The Frame - Trailer

Here is the trailer for The Frame, a new movie by Jamin Winans, the director of Ink, which was an exceptionally well done low budget action/fantasy. Ink was an indie hit so this time around Jamin had a bigger budget and more possibilities. Judging by the trailer he made yet another interesting film:

My New Portfolio is Online

It's been many years since I had my own online portfolio, it just didn't seem like I need it, but last year I started to work on a new one. The design has been changed a few times and I'm still tweaking it here and there, but the biggest issue is to find all my old graphics, videos, animations, etc. - there is a lot. Now still a lot of my works are missing but it's enough to put the site online. Slowly I will add more and more stuff to it.

Painted Movie

Here is a trailer of a film from 2011, The Mill and the Cross. Stars Rutger Hauer and it's directed by a polish director, Lech Majewski. What's interesting about this movie is the visual concept. Every image is based on a renaissance painting mainly by Pieter Bruegel. Now, it's not a good movie, it's boring and the CGI lacks quality in many scenes, but it's an interesting concept and I've never seen it done this way. Check out the trailer, it's really something different. Is it a good direction? I'm not sure, but now at least we know why.
