6 Filmmaking Tips From Joss Whedon

Once again, thank you Ms. Licata for giving us an article that rocks.  Not saying the last articles weren't good...it just...well...sigh....I'm going to shut up now.  On with the article!

3 things I learned:
  1. This man started Buffy the Vampire
  2. He directed Serenity
  3. The man directed The Avengers...need I say more?
2 opinions:
  1. I think it is really great he is giving tips to people in or who are thinking about going into the film industry.
  2. He is an amazing writer.
1 question:
  1. Why is he still an "underdog" after doing such great movies/TV shows?

P.S. don't worry...Hulk will smash anything in Whedon's way.

Dawn of the Dead Article

First off I just want to thank Ms. Licata for using an article on Frankenweenie.  Thank you so much...really want to see the movie.  I am a huge fan of anything Tim Burton.  Okay fan girl moment aside the requirements for the article post;

3 things I learned:
  1. The movie was based off an real life experience of Tim Burton
  2. The movie was, 28 years prior, released as a live-action short by Disney
  3. The kids in the movie were based on children Burton went to school with.

2 opinions:
  1. I think the line up for the voice actors for the movie is great.
  2. I really think that Tim Burton's animation style, stop motion, is amazing and shows his attention to detail and creating a different personality with each character.
One question:
  1. When can I see this movie?

P.S.  In the article it said,  "It basically is an animator moving a puppet at 24 fps."  Fps!  You guys remember those?
