Here you have one of the shorts of the project "Phillips parallel lines" that I mentioned a few days ago. The VFX were made by some colleagues in a little boutique in Barcelona called Big Lazy Robot (http://www.biglazyrobot.com), those guys rock!
It seems that Warner and Fox are very interested in making a full length movie of the film. I hope they will do it because I, definitely want to see more!
Philips is collaborating with RSA Films, (Ridley Scott Associates) to produce Parallel Lines, a follow up to the Carousel short film project designed to launch the Philips Cinema 21:9 television. Philips chose the five most groundbreaking treatments on the Parallel Lines theme from submissions by 45 directors in the RSA fold. The films, to be released in April 2010, explore the most popular genres of filmmaking including drama, action, animation, sci-fi and thriller, and were shot on location in Uruguay, London, Moscow, China and South Africa.
The five films will be released online atwww.philips.com/cinemaon 8th April 2010. The films will be shown using the Philips’ ‘Ambiplayer’ – a special online media player which recreates the effect of Philips’ unique Ambilight technology, plus picture quality and sound quality of Philips TVs. The Ambiplayer will have special interactive features allowing users to interact with the immersive light, picture and sound experience.
For those who missed the Carousel short film project you can watch it here. I was blown away when I saw the film, you must check it out.
This video was published a while ago but I still want to share it here in case somebody missed it. This is one of the most inspiring CG videos ever. The autor is a Spaniard called Alex Roman and he did the whole thing by himself during spare time which is, if possible, even more impressive.
Every single frame is a master piece and a delight to watch. Playing it in HD is fully recommended. Enjoy!
