Never-Before-Seen Superman: Flyby Concept Art Featuring The Rouser & Kal-El's Pod

9 April 2013 3:57 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

Phil Saunders is a conceptual, industrial and automotive designer, production illustrator, director and storyboard artist that has most recently been Marvel's go-to-artist for Iron Man, The Avengers, and of course the upcoming blockbuster, Iron Man 3. You can view his terrific artistic contributions for Joss Whedon's The Avengers by clicking here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, or here. If you can remember, just last month I posted Superman: Flyby artwork that was created by Harald Belker, which you can view by clicking here. Over the course of a major project, like a Superman film, it isn't uncommon to have several production designer come in, and put together their own art department. So when Arthur Max's art department went down (with Harald Belker), Owen Patterson was brought in, and he added Phil Saunders to his art department. As you'll see, Phil worked on some of the same concepts that Harald did, »

'Anna Karenina', 'Life of Pi' and 'Skyfall' Win at the 2013 Art Directors Guild Awards

4 February 2013 7:25 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

My current 2013 Oscar predictions for Best Production Design have Anna Karenina winning with Life of Pi the runner up and if the 2013 Art Directors Guild Award winners have anything to suggest about these predictions it would seem I'm on to something as both films were awarded in the Period and Fantasy categories respectively along with a win for Skyfall in the Contemporary category. Skyfall, however, is not up for an Oscar. You can check out my predictions for the category here, and I have included the winners below in bold, red text along with the nominees in each category. I also added all three winners to my Oscar Overture, which is slowly beginning to fill up. Next up are the Ves Awards tomorrow, February 5.

'Community,' 'American Horror Story' and 'Homeland' among the nominees for the Art Directors Guild awards

3 January 2013 4:59 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

They're not the Oscars, but it's still good that there are awards for the people who make our television and film experiences so visually stunning. The Art Directors Guild has just announced the nominees for its 2012 awards.

The Guild honors production designers in television, film and advertising, dividing each medium into distinct categories. The result is that some productions not used to getting a lot of awards love do in fact get mentioned.

Take "Community" for example. While you'd be hard-pressed to find a TV critic who doesn't think this is one of TV's best comedies, the show gets nominated for virtually zero awards. The Art Directors Guild, however, took notice when appropriate -- the bizarre, visually interesting and incredible "Pillows and Blankets" episode (a Zap2It pick for one of the best episodes of the year) is nominated.

Of course, lots of the usual suspects make the list as »

Art Directors Guild Passes on Nominating 'Moonrise' and 'Master' for 2013 Adg Awards

3 January 2013 7:17 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I never thought I would be so bothered when it comes to technical awards at the Oscars, but I am already preparing myself for what I expect will be three snubs for a certain film. The Art Directors Guild has all but confirmed one of them will be Moonrise Kingdom's absence from the Production Design nominees by not nominating Adam Stockhausen and Gerald Sullivan's profoundly excellent work. I expect the same to happen at the Oscars and I'm sure Moonrise will be overlooked for Cinematography and Costumes as well, even though everything I'm describing went into what makes it such a great movie. So what did get nominated? Well, in the Contemporary Film category you have Flight, Skyfall, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Impossible and Zero Dark Thirty. Of that group The Impossible and Zero Dark Thirty sound about right. Skyfall is a bit of a stretch, »
