Behind the Scenes: Pixar Brave
Princess Merida: “I want my freedom!”
Queen Elinor: “But are you willing to pay the price your freedom will cost?”

“Brave” is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated fantasy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It was written by Mark Andrews, Steve Purcell, Brenda Chapman and Irene Mecchi, directed by Andrews and Chapman and co-directed by Purcell. The film’s voice cast features Kelly Macdonald, Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane and John Ratzenberger. To make the most complex visuals possible, Pixar completely rewrote their animation system for the first time in 25 years. It is also the first movie ever to use the Dolby Atmos sound format.

“Brave” (2012) based on story by Brenda Chapman, screenplay by Mark Andrews, Steve Purcell, Brenda Chapman and Irene Mecchi, directed by Mark Andrew, Brenda Chapman and Steve Purcell, starring Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Robbie Coltrane, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and John Ratzenberger.

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.

Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late. permalink

Behind the Scenes: Prometheus Part 5
David: “Why do you think your people made me?”
Charlie Holloway: “We made ya ‘cause we could.”
David: “Can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator?”

Emory University Professor David Lynn is an internationally-recognized researcher and teacher in the general areas of molecular recognition, bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology. Watch as he discuses how stories and mythology help to stimulate the human imagination and push us to greater scientific discoveries all within the context of Ridley Scott’s film “Prometheus”.

Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” opens in theaters this week.

“Prometheus” is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Greenand Charlize Theron. Set in the late 21st century, the story centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as they follow a star map discovered among the remnants of several ancient Earth civilizations. Led to a distant world and an advanced civilization, the crew seeks the origins of humanity, but instead discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race.

The film began development in the early 2000s as a fifth entry in the Alien franchise, with both Scott and director James Cameron developing ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott’s 1979 science fiction horror film “Alien”. By 2003, the project was sidelined by the development of “AVP: Alien vs. Predator”, and remained dormant until 2009 when Scott again showed interest. A script by Spaihts acted as a prequel to the events of the “Alien” films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films. In late 2010, he brought Lindelof onto the project to rewrite Spaihts’ script, and together they developed a separate story that precedes the story of “Alien” but is not directly connected to that franchise. According to Scott, though the film shares “strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak”, and takes place in the same universe, “Prometheus” will explore its own mythology and ideas.

The film entered production in April 2010, with extensive design phases developing the technology and creatures the film required. Principal photography began in March 2011, on an estimated $120–130 million budget, with filming taking place almost entirely on practical sets and on location in England, Iceland, Spain, and Scotland. The film was shot entirely using 3D cameras.

“Prometheus” (2012) written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, directed by Rupert Sanders, stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron.

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery. permalink

A script by Spaihts acted as a prequel to the events of the “Alien” films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films. In late 2010, he brought Lindelof onto the project to rewrite Spaihts’ script, and together they developed a separate story that precedes the story of “Alien” but is not directly connected to that franchise. According to Scott, though the film shares “strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak”, and takes place in the same universe, “Prometheus” will explore its own mythology and ideas.

The film entered production in April 2010, with extensive design phases developing the technology and creatures the film required. Principal photography began in March 2011, on an estimated $120–130 million budget, with filming taking place almost entirely on practical sets and on location in England, Iceland, Spain, and Scotland. The film was shot entirely using 3D cameras.

“Prometheus” (2012) written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, directed by Rupert Sanders, stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron.

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery. permalink

Behind the Scenes: Snow White and the Huntsman Part 3 Queen...

Thu, 31 May 2012 10:01:00 -0400

Behind the Scenes: Snow White and the Huntsman Part 3
Queen Ravenna: “Come and avenge your father, who was too weak to raise his sword. ”

“SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN” opens in theaters on June 1st. Check out this featurette “Costumes of Colleen Atwood” Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood gives us a brief explanation for the costumes she designed in “SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN”.

Charlize Theron’s evil queen costumes for “Snow White and the Huntsman” called for hundreds of hand-cut rooster feathers, thousands of iridescent beetle wings from Thailand and one particularly imposing crown.

The outfits, some of which are on view at a Los Angeles pop-up gallery ahead of the film’s Friday opening, represented a host of firsts for Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood.

From the leather piping on the pleats of the queen’s wedding gown to the gauzy green metal trim on the beetle-wing dress, the nine-time Oscar nominee and three-time winner experimented with materials for director Rupert Sanders’ dark take on the classic fairy tale.

“The idea of the fairy tale sets you free in a way because you can make it up,” Atwood said. “And I love to make up stuff.”

She created an armored ensemble fit for a queen by dressing up chain mail with rolled leather and horsehair trim and topping it off with a particularly pointy metal crown.

“We wanted to have a formidable silhouette,” Atwood said, “and from a distance it’s spooky with the crown and her height and everything.” (Theron stands nearly six feet tall, the designer added.)

In Sanders’ version of the Snow White story, Kristen Stewart portrays the only woman in the land fairer than Theron’s evil queen Ravenna. The queen dispatches a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to kill the young woman, but instead he becomes her mentor and protector.

Atwood took on the project after finishing work on Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows,” starring Johnny Depp. Atwood and Burton are frequent and successful collaborators: Her most recent Oscar was for his 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland,” and she earned nominations for her costumes in Burton’s “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and “Sleepy Hollow.”

Atwood’s “Snow White” costumes are miles – and eras – away from “Dark Shadows.”

“They don’t resemble each other in any way,” she said, “so it was fun to shift from one to the other and have a whole different world to think about.”

And slide right into. “Snow White” director Sanders said Atwood’s wardrobes “blend seamlessly into this world, and they speak volumes about the world and its characters.”

Theron agreed. From the wedding dress, with its architectural shoulders that appear to be made from bones, to the twice-embroidered gown that eventually resembles an old, peeling skin, Atwood’s costumes reflect the evil queen’s obsession with appearances.

“Every costume had a feeling of not quite what it seems,” Theron said. “In a way, these dresses were like torture devices for Ravenna. I love that because I feel like Ravenna was, in a way, more torturous toward herself than to the people she was killing.”

To minimize the actual on-set torture, Atwood employed a team of about 50 people to help the actors in and out of the elaborate costumes.

But the beetle wings remain dangerous. Thousands of the hard, brittle wings decorate the evil queen’s regal dress of silk and metal mesh.

“They’re incredibly sharp, so I had to be careful about how I used them. If you hit them, you can hurt yourself,” the designer said. “They’re quite treacherous, which really suited the character.”
