Well in DA anyway...

more than 3 years or a little over and I have not updated my gallery.  Being in the Biz takes more time than I expected...

Also, I have made my focus more centered on film and the art of film making... so no time for personal mattepaintings since I do that at work now... like everyday....

I  might post some new ones or I might not.... I don't really know.

For all of those who added me, thanks...

... and see you soon?

WHOAH!

Yeah! Cinefex magazine : www.cinefex.com/ has recently published their newest issue and within its pages ILM thanked and credited all its employees that has done a tremendous and faithful job on the biggeest action movie of the year so far.  This includes Transformers, Terminator and Star Trek.

My name was included on the list! YAHOOOOO!  It's not huge buts its a credit and I am happy to be part of the biggest VFX company in the world.  It has been an honor and a huge learning experience for me.  

This actually gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling that I last felt last year when I got in.  

Thanks CINEFEX and ILM! Three Cheers!

Before anything else I would like to emphasize that I liked the film.  It may not be one of my favorites but I like it nonetheless.  For a lot of reasons and most of them due to the fact that Zack Snyder (director of 300) has been quite faithful to the characters, the scenes and the overall look of the film.  I've waited eagerly for this film and in one way or the other, the fanboy in me was treated with a good film from an excellent storyline.

Now whats my point you may ask?  My point is simple. Even with all the depth and the excellent script and lines the movie has to offer (thanks to Alan Moore) the movie somehow felt shallow.  I'm not saying this since I like the comics, I'm saying this based on a point of view of a normal person watching a film who neither a comic book fan nor a movie critic.  To re-iterate  here are my 4 points.

1. The heavy storyline driven by an astounding backtracking of each characters past is flown through a numerous take  of flashbacks that without prior knowledge of the comic book, one might get confused.  At the same time, the richness of each character was lost with the exception of Dr. Manhattan, due the reason that they don't have the luxury of time to tell each one's story.

2. I admire Zack's choice of actors, I'm just doubtful though if he can really direct his actors well.  The men on the movie were top notch and two thumbs, the women however were surprisingly forgettable.  One scene with Silk Spectre and Dr. Manhattan in mars could have been the films climax and emotional pivot yet Malin (Silk Spectre) lacked the talent to show the intensity of it.  The mother somehow felt a little shallow too.  I wish she could have  placed a much more engaging acting in the little part she was given.

3. The ending was good, better than the comic book yet for me not very acceptable.  I won't dwell to much on the story but I felt that the way they portrayed Ozymandias and Dr. Manhattan was way off.  If one was to read the comic, one would know and undoubtedly (yet regrettably) be torn between agreeing or disagreeing with Veidts decision. I expected something better actually though the story in the film was going the right direction, it just veered way too off course.

4. This is not for kids, its very mature that is a fact, but the Dr. Manhattans ........ always there was too much!  Yes its like the comic book but thats one detail we can do without with, common!

I've heard from a review site that Zack was planning to come out with a DVD that has an added 40 minutes of the whole film.  They said that it night iclude a few parts that could have been useful and could have made the movie much better.  I'll eagerly wait for that one and I hope that will make the movie more viewer friendly.

Again, I'm not saying I don't like the film.  I like it but the thing is, its not as good as I imagined it would be. As engaging as the movie was, it only became worthwhile since I already had the idea behind each scene and knew most of the script.  If I didn't have that knowledge would I still like the movie?  Maybe... maybe not.

So if your deciding to watch the film, just be prepared for some elaborate narratives that might be as much as a challenge as comprehending the whole film itself. I suggest read the Comic book first!
