Great CG work is the kind you don’t notice

I love the HBO show “Boardwalk Empire” and before the first episode aired, I saw a small documentary on the official site about the sound stage and the fact that they actually built a large part of the boardwalk. I didn’t know what else was thrown into the mix to make it look so authentic. And that’s good CG, the kind of computer generated scenery and effects that you don’t notice but add so much. Below is a reel from Brainstorm Digital, the company responsible for the CG work on Boardwalk Empire, that shows how much was actually bits and bytes.

Moon – Classic SciFi

I first read about this movie earlier this year, in an article from the NYT and right away I knew I had to see this film. Living in the Netherlands it’s sometimes difficult to figure out when a movie is opening, since the studios still won’t release them on the same date worldwide. So I forgot about it, till I stumbled across another article about the movie (forgot the source) and right away I went to see it.

It’s classic scifi. I don’t want to spoil the plot, since I myself love watching movies without knowing the plot. Don’t watch the trailer, just go and rent it if you like 2001 – A Space Odyssey, Alien or Blade Runner.

Moon (2008) – Directed by Duncan Jones, lead played by Sam Rockwell (IMDB)
