So as those that follow us in <a href="https://twitter.com/brothersday" target="_blank">Twitter</a> probably know already, <a href="http://bit.ly/1cyQDvL" target="_blank">Brothers day</a> is nearly finished now. As ever, we depend on the time people can dedicate us in between paid projects, so we cannot give a date yet, but we hope we'll be able to show the film in some way this year.<br />
<br />
Making a film is a lot of work on a lot of different fronts, here's a brief summary of the progress at the moment:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinEyGeVxaO2QK3a984IEZ0USqL0lJsALucfUUKo8nzRzLkLc6l0Q61pJ9tYsyeKpEjSksYOUNVI4wQYgabprDEjLCzrZn2graPW8NSlsApC-95-n9pQRMt5Rr97fYZ-BeIkdt5kDV4x0I/s1600/2014+01+12+5453600411.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinEyGeVxaO2QK3a984IEZ0USqL0lJsALucfUUKo8nzRzLkLc6l0Q61pJ9tYsyeKpEjSksYOUNVI4wQYgabprDEjLCzrZn2graPW8NSlsApC-95-n9pQRMt5Rr97fYZ-BeIkdt5kDV4x0I/s1600/2014+01+12+5453600411.jpg" height="224" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Done <a href="http://brothersdayfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/brothers-day-long-edit.html" target="_blank">since the last update</a>:</b><br />
- Edit: we locked the edit soon after that. Done and dusted, yes!<br />
- Digital corrections: reframing some shots, stabilizing others, duplicating extras (what!? :), making day into night and a bit of everything else. The magic and time-consuming joys of digital post-production. It took a lot of work, but sure makes the film a lot better.<br />
- Music tracks: such as <a href="https://soundcloud.com/reminiss87/reminiss-message-to-my-brother" target="_blank">this</a> recently released track. Remi has now finished the last one of his many contributions to the film. Well done, Remi!<br />
- Titles: we have a fantastic design, can't wait for you guys to see them. We also have a cool poster matching the titles that we'll be sharing publicly shortly.<br />
<br />
<b>Working on now:</b><br />
- Grading: I've been working hard with <a href="https://twitter.com/People_Staring/status/464385266787319808" target="_blank">Luca</a>, the DOP on making the film look as cool as possible. Here's the proof:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://twitter.com/People_Staring/status/464385266787319808" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPld3kHYr9Ehd3FNBv7YzS_smPjCMiJ3HiNXg9vxz_omHcqHlKmXwGC9RXKEm6ITkig0zTs4zmuU-C1suJ4Q3jzZqs0WDtI_Dip8ENcZhe_OmRrNfFF5B0XZGkgE4bSYN2Hva4drh8LSM/s1600/Luca+grade+Sakinah+-+BoF-DAmIgAEu9LH.jpg" height="224" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
- Sound post: Foley, atmospheres and the rest of sound design (those sounds that have to be created or improved) are well under way thanks to the wonderful guys at SSR. So is dialogue editing (making them sound as good as possible!).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/brothersdayfilm" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic1aA1rfXcugTiifu7MCw71GcC1Dynw1y_3TXXOZYqzq4LHddwoN1vqKK67bHuVcRH5vhoYhZ0qeUmsiGG6Tnf6rhpcu1CnysaTSUPUj9FpY54etFPJZk1FYEAhLjaiDm999lOIyRX0Zg/s1600/SSR+Andy+Emma.jpg" height="224" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
- Additional score: all the incidental music for all the other parts of the film that need it.<br />
<br />
<b>Left to do:</b><br />
- ADR: we have some ADR to schedule. This is those bits of sounds that have to be re-recorded because -for whatever reason- they weren't clear enough.<br />
- Final mix (putting all the sounds, music and dialogues together!)<br />
<br />
So that's it for now, you know exactly where we are now. You can follow the more frequent updates in <a href="https://twitter.com/brothersday" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brothersdayfilm" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, if you so wish!<br />

The next amazing technology leap in film-making is upon us: <a href="http://www.redsharknews.com/technology/item/1537-this-is-amazing-it-s-real,-and-it-s-going-to-change-everything-we-know-about-making-films" target="_blank">placing our cameras in Post-production</a>, or at least being able to tweak its position. Great option to have, although -as usual in these cases- also means more potential fiddling time in front of the computer.<br />
<br />
And it looks incredibly cool too, like a 3D application or a game. Only, it's real. Too exciting.<br />

It's obviously not going to happen tomorrow, especially for indie film, but how amazing it is that it is now being used at all!?Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01298620029641037405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493272407912563059.post-48745542832359921762013-11-15T11:35:00.004+00:002013-11-15T11:40:29.389+00:00Remote touch. A step closer.<br />
Imagine having a skype call. Only, you can now shake hands with the person at the other end of the word after your interview. Or pinch your friend back in your native country. Kiss your girlfriend when she is away. I have always thought that would change relationships in a way we can't possibly understand right now, plus it would make distances effectively disappear. Simply too large a thought to handle.<br />
<br />
Well, we're not quite there. Yet, with MIT now having reached <a href="http://www.fastcodesign.com/3021522/innovation-by-design/mit-invents-a-shapeshifting-display-you-can-reach-through-and-touch" target="_blank">this stage</a>, we are now a step closer. Watch and marvel.<br />

Looking forward to the next step. So exciting to be living all this technology!Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01298620029641037405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493272407912563059.post-90469684100005185502013-08-15T11:37:00.000+01:002013-08-15T11:37:04.649+01:00Brothers day - The long edit<br />
"Where are you with the editing for <b>Brothers day</b>?" -some people keep asking me. Not surprisingly, since it's been about a year since we released the trailer for (if you haven’t seen it, you can do <a href="http://vimeo.com/41626345" target="_blank">here</a>). So I thought I'd give a quick update on what’s happening.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPwymoQ4tzDUtDvab_QRcj473aJYN_2wCoROpwBNVsQ0JszJnzL5tw7QILXhl-fIPppDSrhYeSyuAgnwr68DxfzqEaUS8rR8BVLf0wg7rkDVZUQ5jWu1vLIihti-vcuTkXjIxazVY5Us4/s1600/2013-08-12+10.22.47.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPwymoQ4tzDUtDvab_QRcj473aJYN_2wCoROpwBNVsQ0JszJnzL5tw7QILXhl-fIPppDSrhYeSyuAgnwr68DxfzqEaUS8rR8BVLf0wg7rkDVZUQ5jWu1vLIihti-vcuTkXjIxazVY5Us4/s400/2013-08-12+10.22.47.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So why so slow!?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The reason things take so long, as some of you know already, is still the same <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/brothers-day-trailer-step_09.html" target="_blank">as explained then</a>. Everyone working in this film is taking time out of their daily busy lives and not getting paid for it, and there's a limit to the speed we can pick up with this system. That means we still need some more patience from all of you lovely people who are waiting to see it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So where are we specifically?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although we've had a number of other assistant editors helping along the way, so far the bulk of the cutting has been done by editor Terence Johnson and yours truly. That is, 1) an assembly edit we have already left way behind, and -what we're currently working on and hope to have finished by the end of this month- 2) the rough cut. A big and important step for the film, but one that, sadly, we'll not be able to share with the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The rough what?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those who don't know what all these terms mean, (while the assembly is more of a working guide of what happens and when), <u>the rough cut is cut of the film that already contains all the scenes that will be in the film, plus a choice of shots, plus temporary sound and music tracks</u>. It still requires a lot of trimming and polishing, and it’s usually longer than the finished film will be, but it is at this point a lot closer and, if the job is done right, it should “feel” like it. Digital effects and fixes need to be added still, and audio treated so that it sounds great, and of course actual sound design and music done too. We do have some music tracks actually, like the one of Remi’s we used for the trailer, but still need a lot more done. I can’t wait to fully get into all this but hey, step by step.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there you go, things are happening at a slow, yet steady pace, and we are hoping for a 2014 release. Thanks so much everyone who is waiting for this, you're all so incredibly nice people :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, for those who don't know, we publish behind-the-scenes pictures in Facebook every week, plus an occasional update like this. Head <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brothersdayfilm" target="_blank">over there</a> and like it/subscribe if you want to stay in the loop!</div>

<br />
Low-budget indie film making can take forever. Even longer sometimes, for it is done on and off, with cast and crew doing their best to take time from paid projects and general life. So it's great to finally be able to share the trailer of one such films today: <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/brothersdayfilm" target="_blank">BROTHERS DAY</a></b>, a feature shot over the course of last year in Manchester, directed by yours truly:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
BIG THANKS must go to the army of people who collaborated in it: CSV and a collective of dedicated volunteers without whom no filming would have been possible. I hope to bring the finished movie to you all as soon as possible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the mean time, hope you enjoy the trailer!</div>

I thought it was time to recap on what went on over the year 2011 in terms of films and other -video or otherwise- exciting projects. Yes, there's a few days left to the end of the year, but I intend not to do much until Christmas, to be honest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <b>January</b> and<b> February</b>, I pretty much worked on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brothersdayfilm">Brothers day</a>, my first feature film as a director, 24 7. Getting the cast, securing the locations, re-working the script, preparing the shots. Constantly buzzing production office. I slept once too. Great times.</div>

In <b>March</b>, while I was still filming Brothers day, I did the <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html">first and last videoblog</a> of the project, for the only reason that I was waiting for the actors and had nothing better to do. I did some VFX work for an American promo with a great pitch. And <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001342832313">a time traveller</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <b>May</b>, I went to the <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/06/whats-been-happening.html">Cannes film festival</a>. Walked around a lot, went to a few parties, watched a few films and saw <a href="http://blackoptical.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hugh_jackman.jpg">Hugh Jackman in sunglasses</a>. Got a new phone unsuitable for dirty fingers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <b>June</b>, I did <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/06/brothers-day-action-shots.html">a few more shots</a> of Brothers day and I saw myself in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J3HfllvXWE">trailer for Captain America</a>, featuring my first ever blockbuster extra role.</div>

In <b>July</b>, I finally and officially <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/07/brothers-day-wrap.html">wrapped Brothers day</a>, to the surprise of everyone, especially me. Captain america was released. Enjoyed it and I THINK I MAY HAVE SEEN myself. My mother claimed to have seen me more times than I was ever there. Google released Google+ and <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/07/google-opportunity.html">I got absurdly excited</a> about it. I'm feeling better now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <b>August</b>, I watched Rise of the planet of the apes. Got <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/08/rise-of-planet-of-apes.html">excited again</a>. Longest title and best film I have seen this year in the cinema to date.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <b>September</b>, I <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/09/latest-joys-of-technology.html">loved my new phone</a>. And immediately started to hate it after that. Filmed some incredible bluescreen.</div>

In <b>November</b>, I forgot I had shown <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/11/reaction.html">my short film Reaction</a> to practically no one and shared it with the world. Calachurras reached <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2011/11/calachurras-little-weird-webcomic.html">its most exciting issue</a> so far and we tried to explain a few things with a <a href="http://calachurras.blogspot.com/p/what-is-this.html">cute annex</a>.

After months of on and off work. The Brothers day trailer is nearly ready to go out. This obviously mean it will be the greatest trailer of all times. Either that or simply the most slowly done one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Look forward to 2012.</div>

After months working on it, I am struggling to stay focus on the script of my next feature film at the moment. Which is why I thought it would be a great moment to share the link to my last science fiction short film, REACTION. That's right. Hope you enjoy it!<br />
<br />

<br />
For those speaking Spanish, there is also version with <a href="http://vimeo.com/16530315">Spanish subtitles</a>. For those speaking other languages, well, good for you. And your CV. Probably. If you do understand English but still enjoy subtitles, click on <a href="http://vimeo.com/16425787">this one</a>.<br />
<br />
Actually -if not anything else- the short it is a good, representative example of what I attempt to achieve in terms of genre and style with the next film. So not completely unrelated.<br />

Last month I scheduled a text that I needed sent earlier than I was gonna wake up. I uploaded a comic book onto "the cloud" so that I could read it on my mobile on the bus. Sent an online album with pictures of the summer to the family (pics that I had been automatically uploaded from my phone minutes after I took them). And I created a series of formulas on a spreadsheet that now allow my brother and me to manage our work on <a href="http://calachurras.blogspot.com/">Calachurras </a>more efficiently. Also, as usual, my texts were regularly backed up onto the internet automatically.<br />
<br />
Almost as amazingly, I was able to find the below drawing -picturing a donkey showing surprise quite convincingly- in nearly no time.<br />
<br />

Oh, and through an interesting phone app, I can now know where the <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html">ISS</a> is at any time. Probably not as useful as to know where <a href="http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/09/20/7866658-falling-satellite-seen-from-earth">that damn satellite</a> is going to fall, but still good to me :)<br />

Yes, please.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
It's exciting to see the fruits of the latest technology applied to movies. In this case, Avatar's big push in motion capture technology, with which the actors can capture body and face performance, allows the "Planet of the Apes" sequel to exist.<br />
<br />
The danger is to learn to use this new technology integrated in the storytelling process. Looking at the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbCoDf44oCE">trailer</a>, it looked a bit like the tragic "I, robot", with Apes replacing the hordes of robots. Except for a couple of images, which encouraged me to go see it, and eventually enjoy it enormously.<br />
<br />
The greatest archievement is to me that you root for the main character, a bloody monkey, to the point that you side with him against humans (the little bastards). Apes are in the movie more human than humans, just as in other good stories has happened with robots (Wall-e, Johnny 5), monsters (Hulk, King kong) or aliens (E.T. or this <a href="http://www.explore-science-fiction-movies.com/images/reptilian-aliens-enemy-mine-drac-2.jpg">guy</a>). Easy. By doing this rather than trying to trick the audience, the achieve <b>effects that enhance the story instead of replacing it</b> (films like "<a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2008/08/hellboy-2-golden-army.html">Hellboy 2</a>", "Clash of the Titans"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">*</span> or the "Transformers" eternal sequels spring to mind now), and that's why, I believe, certain sequences, which would have otherwise been just a way how showing off much money the movie had, work so well and so honestly. I personally loved the helicopter moment, you'll now when you see it :)<br />

<br />
<b><u>Great stuff that's already here:</u></b><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">- <b>Circles!</b>: G+'s way of classifying your contacts. Makes a lot of sense, it's a pleasure to use. Means that you only share updates, easily, with the people you want. And it's pretty! :)</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">- <b>"Hangouts"</b>: Basically, a videoconference service for up to 10 people! I like that the image changes automatically to show whoever person is talking at a particular time too. Can't wait to use it for face-to-face, yet remote filmaking meetings, or just family ones.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">- <b>Instant upload</b>: The pictures of your phone get uploaded to a private album onto your Google+ that is instantly viewable and shareable. How many of us never download the pics to our computer? Never again!<br />
<br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9NLW8cCqmko/Tg77yk69o-I/AAAAAAAAAPs/4VVJ5qocs1k/s400/google+plus+black+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9NLW8cCqmko/Tg77yk69o-I/AAAAAAAAAPs/4VVJ5qocs1k/s200/google+plus+black+logo.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><u>Other stuff I still want! :)</u></b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">- <b>Circles within circles:</b> A hierarchical structure would be very good to effectively organise your folks (you can vote for the inclusion of this feature <a href="http://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=9fe9f&t=9fe9f.40&f=9fe9f.4d4b7c&q=9fe9f.4d4b7c">here in Google moderator</a>, I just did myself :)</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">- <b>Integration with other Google services</b>: Like scheduling an event that will go straight into your Gcalendar or being able to use your Gmail groups of contacts as Circles. Not even need to vote for this, it's obvious that it will be rolled out as soon as it's ready. But it can't happen <a href="http://techfools.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/google-and-circles/">overnight</a>!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">- <b>Permission to be tagged</b>: Always! Either giving permission over pics/albums, or to a list of people/circles. This type of thing is where Google can easily be ahead of Facebook.<br />
- <b>Way of limiting the amount of posts per person on a particular feed</b>: Some people share too much, and /or too often, and they tend to take over the feed for the circles they are in (unless they have their own circle, but this defies the concept of circles itself). I rather see older posts of several people than today's 450 posts from the same person! </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">And the experience continues :)</div></div>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01298620029641037405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493272407912563059.post-54560298375895574652011-07-20T09:03:00.000+01:002011-07-20T09:03:00.868+01:00Google+: The opportunity<a href="http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/">Google+</a>, for those who haven't had the chance to give it a try yet, is Google's alternative to Facebook.<br />
<br />
Yes, it does <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/wow-google-looks-exactly-like-facebook-2011-6">look like Facebook</a>, which on the internet seems to have become ammunition to criticize G+.<br />
<br />
Personally, doesn't bother me. People are familiar with that visual way of receiving and creating information. Also, the changes that social media needs are fundamentally conceptual, not visual. And most importantly, it's Google, so as with everything else they create, there will soon be a way of personalize it to your liking.<br />
<br />
And that's the key to what <b>Google+</b> means. <b>Its power is not in what it is now, but in what it can become</b>.<br />
<br />
Part of the privacy issue on social networks, only us ourselves can solve it. Whether we like it or not, communications happen increasingly online, and we are still trying to keep up with the system! <b>To build a new platform</b> to do that on, I for one think there's <b>no one better than Google</b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilUVY1nIaYOoXaf9lXKDh_06uCMAtk5QAnrHp-GhmOuEla7SW8JN7rR7hpGoKdM4YUXnJjJghRxJoce5c2hyphenhyphenFyiCuxkn9dtAabZGKig52bm6I3oz3qVjWo69jcC6eWzshdU2yBzbYQtkA/s1600/Facebook-vs-Google-cheat-stories-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilUVY1nIaYOoXaf9lXKDh_06uCMAtk5QAnrHp-GhmOuEla7SW8JN7rR7hpGoKdM4YUXnJjJghRxJoce5c2hyphenhyphenFyiCuxkn9dtAabZGKig52bm6I3oz3qVjWo69jcC6eWzshdU2yBzbYQtkA/s320/Facebook-vs-Google-cheat-stories-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Unlike Facebook creators, <b>Google listens to users</b>. They actually have an ongoing list of pending changes on their official feedback platform <a href="http://www.google.com/moderator/#0">Google moderator</a>. Where, incidentally, you too can go and draw attention to something that you think is not working particularly well on any Google product. Here is <a href="http://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=9fe9f&t=9fe9f.40&f=9fe9f.4db5f4">the one for Google+</a>.<br />
<br />
Also unlike Facebook, <b>Google cares about privacy</b>. And already has in place some basic tools towards this end that I'm sure won't be the only ones.<br />
<br />
So live it, contribute to the moderator. <b>Let's create the social experience as WE want it</b>. As it should have always been, with control over what we do.Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01298620029641037405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493272407912563059.post-40277944707255316602011-07-14T12:35:00.000+01:002011-07-14T12:35:23.107+01:00Brothers day - Wrap!So... filming is over for Brothers day!!!<br />
<br />
All pick ups have been finished over the last couple of weeks and we even had some pictures taken this week for the promotional campaign. We'll be rolling the promo pics soon, followed by the trailer that is being edited as we write/read this :)<br />
<br />
But for now, here are some pictures of these last days in varying quality. Click on them for a slightly-larger-yet-not-too-large version. Hope you enjoy them!<br />

So I thought I'd take the time to give a bit of an update on what I've been doing in the last few months (that feel like years!!).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">End of last year, I was lucky enough to have a job as an <b>extra </b>(background artist :)<b> in the Captain America movie</b> (!!!!!!). If you want to try and see me :P (I'm one of the blurry dockers in the background) I'm in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J3HfllvXWE">official trailer</a>, min 1:36 :) Although it may sound very unimpressive to some, for me it was an incredible experience that felt much too-short, and it leaves me out of breath simply to talk about it. Only Google :) can be more exciting than working in a Hollywood movie + seeing one of the characters I've been reading comics about all my life (Captain America in this case) in the flesh + getting paid for it. Incredible.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidqoqIddmNIQp7VtwOZb1-V6vdqA8OCaYiSRDnEGfn_ilU7Xq6B9EDidgEB9d-vSaL_AtmzJon-NskREwLzqy7z4V3MwgHONGc_HjSIxSA-yRcmyYxd-AmpuGuCCE6FKyh358BVC_Pbuk/s1600/captain-america-movie-update-big.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidqoqIddmNIQp7VtwOZb1-V6vdqA8OCaYiSRDnEGfn_ilU7Xq6B9EDidgEB9d-vSaL_AtmzJon-NskREwLzqy7z4V3MwgHONGc_HjSIxSA-yRcmyYxd-AmpuGuCCE6FKyh358BVC_Pbuk/s1600/captain-america-movie-update-big.jpg" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Then somehow I ended up <b>directing my first feature film, </b>a drama set in Manchester titled <b>BROTHERS DAY</b>. I'd like to blame my insistence in getting in as much trouble as possible for it, but maybe it was just sheer luck. In any case, it was a lot of fun and hard work. Luckily a strong cast and crew came together in the end and we managed to both pull it off and live through the experience! I did have to put other projects on hold, but it was all worth it. I especially enjoyed working on a feature script which wasn't my own, and working with 2 fantastic writers to make the necessary changes to the story to be able to film it with the given constraints. I just finished filming it, still need to edit it all together and such, but the footage is all in the can (well, all but a couple of days). Sadly, there is very little I can show -well, other than pictures of the shoots-, but I'm working on a trailer and I can't wait to show everybody once it's finished! :)</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div>As if it wasn't enough, I got involved in a movie-to-be called TRAVELER ZERO, a time-travel story... based on real events! :) I only got to do some visual effects and grading for it, but it was particularly thrilling to me because the project is America-based. It's currently been pitched in L.A. to producers with important-sounding names :) and hopefully the whole movie will get to be filmed. You can see the full short film promo below.</div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Cannes is not only a film festival, but a way of seeing the film industry from a more practical angle, and an opportunity to meet a lot of like-minded people and move projects forward. It was a fantastic and necessary experience that I recommend to all my filmmaking friends. It is both fun and a lot of work, and absolutely worth it.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Not "Best Animated Picture", which they should already get by default, but the big "Best Picture" award.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">And in my always humble although occasionally loud and overexcited opinion, if Pixar wants the Oscar they should be able to just have it. Not only is TS3 the best movie of this year (and one of the best movies of all time), when it comes to making movies, there really is no one else better than Pixar.</div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT97NPwOZ1oEZVcKqosjGu29GbYF5DMbDQYqON38XKkTW82gHtLZOVgzhqb09rMFGok4RdJ2_YPOCHSBAwuFlA9DJhyvmQkAqx_GTC1MXvMvooZ-ziE3tUSBZLqO4T6KAKdGihyphenhypheno75eoU/s400/buzz.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 262px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544587111805793410" /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">The audience has spoken, TS3 is the biggest box office hit of the last months. But of course, this can't be the only reason. It is a long time ago now that Pixar has gone beyond the boundaries of animated movies to find themselves a place between those who can tell stories better than the rest. Better, in fact, than anyone else. Pixar's professional policy to create only the best stories and to care for the audience is worth this award and more. It is not very often that one sees grown-ups laughing out loud, jumping at the edge of their seats and then crying their eyes out in the same movie. That's the <a href="http://dubiouscomment.blogspot.com/2010/08/expectations-versus-experience.html">emotional journey</a> that we should always get with our ticket, and that sadly we don't. Why? Pixar are those guys who haven't forgotten what a good story well told should be like.</div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Oh.
