Sassier Princesses with less to say.
As it turns out Disney may seem like its new female princesses are a positive change then the demure princesses of Snow White and Cinderella and Co., but as it turns out they have less to say! Disney princesses of the 30's and 40's had more spoken dialogue where as the princesses of current Disney productions get talked over and talked down by their princes.
The Washington Post's article also point out that in modern princess movies there are also more male roles, and think about it, there is even a whole entire film about a female lead not speaking, and falling in love with her for her looks alone. But thats another kettle of fish to fry!

VR takes to Sundance
VR - or Virtual Reality is hitting Sundance Film Festival
As you know I have quite a large interest in VR and its great to hear that its taking off! It is getting into larger festivals and showcasing some of the incredible possibilities.
There is a large selection of VR projects being shown in the New Frontiers part of the festival. Showcasing different endeavours to work with immersive media, and the immersive environments.
And now that its being showcased at Sundance hopefully it becomes more main stream!
One of the films Defrost puts the viewer inside the body of a woman who was frozen for 30 years and woken up in a sci-fi immersive adventure. Exploring the boundaries of perspective and perception that is available with this format.
Check out the selection and if you are interested in learning more about VR and immersive media, or want to create an immersive project come speak with me!

Awards Season
Its that time of year when the best of the best are picked out, though surprisingly as with every year there are quite a few films overlooked. And the Oscars is once again snubbing diversity in the industry, only white male directors are nominated for best picture and best director. As well as not nominating a single actor or actress of colour when some fantastic performances were given in Straight Outta Compton.
The Oscars have only had a female nominee in 2009, when Kathryn Bigelow did win it for the film Hurt Locker. Female directors have it tough in an industry that says the reason they are not getting the directors chair is the lack of experience, but other unexperienced directors have been given huge blockbusters like Colin Trevorrow who only did one other indie production (Safety Not Guaranteed) before getting the green light to do that and Star Wars IX. It's so bad that in the industry we have to take pride that female directors produced 2 Blockbusters this year - though they were also films based on a female audience Fifty Shades of Gray and Pitch Perfect 2, as well as the Intern.
I am in no way saying that any of those films deserve an Oscar but it does help the Industry see that these movies success in the box office proves that yes women can make movies that sell as well. Star Wars the Force Awakens also proved that a movie with a female lead and a minority lead can be the highest grossing film of all time! But there are some great female directed movies that came out this year, Suffragette directed by Sarah Gavron, seems right that the story of women's rights is told by a female writer and director, they did a great job showcasing the struggle and sacrifices made by suffragettes, its well told and a great historic drama, much better then The Big Short. Another historic drama is The 33 directed by Patricia Riggin, that chronicles the harrowing story of the 33 Chilean minners, which has all of the suspense and claustrophobic sense that U-boat and submarine movies capture like Das Boot.
Though there is at least a movie this year nominated for best picture, Brooklyn, which features a female lead and is the story is her story. Brooklyn is the story of an Irish immigrant who moves to Brooklyn in the 1950's and has to choose between Ireland and her new home. But it is a long shot for the Best Picture award especially going up against academy darlings like Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg in Bridge of Spies, and Matt Damon and Ridley Scott in The Martian.
And I am not saying that the movies nominated don't deserve it, its just that where in an industry where the discrimination is so bad that the ACLU has to take it to court, it is also reflected in its nominations. As movie makers and artist we should support not just big hollywood productions but up and coming filmmakers and crave a more diverse movie industry that tells all our stories not just that of rich white men. Take a chance and see some of these movies made by female directors and support indie movies!

Check out: Drone100 Project
Art and technology - Drones for art!
I have always been a fan of pushing art and technology and seeing what future possibilities can be for creating and expressing!
Check out what Ars Electronica did in partnership with Intel! Not only setting the world record for drones flying in sync together, they created an amazing spacial light installation timed to music, granted the end is very much an Intel advertisement, but the concept and the creation of the software and the artistic concept behind the piece is amazing. One can only imagine what it was like to be there on the ground and the humming of the drones, the 3d space, and the atmosphere must have been amazing.
Ars Electronica is based out of Austria and basically is pushing the boundaries and pioneer the artist/scientist concept with their future lab. I can only recommend following them and see what they are up to every now and then, because I can guarantee you they will surprise you and inspire you every time!

Welcome to the Video Blog
Welcome to the Blog for Video and Audio at UCA Canterbury
Hope to post here some interesting things in the world of video and audio from big productions and art installations as well as low budget tricks of the trades! As well as share somethings that are happening on campus and showcase some work. Would like to see this blog becoming a space to share things that might not fit into tutorial sessions, to explore some areas more in depth, and create a place for video and video art to digitally be showcased on the Canterbury campus!
