TV, internet, and telephone networks are down, and before anyone realizes what’s behind the collapse, a series of unexplained attacks take place around the country. Alex, a successful pianist whose controlled existence is upturned when his mother dies in a suspected terror attack, returns to his childhood village to arrange the funeral. There, he must reconcile with both his father and his old flame, Anna, who he has desperately been trying to forget. As old feelings come back to the surface, more mysterious attacks plunge Sweden into chaos and confusion. THE UNTHINKABLE is a disaster-thriller about time running out, and protecting what matters most. 2 Crazy Pictures – Biography Crazy Pictures is a film collective from Sweden, renowned for its acclaimed and spectacular short films on YouTube with millions of viewers and screened at film festivals around the world. The group works closely together and stands for all major roles such as director, producer, scriptwriter, director of photography, production design, costume design, sound design, visual effects and special effects. THE UNTHINKABLE is the collective’s first feature film. The core of Crazy Pictures is 5 friends who have made films together since they were children.

In Norrkoping they have their own studio and office and within their 4 walls, they do everything from editing, sound design, writing scripts, producing, making VFX to building sets, developing special effects and playing ping pong.

  • A French Impressionist Critical Approach to Terrence Malick's
    Life in Movement: A French Impressionist Critical Approach to Terrence Malick’s Films By Matthew Sellers Johnson A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts in Film Victoria University of Wellington 2021 i ii Abstract Terrence Malick’s films from Badlands (1973) to The Tree of Life (2011) have generally received critical praise, as well as being the focus of detailed scholarly work. By contrast, his more recent films, what Robert Sinnerbrink refers to as the “Weightless trilogy” with To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015) and Song to Song (2017), have been widely criticised and have been largely neglected academically. This thesis endeavours to situate the aesthetic features of these three films within a conceptual framework based in French Impressionist film theory and criticism. I will argue the ways in which these three films use natural light, gestures, close- ups, kinetic images and complex editing in relation to Germaine Dulac’s notions of pure cinema and Jean Epstein’s concept of photogénie. Moreover, these ideas can also be applied to films such as Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998) and The Tree of Life. Thus, it is my contention that despite the significant changes to his filmmaking style evident in the Weightless trilogy, he remains a highly poetic director interested in the interior lives of his characters and the rhythms of life. iii Acknowledgements The following thesis would not be possible without the academic and personal support of the following people. First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr.

  • Visual Effects Society Releases First-Of-Its-Kind Standardized Camera Report
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Contact: Naomi Goldman, NLG Communications T: 310-770-2765 [email protected] Visual Effects Society Releases First-of-its-Kind Standardized Camera Report Open Source Initiative to Improve Capture and Exchange of Camera Sheets and Metadata from Production to VFX Los Angeles (December 16, 2013) – The Visual Effects Society (VES), the industry’s professional honorary society, has released a standardized interchange for camera reports, allowing essential visual effects information to be better captured and transferred through production into the post-production visual effects arena. The VES worked in collaboration with leading VFX companies for more than a year to standardize data fields and specify data transfer formats and create a new universal system for providing reliable camera sheets and metadata. The format is open sourced and is available with no fees or restrictions. “A key ingredient to creating high quality visual effects is the ability to recreate a digital replica of the environment in which the scene was captured; yet, despite the fact that most studios agree on the fundamental data that needs to be captured on set, there has not been a consensus on a standard camera report format to ensure accurate notes,” said Jeffrey A. Okun, VES Board Chair. “We’re proud that the VES Technology Committee, under the leadership of Rob Bredow and Sam Richards, have successfully attempted to address this critical challenge and develop a much-needed solution.” The initiative has received tremendous input from data and asset management companies and some of the industry’s biggest VFX companies through a dedicated working group.
