Watch the 'Uncharted Trilogy' As HD Movies
After turning the new 'Tomb Raider' game into a 3 hour game movie, Andy Gilleand is back with a new HD update to the 'Uncharted Trilogy'. His previous 'Uncharted' movies were in a lower resolution, but these new ones are in lovely 720p HD.
"If you haven't seen my movies before, my goal is to take a game, record footage of my gameplay, and edit that together into a movie. I do this by focusing on story, primarily driven by the cutscenes. However, if you only include the cutscenes, you don't have a coherent story. So I include some gameplay as well, but only the minimum gameplay necessary to understand the story. The goal is to keep this looking as much like a movie as possible, so I try to limit any obvious game moments as much as I can, especially putting focus on the more cinematic gameplay elements.
As before, I try to cut out as many game indicators as I can, such as button prompts, but sometimes there are HUD pop ups that would be either too difficult to remove, or would significantly lower the quality of the movie by being removed. So, I removed what I could, but I couldn't remove everything."A 'The Last Of Us' game movie is on they way, he says he's just waiting for the sales to die down a bit first, so subscribe to his YouTube channel for updates.

Cool Art: 'Man Of Steel' by Oli Riches
I'm loving this 'Man Of Steel' poster by Oli Riches. It kind of reminds me of a Martin Ansin or Ken Taylor poster (the same two guys that did the 'Man Of Steel' posters for Mondo), which is no bad thing at all! It's Oli's first poster print, and going by these, a name to watch out for!

Fan Made 'Warlord Of Mars' Motion Comic by RA Mitchell
Based on the first issue of the Dynamite Comics' 'Warlord Of Mars', a comic book adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter / Barsoom stories, written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Stephen Sadowski, RA Mitchell has created this fan-made motion comic.
EDIT:
Thanks to the Jcomreader blog for finding another John Carter Of Mars motion comic, this time from issue 1 of the 1970's Marvel comic series. You can watch that below.
I was looking for a new series to adapt, and I have always been a big fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter series. Unfortunately, while the comic book is decent enough, I didn't feel I did it justice and abandoned it to do The Red Hulk story arc. I jokingly call it an "unsold pilot", borrowing from the television industry's terminology, since I have no plans at the moment to continue it. I post it now as a curiosity.
EDIT:

Book Review: 'Ray Harryhausen's Fantasy Scrapbook' by Ray Harryhausen & Tony Dalton
This book is a must for any fans of animation and fans of the films of Ray Harryhausen in particular. Published in 2011, this 192 page hardcover book is presented in a scrapbook style collection of stories, photos and artwork from the film career of Ray Harryhausen.
With a foreward by director John Landis, and introduced by Ray himself, it takes a look at his film techniques and a behind the scenes look at Ray's film career, starting with the short films he worked on after being enraptured by the original 1933 'King Kong', all the way through his more well known films of 'The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad','Jason And The Argonauts', 'Clash Of The Titans' and more.
Featuring hundreds of b&w and colour photographs, drawings, concept art, sketches, production notes, movie posters and other memorabilia, with annotations accompanying the images and notes. If you're a fan of the films of Ray Harryhausen then I strongly recommend picking this up. An ideal way to remember Ray and his wonderful films.

Cool Art: 'The Sandman: Overture' Cover Art by JH Williams III
Back in the days when I really got into comics, I was lucky enough to experience Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' comic series from DC Comics (later to be published under their mature titles imprint 'Vertigo', along with my other favourites at the time; 'John Constantine: Hellblazer' and 'Swamp Thing').
And now, as part of a batch of new titles for Vertigo, The Sandman returns on October 30 with a brand new 6 issue prequel tale of how Morpheus was able to be captured in the 1989 first issue of 'The Sandman'.
'The Sandman: Overture' series will be bi-monthly, with interior art and covers from JH Williams III plus new covers from the original series' cover artist Dave McKean. And starting from November, alternating special editions which will include the original scripts by Neil Gaiman, concept art from Williams, a look behind the scenes, extra artwork, sketches, commentary and even special new translucent speech bubbles (developed by Todd Klein) to showcase the art even further.
More details about the series will be revealed at this year’s Comic-Con International: San Diego 2013. Gaiman, Williams and McKean are special guests of the convention, during which Vertigo will host a 25th Anniversary all-star panel featuring Gaiman, Williams and artists Dave McKean and Sam Kieth.

Book Review: 'The Art Of Bioshock Infinite'
I loved the game and I've seen some of the stunning concept art around the internets and I'm surprised I didn't get this deluxe hardcover book sooner, which was languishing in my Amazon wishlist for a while before I finally got round to buying it, and now that I have, it's a very welcome addition to my art book shelf!
Published by Dark Horse, each of the 184 pages are jam packed with gorgeous concept art from the game. The artwork, of course, speaks for itself, covering a full page and often spread over two, but never looking messy or as if it's been squeezed to fit on the page, and is accompanied by some commentary and annotated handwritten text, although not much. This is definitely an art book!
The early part of the book, after the introduction from lead writer on the game, Ken Levine, starts with the concepts of the main characters Elizabeth and Booker DeWitt, along with early art of Songbird, the population and items of Columbia and the heavy hitters. I always find it fascinating to see the original concept art of characters and environments and the way they sometimes evolve until you see them in the finished game or movie. And this is no different in 'Bioshock Infinite'. It seems they had a clear vision of who Elizabeth and Booker were from the off, with not too many changes from the original concept art. The heavy hitters seemed to go through the biggest changes, as the original concept art came across as much more gory and a bit far removed from the enemies you finally encounter in the game.
I have a thing for vintage art and advertisements, so I enjoyed that section of the book. A whole chapter on the advertisements and propaganda posters, with most of the images being full page spreads and looking very nice too, with lots of detail!
I have The Art Of The Mass Effect Universe, also published by Dark Horse, and this book follows in it's footsteps with a superb exploration of the art and design that went into creating one of this year's best games, 'Bioshock Infinite'.
If you're a fan of the game and enjoyed it's visuals, you'll enjoy flicking through these pages. Don't forget to take a peek under the slipcover for an embossed vintage engraved style on the hardcover, an extra visual treat.

Cool Art: Gallery1988 presents 'Fly' by Eric Tan
This Friday, Gallery1988 presents 'Fly', a solo show from Eric Tan (his Lion King print was the very first poster I featured on this blog!), who will take you on the ceremonial first flight of his own Tanner Airlines.
Based on the artist's travels, he has created a number of limited edition screenprints advertising each destination he's spent time in. This fully comprehensive show is remarkable as Eric has even went the extra step and helped transform the gallery into his own travel agency.
In addition to the posters, Eric has created an environment of details for Tanner Airlines, which includes this custom made pilot's pin that will come free with purchases, while supplies last.
'Fly' opens on Friday June 28th, from 7-10pm at G1988 (East) in Los Angeles. Eric will also be in attendance. The show will run through July 20th.
Check out a preview of the posters below.

New Propaganda Posters For 'Ender's Game'
A trio of propaganda posters for the upcoming adaptation of 'Ender’s Game' have been released. I've not read the book, but I have listened to the unabridged audiobook and I'm fairly looking forward to this.
In the near future, a hostile alien race called the Formics have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young minds to find the future Mazer.
Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy but strategically brilliant boy, is recruited to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult challenges and simulations, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham himself to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.
'Ender's Game' is out in cinemas October 25 (UK) and November 1 (US).
