New "Tetsujin 28" Teaser

Before I was fully occupied by Astro boy movie, I have been spending couple months with the Creative and Development team to develop a "Teaser" of most classic iconic giant robot, "Tetsujin 28", ( Iron Man 28 / Gigantor ) which is created by Mitsuteru Yokoyam 横山光輝, in 60's. I am glad that we have chance to make a CG animation test on that. I like giant robot and i really want to make a robot movie after we created Zentrix. We are going to share with public by put it on a website soon. Here is one of screenshot. : )

love-growth-cash triangle

There is a interesting love-growth-cash triangle to illustrate that most people take on new jobs, projects and hobbies for three reasons:

1. To learn something new
2. To pay the bills
3. Because they love doing it

These three things fulfill some of our very basic needs—they give us stability, excitement, ways to contribute and opportunities to grow.

Here’s where some common activities could fall on our chart:

Bolt

I watched Bolt last week, i really love it even though the story is quite simple and predictable. The characters animation is really good, all the dogs moment was being captured very good. Beautiful lighting and matte painting. I found that very entertaining, my wife kept laughing throughout the movie, we have a good time to watch that, maybe those dogs moment really remind me our dogs...

this is the biggest action sequence at the opening, i like it.

Astroboy AFM party

We have a Astro Boy AFM party in Santa Monica tonight, This is important for imagi to show the teaser trailer to the film buyers and distributors. The response is very good. The trailer will be shown to public in theater very soon (within this month).

I was impressed by the big Astro Boy standee, that's huge and I'm glad that Astroboy looks really cute and appealing (someone said he is handsome as well! :O)

the environment is very dark and difficult to take good pictures there.


So far i quite like the new teaser logo design.

i will regret if i didn't go, for me, this is a good time for me to relax and have fun with other department teammates, we don't have time to talk in office not about work since everyone is busy to get movie done. BTW, I am glad that it looks good, i am glad....

Interview with AstroBoy director

A new Interview of AstroBoy director, David Brower is launched at imagi website.

"I want Astro Boy to be a really special movie, a mix of action-adventure with lots of comedy and a really emotional story at its core. It's an iconic property and deserves respect, so I don't want to give it the glib, pop-referential treatment that so many animated movies have today. Instead I want it to stand as a classic superhero origin story, something befitting the icon of Astro Boy, kind of along the lines of Richard Donner's Superman. I want it to serve as an introduction to Astro Boy for western audiences whilst remaining faithful to the lore of Asian audiences. Astro Boy is a treasured icon in Japan and so I'm working closely with the Tezuka estate to ensure I get everything right."

Warner Bros. Plan Ninja Scroll Movie

It seems the next big Hollywood trend to snap up rights to cool cartoon that came out of Japan since 1960. Already in the works are adaptations of ‘Astro Boy’, ‘Gatchaman’ and ‘Dragonball’, today we can add ‘Ninja Scroll’ (獣兵衛忍風帖) to that list.

From ComingSoon.net:

Alex Tse (Watchmen) will write Ninja Scroll, Warners Bros. Pictures’ adaptation of the classic Japanese anime feature. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way is producing along with Madhouse Pictures and Jungo Maruta.

“Ninja” is set in feudal Japan and follows a ninja who must fight eight demonic warriors in order to save Japan. The hard-R movie, released in 1993 in Japan, featured a villain with stone skin, a hunchback with a wasp nest as his hump and a woman whose snake tattoos come to life.

Having personally never seen Ninja Scroll I don’t know if it would benefit or not from a Hollywood adaptation. What I do know is that if this current trend continues, as it did for comic book movies we might eventually get adaptations of the cartoons I actually DO like, which can only be a good thing if they are treated with the same respect that comic book movies are at the moment.

AstroBoy party

We had a party today to celebrate 50% complete of AstroBoy pre-production overall... there is one year time to release date. BTW, i have no idea how much % of visdev we had completed now, more than 60%, i guess... I just know we still have a lot to do. : )

Yawaraka Atomu

Astro Boy, created by animation pioneer Osamu Tezuka, robot with a soft, adorable face, a feature that partly explains his global fame. is a superhero

But the robot, called Tetsuwan (Iron Arm) Atomu in Japanese, might be even better if he had a soft body to go along with the face. At least that may have been what a Web animator who goes by the name Rarecho was thinking when he came up with Yawaraka (Soft) Atomu, a character unveiled at the first Japan Animation Content Meeting, or JAM, last October.

Yawaraka Atomu now appears in an animated DVD series and on T-shirts. JAM invites creative ideas from ordinary individuals to help take advantage of the stock of Japanese animated content....
