Metropolis!

Metropolis.. What more needs to be said? The film itself was VERY VERY clear as to how it inspired the Sci-Fi genre.. The Rise of the Workers? How about the Rise of the Machines? Hows about the 'Machine-Man' could be like 'I-Robot'? taking the look of real humans..

The look and feel of this movie are absolutely stunning! Even for a film made in 1927! The Image above shows one of my favourite scenes, where the 'machine-man' turns into Maria.

I wont give a full description of the film as lots of other people have it so heres one Adam Bailey wrote:
"The city is being controlled by the upper class which is led by a man called Jon Fredersen. Fredersen controls all of the workers who run the machines which are beneath the cities depths. Maria who is a evangilical character advises the workforce that they should not start a revolution but wait for the arrival of the Mediator, Freder Fredersen (son of Jon)." - I have given credits to Adam Bailey for this quote, taken from his blog.

Inspirational Concept art..

*The Art of Halo, Creating a Virtual World.*As soon as I saw this book I had to borrow it from the library, Halo is a classic XBOX game, hence the reason why I borrowed the book *CLASSIC* I love the classic games.. Enough blabbering on heres what I Liked..

Above: I like All Character Concepts as I feel these are 'creating life' and I hope someday I can be this good, creating an 'army' of sketched characters, which would inturn become virtual that would be sweet :D Same as above, I like these character concepts as it shows what you see if you were to be playing as this character, from it's point of view. Environmental Concepts are amazing too. You are creating your own world. If you want a rock there, you put one there, if you dont, you erase it. I would also love to get to this stage in my photoshop/Graphics tablet drawings.. (If only I had a graphics tablet.. Anyone know where I can get a decent one? like £100-£150?)

More Character Concepts. This one is really good in my opinion as there is a Sh*t load going on.. You have Master Chief, the main character of the game, AND the main focus of this painting, with a shotgun in his hand. (I know this as the caption at the bottom reads: A Shotgun was best against the flood, By Eddie Smith + Lorraine Mclees.) Also in the background, top left, you can see a screaming person, I didnt notice this until I looked at it full screen :)

The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari

Well, we watched a film today. Called 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' It was filmed in 1919 (or 1920, Cant quite remember) This film is B&W, and is a Silent Movie. This film is also one of the earliest Horror and has been a inspiration for the recent Horrors been released. It runs for approximately 70 mins.

"The deranged Dr. Caligari and his faithful sleepwalking Cesare are connected to a series of murders in a German mountain village, Holstenwall. Caligari presents an example of a motion picture "Frame Story" in which most of the plot is presented as a "Flashback", as told by Francis." -(Not taken from wikipedia!!) (aww, www.wikipedia.com)

This film was entertaining, as I havent seen a B&W film before. The Critics have
praised 'Dr. Caligari' for being extremely expressionistic. The set design is very abnormal due to it's odd shaped walls and windows.

Well not much more to say about it sooo... Catch you Bloggers Soon..
