Ozu Fan Set For Return Trip To Tokyo
German filmmaker Wim Wenders is to be the president of the jury that decides the main competition prizes later this year at the Tokyo International Film Festival.
Wenders has frequent connections with the Japanese capital and last year shot his “Perfect Days” film in the city. The film recently appeared in competition in Cannes and earned Yakusho Koji the best actor prize.
The Tokyo festival confirmed plans to host a celebration of Japanese director Ozu Yasujiro, who was born 120 years ago and died exactly 60 years later. Wenders previously shot 1985 documentary “Tokyo-ga” as a tribute to Ozu.
“For this festival happening 60 years after the death and therefore 120 years after Ozu’s birthday, my declared master, makes the occasion very special to me,” said Wenders.
The festival is set to run Oct. 23 – Nov. 1 (Wed.) in the Hibiya-Yurakucho-Marunouchi-Ginza area. While Ozu celebrations have been announced elsewhere in the world,...

It’s hard to imagine a greater triumph for soccer star Lionel Messi than leading Argentina to a dramatic victory in the 2022 World Cup and bringing the trophy home to the country for the first time since 1986. But Messi’s masterful performance brought him glory far beyond his sport.
Yes, by sharing a photo of himself holding the golden Cup with some 400 million followers, Messi officially dethroned a stock photo of a brown egg as the most-liked Instagram post of all time. It’s one more reason you could argue that he’s the Goat.

The current production boom is a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity for Australia to re-establish itself as a powerful filmmaking country, according to Animal Logic co-founder and CEO Zareh Nalbandian.
Animal Logic celebrates its 30th birthday this year, during a period that Nalbandian regards as “healthy and busy” for the industry.
The executive reflected on the success and challenges that have faced the company over its three decades last week in a conversation with Margaret Pomeranz, an event organised by the Australian Consulate-General in Los Angeles together with Australians in Film, Ausfilm and Screen Australia.
There are few Australian screen businesses that can boast the international name recognition of the studio, having crafted visual effects and animation across projects such as The Matrix, Moulin Rouge!, Happy Feet 1 and 2, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, The Great Gatsby and the Lego franchise.

Growing up, there was one arcade game that I somehow was always guaranteed to deliver up an ass kicking to my opponent, and that was Mortal Kombat. It’s a game series I’ve been a huge fan of for decades now, and I’ll be the first to admit that while it has its rough edges, the 1995 iteration of Mortal Kombat is what made me into the Paul W.S. Anderson fan that I am today. But even though I have a deep fondness for Mk 1995, I can still recognize that there was definitely room for improvement when it came to bringing the Mortal Kombat universe to the big screen.
And ever since I first laid eyes on the initial trailer, one of this writer’s most anticipated films for 2021 quickly became the new Mortal Kombat, which was directed by Simon McQuoid and stars Joe Taslim, Hiroyuki, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks,...

Eugene the Instagram Egg finally cracked under the pressure of social media scrutiny last night, and the event, aired exclusively on Hulu, was revealed to be a public service announcement advocating for mental health awareness.
The 20-second-plus animation – watch it below – was the latest (and initially unplanned) development for the Egg that broke Kylie Jenner’s record number of Instagram likes. The brainchild – as finally revealed yesterday by The New York Times – of 29-year-old London ad man Chris Godfrey, the brown Egg made its first mysterious Instagram appearance on January 4, under the name World Record Egg, with the simple: “Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram.

Teaming up with director Mel Gibson on his triumphant return to filmmaking, harrowing WWII tale Hacksaw Ridge, Godfrey had his work cut out for him. Working down under, on a budget of some $40 million, resources were limited; and yet with Godfrey's…...

Hacksaw Ridge cast and crew in Venice.
Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge, shot in Sydney last year, has debuted at the Venice Film Festival to (mostly) raves.
Gibson has "absolutely hit Hacksaw Ridge out of the park", said The Guardian in a four-star review. "As a machine-tooled vehicle for Mel Gibson's directorial comeback, Hacksaw Ridge couldn't be more perfect."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Gibson's forceful comeback is a violent drama about pacifism that succeeds in combining horror with grace", while The Telegraph called it "fantastically moving".
Variety described the film "an act of atonement that may succeed in bringing Gibson back" as well as "a testament to his filmmaking chops".
The pundits uniformly singled out the gruesomeness of the film's battle-heavy second half, as well as the skill with which Gibson presents it - "the battle scenes in Hacksaw Ridge make the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan...

Hugo Weaving has joined the cast of Mel Gibson's star-studded Australian film Hacksaw Ridge.
Weaving will join Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Vince Vaughn, Rachel Griffiths and Richard Roxburgh in the film, which is now in production.
Hacksaw Ridge is the true story of conscientious objector, Desmond Doss (Garfield), who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing a gun..
Believing that the War was just but killing was nevertheless wrong, he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon.
Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded near enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. He is the only conscientious objector to ever win the Us Medal of Honour.
Weaving will play Garfield's son, Tom Doss.
Producers of the film include Bill Mechanic, Bruce Davey, Paul Currie, David Permut and executive Producer,...

Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation wins every film category but two at the annual Australian awards ceremony.
The big budget Us-financed jazz age extravaganza The Great Gatsby won every film category but two at the annual Aacta (Australian Academy of Cinema and Television) Awards this evening Australian time in Sydney.
This included the best film gong, which goes to Australian producers Baz Luhrmann, Catherine Martin and Catherine Knapman and their Us counterparts Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher.
Luhrmann also scored best director and, with his high school friend and regular collaborator Craig Pearce, best adapted screenplay.
The only award The Great Gatsby could have won but didn’t was for best actress: that instead went to Rose Byrne for her small part — all the actors had small roles overall — in the bold anthology film The Turning, adapted from a book of short stories by popular novelist Tim Winton.

This is perhaps the easiest category to call in the entirety of awards season, and I don’t mean just here, but for the Oscar as well (Last year’s winner, Life of Pi, easily took this category before going on to claim the Oscar).

Much to the chagrin of Baz Luhrmann and Leonardo DiCaprio (but mostly Baz Lurhmann for Leonardo DiCaprio), almost no one's penciling "The Great Gatsby" into their early awards season ballots for the directing, acting or best picture category prizes. Not even the year's resident weird voter Quentin Tarantino.
But the door's not closed on "Gatsby's" Oscar chances yet.
Not when you've got all those splashy technical prizes — cinematography and costume design and sound editing and visual effects and such — to consider. Heck, even "Terminator 2" got a statue once upon a time thanks to the VFX noddage.
So, this before and after visual effects video for "The Great Gatsby" basically reads like a sweet For Your Consideration ad for the viral age, yeah?
Here we have a lengthy look at just how extraordinarily involved the effects work by Chris Godfrey and his team really was.
So. much. green screen.

So, this before and after visual effects video for "The Great Gatsby" basically reads like a sweet For Your Consideration ad for the viral age, yeah?
Here we have a lengthy look at just how extraordinarily involved the effects work by Chris Godfrey and his team really was.
So. much. green screen.

London, August 9: A designer has created a full 12-course meal, which looks a bit like dog food.
Chris Godfrey said that his All in One 12 course meal gave a normal working man or woman the chance to dine like royalty without the washing up, Metro.co.uk reported.
He wrote on his blog that contemporary culture meant on every trip into town people were bombarded with gimmicks galore, which diminish their products to turn a profit; downgrading on the content but selling people something that's '50 per cent more.'
The full ingredients of the 12-course meal are:
A selection of local cheeses with sourdough bread
Pickled Kobe beef with charred strawberry
Ricotta ravioli with soft egg yolk
Shitake.

When Jay Gatsby looked out from that dock he saw Daisy's green... screen. At least that's what the VFX reel of before and after shots from The Great Gatsby reveals -- that one hell of a lot of visual effects work went into the film, and even in places where I thought what I was seeing was more or less real.At the end of June the VFX supervisor on the film, Chris Godfrey posted this reel on his Vimeo account, but without an embed code. I made an effort to contact him at the time to request he make it available to Twitch, but an enterprising fan has given us a shortcut by putting it on YouTube.Here's what Godfrey said when he posted the video:Baz has...

The Great Gatsby's wonderful Visual Effects supervisor, Chris Godfrey, and director Baz Luhrmann have released an awesome "before and after" reel demonstrating the spectacular visual effects work completed on the movie. And, as expected, its amazing. The less-than-four-minute reel truly shows the beauty and intricacy of the fabulous, high quality work carried out, and even if you have not had a chance to watch the movie this rare opportunity is not to be missed.

Do you ever stop and think about just how many scenes in a movie rely on green screen and CGI? Or how many of your favorite sitcoms use a laugh track? Well, once you think about it for too long, you can't unsee (or unhear) the difference. Check out this video that's been circulating of "The Great Gatsby" without visual effects, posted on Vimeo by Chris Godfrey, the film's visual effects supervisor (with director Baz Luhrmann's permission, of course). We knew that the shiny, perfect visuals of 1920s New York were too good to be true, but seeing the extent that the film used CGI is kind of shocking. Add Lana Del Ray's surreally slurred Gatsby/Daisy love theme "Young and Beautiful" in the background, and the effect is just plain spooky. I mean, the green light was so obviously CGI that it bordered on trippy, but seeing Tom Buchanan...

A new video reveals the extensive special effects used to create the world of The Great Gatsby. VFX supervisor Chris Godfrey recently uploaded before-and-after scenes from the film, showing how blue and greenscreens were transformed into the film's detailed settings. During the three-minute clip, soundtracked by Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful," which was used in the film, raw footage of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and the rest of the cast walking, talking and pretending to drive by green and bluescreens is interspersed with scenes from the film.

Check out this fantastic behind the scenes video reel from Leonardo DiCaprio and Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, featuring some before and after special effects work done on the film. The Great Gatsby was a visually stunning film, and it's awesome to see how they brought this 1920s world to life on the big screen. This video comes from VFX supervisor Chris Godfrey, and here's a note that came along with it.
Baz has graciously agreed to let us release this 'before and afters' reel to show our peer group the VFX work completed on his film 'The Great Gatsby'. While this specific reel was the work of Animal Logic (as my primary vendor), in total I worked with 7 vendors including Animal Logic, Rising Sun and Iloura in Australia, Ilm in San Francisco and also Prime Focus and Method Vancouver. We also ran an amazing internal Swat team that completed over 400 shots.

Upon its release in May, moviegoers were either fascinated with The Great Gatsby’s colorful, Baz Luhrmann-ized world or thought that it resembled a videogame version of Candyland with way more alcohol. However you feel about it, you can’t deny the sheer awesomeness of the special effects that helped create this carnival of a movie.

Probably one of the best things about Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," aside from the performances, was how the director brought his own spin to the Jazz Age and placed Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire right in the heart of it.
You don't have to be a special effects wizard to know that more than a few tricks were used to bring the world of 1920s East and West Egg to life, but you may not be aware of how extensive the use of CGI was.

The visual effects used in Baz Luhrmann's update of "The Great Gatsby" were heavily divisive, with some praising the film's bold aesthetics and others lambasting its overzealousness. Now the movie's production team has released a revelatory reel dissecting the use of digital effects throughout "Gatsby."
The four-minute clip shows scenes that were shot via green screen and then superimposed against the story's lavish backdrops, including decadent homes and an exuberantly lit Times Square. Each green-screen shot is seen (or blue screen, as is often the case) before it dissolves into the edited version, quickly transforming the moment into what was seen on screen. Some of the film's more obvious green-screen scenes, such as Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby's fast-paced drive through the streets of New York, are juxtaposed against moments in which the digital effects might have otherwise gone unnoticed.

Every summer movie season is always busy with movies vying for the attentions of moviegoers but this year seems especially hectic. Baz Luhrmann’s gaudy adaptation of “The Great Gatsby,” for example, feels like it came out ages ago even though it was only released last month. Either way, enough time has passed that the VFX supervisor was able to post a reel showing the evolution of visual effects and how the “Great Gatsby” team brought 1920s New York to life. Last week Chris Godfrey, the VFX supervisor posted a “before and afters” reel to his Vimeo account that shows a fraction of the nearly 1,500 visual effects shots in the film. Even if you’re not a fan of the film it’s still well worth a look to see the transformation from the plates to the finished product. It’s pretty crazy and reminds us of a similar featurette...

We're so numb to visual effects these days that unless something flies out of the screen and literally slaps us across the face while we're stuffing our mouth full of popcorn, we just take for granted all the ridiculously hard work that goes into piecing together a movie like, say, The Great Gatsby. Chris Godfrey, the VFX supervisor on Baz Lurhmann's glitzy adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel, recently posted this before-and-after video showcasing just some of the visual effects work that was done on the movie. How much of 1920s New York (and Long Island) was real and how much of it was fake?

Animal Logic, one of seven visual effects teams behind Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," has unveiled a before-and-after VFX reel that breaks down the creation of some of the film's splashiest sequences. VFX supervisor Chris Godfrey recently posted this dazzling reel on Vimeo. In the clip, you can see how Animal Logic -- which also did effects for Luhrmann's lavish epic "Australia" (2008) -- constructed opulent scenes such as Nick Carraway's (Tobey Maguire) drunken carousal with Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton) and Jay Gatsby's (Leonardo DiCaprio) jaunty drive through the streets of 1920s New York. It's amazing how much of "Gatsby" was shot in front of a green screen. The film arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray August 27. Watch the video here.

If you've seen The Great Gatsby, then you know that Baz Luhrmann filled his adaptation of the classic novel from F. Scott Fitzgerald with some truly stunning imagery that was glitzy, flashy and just beautiful. But just how much of that mesmerizing setting that we saw on the big screen was real, and how much was fake? Thankfully, Luhrmann has allowed visual effects supervisor Chris Godfrey to post this amazing breakdown of some of the shots, complete with before and after shots, and some of them will just blow your mind. This specific reel only highlights the work of an effects house called Animal Logic, but there were seven more companies who worked on the film to complete nearly 1500 visual effects shots.
