Cutting Edge Conformity: November 2013

http://cuttingedgeconformity.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 26 November 2013. Tricky Dicky's Realpolitick Playing Card Deck. I've always loved playing cards. They're derived from the Tarot deck, just without the Major Arcana. Fascinating history to them. I've done a Tarot deck, but at some point I'd like to tackle it again. This deck is 60s themed. The Jokers are Woodward and Bernstein, the suits Atoms, Diamonds, Eyes, and Bombs. Saturday, 23 November 2013. The Day of the Doctor Review (SPOILERS). It's all about choice, baby! A freaky creepy otherworldly...

Cutting Edge Conformity: Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men, on writing

http://cuttingedgeconformity.blogspot.com/2015/07/matthew-weiner-creator-of-mad-men-on.html

Monday, 6 July 2015. Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men, on writing. There's a lot of good stuff in this interview. Matthew Weiner lets it all, ahem, hang out, and doesn't pull any punches. The universality of his experience is reassuring, and makes clear that, for most of us, perseverance is key:. All I can say is: Illegitimi non carborundum . Which pedants, and John Cleese's Roman Centurion, will point out is not real Latin . Another Latin word for bastard is nothus. But it is very uncommon). Over the ...

Cutting Edge Conformity: March 2014

http://cuttingedgeconformity.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 25 March 2014. John Cleese on creativity. I've always been a fan of John Cleese and the Python crew. Cleese did numerous corporate videos awhile back if memory serves. He's pragmatic, sharp as a tack and his advice is bang on. There are subtitles, so you know it must be good. Links to this post. Saturday, 8 March 2014. Graphic Novel Course Powerpoint Slides.

Cutting Edge Conformity: July 2014

http://cuttingedgeconformity.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Monday, 14 July 2014. Visual Effects Magic: Before and After. Even better than weight loss comparisons are before and after visual effects shots. Of course, weight loss might also just be VFX. These have been culled from around the internet. Plenty to chose from. Great selections can be found here, here, and here, for starters. I wanted to assemble a bunch in one spot. Think of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The opening sequence from The Walking Dead. The guy isn't even on a highway. It makes dan...

Cutting Edge Conformity: May 2014

http://cuttingedgeconformity.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, 18 May 2014. Review: Only Lovers Left Alive. A plotless drama that focuses on characters but doesn't include any not made of cardboard, Only Lovers Left Alive. Is one of the most excruciatingly painful cinematic experiences ever created. An assault on consciousness itself, it manages to feel like a ten hour plane flight in only two hours and three minutes. Sits at 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's an impressive achievement. I wanted to chew my right leg off. In the film, Tom Hiddleston plays Adam, a...
