Smallfoot Trailer from Shark Teeth Films on Vimeo.
This cute little guy is the brain child of Sharkteeth Films. It’s a website series designed for MTV it has promis for sure. Shark Teeth claim that the series is for 7 – 12 year olds but it appears a little dark for the little ones who are just approaching the age of reason ( 7). I’d say it’s great for 12 and up, but hey what do I know… at 26 I’m pretty out of touch with the tweens of today.
In case you were wondering, Small Foot is a costumed athlete, not totally CG. I thought he was a muppet / computer hybrid.
“The style will consist of cutting-edge CGI, well-crafted sound FX and contemporary music. Smallfoot and the creatures he meets are played by actors wearing costumes. The actors chosen are martial artists, parkour athletes, acrobats and stuntmen capable of doing the insane flips, leaps and stunts required for the Hollywood-style action sequences.”
"Apple of My Eye" - an iPhone 4 movie / film - UPDATE: Behind the scenes footage included from Michael Koerbel on Vimeo.
The iPhone 4 has three capabilities which make it the first pocket sized video production device that will suceed. A very high resolution display so myultiple clips can be onscreen clearly, 512mb of ram to actual run the software and iMovie which is simple, fluid and already familiar to many. The addition of multitasking is an absolute nessisity as well, could you imagine getting a call while rendering?
When it comes to ground zero video, or video uploaded during or right after an event I believe that the iPhone will be where it’s coming from. Witness something, edit and upload it without hesitation, no PC required.
There is a problem though, Apple does not allow users to upload HD video directly to YouTube by default. PixelPipe will allow you to upload your vids both in batches and without bandwidth restrictions, it’s the way to go for video enthusiasts.
