and among other things, I’ve been working with the students on log lines for their graduation films. And it’s reminded me yet again how valuable constructing a log line is. Not just for being able to succinctly pitch your project, but for really digging down into the heart of what the story is. Not only that, but it proves to be an incredibly valuable tool in honing in on how to best structure the film visually in terms of its cinematic design (the holistic design supporting the...

Showcase: Previs for Animated Commercial
Here is an example of previs for an animated commercial. What I love about working in animation is how much everything can be designed to underscore the story and emotion. One of the best things about previs, is that it can bring this kind of thinking and control to live action filmmaking as well. What we really enjoyed about this little piece was the emphasis on lighting as a part of telling the story. Typically, lighting is difficult to do early in the CG process. But the way we work at Twenty One Inc, we are able to design and... Continue reading
