Aaron Sims is one of the most successful special effects artists and art directors in Hollywood today, having worked on everything from Men In Black to Sucker Punch. But he has yet to helm a feature film as director. That might all change as the internet buzzes over his latest passion project. Archetype is a seven-minute short that puts lots of major sci-fi films to shame...
This is awesome... just would love to see this as a full feature.
This is an unofficial opening sequence for "The Adventures of Tintin" which features elements from each of the 24 books.. This superb work of motion design is created by Slimjimstudios. The music is created by Ray Parker and Tom Szczesniak.

Here is a list of the most impressive characters to grace the silverscreen, see if you agree? I am not so sure about No. 8. Is there any characters you think are missing from this list?
Always been a fan of Pixars work, and this will be there next project it seems... BRAVE! check out the link to there show website and have a look at the artwork. Some nice paint work there that has me intrigued.
Leading VFX studio MPC has explained how it created 300 plus shots for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The article covers their Environments and Crowd Sims. Not sure about the movie or the VFX, have any of you seen this movie at all yet? what is your opinion? any good?
Lasseter has some great insights into the way he sees his work, and how I imagine he has tried to instill this in his team at Pixar. From my perspective it is refreshing to see a different approach, as opposed to it being all about the bottom dollar. I really would love to see this kind of vision shared with all artist. Not easy to find this kind of work environment, and very difficult to foster. But one I think that is sooo much more productive for creatives! Follow the link and have a read!
MPC has shared another great VFX Breakdown of their involvement with The Chronicles of Narnia - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Congratulations on the great work guys!
MPC’s main challenge was to create some of the key characters for the film. MPC’s team of animators once again performed the role of Reepicheep the mouse, voiced by Simon Pegg. Reepicheep – a courageous knight of Narnia - accompanies Caspian on his voyage in the hope of finding Aslan's Country at the end of the world. To make sure Reepicheep’s sword skills were unrivalled, MPC’s Animators took fencing classes to learn the moves and tricks of the trade. With over 200 hero shots, Reepicheep was upgraded to take the spotlight. MPC's art department designed subtle changes for a wiser and more mature Reepicheep. MPC’s Furtility was once again the grooming tool of choice.
