George Lucas, Free to Follow His Instincts
After reading the depressing prediction of future Indie film by Mark Gill, I found this great article in the NY Times about George Lucas. While hardly perceived as an “Independent” he does have an interesting unique approach to the movie making business that defies traditional big budget doctrine… have fun.
(By the way, here are a few photos I took at a visit to the Letterman Digital Arts Center at the Presidio a few years ago.)
A series of photos showing life in London in 2090, when rising sea levels have inundated the city.
More on the series here.
The single biggest change should be to only make movies that we absolutely love. Not ones we like. Not ones we need to do as a favor. Not the ones we do because they seem like a good “piece of business.” Not ones we do because we think, hope or wish that “the kids” will like them. Not the knock-offs of the ones that worked at the box office last year. In a word, we should only pick the films we’re passionate about—and that have an audience.

Garrett showed me this very cool web-based presentation software last week, recreating a Keynote app-like experience online.
A very cool music video performed by Playmobil Pirates.
I love how they were able to capture a cinematic look and tell the story just through camera movement and good editing, and not having to resort to stop motion to create motion.
Gone in a Flash—A great HD short by Chris Crutchfield. Great technique. Great production values. Great visual style. And a great storytelling style. What can I say… It’s great!
The very cool miniature and photography work of Lori Nix. All of her work seems to be inspired by disasters. In her bio she talks about growing up in Kansas and being surrounded by disaster.
