Apparently WE are not included in the "future of filmmaking"
So as an all around animation/film/everything geek... I try to follow whats going on in the film biz etc...
Now with Pocahontas in Blue making all the money in the world and with Spielberg making "Tintin" with the same "revolutionary" technology those dinosaurs and they cronies are hailing 3d mocap technology "the future of filmmaking" Ok so this is the future here...
Does anyone else not find this shit totally ridiculous?!? ^ ^ Ok so you get real living human actors to put on these awkward gangly suits, with markers all over they faces to dance around as you wave sticks at them and shit? AND this is done because it gives the director more control? Because you could just have animators keyframe animate the stuff? OH but I see that takes the CONTROL away from the DIRECTORS....
Now you and I as independent animators... lets get with the future! Ok let me get a million dollars for the gear...ok ok let me rent a warehouse to haus all this crap... let me hire a bunch of actors and prevent them from acting cause I'm telling them exactly what to do and where to step with they predator suits on...
Oh wait we can't afford to do this... this new way of filmmaling completely LOCKS OUT regular people and only allows the RICH to make films... I mean they are RICH so they are better than everyone else and they make TONS OF MONEY so they must be the best and the smartest and the most talented so yeh lets follow them into the future!
Now after reading some interviews with Lucas, Spielberg and Cameron about this new way of filmmaking... I have come to the conclusion that they really want to make films the way I DO with TOTAL CONTROL yet they LACK THE SKILLS to do it so they have to burn all these resources, spend profane amounts of money and create this RIDICULOUS way of making films simply because time has passed them by and they didnt keep up....They want the CONTROL but they dont have the SKILLS.... The future of filmmaking here and it has nothing to do with people dancing around with predator dreads with old d00ds waving sticks at them saying "this is a dinosaur" RAARRRRRR!
The future of filmmaking is in the INDIVIDUAL having total control over the process because HE/SHE can do EVERYTHING required by the process WITHOUT the need for profane sums of money because they are utilizing consumer level technology which gets more powerful and cheaper everyday... So they are not tethered to investors... they are not tethered to corporations with they product placement bullshit... they are free to do anything they want...
SO what they will give you with this FUTURE is the SAME OLD SHIT in a NEW WAY... you should demand NEW THINGS in A NEW WAY! The masses will cheer for REMAKES, REBOOTS, RETAKES and ADAPTATIONS in 3d till they eyeballs fall out as long as the publicity and advertising budgets allows adequate saturation... because it makes them comfortable.
I know here in A_merica everything is excused as LONG AS YOU MAKE TONS OF MONEY... and I know here people assume that which makes the most money is obviously the best... and that which is the most popular is obviously the best... and they love using the term "laughing all the way to the bank" but FUCK THAT and FUCK YOU if you believe that! You have no right to utter the word "art" or "film" you capitalistic whore scumbag! GTFO my blog right now ^ ^ I'm HERE to bring film back into ART where it belongs... thats where it was before bean counters and talentless fuX brought the nepotist "it's who you know or who you blow" ladder out...
Is this really the rehashed in 3d future that you want?
If Orson Welles were alive right now I'm sure he'd bitchslap these lazy modern directors whilst learning his Cinema 4d ^ ^
