The Illusionist from internation festival

"When Jacques tries to hide from the girl, he ends up in a theater, The Cameo, where Mon oncle (1958) by Jacques Tati is shown. "L'illusionniste"'s script was first written by Tati, whose figure and character was taken to create the main character Jacques Tatischeff (Tati's original name). " when I was watching the movie, the image quality is like old French or Japanese 2D sketch animation, with 3D post-production that create the unique image than the other 3D animation. I love to see the detail and texture of the view and object. It reflect "Tati's central issues (such as old-fashioned life-styles and values confronted by modern technology), his eye for detail, his pleasantly reserved humanity and his wonderful sense for comedic timing and subtle gags are all left intact by the careful makers of this gem."The movie basically told"the story of an ageing slight-of-hand magician -- near enough in both appearance and manner to be M. Hulot himself -- who takes his outdated stage act from Paris to the UK. An invitation to perform in the Hebrides isles brings him to Scotland where his magic and kindness inspires a naïve young maiden to tag-along with him and the two find themselves in Edinburgh. " and rock star's took his show time. While he can only afford to rent a studio with painter, gymnast which reflect the poor situation that all artist have. They look nice and shiny on the stage, but poor and shabby when they practicing. The flesh eating rabbit is also another special point.

Cold Blood - Short Horror Film 2010 (18+Horror)


Review of Cold Blood.
The movie began with a women was trapped, in a warehouse by first point view, with a body lying besides her. First weird sound played, told the character has been in danger. Afterwords a high angle shot make her making them appear less powerful. Then a sound of motor with screaming played. What is that? Could be a car approaching, a chain saw, or something even worse? Then first clue appear. She saw a phone, but couldn't reach the line. The tension was playing well that audience worried about the character if she could make it. Bringing the audiences' emotion into the movie make them hold their breath. After the door opened, we now can see it's a invincible musk killed movie, which means the killed was appearing invincible and powerful compare with main character. The musk with blood is for making the killer looks visually horror, also present that the screaming was just done by him. All the chains hanging on the ceiling imply the body may be tortured. First clue come back that the killer found out the phone is been moved which prove the character is still alive and been hiding somewhere in the warehouse. Then first point of view of the character, the second time bring the audiences' in. The killer is approaching this way, will he find her? Must be. But when? Then the killer disappear from the view of character, we expect the killer gonna suddenly appear in the window with a extremely close up, just like he found us. But is wasn't happen, a shadow floating away, and a wired sound played. A bigger drop is building up! Then the "body" attacked him from the back, which somehow distract us from the tension that the killer gonna come toward us, we gotta a company! Then the "body" was killed by cutting through the throat without even defense, also indirect prove the power and cold blood of the killer. He will really kill you, not just looking scary. Second clue, a cellphone? Why dose a killer put so many cellphone? When she picks up the phone, she got smashed by the killer. Then the killer started to touch her while she woke up. She picked up the pipe, smash the killer down, and keep beating the killer. But the kill still survived. The most beautiful part came up, main character shoot a nail into the neck. While the killer was dying on the drill, she press the start button. At this stage everything goes the other way round, that the killer is actually being tortured, who is cold blood?

Statement of Cinemetic Flunear

Rail slider is a device that fully defined what kind of movie can be filmed. It flexible which could fit on variable width of edges of concrete, tracks, hand-rails, also strictly constraint, which will not work on flat surface(people can walk on), hand holding(eye lever), that how people not see the city normally on the pavement. It films track or any surface it contact with to present the movement of track between surrounding views as a comparison. It connects single piece of hand rail as an exciting roller coaster track which leads people into a journey of traveling around the city with a existing routine. People are getting smaller and restricted by a little dolly slider that decide what they could see. But the glory routine is designed in any way that person who films it.
Music is part of the journey as well. "music
does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. " as John Denver said. Music is playing with people's emotion by warm up, break beat, wind back, so is roller coaster. Every track going upward build up tension. When it reaches the top, suddenly drop down make people hold their breath. My movie symbolic roller coaster, roller coaster symbolic people's emotion. Film, music and roller coaster are interactive with people's emotion by the same way.
However as a experimental movie, audio shouldn't overwhelm the footage itself. Otherwise it turns into a music video, Music performs as a song, and what I did match the content of music and film is not considerable important. But footage was taken by rail slider will not affect people's exciting experience by any audio even if it standalone by the original sliding noise.
I think the device still got further development potential. It should get better realistic stimulation by 3D vision. And let everybody wearing 3D glasses with popcorn and drink watch the film. How's that gonna be? :-)

New design

I was doing solidworks of my original design on Saturday night. When I started doing dolly wheel part, I been looked up how to set up the wheel properly, then a image of roller coaster came up. It is somehow what i am after, because the position where it got track is where needed put camera in. Then I look up Youtube type in rail slider, a skateboarder slide down from the rail, which inspired me to stop making the track. Why not use whole lot track that are already there? Hand rail, deck rail. So we explore the city by how city builder wants us to.
