I was inspired a lot from Steve's demostartion last few days, and i really want to draw something again. My friend Jose is a fans of Magzinger Z and it just pop up in my head... so l drew it.

龜來的雜感

由美國首映、香港的慈善首映直到今天,才有空寫下自己的感想。未能把雜感好好的整合...

值得驕傲嗎? 香港人!
我們做到了...完成了我們的第一齣電影...第一齣留名於荷理活的電影...這是我們的電影!這是香港人的動畫電影啊!

香港的首映比荷理活更感動!
最快樂莫過於與公司上上下下所有有份參與的員工一起看...
最感動的一刻是出片尾出製作人員名單....長達10分鐘的掌聲......給我們有份參與的每一位身與及自己。我當時坐在第一行,連續的掌聲過了好一陣子才發覺原來全場都站起來高興地鼓掌!那份熱情、熱血深深地感動我。

其實不愛忍者龜...但還是愛上了
不只是不愛,其實很討厭。愛上的是我們兩年來一起創造、屬於我們的忍者龜。這是感情的建立啊!

給予我們很多的第一次...
製作忍者龜的兩年第一次當監製的工作、第一次在美國工作及生活、第一次在高速公路上駕駛、第一次在荷理活参與首......

只是第一步...還有很多夢
未來的三年會有另外的兩個Franchise: Gatchaman及Astroboy。終有一天不再是只製作別人的Franchise,而是100%自家製的故事!現在全人熱血裝備中!

待續...

New Transformer Poster



之前話過,不太喜歡Transformer Movie的造型設計... 但卻又喜歡這兩款海報...... 喜歡它的Tagline夠直接,"Optimus-Protect" VS "Megatron-Destroy", 還有我對於大頭的構圖有特別好感。

NinZaku


Mutants Overpower Ancient Warriors!

TMNT在美國的首個週末開畫票房對我們意義極大... 星期五晚暫時以US$8,600,000勝上畫第二週收US$6,000,000300... 星期一晚便知道結果。

上映戲院數目 (Threaters) :
TMNT 3,110 300 3,280

TMNT knocked 300 out of the top spot as the sword-wielding turtles -- resurrected by computer graphics --slice off $8.6 million on Friday -- beating those other buff fighting machines from the Middle East by $2.6 million...

How the Ninja Turtles hold up through the rest of the weekend is anyone's guess, but after two decades as iconic cultural figures, the muscled amphibians still represent a formidable franchise. And put Hong Kong's Imagi studios solidly on the map.

TMNT: The Turtles More Animated in CG

Joe Strike connects with the filmmakers behind TMNT to discover the mystical secrets behind Imagi Ent.'s first CG feature and the relaunch of a popular franchise.
March 23, 2007 By Joe Strike

When Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman first doodled up a funny-animal turtle dressed as a ninja warrior, it's a safe bet they had no idea of the entertainment franchise they were about to unleash on the world. The tongue-in-cheek terrapin evolved into a quartet of heroes who debuted in a 1984 self-published, black-and-white comicbook as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The foursome became a surprise comics phenomenon that led to mega-licensing deals, several cartoon (and one live-action) series, along with three live-action movies. The franchise got its second wind in 2003 with a new Saturday morning 2D cartoon series and is about to return to the big screen with a fully animated CGI version.

You just can't keep a good turtle down.

It might have worked in the 1990s, but actors in turtle suits (even ones designed by Jim Henson's Creature Shop) won't cut it in the all-digital 21st century. The new movie, opening March 23, 2007 in the U.S., comes from the Hong Kong-based Imagi Studios. The film is being distributed in North America by Warner Bros. and overseas by the Weinstein Co. As with 2D animation, budget-driven producers and distributors are searching outside the U.S. for lower cost CGI -- and what they're finding is looking better all the time.

"Everyone is wired in Hong Kong with broadband, everyone has cell phones you'll see a year from now," observes Paul Wang, who finally has a few moments to relax after producing (with Thomas K. Gray and H. Galen Walker) TMNT, the latest chapter in the Turtles' adventures and their first theatrical feature since their third film in 1993. "They have latest fashions as far as technology goes. When I'm over there I see stuff I've never seen before -- now they're advertising real time cell phone video delivery at 30 frames per second. Hong Kong is a hi-tech city. They've been heavily influenced by Japanese anime and western blockbusters. They get both things and you see that reflected in their own cinema and the sensibility of the people there."

Wang's CGI experience dates back to 1995 and Pacific Data Images (now PDI/DreamWorks), where he did effects for movies like The Peacemaker and The Arrival before leaving hands-on work behind to become the lighting supervisor on Antz.


Paul Wang, a producer on TMNT found it easy to work with Hong Kong-based Imagi Animation Studio on the feature. In fact, he has since joined the company as an exec.


Imagi got its start in 2000, producing CGI TV series like Zentrix and a direct-to-video feature based on the Digimon franchise. The studio always had its eye on the prize, though: theatrical feature animation, beginning with the Ninja Turtles.

Wang joined Imagi's TMNT team in 2005, while director Kevin Munroe was still working on the film's script. Gray, the producer of the Turtles' three previous features, had convinced their co-creator Peter Laird to go to the well one more time and Imagi, formed in 2000 was ready to play with the big boys. Towards that end, they had opened up a creative development office and production facility in the Los Angeles area, the better to tap into the local talent market and pitch to the studios in town.

The whole point was not just to revive the Turtles franchise, but to push CG animation to another level," Wang recalls. "In 2006 six furry animal movies were released; we thought it was time to do something more edgy, dark -- basically a live-action movie.

"We didn't have the rights to the characters yet [in early 2005]," Wang recalls, but with all parties on the same page and a signed agreement a formality, the L.A. studio began staffing up, ultimately employing some 70 people. As with most U.S. TV animation, character and concept design, creation of a story reel, etc. took place in L.A. The studio created the bare bones CGI cinematography, which was ultimately sent to Hong Kong for full animation by its staff of 300. High-speed Internet data transfers shipping problems and their attendant time delays a thing of the past.

"By the end of 2005 things were ramping up, with Hong Kong doing its own pre-production and producing CGI assets for the film. "Two-thousand-six was the really the year of Hong Kong Imagi production. Here in the States, Kevin and (production designer) Simon Murton [Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I, Robot] were approving thing and giving notes, along with a few artists guiding that effort. We did the last bits of post the end of February: mostly audio cues, tweaking some of the dialog and trimming a few shots."

Imagi used Maya, today's default CGI software, with Pixar's RenderMan used for the production pipeline's "back-end." "Maya's front end, its tools to move models, place lights and so on are very interactive, it's what Maya's good at," Wang explains. "What it's not so good at, it doesn't have a great render -- it has a sufficient render.

"What people do when they become higher-end studios, either they write own software like DreamWorks, or they'll buy high-end off the shelf software, which is what we did: Pixar created RenderMan. They keep us a year behind the version they use in-house, but it's pretty cool. We upgraded to it to get the better quality for the Turtles."

TMNT's animation and rendering are indeed impressive. The Turtles' body language and facial expressions convey distinct attitudes for each member of the quartet; no Turtle suit could ever come close to the CGI characters' mouth articulation. (Check out their face-spanning smiles.) Skin textures boast convincing texture and translucency (courtesy of RenderMan). A rooftop battle in the rain is a showpiece of effects animation and light reflectivity as raindrops visibly splash off the Turtles' glistening faces.

In fact the Turtles, hewing to their previously established comic book/2D cartoon/live-action appearance, look more "real" than their human supporting cast. It's a decision Wang ascribes to making the shelled heroes "the center of the story. We wanted them to have more detail and visual interest, and have the humans support the Turtles from the design viewpoint."

Definitely a wise decision: after several disastrous flirtations with photo-realistic people (The Polar Express and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within come to mind, as does Pixar's early short Tin Toy), CGI producers now realize that computer-generated human beings (in CGI movies as opposed to live-action special effects) need to be stylized (if not completely cartoony) or risk falling into the `uncanny valley' of audience rejection.

The contrast between the animation in TMNT and Imagi's previous high-profile effort -- the NBC primetime TV series Father of the Pride -- is particularly striking. "That was a TV show produced on a TV schedule," Wang points out. "Instead approving 50 or 100 shots a month, you'd be approving 100 a week; your throughput has to be so much faster. They had two weeks to complete a 22 minute episode -- that's 11 minutes a week through the pipeline."

FOTP's cast of furry felines suffered as a result, with their textures appearing more painted on than homegrown. "We couldn't afford to render anything more on them than texture mapped fur with little patches of [3D] fur in it. It was a product not only of the time the animators had, but the time available for rendering and tweaking shots. Back then the pipeline was Maya all the way through, including the render."

Today, Imagi's goal is to produce CGI movies that "serve the high-end market" at a fraction of those film's $100 million-plus budgets. "We're doing them for $35 to 40 million," Wang says. "Other CGI films in that range don't have our kind of production quality" and goes on to admit, "our production staff is essentially all in Hong Kong which pretty much cuts our costs."

According to Wang, language barriers aren't a problem because "all the creative supervisors and production management in Hong Kong were hired for their English. We hold English classes for the animation staff" and adds with a touch of hyperbole, "there are no Cantonese [language] classes in the U.S."

"Our animation director has spent most of his life outside Hong Kong. He's Chinese, but he's been around the world -- he grasps the meaning rather than just the words. You can use the adjectives and he'll know exactly what you mean. When you say `thoughtful,' he'll know the Turtle needs to look like he's actively thinking, not zoned out."

With Imagi's first feature under its belt, Wang (now their vp of development) is overseeing the company's next two high profile releases, both based on classic anime TV series. The first is Gatchaman, featuring the exploits of a Power Rangers-style superhero team, but the second one is likely to get the most attention: a long-overdue movie version of the show that first brought anime to the U.S., Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy. "Sony spent several years trying to do, but for whatever reason they were unable to get it off the ground, so we picked up the rights.

"In one sense, Astro Boy is the Mickey Mouse of Japan and Tezuka is their Walt Disney. There are a lot of post-World War II themes in his story, but it's about a robot who wants to be a boy -- there are shades of Pinocchio and a lot of movies. AI is especially similar in the beginning; large parts are borrowed from Astro Boy. I believe Spielberg came forth and said as much."

Might there be more Turtles in Wang and Imagi's future as well? "We've talked about it. If it happens, we're ready to hit the ground running."

US TMNT Premiere 3


四个分别以艺术家、科学家命名的忍者龟也曾是中国一代青年的童年记忆

很多人小时候爱看的电视动画片《忍者神龟》(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)在搬上大银幕后,终于要上映了。3月17日,由华纳公司出资并发行、香港意马国际动画公司负责动画制作的《忍者神龟》电影版在好莱坞中国剧院举行首映典礼。参与本片动画部分的香港意马动画公司多位工作人员及该片华裔制片人王以立(PaulWong)等出席首映式,而为该片配音的章子怡则因事未能出席。

  为配合该片,好莱坞中国剧院门口换下了往日的红地毯,而铺上了鲜明的绿色地毯。所有媒体工作人员并被要求穿绿色服装出席。为了取得更好的宣传,发行方还给前来参加首映典礼的嘉宾和记者发了“忍者龟”戴的四色眼罩,而一些被邀请的小朋友们还穿上“龟壳”、手拿武士刀玩具。

  本片的主角四位“忍者龟”分别以知名艺术家、科学家命名,并戴不同颜色眼罩。这四位小龟分别是:“蓝色”达·芬奇、“紫色”爱因斯坦、“红色”拉斐尔和“橙色”米开朗琪罗。首映式上,四位身穿“忍者神龟”外形服装的演员分别扮演这四位主角出现在绿地毯上,他们可爱的造型引来众多媒体访问,只可惜他们的服装太厚不能讲话,只好与人们合影、招手,惹来众多游客围观。

  据了解,《忍者神龟》还是第一部由华人负责制作的好莱坞动画片,拍摄电影的计划和创意都是香港意马公司提出的,前后有四百多名香港工作人员参与其中,总共耗时三年。该公司概念设计师李天伦、动画制作人叶伟青、特效主管吴建光均表示为第一次亲手制作的作品能在好莱坞及全世界发行而感到激动,同时他们表示续集已在酝酿中。

Anime Highlander Trailer Online


click the picture to view the trailer

Fans of the Highlander movies, as well as the live-action and animated TV series, can now check out the trailer for Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, a new animated feature being released directly to DVD by Starz Home Entertainment this June. The film is directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, the respected anime master behind the hits Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, as well as the “Program” segment of The Animatrix.

The Highlander mythology involves a clandestine race of sword-wielding immortals locked in a centuries-old competition to be the last survivor. While Highlander: The Search for Vengeance offers a new anime twist, it’s very much connected to previous productions in the franchise. The film was developed and produced by Peter Davis and Bill Panzer, the team behind the live-action films and TV series, and written by series head writer David Abramowitz.

Animation was handled by Japan’s Madhouse, whose credits include Satoshi Kon’s Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers. Production was overseen by Hong Kong’s Imagi Animation Studios Ltd., which provided primary animation for DreamWorks' NBC series Father of the Pride and the feature film TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which hits theaters on March 23.

A fifth live action feature titled Highlander: The Source has been completed and is in need of a distributor. Dimension Films was originally on board to put it into theaters in 2005 but has since dropped the movie from its lineup. Reviews from fans who have seen the film have not been especially kind. Perhaps the future of the franchise lies in animation.

300


美極了的英雄電影....看了兩次
近期看有三套很喜歡的電影 : Children of men, Pan's Labyrinth 及 300,都是看後感到"視覺大滿足"...

. 300故事相當簡單直接,其實情節也不多,也不是什麼狂"玩橋"的戲,吸引我看的就是想看他怎麼如何利用戰鬥陣式以寡敵眾...
. 視覺畫面每一鏡都像一幅Painting, 構圖燈光顏色對比
. 最好看就是那些混合了快慢鏡的格鬥,與及極其美化了的撕殺...漫畫式的濺血!
. 其實製作成本不高,背景大都是CG做的,也沒有什麼新的技術,就只是用了很多心力去做影像合成部份...仔細地調教燈光,顏色,對比 (那隻犀牛怪很膠...)
.女先知的慢鏡舞動的一幕也是拍得很美,那一場是在水中拍的...
.Ending的Credit也是一流...
