Integration is a process

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, In : Just for fun 
Hey all!!
Last week we took a pleasant break from the film making posts and we're still kind veering off a bit, but it actually also does relate... confused? Me too, LOL. Anyway, this week I want to share about a recent movie that has made headlines, but not for the reasons we all had kinda hoped.

- JUMPS BACK A BIT -

A short while ago, we spoke about the style or medium of the movie and that applies here. When you're dealing with an established franchise and you go and flip it's medium to...

Jokes aside, a really solid performance comes in various forms. I remember a short video from Finding Nemo's BHS (behind the scenes) and the animator that did Dori's animation for the shot where they think Nemo's gone and Marlin leaves her to go home, he pulled out all the stops to make it as personal as he can and the director still wanted more.

New Tutorial - For Anime Adoration Sparks

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, March 25, 2021, In : Tutorials 
Hey all!

It was so good to be able to tackle a new tutorial again! I hope I get to make more going forward. I'm still on another much bigger video, but I'm struggling to put together footage for it. May just pull pixabay in for it, lol.

Anyhow, NEW TUTORIAL!

Adoration Sparks/Sparkles, are nothing new to anime, but not something that is often captured. As with other anime visuals, it's the characters that matter and the visual language simply tells us more about the characters on-screen, their re...
