Check out evanerichards.com if you haven't already. The posts highlighting the cinematography of certain movies are great!

This is such a crazy image. The Road is a really bleak but great movie and Viggo Mortensen's face is so expressive in this capture. So much history and pain.

Holy crap that guy is awesome!

Reel Feedback Review

We're having another Free Reel Review at Lanesplitters in Emeryville!! It's on March 29th from 7-10.

It's a great chance for animation students to get feedback on their demo reels, meet animators and have some pizza! Even if they don't have a reel yet but are working on an animation clip, they can bring it and we'll critique it.

Students can come and meet Lead and Supervising Animators here in the bay area and get advice on how they can break into the industry.

Sounds good to me!

ParaNorman Trailer 2

Looks great!

Forced Acting Reference

The Filmdrunk text cracks me up. That kid is so trained, holy moly!
