Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn

So I got around to seeing the next mocap-y amazing sfx movie of this year, which actually was really good!

I have always loved Speilberg, he has embellished my mind with films, with a filmography like his you can wonder why has made all sorts. However his best movies are the tales that let us escape modern day problems and enter a world where adventure takes root.

This is unequivocally Tinitn, the original books are escapist stories. The most interesting point to mention is that a french review of Raiders of the lost Ark back in '81 said that the indiana jones films were like Tintin. Hergé even said that the only director that can faithfully adapt his stories was Speilberg, and he wasn't wrong.

This is a charming film, there isn't much I could comment about any negativity. The biggest complaint is the design of the characters, which I am fine with, the characters in the books were't exactly supposed to be beautiful looking people. The idea I believe they were achieving was a sense of caricature, proportions on the face were exaggerated. But I liked them, they remained similar to the characters in the books as well as the faces of the actors portraying them.

Overall really enjoyed this film, definitely one of my favourites this year and it has one of the best action sequences I have ever seen for the last decade. Really recommend!

Oh and mocap on this film is good, they are getting the hang of the medium, theres not many uncanny valley moments which is great.

Oh since I haven't posted in a while, here's another one of me drawings!

This was a drawing I did over the summer, when I was really bored.

I chose different kinds of sea creatures to make my mash-up monster. The hands are from 2 types of Starfish, Bat Star and The Crown of Thorns (you can guess which is which). The Snout is of a Wobbegong Shark, a species which prefers to camouflage itself rather than hunt, kind of a self conscience type. The ears are from the fins of a Lionfish and his dorsal fin is a regular shark fin. For a little touch I added the sea anemone to his shoulder, thought it would be an appropriate place.

AND, thats not all...

Stay tuned for more monstrous creatures...........

There ya go

that's Nathan
