The first webisode will debut on March 19. The second episode will air on March 26 and the final episode will be on April 2.

Short Film: 'The Continuum: Graveyard' by Mike and Dan Palermo

Graveyard is the action filled story of a special-unit Marine who has to work with his squad in a personal battle to rescue his brother who has been taken hostage by a band of trigger happy terrorists and their menacing leader, Colonel Vasquez. 

The only thing that isn't real...is the battlefield.

This short film by Mike and Dan Palermo reminds me of the paintball episode of 'Spaced' - one of my all time favourite shows!

Help Make Final Fantasy VII: The Web Series A Possiblity

The story so far; Over twelve months ago, a young Italian director by the name of Gionata Medeot; tired of waiting for Final Fantasy VII remakes and a decent telling of the tale, decided to team up with Mattia Ferraro, and bring together some of his friends and fellow FFVII fans together to discuss the possibility of making a movie adaptation of the much loved and best-selling videogame. The result was this cool trailer below.


With the positive reaction from the teaser, which was made with a team of consisting of under 20 people and cost $1,200 for just 2 minutes of footage, the idea of a movie was replaced by a 5-episode web series, so that the story could be explored in depth & detail.

Now, they need your help. With a Kickstarter campaign coming soon, they have a Red Bubble page where you can buy posters, shirts, hoodies, stickers, mugs, phone cases with more items to come, and all proceeds from these will go towards the cost of the production and promotion of the web series, so you’ll be directly contributing to the web series. Plus some of the designs will be chosen to appear in the episodes; so you could own a little piece of history, to wear everyday.

Keep up to date with the production of the Final Fantasy VII web series via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Check out some of the designs below.

Cool Art: Rafael Grampá Facebook Commmissions

Cheers to Larry Fire at The Fire Wire blog with bringing this to my attention. On March 6th Rafael Grampá opened his first commission list to his Facebook followers  allowing 10 lucky people to choose their favorite super hero/heroes for Grampá to illustrate in his distinct style.

The drawings were inked over pencils on 11×17 strathmore paper, and the cost of each piece depended on how many figures Rafael drew. A full body, single figure cost $1,000, two characters $1,800 and three characters $2,400. As Grampá doesn’t sell any of his original work, those 10 spots were snapped up pretty quickly.

You can check out two of those commissions below.

Kickstarter: 'Niko And The Sword of Light' Fully Animated Comic

'A boy alone in a savage land, fighting the forces of darkness. His people are all but gone, his kingdom destroyed apart from one surviving relic: a magical sword of light that was forged by gods, which will help this lone hero return his land to freedom.' 

This is the story of 'Niko And The Sword Of Light'. Each panel has been lovingly hand-painted by Imaginism, and brought to life by Studio NX using 2D animation in a modern filmmaking style, complete with a score of contemporary classical music featuring DJ Yoda.

The aim is to create a comic book where every panel is transformed into a fully animated audio/visual experience. Funding received will go towards completing the production of the app as well as the coding to release it on the iPad appstore for this campaign but the team behind this Kickstarter project say that you will definitely be able to buy Niko for Android around the end of the summer. Which would be good, as I have an Android tablet.

They have finished more than half the comic book, and the music and voices have been recorded. Now they just need help from the Kickstarter community to complete this 55-page fully animated comic book by their target deadline of August 2013. The remaining challenge is to finish the production, add special effects, sound, music, and to code it for the iPad. And I'm particularly looking forward to the hardcover artbook that is part of the rewards.

Check out the Kickstarter project here and the video below.

Kickstarter: 'Scheherazade' starring Brian Blessed & Rory Bremner

I have a love for orchestral and classical music (albeit mostly score soundtracks) and I also have a love for the 1001 Nights or Arabian Nights stories and so to me, backing this Kickstarter project was a no-brainer!

'Scheherazade' starring Brian Blessed & Rory Bremner is the first CD from The Opus Pocus - a new project created by Matt Parry, a musician and music teacher based in the UK, to introduce kids to the awe-inspiring world of classical music through modern, witty, subversive, slapstick, action-packed, multimedia stories, all set to the symphony of 'Scheherazade' by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Reaching their funding target will allow them to create a digital pdf graphic novel to accompany the musical story, which will also provide loads of images for the interactive app, new website, musical ebooks and if they significantly surpass their target of £9000 then they can also do a physical print run of the novel BUT their big plan is to do some kids workshops and live shows.

With Jess Murphy, Sam Morris and Nigel Garton joining Brian Blessed and Rory Bremner on voicing duties on the CD, with the cover art by Jonny Duddle, the graphic novel will be illustrated by Faye Simms, who's work has been recently published by Templar ('The Practical Princess Guide' with Aleksei Bitskoff). The full novel is intended to be 42 pages, full colour, A4 size, and include 6 pages of info about the composer, the music and the instruments.  It'll be aimed at 7-10 years. However to get the project going they're doing this Kickstarter campaign for the first chapter of a total of three, which will be 12 pages long.

Check out the video below and go here for the Kickstarter!

And The Oscar Goes To . . . The Winners

Here's the list of winners from last night's Oscars.

Best Animated Short, Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score are the awards I usually keep an eye out for. And can't really complain about the choices for the animated awards, I loved 'Paperman' and really enjoyed 'Brave' although it was up against some good animated films too ('Wreck-It-Ralph', 'ParaNorman' amongst others). I would've probably gone with Thomas Newman's 'Skyfall' score though.
