I’ve started my quest to learn how to use Adobe After Effects, and what better way to start than with Lightsabres!

Interesting little documentary.

Neill Blomkamp Will Melt Your Brain

I do love the TED talks and this is a real good one from the director of District 9.

Unable to attend the actual conference in person, Neill Blomkamp instead recorded this video. I can listen to this kind stuff all day. It’s deep stuff, and makes me even more excited for his next project, which hopefully features ideas he goes over in this talk.

The Phantom Menace – A 70 Minute review

This video has been linked to by just about every blog out there, but I think it’s pure genius, so I’m joining the band wagon.

Only You – Music Video

It’s about time I updated the site.

Here’s a film I just made using a program called Moviestorm. It’s a video of one of my song’s called ‘Only You’.

Enjoy.

Chainsaw Maid Zombie Animation

I don’t want to just post endless youtube videos on the site, but sometimes things are too good not to share.

Thanks to Stephen for sending me the link.

Zombie Love

Simon — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 08:42:06 +0000

As previously stated, zombies rock. Short, zombie-related films are usually pretty bad (see the film section here at Buzztown for an example), so when a film like I Love Sarah Jane finds it’s way to Buzztown our quality control team start getting short of breath.

I Love Sarah Jane is set in a bleak, post-apocalyptic Australian suburb. Where the only adult is a chained-up zombie. Part lord of the Flies, part 28 Days Later the story follows Jimbo, a 13 year old boy with a crush on Sarah Jane.

It’s really an excellent little film and well worth a watch.

Hoverboard For Sale

If you have a spare $30000 dollars lying around, why not splash-out on Marty McFly’s Hoverboard from Back to the Future II.

The eBay auction claims its an original prop from the movies, and is made out of genuine, eh, wood.

For $30000 I’d want it to actually hover!

Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Movie Announced

Simon — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:46:50 +0000

One of my favourite book series, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy has been announced, in the Hollywood Reporter, as finally getting a movie green-light.

It will be produced by Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne who’s last sci-fi project was the family orientated ‘The Last Mimzy’.

The Movie’s have long been in development, due perhaps to their political theme and the huge scope of the stories, which covers centuries in time. Asimov admitted that the original inspiration for the stories was the ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire‘.

Shaye said “Our idea to renew the worldwide audience’s appetite for the story,” [but] “This is not a script you can knock out in six months,”.

Buzztown will be following its development.
