Elton John, Dua Lipa - Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) (Official Video)

Some will be happy to know that irl Elton John is just a nice normal bloke and nothing like the spoilt weirdo he for some reason wanted to portray himself as in Rocketman.

If you go round his house the first thing he does is offer to make you a cup of tea.

He's also based http://imgur.com/a/VqxPs1c

Hi Reg 👋

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-11-05T01:00:24+00:00

I like his music too and they'll probably play it more when he's dead. I mean, he's not really doing anything these days. This could have been sampled.

Melodic_Programmer · 2021-11-05T00:22:20+00:00

SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-11-04T22:34:43+00:00

Never give up on your dreams, man. Maybe it'll come out he diddled underage boys and he'll suicide from shame.

IkeConn · 2021-11-04T22:13:19+00:00

Well I'm not getting my hopes up that Elton will accomodate me as Cornell accomodated you.

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-11-04T22:08:24+00:00

I used to feel that way about Chris Cornell.

IkeConn · 2021-11-04T21:59:40+00:00

I have had to listen to this short little shit since the 1970's. He will never retire or die just to piss me off.

She does have some solid music and talent though. The Smiths, I don’t understand the appeal at all except for young girls think their cute and brooding, or at least they were. Morriseys so annoying.

I know right! I find her "music" sounds like she's just making it up on the spot, poorly. Much like The Smiths. Yet, with enough repetition those dissonant sounds become recognizable tunes.

JasonCarswell · 2020-10-10T20:16:11+00:00

Not available (in Canada?). In The Sugarcubes (an LSD reference) she didn't pluck her eyebrows. A friend worked on her Hunted video (and said she had some nasty cold sores going on). I was walking downtown on Broadway, Manhattan with my wife, I passed some girl who I knew sitting at a cafe who smiled at me. I couldn't remember where I knew her from. Highschool? Toronto? And then half a block later I realized... Holy fuck!!! That was Bjork!!!

zyxzevn · 2020-10-10T14:05:21+00:00

She started as singer in "the sugarcubes".

wuzizname · 2020-10-10T10:44:13+00:00

Typical Bjork song. It’s like they compose the music for one song and Bjork sings the lyrics and melody from another. Not her best work but the video is cool.

wuzizname · 2020-10-10T10:41:23+00:00

Thanks for the appreciation. I never know if a post will even get noticed or not. So often the ones with the most effort get the least notice and vice versa.

I loved my parent's 60s and 70s music, as well as the classical to disco to very early electronic (Tomita, Vangelis, etc) and world music. I still have much of their vinyl, with my own.

Enza · 2020-02-10T04:57:41+00:00

Awesome, informative post, thank you for sharing! I love art, and I love a-ha! I used to hate them ironically for some reason (prolly cuz my parents loved them and i hated all of their music when i was younger), but really got into them in the past year.. they're great. As a kid, I even used to listen to this and never realized it was a cover of them lmao.

That mini YouTube series you shared on the making of the song/video is really good!!

JasonCarswell · 2020-01-19T22:25:40+00:00

Didn't know they were doing shorts now.

Just looked up an old CGI classmate and friend there, Max Bruce, to see what he's been up to. Not bad! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0115545/

I was in LA staying at his place looking for work when I got the call in '96 that had me go on an entirely different path, landing me in mid-sized NYC animation studios for a while.

Monos_Muertos · 2019-05-09T19:48:47+00:00

Um...I'm 50. B&W televisions were far rarer at this time than color. 1981 was the era of more than one TV in most houses. In fact, the Commodore 64 was pretty common too. My family had a TI99 that plugged into the TV, and we were working class, so yeah...the 80's totally wasn't the 1950's.

JasonCarswell · 2019-05-09T16:56:27+00:00

The reflections are ray tracing. I didn't think they had it that early. I don't know why. Maybe because I know it can get computationally heavy the more you do.

Instead of light bouncing around and entering your eye or camera. Ray tracing starts at the camera where every pixel is traced outward to calculate it, and when it reflects off an object, that too has to be traced and calculated. Every reflection doubles the calculation at least.

This might explain it better if mine doesn't make sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics)

I get impressed with CGI when I don't know how they do it. I can usually guess and narrow it down to a few ways, but I never know for sure.

That's why I'm "impressed" with their clouds.

magnora7 · 2019-05-09T12:43:10+00:00

Yeah the reflections off the water are the most impressive part to me

JasonCarswell · 2019-05-09T05:47:14+00:00

I think most people had colour by then.

I'm more impressed with the clouds and ray tracing.

The moirés and shark fin are funny though.

Tom_Bombadil · 2019-05-08T22:19:45+00:00

That's impressive for 1981! Most people didn't even have color TV at that time.

Too much drift in the animation. A common flaw of CGI. Would've been better like Pixar's pose to pose.

Also the lines of action are weak. Possibly due to being 3D, but that shouldn't really matter if they're strong.

Both of these are evidence of relying on computer interpolations for in-between key frames.

The toon shader is okay but there's no thick or thin line quality to speak of that was in the classic toons.

" My abstract animations investigate the metaphysical features of reality. They are designed to stimulate archetypal associations and invite the viewer to make personal connections to the visual and auditory experience without any reliance on narrative or spoken language. […] My work is abstract by nature and uses non narrative film making techniques. The undercurrents of my work point to themes centered around time, cycles, the concept of infinity, and the similarities between artificial and natural systems. In a world where technology and artificial systems are becoming more prevalent, my films are a reminder that they are both a product of nature. "

This is certainly not the best animation. Nor is it the best version of this track IMHO.

But it is noteworthy.

Ken Nordine had a voice of silk and recorded many classic spoken word tracks among other things.

"More", directed by Marc Osborne, is an Oscar nominated, touching Kafkaesque consumer culture animated allegory. Need I say "More"?

Music : "Elegia" by New Order

I think this should have won the Oscar rather than "Bunny", the politically backed win that launched the Blue Sky Studio into doing features like "The Ice Age". Technically Bunny was good, but More was more.

This psychedelic animated electronica music video with world-beat influences features profoundly striking original imagery and strong cautionary technocratic and environmentalist themes losing nothing by omitting subtlety for overt sharp cultural criticism.

I wish to ask for your help finding an absolutely brilliant animated short film that has evaded all my searches.

Who are the artists and/or what is the name of the animated short film that concisely explained the Iran Sandinista Contras Affair?

It was made in the late 1980s or the early 1990s and I'd guess it was around 7 minutes long give or take a few. Among the mixed-medium collage they used maps, photos, newspapers, photocopies, ripped paper, objects, paints, and illustrations animated as a serious man narrates in accented English over sounds and music. It is a profoundly beautiful animation that is far from cartoony like the animated American Dad Oliver North. One of the repeated motifs features Catholic rosary beads with crucifix dangling, rotating, and cyclically morphing into and back from a dangling bullet bandoleer with AK-47. More specific details fail my memory.

Video links would be HUGELY appreciated, as would any other details.

JasonCarswell · 2019-01-07T00:15:00+00:00

Note how they omitted the CIA importing HUGE drugs into the USA, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

See "Kill The Messenger" 2014 movie for a rare pretty good dramatic summary of part of that story.
