I'm so stoked! My reality show won in Scriptapalooza TV contest and the second one was a finalist and the third one was a quarterfinalist. I think I may be on to something. The promotions have already started. Working to get all 3 sold this year. Although I never imaged writing for TV, I didn't limit myself and I'm glad I didn't.
Believe in yourself and never give up on the dream even when you encounter setbacks and it looks like nothing is happening.

Carrying out the entire complex process of presenting separate frames into a fully featured cinema or movie on this type of highly dignified scale is truly awesome and splendid. The VFX was in the hand of the Masters of the trade..so no question in that..the entire movie is truly beautiful and is a new benchmark.
Thanks for sharing the idea: The most resilient parasite!
C jerome ?
Haha

The Post Production artists still haven't been paid for their work. They were due to be paid by the studio in April and still haven't seen a cent.
Not Bolt...Wall-E
Wow, such an amazing post. I really liked it. It shows that you guys are genius and also have very good knowledge of science and technology. I remember, in my college days I and my three other friends participated in the competition. That competition was all about the innovative technology, in which we had given a project to make something innovative in three days. I know, we all four guys shown the effort and we made the bicycle which runs on battery at the speed of 90km/hr. That was really amazing experience of my life. We won the second prize in that competition but just after two days that bicycle blast off due to over used of battery....lol :)
Well, I guess you can also make something cool in future related innovative technology. All the best to you for the future.
This is a general comment:
Film just looks better, that's a fact.
Its true that digital technologies have become extremely good but so what! and why is there this comparison between the two formats let them run side by side and they will find their own way.
with regard to budget, if you are making a biggish movie the saving is minimal and not worth bothering about (especially when an actors chef,winnie, masseur and spring water flown in from fiji cost more than the daily film stock used).
Most people who shoot digitally, i have observed, lack the discipline of a traditional film maker.
Forget res just look at the pictures everybody gets so excited oh! 5k red 5k of what 5k of noisy blacks and clipped whites fabulous. good for cheap ads and pop corn tv etc, not so good for high end features although people are getting so used to watching small crappy compressed films on their lap tops the expectations are also lower. I think film making and the use of film will soon become a fine art like sculpture or painting.
since digital stills cameras became available on mass everybody who has one thinks they are a photographer, the same is happening with film, now everybody thinks they are cinematographers/directors.
In fact the opposite is true there are just a whole lot more bad photographs/films out there. On the plus side it has enabled the few talented individuals get a chance to shoot a film on a low budget (the cost factor becomes aparent on low budget ads , videos etc...)
Ask any descent colourist and they will tell you film is a better imaging medium.
Anyway, cameras don't make images people do and a good cinematographer/director will give you good looking pictures from any camera by utilizing its pros and cons intelligently and creatively.
I shot on a 5d rescently, not bad, but mainly due,I think, to the canon lenses.

in my opinion Avatar was the only true 3d experience,
the rest was just crap,
most of the 3d movies nowadays are just 40 % in 3d,
thats a great way to earn cash if your a studio,
i mean 6 pounds for the 2d version of the movie and 12 pounds for the 3d version,
give me a break,
in my opinion 3d is still in it's early days,
it would be great to see the Nintendo's 3d technology in theatres,
which requires no stupid glasses at all.
thank God weve got Jim Cameron, or else hollywood wouldve sucked fulltime.
god
wow, okay. can anyone confirm weta backing hybride on this one?
who writes these articles anyway?
great
Anyone who would like to reach me directly with their question, please put your email address into your comment. Thanks, Gene
Inspirational - I especially appreciate the evocation of the cave experience!
I LIKE THIS GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff are two of the biggest ego maniacal Douche Nozzles you will ever meet in hollywood.... Talentless to boot. They were let go from Kung Fu Panda, so its a bit unfair to attribute that films success to them, since they had little or nothing to do with the final script.
Douches.
Good post.You did a good work,and offer much effective imformation for us!Thank you.
All the scenes were in 3D when I saw it. There are alot of factors on the projection side that can mess up the 3D - if the projector isn't setup properly, or if the bulb isn't at the right luminance it can wash out 3D. Also, I've heard there was an issue with certain theaters mistakenly projecting Pirahna movie in 16:9 instead of 2.35 aspect ratio, which means they were zooming in on the frame and that it was screwing up the 3D or completely flattening it out.
I luckily found out about your page and this interview and I was like "WAOUUUH!"
This is such en enriching interesting interview with the so-credited and dedicated Gérald Dupeyrot. I really wonder how to express my feelings towards what I've read.
Let's just say I'm glad, really really glad, I fell here today and that this is making my week.
With all my due respect,
O.S.E.
It's a shame that Satoshi Kon's astonishing cinematic vision should be snuffed out at such an early age.
He was on a journey that took his animation deep into the human psyche, a long way from all the kiddie animation that the "industry" relies on for its profits.
Others will follow in his pioneering footsteps.
A sad loss.
