Justice League' Superheroes in Stone Yu+Co Casts 'Justice League' Superheroes in Stone 03.10.2021 Working closely with director Zack Snyder, yU+Co's promotional piece for Justice League takes the film's idea of "Motherboxes'' and uses them as a canvas to explore the history of the titular team's six core superheroes-Batman (Ben Affleck), the Flash (Ezra Miller), Superman (Henry Cavill), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). The Los Angeles-based agency sculpted classical reliefs in 3D animation containing each character's own religious and mythic iconography. Effects such as rain, snow, caustics and embers provided an added layer of atmosphere for each scene. The sequence is set to Tom Waits' "Time,'' bringing further meaning and emotion to the piece as viewers are taken on a journey through a shifting landscape filled with easter eggs and symbolism. The journey ends with the Motherboxes fusing together in unity, exploding outward to reveal the title. Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is the long-awaited and discussed director's cut of the DC film, debuts March 18 on HBO Max, although a portion of the movie accidentally leaked early to some subscribers. ​CREDITS Client: WarnerMedia Agency: yU+co Executive Creative Director: Garson Yu Director/Creative Director: Adrian Yu SVP/Executive Producer: Carol Wong Producer: Johnny Ellsworth Z-Brush Artist/Modeler: Farzad Maleki Art Director/Lead Animator/Designer: Fernando Lazzari Art Director/Lead Animator/Designer: James Robertson VFX Animator: Jeffrey Dietrich Technical Director/Compositor: Gregory Jones Render Wrangler: Brown Yoon Editor: Sam Schlenker I/O Manager: Latoria Ortiz IT Engineer: Andrew Burnett Music: "Time" By Tom Waits Roles: Concept, Design, Modeling, Animation, Compositing, Editing.

    Apple TV Plus joins streaming wars, has Oprah but no catalog 31 October 2019, by Lynn Elber about the streamer's future. "We are working with some of the most tremendously talented people we've ever met working in entertainment today," Van Amburg said, and he sees them rising to the challenge of building an enterprise in general and for tech giant Apple in particular. "There's an expression that we use here across the board at Apple: 'Come to Apple and do the best work of your life.' That's actually what we ask of everyone who comes here."

Aquaman: a New Year Parable In Race and Ethnicity https://www.e-ir.info/2019/01/12/aquaman-a-new-year-parable-in-race-and-ethnicity/ PATRICIA SOHN, JAN 12 2019 As a kid, I used to climb to my grandfather’s second-story room in his gingerbread house on the islands of Massachusetts, where he hid his Marvel, DC Comics, and other classic comic books collection from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and more recent decades. I would read, jealously, for as long as I could until I was called downstairs to more social duties. I read so many, and I was so young, that I no longer remember all of the characters who I encountered. I do remember Superman, of course, and Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, a host of otherworldly women investigating outer planets, and worldly men taking care of the lost Western range, all in the midst of interwar or nuclear (depending upon decade) patriotism and concomitant anxieties. But, many of the details and the character names are lost to the netherworld of my now middle-aged imagination, floating around in a soup of superhero flights of fancy, which made up many of the most delicious of my early-childhood summer days. That is, as soon as I could read about Brer Rabbit, I was also reading about Gotham, Wonder Woman’s invisible glass jet, and the beautiful range of superheroes who corrected the world whenever it went astray.
