Little Red App/ Rood-Appje

Let the images of this parody speak for themselves, very difficult to translate even with google translate.

A modern fairytale about the sometimes ridiculous use of internet and social media.

A remake is a film or television series that is based on an earlier work and tells the same, or a very similar, story.
The term "remake" is generally used in reference to a movie which uses an earlier movie as the main source material, rather than in reference to a second, later movie based on the same source. For example, 2001's Ocean's Eleven is a remake of Ocean's 11, while 1989's Batman is a re-interpretation of the comic book source material which also inspired 1966's Batman. In 1998, Gus Van Sant produced an almost shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho.

Location shooting is the practice of filming in an actual setting rather than on a sound stage or back lot. In filmmaking a location is any place where a film crew will be filming actors and recording their dialog. A location where dialog is not recorded may be considered as a second unit photography site. Often filmmakers choose to shoot on location because they believe that greater realism can be achieved in a "real" place, however location shooting is also often motivated by the film's budget. Many films shoot interior scenes on a sound stage and exterior scenes on location.Before filming on location its generally wise to conduct a recce. A word used in media production, derived from "reconnoiter". It is a pre-filming visit to a location to work out its suitability for shooting, including access to necessary facilities and assessment of any potential lighting or sound issues.

 

Making of an animation

A little peek behind the scenes at what went into the making of the music video for Michael Andrew's "Bubble In Space." Hint: There was A LOT of drawing and A LOT of scanning...

In cinema, a making-of, also known as behind-the-scenes, the set or on the set is a documentary film that features the production of a film or television program. This is often referred to as the EPK (electronic press kit) video, due to its main usage as a promotional tool, either concurrent with theatrical release or as a bonus feature for the film's DVD.

 

 

Home Movie Day

Home Movie Day (established 2002) is an annual event that celebrates amateur films and filmmaking. It is a worldwide event, held at local venues all over the world and organized locally by volunteers. Home Movie Day events provide the opportunity for individuals and families to have their films inspected and to see and share their own home movies with an audience of their community. The event is an opportunity to discover the personal, historical, and social importance of home movies and for individuals to learn how to best care for them.

Castle and cats

Cat is a symbol for spiritual power, freedom, love of liberty and bad
luck in Japan. On the contrary the black cat is linked to evil cunning
in the Celtic world and with harmful djins in Islamic world.

In Europe, the cat is honored as an exalted soul and at other times it
is associated with witches and the occult (especially the black cat). It
is therefore seen as a symbol of superstition and bad luck.

Future super 8 mm

Super 8 has been quiet for 30 years, but a small worldwide following of around 2,500 filmmakers is keeping the medium alive. Following traditional film photography, instant photos and vinyl records, this medium is now poised to take a ride on the retro express. Kodak has introduced a new Super 8 camera and reintroduced Ektachrome color reversal film. Ferrania (Italy) and Adox (Germany) are creating new film stocks for Super 8. Other companies are also researching and developing Super 8 cameras and film. The time has come to provide an information resource to support these developments. A portal featuring modern responsive design, which functions on home computers as well as smartphones.

 

 

Dunkirk 'Behind the Frame'

Filming for the World War II action thriller Dunkirk is set to move from France to the Netherlands next week, as the fishing island of Urk takes centre stage. The blockbuster film focuses on the rescue of some 335,000 soldiers who had been cut off by the German army by 800 little boats sent over the channel from England. According to the Volkskrant, a crew of 200 and 70 extras will be ready to film from Monday at a location some five kilometres from Urk in the IJsselmeer. The fishing village itself does not feature in the film – but its harbour has been taken over by boats and props, including part of a British bomber, the paper says. In addition, all the empty houses in the village have been rented for the crew. The production is the biggest to take place in the Netherlands since Deventer ‘starred’ in A Bridge too Far in 1976, the Volkskrant says. 

HAL cruise

Holland America Line was founded in 1893 as the Nederlandsche-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij (Dutch-American Steamship Company), a shipping and passenger line. It was headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and provided service to the Americas. The company was formed as a result of the reorganization of an earlier company, Plate, Reuchlin & Co. The company's first ship was the original Rotterdam, which sailed its 15-day maiden voyage from the Netherlands to New York City on October 15, 1872. Other services were started to other new world ports, including Hoboken, Baltimore and South America. Cargo service to New York started in 1809.

During the first 25 years the company carried 400,000 people from Europe to the Americas. Other North American ports were added during the early 20th century.

Preview


A preview performance refers to a showing of a film to a select audience, usually for the purposes of corporate promotions, before the public film premiere itself. Previews are sometimes used to judge audience reaction, which if unexpectedly negative, may result in recutting or even refilming certain sections based on the audience response. One example of a film that was changed after a negative response from the test screening was 1982's First Blood. After the test audience responded very negatively to the death of protagonist John Rambo, a Vietnam veteran, at the end of the film, the company wrote and re-shot a new ending in which the character survives.
