Anatomy of a Spot: Commonwealth Club

RED brings a quality boost to a low-budget quickly-shot spot.

In this economy one has to stretch every production dollar as far as it can go. This doesn’t mean compromising on quality, though: keeping things simple can yield huge dividends. This includes knowing when it’s okay to shoot with available light, and when natural light needs a little help.

World’s Only “Death Oompah” Band Gets Virtual Reality Music Video

The Tiger Lillies sail to a virtual arctic wasteland for their new album “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

An accordion-playing lead singer; a drummer who occasionally uses a doll instead of drumsticks; and a song based on the “Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” Just another day on set with one of the most macabre bands in existence: the Tiger Lillies.

Top VFX/MoGraph Twitterers to Follow

Great Links to Cool VFX and Motion Graphics Served Fresh

Topher Welsh at the videohive blog writes exactly how I feel about Twitter:

“Personally I think that the whole “updating your status” part of Twitter is ridiculous.  There, I said it.  I don’t care what you are eating for dinner, or if someone is being annoying in the movie theatre.  Keep it to yourself.  The thing that keeps me addicted to Twitter is the people that tweet the cool stuff:  The behind the scenes of Terminator Salvation, The VFX breakdown of Fast and Furious 4, the new tutorial that Aharon Rabinowitz just put onto Red Giant TV.  Those are the reasons why I use Twitter, and these are the people that you should be following.”

See his short list of folks to follow here. Be sure to scroll down to the comments section for a few more folks to follow.
