The Chat Noir Blog: Music and Meaning in The Gift

http://chatnoirstudios.blogspot.com/2011/08/music-and-meaning-in-gift.html

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Music and Meaning in The Gift. I always found " Howard's End. LEONARD: "I didn't think people like you existed except in books. And books aren't real.". HELEN: "They're more real than anything! When people fail you, there's still 'music and meaning'". This theme accompanies the main character's daily routine, as he carries on with his role as a part of the "big machine": wake up, jog along the freeway, put on a suit, go to work. The "De...

The Chat Noir Blog: 3D movies. 3D cinema?

http://chatnoirstudios.blogspot.com/2011/12/3d-movies-3d-cinema.html

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Friday, December 2, 2011. 3D movies. 3D cinema? Yet another round of discussion about 3D films in the machinima circle of Facebook reminded me to finally write up what I thought of writing many months ago when I saw Roger Ebert’s blogpost presenting Walter Murch’s point of view on 3D films. ( Link. But in any case, Murch’s most interesting remark by far is on the notion of immersion and perspective:. I am skeptical about the potential of 3D as an artistic.

The Chat Noir Blog: March 2011

http://chatnoirstudios.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. In my previous post, I brooded over the curious penchant of people seeking fear and terror in theater. Equally bizarre is their willingness to watch movies that make them cry. Isn't crying, almost by definition, the most negative experience a person can have? So how is it possible that tearjerkers sell tickets? This bio-pic about the cellist Jacqueline du Pré. From there, the story unfolds as Jackie slowly grows into the world-famous ...

The Chat Noir Blog: Musings on Machinima, Part 1: Do we need “Machinima”?

http://chatnoirstudios.blogspot.com/2014/01/by-k.html

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Saturday, January 4, 2014. Musings on Machinima, Part 1: Do we need “Machinima”? When S and I started making our little movies using The Movies. Game at the tail end of 2005, the term “machinima” was something we considered irrelevant to us. The word sounded geeky, rather esoteric, and even snooty for some reason. Neither did what we were doing seem similar enough to machinima exemplars- like Red vs. Blue. Whether people liked it or not, “machinima”...Game&#821...

The Chat Noir Blog: April 2010

http://chatnoirstudios.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Saturday, April 17, 2010. Ivy Film Festival, after thoughts. The fact that I am still in school working towards my third graduate degree has its benefits: my student status qualified me to enter our movies to the machinima section of Ivy Film Festival. We had no big ambitions, and thought this was just a chance to get a few more views. But before we knew it, we were sitting in a dark lecture hall at. Do be bold and original. Do be efficient in story telling.

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Monday, January 20, 2014. Musings on Machinima, Part 2: Looking at Machinima through the eyes of others. In this post, I try to make sense of what I’ve read about machinima—written largely by its outside observers—and to broaden my perspective. Machinima as a viable low budget filmmaking option. I seem to remember the days when machinima was heralded as a new production platform that would revolutionize filmmaking. Back in June 2000, Roger Ebert famously wrote:.

The Chat Noir Blog: The novelist and the composer

http://chatnoirstudios.blogspot.com/2011/02/novelist-and-composer.html

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Thursday, February 10, 2011. The novelist and the composer. The production of our next machinima project, The Gift,. Has taken off nicely and been steadily gaining altitude. This project is especially dear to me, although one may argue you feel just the same way for each and every project during the production. Initially, the protagonist of The Gift was an aspiring novelist. Eventually, in a major revision, Phil (named after Philip Carey. From Of Human Bondage.

I finally gathered all the Death in Venice original music files and sent it to TMOA. You can listen to it here as well (find the widget on the right side). :). There is also a 'revenge' theme, associated with Sebastian, and a 'love' theme - prominently played near the end of the movie. Labels: Death in Venice. Sunday, October 4, 2009.

The Chat Noir Blog: June 2010

http://chatnoirstudios.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

The Chat Noir Blog. Kate and Sherwins Blog. Monday, June 21, 2010. After a long six months of production, which was about twice the time we thought it would have taken, we finally released "Incubus" yesterday. We were glad to keep it under 20 minutes, considering that - before writing the script - we had thought it would be about 10 minutes long. Saturday, June 19, 2010. Here is our trailer for MachinExpo 2010. It was Kate Fosk, the executive director of the MachinExpo. Machinima Expo 2010 Trailer. We fi...
