Psychorealism

Another film I saw clips from from the SIGGraph stuff was a film titled, Ryan I'm not sure what to say about it really. I think peganthyrus and postvixen would both really like it (and probably most Puzzlebox visitors) but it might hit a bit too close to home for Peggy.

Anyhow. A good review with lots of photos http://cgw.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=Articles&Subsection=Display&ARTICLE_ID=208290

And the official website with a couple of clips. (What's on the siggraph DVD is longer but I'm told it is still not the full film) http://www.nfb.ca/ryan/

Anyhow. Really interesting visuals if entirely depressing subject material.

Also found

woodlander found a copy of Frank which was also on the Siggraph disc and neatly surreal. This one loses a lot on the little bitty web version though. It's much niftier on a big screen. A lot of the surrealist details are lost. A lot lighter than Ryan though.
