Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride | Dr. Grob's Animation Review
Director: Tim Burton & Mike JohnsonRelease Date: September 23, 2005Rating: ★★★★Review: The shy Victor and Victoria are forced by their unsympathetic parents to marry each other. Luckily, they actually like each other, but then Victor accidentally marries the deceased Emily who takes him to a world underground, while Victoria is forced to marry the evil lord Barkis… ‘Corpse Bride’ is a typical Tim Burton film, especially in its art direction, in its 19th century, gothic setting, in its dark humor, and in its jolly portrait of death. Also, the art of ‘Corpse Bride’ is a great improvement on ‘Nightmare before Christmas’. All this make ‘Corpse Bride’, together with that other stop-motion film ‘Wallace and Gromit: the Curse of the Were-Rabbit‘, the best animated feature of 2005/2006, surpassing all computer animated films of those years.

Using Toys and Forced Perspective to Get Professional, Low-Budget Visual Effects
While working on a feature film called The Grind, filmmaker Vashi Nedomansky had to come up with a way to shoot a flashback scene, complete with Humvee, in the desert of Iraq. The only problem? He had neither Iraq, nor a Humvee to work with. Fortunately, he did have the sand dunes outside of Los Angeles and a 1:18 scale model of a Humvee purchased at Walmart for $23. As Nedomansky explains on his blog, “In filmmaking, sometimes the simplest solution will be the cheapest, most realistic and easiest. That’s the situation he found himself in with this Humvee scene. As you can see in the clip at the top, it turned out pretty well. Normally, a professional miniatures shot like this would take some serious time to set up, but as Nedomansky explains, you don’t always have that luxury. To find out more about the setup for this scene, and hear about the experience from the man himself, be sure to head over to his website by clicking here. (via Imaging Resource)

When I was in highschool I spent like a year and a half working on a 5-minute short film. The movie was silly, starred my dad. I made it in my backyard. The unfortunate thing was, they gave me no more than a couple hours’ notice. I was thoroughly unprepared. Thelma Schoonmaker greeted me at the door. Martin Scorsese was intimidating, to say the least. The juxtaposition of scales was overpowering. A few weeks later, I got a reply — he had his assistant send me several books and DVDs (including “A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies“)… and also the list of 39 Foreign Films to watch! In the following months and years I wanted to be able to write Scorsese back and be able to say, “Yes sir, I’ve gone out and watched every film on your list. I have done a piss-poor job of educating myself, and I wanted to do something about it. Six years ago, I had the chance to meet Martin Scorsese. Three intermissions, three screens, a live orchestra… I’m super excited! –Colin
