Simpsons Edition
Feb DVD Update (Simpsons Edition)


The Little Mermaid


The Little Mermaid


$8.29


Before Broadway was Disneyfied and Times Square became a mall, the best Broadway musicals were being written for Disney animated features by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman. Their songs for The Little Mermaid created the mold from which their even more popular work (Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin) would be cast. Almost every tune in Mermaid has its (slightly inferior) counterpart in Beauty, fo…

Tommy


Tommy


$5.95


Tommy had the dubious distinction of being the first-ever rock opera; however, it’s none the worse for that, Ken Russell’s adaptation notwithstanding. Due largely to Pete Townshend’s skill as a songwriter and composer, Tommy tells a coherent story and includes quality rock and roll at the same time, an impressive feat by itself. While surprisingly more linear than the later Quadrophenia, Tommy boa…

The Dukes of Hazzard (Unrated Widescreen Edition)


The Dukes of Hazzard (Unrated Widescreen Edition)


$3.99


The teaming of Johnny Knoxville (Jackass: The Movie) and Seann William Scott (Dude, Where’s My Car?) as well as the presence of the ’70s-flavored car chases that were a specialty of the TV series guarantees that The Dukes of Hazzard will be even more lowbrow than the CBS TV series (1979-85) that inspired it. However, this brain-damaging comedy is more “rehash” than “remake,” as good ol’ Georgiaboy…

Top Gun (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]


Top Gun (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]


$1.49


Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can’t follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Crui…

Blown Away [VHS]


Blown Away [VHS]


$9.98



Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde [VHS]


Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde [VHS]


$3.58


The winning comic finesse of Reese Witherspoon drives Legally Blonde 2: Red White and Blonde. It’s astonishing that the sequel could possibly be daffier than the first movie, but Legally Blonde 2 leaves reality behind like an unflattering outfit. Unemployed lawyer Elle Woods (Witherspoon) sets off to our nation’s capitol to ban cosmetics testing on animals, after discovering that her beloved chihu…

Pride & Prejudice


Pride & Prejudice


$5.99


Literary adaptations just don’t get any better than director Joe Wright’s 2005 version of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. The key word here is adaptation, because Wright and gifted screenwriter Deborah Moggach have taken liberties with Austen’s classic novel that purists may find objectionable, but in this exquisite film their artistic decisions are entirely justified and exceptionally well execu…

Aladdin (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)


Aladdin (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)


$29.99


Disney’s 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there’s an incredible hook atop the whole thing: Robin Williams’s frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin’s genie. Even if one isn’t particularly…

Top Gun (Widescreen Special Collector's Edition)


Top Gun (Widescreen Special Collector’s Edition)

Animation and CGI DOCUMENTARY
Things have come a long way from "Walking With Dinosaurs". 3d animation, motion graphics, CGI and visual effects are a regular part of many documentary films. As historical reconstructions and motion graphics information, animation CGI computer and is now routinely used in almost any situation in which these films is not available.

Moreover, costs have decreased and the quality of visual effects has increased in recent years, so even a documentary film on a modest budget can now afford to use weight equipment and stylish graphic animations.

But as a documentary filmmaker, how to go about adding visual effects and 3D animation to your productions?

Motion graphics and animation tips

Do not be afraid of approaching a design animation video or visual effects artist at the beginning of its production. They will be able to let you know immediately what is possible and how to get the animation done in the most effective.

Give your leaders as much detail as you -. 3D animation studios are used to doing research, but if you can give them access to their research, the experts interviewed or useful, you get a much more unified field.

Use the shooting animation to tell a story animation sequences and special effects are often some of the scenes in production more costly, so choose well. Nobody likes to reuse the shooting, but with a stunning 3D animation, for example, often works well. If you have several visual effects shots that work together to tell a story, using separately earlier in the film can increase the their impact.

Types of visual effects and 3D animation in documentary film

Explanation Graphics: Animation, are a great way to explain a complex idea or present information in case of video footage shot can not. These can be in 2D or 3D and animated graphical representations often include text, but also consider the presentation as cartoon animations or sequences with animated characters. Whatever the style of the piece, the animation can fit in it.

Entertainment for the shots of color: color photographs are generally cut extractions can be used almost anywhere you need them. Purpose are generic, but relevant. At 20 seconds of 3D animation in which the camera plunges into the bloodstream of a patient such as blood cells can be used to fly by almost in any place in a medical documentary without looking out of place. A pair of color animations of this kind can keep your skin in the issue when runs end more these films the narrative.

Reconstructions of visual effects: animated reconstructions are often the "hero" shots for a documentary. If you do not have images of major events or moments of his new documentary, an animated reconstruction is often the way forward.

Animations Title: An animated title sequence is a good way to show her documentary, and set the tone for the entire documentary, so it is worth spending a little time to ensure that the tone is where the style and content of what comes next.

How to reduce your documentary film motion graphics costs
The quickest way to reduce cost is to talk with a 3D animator or visual effects studio about how production can be simplified without affecting your overall look. For example, to animate a camera flying through a static model has much less time (possibly weeks or less) that encourages all details the model itself.

What if you really can not afford the animation and visual effects?
Go graphic: Reconstructing the siege of Troy with each soldier animated of authentic detail will be a great job. But animation strategic inflection points of the substitution site battalions of Part style graphics chess in a stylized representation of the battlefield is within the budget of most productions. Thinking of a stylized motion graphics look rather than a realistic 3D is an animated film is the documentary you tons of cash. Going even illustrations and motion graphics will not save further.
