in fact, i was extremely disappointed and it almost felt like he was masking some sort of ruinous spite while he penned score.

What did you think of the film in general?

Wireframe Hell

clientsfromhell:

A client wanted a website for their internal stock management system. He was really all over the show in terms of what the site should do and was constantly adding and removing functionality and pages.

So we decided to map out the whole site in black and white, interactive wireframes before we started designing the pages. That way he could see what the site could and could pick and choose the pages / functionality he did / didnt want.

So we get the B&Ws done, all working and tested. I send him a LENGTHY email that explains that the wireframes are, the fact that they arent visuals but are just line drawings to illustrate what the site layout would be like and page behaviours.

5 minutes after sending to the client I get an email back. “I like the site, but we are not sure about the design. The drawings on each page look a bit basic and arent in line with our brand guidelines…”

I honestly think that this site should be required reading for all clients before starting a project of any kind with creative types.

If you haven’t seen the RIDICULOUS ‘turkey’ themed video contest at my site Film Fights, you gotta check it out.

I especially like the ‘making a turkey’ rap (with autotune), and the dangers of buying cheap meat.

We made it into “Volume One”!! … an indie paper from my hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. In my opinion, way cool. Those are my PEOPLE. My frozen, delightfully-accented, Green Bay Packers-loving people.

Also, that’s a pretty awesome headline. (thanks to my little bro for sending them the tip)

FX Guide has an exhaustive look at the visual fx work on District 9, including these great before and after stills from several vfx shots in the film. It also gives insight into director Neill Blomkamp’s style for running a set.

“True Stories from Famous People” on Nickelodeon (1987)

Celebrities used to be so accessible. Above, a veritable who’s who:

Having never had cable as a kid, Nickelodeon was like a sweet forbidden fruit that I could only taste if I made the pilgrimage to a friend’s house. Every second I could get was pure bliss. Seeing this takes me back to just how magical it was whenever I was lucky enough to sneak a couple minutes of programming.

Best new Tumblr I’ve found in a while. Particularly heartbreaking for anyone who’s had to work freelance before.
