Warhammer Trailer



Amazing texture and 'cute' characterisation, subtle use of Light, especially in the allyway scene.

MOON - Directed by Duncan Jones



Sam Rockwell is excellent in this film - I highly recommend you see it - It ...stays with you...It's that kind of film.

The Grateful Dead - This is Rare...a treasure



There are no words to describe...Dark Star (also the name of a wierd hippy sci-fi, which is also worth a look - and while you're at it you could check-out Silent Running).





And maintaining the theme...you should see MOON with Sam Rockwell.

Excellent example of 'Cutting on Movement"



To ensure that you have smooth, unnoticed cuts between shots, it is best, if possible to cut on movement, so that you carry the viewers eye from one shot to another.

To help this, don't have the thing that is moving go completely out of the shot and have the moving object in the next shot starting just in frame, so that the momentum is continuous from one to the other - it is eaier to show it than to explain it so watch the clip and you should see what I mean.
