"Virtual magician" Marco Tempest uses some sleight of hand and some perfectly synchronized iPod Touches to perform a pretty entertaining presentation on deception.
Here is the preview of my ipod magic. Have fun watching and let me know what you think. More information about my magic can be found at http://www.marcotempest.com
A soldier has to piece together the memories of his past when an injury leaves him with amnesia.
Set some time in the future, a soldier takes a hit from a land mine while on duty in ANWAR and finds himself at a hospital with a bad case of amnesia and only a few faint memories. Slowly he pieces together his past. But just when you think you know where this is all headed, it takes a turn toward the interesting. I won’t give anything away, but even at 23 minutes, it’s worth seeing through to the end.
The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello
Directed by Anthony Lucas
Adventurous tale of a navigator’s journey to save his ailing wife set in a beautiful world of Victorian science-ficiton. It's like a steampunk version of Tim Burton.
Nominated for an Oscar and for a BAFTA award, Jasper Morello is a short feature made in a unique style of silhouette animation developed by director Anthony Lucas and inspired by the work of authors Edgar Alan Poe and Jules Verne. In the frontier city of Carpathia, Jasper Morello discovers that his former adversary Doctor Claude Belgon has returned from the grave. When Claude reveals that he knows the location of the ancient city of Alto Mea where the secrets of life have been discovered, Jasper cannot resist the temptation to bring his own dead wife Amelia back. But they are captured by Armand Forgette, leader of the radical Horizontalist anti-technology movement, who is determined to reanimate his terrorist father Vasco. As lightning energises the arcane machineries of life in the floating castle of Alto Mea, Jasper must choose between having his beloved restored or seeing the government of Gothia destroyed. Set in a world of iron dirigibles and steam powered computers, this gothic horror mystery tells the story of Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator who flees his Plague-ridden home on a desperate voyage to redeem himself.
We've covered fan efforts with Lightwave and Blender models before. Now a fan has made a Serenity model in Unreal Engine 3 (a game engine) using the Unreal Development Kit. Also, check out a still of the model.
Here are some examples of modeling. There's the spaceship Serenity model, which was modeled and textured at high detail and then modeled to be used in video games. At the end there's shots of my Serenity model in the Unreal 3 game engine (UDK) along with a couple rodeo environments I did for a canceled project.
Talented artists have been making their own posters for The Dark Knight Rises practically since the closing credits rolled on the opening night of The Dark Knight. Since then, though, there have been plenty of developments. We’ve learned the film's title, who will be filling the lead roles, and which villains Batman will be facing down (Bane and Catwoman). The results have been fantastic. Some of these posters are so authentic, you'll wish the studio would use them in it's marketing campaign.
