Learn to FLY LIKE SUPER MAN!!!! (Using VFX)

Dear Readers,

Note:- I do not own these videos. 

TITANIC PEOPLEEZZZ - sorry for the informal title.....

Dear Readers,

Yesterday I talked about one of the biggest movies in cinema history 'Jurassic Park'. I felt I was excluding "Titanic" (1997) directed by James Cameron which was also a massive hit in the 90s.

So without further adieu....... Hit dem ball-sacks. Meaning "the sacks containing balls, for the kids, on the ship". Ok, ummmm..... Awkward!

To the left is a trailer to the actual movie (Titanic). For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, no offence, random says "None taken." Titanic is a film about a lower-class man who falls in love with an upper-class lady. This behaviour is condoned by the upper-class people, it turns out that the lady, Jack (Decaprio) falls in love with has a man who is getting married to her. Sadly, most of them die in the end. It's all based on a true story.  

My Professional advice:

"If you have not seen this movie, go watch it. 

Take a box of tissues with ya!"

In most of the exterior shots of titanic, the subjects (Actors) were filmed on a section of the 'Titanic' (re-replicated). This section of the 'Titanic' had a massive green screen/blue screen behind it. They were then, able to key them and, the section of the boat out! Which they were able, to then later put them onto a computer-generated-imagery (CGI) set extension. Back in the day, this shot was called 'The Million Dollar shot'. If you have a green screen at home you could try re-replicating the scene. With the technology, we have access to now, we could easily recreate something similar to the movie. Back then, it was a massive breakthrough. Thanks! James. 

This video is a 30-minute long featurette. It has some behind the scenes footage. However, it has 'James Cameron' himself, talking! You can't turn this down! Check it out! 

I WANT TO KNOW, WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE SCENE OUT OF TITANIC IS! 

Here's my favourite scene; "I just think this is such an emotional and surreal scene. It shows the panic that is happening but also the sacrifice that these musicians are taking." 

To the side, is an extremely interesting documentary. It has nothing much to do with filmmaking, but James Cameron put together a couple million dollars to invent a submarine, that would take them to the (Titanic) wreckage at the bottom of the ocean.

Jurassic Park - Is an Island of dinosaurs.

Hello Everyone, 

This is our third blog and today we are talking dinosaurs and not the science of it, but the film ‘Jurassic Park’ directed by Steven Spielberg. Jurassic park was a massive hit back in the day (1993) and still is. The reason I wanted to speak about it is because the 20th Anniversary was recently played at cinemas around the world. 

You know a film has done well if they re-air it! Jurassic Park did so well that it grossed over $900 million world wide (excluding 20th Anniversary)

Jurassic Park is known for the usage of computer-generated imagery (CGI).

< Here is a remarkable scene within the movie. Where they used CGI at it’s best. 

If your a fan of Steven Spielberg here is a rare behind the scenes footage of Steven Spielberg directing a funny scene within Jurassic Park. 

Tippett Studio created at stop motion test in 1992 of a dinosaur walking. Steven Spielberg had to gamble between CGI or Stop Motion he actually chose to use both where needed the main one used, was CGI. 

Below is one of my favourite scenes within the movie. I thought Steven Spielberg did such a great job at revealing the world he created. 

I want to know what your favourite scene of the movie was, let me know In the comments below!

Who's your favourite super-hero?

Hi Everyone,

With the reboot of superman (Man Of Steel) and all. I decided I would talk about super-hero's. Personally my favourite is Iron Man, for me he just seems to be an all-rounder and his moments of comedy make him double as awesome. 

Who is your favourite superhero? I would love to know so comment below! 

You all know, from my welcoming post yesterday, that I am all about filmmaking, hence the name "The Filmmaking Guru's". So I am going to give you some of my favourite BTS (Behind the scenes) from the recent super-hero films that I have enjoyed.

SPOILER ALERT:- If you have not yet watched any of these films, I suggest you don't watch these BTS until you have watched the movies. 

The Avengers - BTS < Click on this link for awesome footage from the massive blockbuster hit from 2012. 

The Avengers - ILM < This video is all about how they made New York for The Avengers, made by Industrial Light and Magic. ILM is a company who have worked on films, such as; Star Wars, ET and more.... Go an check out their website.  

Man Of Steel - Featurette  < This was extremely fascinating from a filmmakers perspective. I loved the film greatly. To see Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan work together, was a dream come true. 

The Wolverine - Featurette  < I have not yet seen the movie but this was really good. Makes me want to see it.
