Star Wars 3D Will Not Change Anything

I'm not sure what George Lucas is drinking? But he's obviously gone off the deep end much like Britney Spears and Anne Heche did 'back in the day.'  By now everyone has either heard or read about his grandiose idea of re-editing his films into 3D.  Fans are outraged, but personally, they are his movies and he can do with them as he pleases.  I think you should buy the movies as they are now, before they're gone forever. LOL.

The Force is gone with this one: Why 3D will do little to improve Star Wars
A long time ago, in this very galaxy, Star Wars was a great film. Sadly, after his glorious pinnacle of creativity, George Lucas started a downward slide and ended up hacking away at his own legacy.

3 Minutes

This short film is really great.  I absolutely loved it.  I came across it earlier in the year, and have now found the time to blog about it.

It stars my favorite character on Glee, the lovely Harry Shum, Jr. and former So You Think You Can Dance contestant, Stephen 'tWitch' Boss.  So as not to give the story away, there is a reason the film is titled "3 Minutes". 

Check out the video after reading how this short film came to be. It's really interesting.

I liked the idea of this short story called “The Most Dangerous Game” so I adapted it back when I was in film school, but when I made it back then I didn’t have many people to help me make it so it didn’t turn out too great. After being in the industry and living in LA for a few years now, I got a chance to make new friends and really take advantage of their professional talents.

The producers of the piece, George Wang and Don Le were in talks with Harry Shum Jr. to collaborate on something when I met them. They brought me on the project, and were initially going to do a different idea involving dancing, however, the more we developed the idea, it proved to be not very feasible. That’s when we decided to do this “3 Minutes” idea. [source]

Cello Wars: The Phantom Cellist

I'm sure none of you have ever seen something quite like this.  Those who have been in a high school band, college, or elsewhere would probably appreciate this video more.  I actually enjoyed it, it was pretty cool.

The guys behind the video never expected it would take them 70 days to put this together, but it did.  It took more than 7,000 frames, 72 audio tracks, 24 hours of filming through the night in front of a green screen, the most props and costumes they ever used, several broken bows and strings, and over 1,000 hours of editing and rendering -- they felt like they had taken on the entire EMPIRE! 

So without further ado, The Piano Guys and Steven Sharp Nelson present to you...
