Return of the Jedi done by J.J. Abrams

 

I found this on Aint It  Cool News…

Ive seen a lot of fan film, ALL are well intentioned  but many are painfully amateurish…. kids in costume in their local park banging  toy sabers together…. fanboys in front of a green screen, using the camcorders mike…

 

There was the classic TROOPS, whos producers wisely played to their weaknesses, that since they were shooting on video why not just make it look like an episode of the TV show COPS…?

This “Empire Falls” looks like they were copying the look seen the “Force Awakens” trailer……  they really did a good job BUT arent the troopers now retconned to be clones of Jango Fett and if they DO mix in new recruits don’t they  give the newbies haircuts? Still I give this an A for effort and a B-plus for execution!

 

And lets not forget the first ever Star Wars fan film:

Scientology Big Blue Los Angeles

I made a 3D model of a famous building in Los Angeles. Made in Cinema 4D with some pieces of the model made in Photoshop and Illustrator.

 

 

I’ve had the idea to a documentary, or more accurately, a best of/”readers digest” of the hundreds of videos about Scientology that inhabit Youtube.

Who knows if I’ll ever get around to making it/  I’ve also offered these graphics to another producer  who’s working on a Scientology documentary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology

”  Los Angeles, California, has the largest concentration of Scientologists and Scientology-related organizations in the world, with the church’s most visible presence being in the Hollywood district of the city. The organization owns a former hospital on Fountain Avenue which houses Scientology’s West Coast headquarters, the Pacific Area Command Base — often referred to as “PAC Base” or “Big Blue”, after its blue paint job. Adjacent buildings include headquarters of several internal Scientology divisions, including the American Saint Hill Organization, the Advanced Organization of Los Angeles, and the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles. All these organizations are integrated within the corporation Church of Scientology Western United States.

The Church of Scientology successfully campaigned to have the city of Los Angeles rename one block of a street running through this complex “L. Ron Hubbard Way.” The street has been paved in brick.

I’ve never been a Scientologist, but I’ve been long fascinated by the stories, good and bad, about this group!

 

Cool 80s animation, “Warriors of the Wasteland”

Is there a more definitive 80s band than “Frankie goes to Hollywood”?

This video combines traditional hand drawn animation with photo collage motion graphics that could easily be done today with photoshop / after effects but back then surely had to be done the old/ much harder way of really cutting and filming the pictures.

 

 

I love these Motion Graphics!

I didn’t make these ( don’t I wish ) but I want to promote art I like. And I really like what these folks are making!
