TEDxNashville

2010-09-22T13:05:00.000-05:00

Just got out of the most recent TEDxNashville TEDxChange session. It wasn't as great as last time, I believe the sponsor was Healthways and it felt heavily like a sales pitch for them sometimes. But, learning about ShadeTreeClinic.org and NashvVegi.org in Nashville was great. Shade Tree Clinic is a volunteer run clinic in east Nashville for the uninsured and they have a community garden as well it appears.

One of the speakers at today's session was recently one of the big TED talk. Here is his talk there.

The Goon sketches...

2010-09-14T16:59:00.000-05:00

Gorillas

2010-09-13T13:52:00.000-05:00

I've been getting into gorillas lately, I wish the Nashville Zoo had a some. Here's a quick sketch I just doodled out. Still trying to figure out hair. I'm also working on a forensic sculpt of a gorilla skull. It's a neat science kit I found at flea market, brand new, but for a 1/4 of the retail price. I'll post progress on that soon.

Starting some sketches

2010-03-14T23:33:00.007-05:00

Hey,

Long time no see. I've stared doing some greyscale one brush sketches in Photoshop, I find it quiet fun and enjoyable. Here are a couple I've done at the coffee shop Ugly Mugs lately.

This first one was originally of the guy sitting in front of me with me trying to let on that I was trying to sketch him, then I decided to some some side and background, so it was entirely thought out, but it was my first free hand PS sketch, it was fun.

This next one is of Atomic Robo from the comic of the same name

Well, I finally got an SLR. I found a Canon EOS Rebel XTi at a pawn shop and ponied up. I've had such a grand time photo assisting lately, and felt re-inspired so, here's my first image with some photoshop tweeking, I'm just trying to figure out the camera and how everything works. Lots to learn, but I'm excited to be learning as always

Terrence Malick & Dinosaurs?

2009-03-03T11:49:00.004-06:00

Yeah, that sounds pretty good to me. If you really know me, you know one of my favorite directors is Terrence Malick and that THE THIN RED LINE borders on one of my favorite films of all time. Now there's news that Malick is working on something that'll have dinosaurs in it along with Brad Pitt and Sean Penn and has WETA'a Richard Taylor as an consultant, no matter how these things add up it sounds good to me. Here's more at Ain't It Cool News.

The Lego Minifig Timeline

2008-10-31T12:33:00.005-05:00

I loved Legos growing up, I'm not sure why I still don't get some new ones and build something...anyway Gizmodo has worked with Lego to painstakingly collect and catalog almost every minifig ever produced into a photographic timeline. You will be able to see the evolution of the iconic figure, from the very first sets in the 70s that you saw in our exclusive tour of the secret historic Lego vault to the latest and greatest ones in 2008. Sensory overload ahead.

Rambrew

2008-10-23T17:08:00.006-05:00

The Nashville Jewish Film Festival is this week. A print got shipped to us from Israel, but for some reason they covered the box in movie posters. One was Woody Allen's latest Casandra's Dream and the other was Rambo. Both in Hebrew. Cool. I like how it looks like he's really been through war.

Alien Lifecycle block print

2008-10-23T16:48:00.007-05:00

Kustom Thrills Tattoo shop had a Monster Art Show opening Sunday. I made a three block prints of the Alien lifecycle. Here's my process.

First some sketches that I went over with with a charcoal pencil.

Then I laid the drawings on the blocks and tried to rub the images onto them, this kinda worked. Then I outlined them in more detail again on the blocks.

Here's the Alien egg carved out.

Here's the facehugger and my work space.

Egg and Facehugger blocks.

Alien warrior block.

All three.

She's always buzzin' just like neon...

2008-10-09T12:50:00.009-05:00

My assignment from New Zealand yesterday was to take pictures of downtown neon signs. I did this during the day so most aren't on, but I'm going to go back and take night time pictures for comparision. Also driving there, there we're lots I missed, but I'll make a mid-town picture set to. Here are few from Downtown Nashville, most Brodway and 2nd Ave. Except the Boscos's one is in Hillsboro Village, and iPhone cam caught the refresh on the neon which was interesting.

Debate 08 continues

2008-10-08T12:07:00.008-05:00

Here are some more pics activities of yesterday's debate outside and around Belmont, they're here backwards in chrological order, 'cause that's how you add on Blogger. But there's a crowd outside the filming of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews tent, an Obama rally of about 3000 people parading up Wedgewood Ave and Belmont Blvd, there's me and Michelle at Hardball and a kid in a mighty backpack that kept smashing into her and just folks milling around...

Debate 08

2008-10-07T11:09:00.008-05:00

This morning after getting to the theatre I walked over to Fido to get coffee and then decided to walk on up to Belmont the site of the Presidental Debate Town Hall Meeting 08. Here is my report so far:

Looks like everything is starting to get set up on "Issues Alley". Ken Bernstein, of Bongo Java's Doyle & Debbie show bought me a Obama peace sugar and frosting cookie. There are fences, police and secret service people everywhere, mostly it seems like they're looking for coffee and asking each other "You need some coffee?"

News trucks are scattered about and people setting up tables are trying to stop their red, white or blue plastic table clothes from fluttering away.

I got an Obama bumper sticker at the Tuke for Senate table, I'm not sure who Tuke is, but his seemed to be the only place for free swag so I wore his sticker til I got to the corner of Belmont Blvd so as to not hurt his wife's feelings.

There are a lot of charities in the word, heck I work for one, and a lot of them are for very worth while causes like saving the kids. There are also ones that preserve history, again like where I work, that preserve where imagination was fostered and creativity gave birth. SUPERMAN was birthed by Siegel and Shuster, and the home in Cleveland, OH where they created Superman is in threat of being torn down forever...watch this video please

The Archive

2008-08-21T11:37:00.004-05:00

Reposted from Yewknee.com. "The Archive is a mini-documentary about Paul Mawhinney, the owner of the world's largest record collection. Unfortunately he's also trying to sell it. The documentary is a great look at a man obviously very passionate about music." Have a look, it's good stuff, especially living in Nashville and being so close to music.

Open Yale Courses

2008-08-20T13:06:00.003-05:00

OPEN YALE COURSES - I had read about these and then forgot about them, but stumbled across them today. Yale University is putting several of it's class on-line for anyone to watch. Open Yale Courses provides free and open access to a selection of introductory courses taught by distinguished teachers and scholars at Yale University. The aim of the project is to expand access to educational materials for all who wish to learn. I watched a Philosophy lecture on the fear of death today, it was great. I especially love the quote Professor Kagan ended with, a quote from from Kurt Vonnegut's book, Cat's Cradle.

"Let me close then with an expression of this thought. This is from Kurt Vonnegut's book, Cat's Cradle. This is a kind of prayer that one of the characters in the novel says--is supposed to say--at the deathbed."

"God made mud.
God got lonesome.
So God said to some of the mud, "Sit up."
"See all I've made," said God. "The hills, the sea, the sky, the stars."
And I, with some of the mud, had got to sit up and look around.
Lucky me, lucky mud.
I, mud, sat up and saw what a nice job God had done.
Nice going God!
Nobody but you could have done it God! I certainly couldn't have.
I feel very unimportant compared to You.
The only way I can feel the least bit important is to think of all the mud that didn't even get to sit up and look around.
I got so much, and most mud got so little.
Thank you for the honor!
Now mud lies down again and goes to sleep.
What memories for mud to have!
What interesting other kinds of sitting-up mud I met!
I loved everything I saw [Vonnegut 1963]."

GURPS

2008-08-01T13:42:00.002-05:00

Excuse me.

Started playing some GURPS (Generic Universal RolePlaying System) last night...old skool..took 3 hours just to do the accounting to make the characters all pencil and paper style. I'm an adjunct archeology professor at UC Berkley my partner is an alocholic Indian guy who was in WWI. Our adventure takes place in 1920, kind of an Indiana Jones style adventure...with one of us being the brains, the other the brawn. Hopefully we actually get to play next time.

I got a thing in the mail that's obviously a timeshare sales deal, but I get a free cruise trip, anybody ever do these things? I got no problem listening to a sales pitch and turning them down for free food, travel and lodging.

Rest in Peace Stan Winston...

2008-06-16T14:23:00.004-05:00

Reports are trickling out the the legendary creature effects creator Stan Winston has passed away. Stan had his hand in creating some of the most memorable creatures, legends and effects of the current modern era of film. Stan's work added to the pantheon of legendary film creatures like the classic Universal Monsters and the legendary creatures of Ray Harryhausen, one of Stan's personal idols. Winston won the Oscar four times for his work on Aliens, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, and AI and most recently worked on the brilliant visual effects in Iron Man creating the practical Iron Man suits. Winston was easily one of the greatest special effects visionaries to ever work in Hollywood and has created some of the most memorable special effects in cinematic history. This is truly a great loss and an incredibly sad day for Hollywood.

In addition to the four films that he won Oscars for, Winston worked on The Thing, Predator, The Monster Squad, Congo, Galaxy Quest, Big Fish, and Constantine. You can see much of his fantastic work over at his studio's official website: StanWinstonStudio.com.

His legend, vision and attention to detail will be greatly missed.

Radiers: The Adaptation...

2008-06-06T15:45:00.006-05:00

Last night at the Belcourt we hosted the Tennessee premiere of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. In 1982 three 12 year old boys made a shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the lost ark, it took them 6 years to finish. We had the privilege of having filmmaker Eric Zala, one of those "boys" to be in attendance for the screening. The crowd was very energetic and gave Eric a standing ovation at the end of the film before his Q & A. It was a great evening, and a hilarious and an inspiring experience.

In his adult life, Eric had been working at EA sports as Quality Control Director for 10 years making 6 figures, but wasn't satisfied, so to the behest of his childhood buddy Chris, one of the other boys who did the shot-for-shot remake, he left his job at EA moved back to Mississippi and is pursuing making an independent film with his friend, they've finally finished thier script and are shopping it around next week. Also Producer Scott Rudin (No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, ect.) has bought the life rights of the boy's story of the making of the Raiders: Adaptation.

Here's some pics from last night, plus a picture of them as kids, a pic with Spielberg and the letter Spielberg wrote them after he saw a bootleg VHS copy of the film : O

Here's me and Eric Zala, and then a pic of the boys when they were kids and the letter Steven Spielberg wrote them.

The best movie opening-credit sequences ever

2008-04-10T23:19:00.003-05:00

From EW.com

"The movie opening-credit sequence has become a lost art; so many movies today, especially action blockbusters, are content to plunge directly into the action and wait until the end to show you who made the film. Now, Screengrab has compiled a list, complete with YouTube clips, of the 12 best opening-credit sequences ever. It's a good selection of these mini-movies that expertly sets the tone for the feature that follows. A lot of credit buffs' favorites are here, including the ones for Scorsese's Raging Bull, Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, and David Fincher's Seven and Panic Room. Of course, you can't talk about film credits without mentioning the genre's master, Saul Bass, who revolutionized the opening credit sequence in the 1950s with his jazzy, fragmented-animation segments for such movies as The Man With the Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder. (Which gives me an excuse to embed this clip, which has been making the rounds this week, of what the Star Wars credits would have looked like had Bass designed them.)"

Star Wars computer graphics, no not those...

2008-04-02T12:47:00.003-05:00

Here is a look at the creation of the Death Star trench approach in the original "The Star Wars" the effects we're probably created in 1976. And he used Knobs!

"The computer graphics for the first Star Wars film was created by Larry Cuba in the 1970s at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) (at the time known as the Circle Graphics Habitat) at the University of Illinois at Chicago."

The ability to have press sensitivity is just so awesome. Just making little highlights with varying contrasts is so great to be able to do. I can't wait to be super proficient with this thing!

Top 100 greatest 3D movies

2008-01-31T11:02:00.000-06:00

CGSociety and 3D World present a rundown of the Top 100 3D Movies as selected by the CG community. These are based on votes by visitors to CGSociety and exclude films like Blade Runner - although undoubtedly influential - becuase they featured only traditional effects. To qualify for inclusion on our shortlist, a movie needed to meet three criteria: to have a running time of 60 minutes or longer; to have received a full cinematic release;and to include a significant element of 3D animation or VFX work, as opposed to matte painting or compositing.

They've also have a neat time line that show release dates.

Do you know what the first feature film to use computer graphics was, do you really??

Can you guess what the number chosen film was? I was a little surprise just from listening to the influences of some of the CG lover folks I know (maybe they're a little older than they think), but it makes complete sense and is deserving of a number one spot.

I've added an Amazon.com wish list button to the side there so all the thousands of people who come to thie blog will know what to get me.

Y: The Last Man to Become a Trilogy?

2008-01-30T12:14:00.000-06:00

Superherohype.com reports the following:

"In an interview with the USA Today about the last issue of Pia Guerra and Brian K. Vaughan's "Y: The Last Man," the director of the comic's upcoming adaptation, D.J. Caruso (Disturbia, upcoming Eagle Eye), says it might become a trilogy of films:

Caruso says he has had "preliminary discussions" with Shia LaBeouf to play Yorick.

"For me, thematically, the most important thing and the reason I want to do this is … I don't want to say it's the end of the innocence, but it's actually a man-child who has to become a real man now," Caruso says. "I think it's a really simple, beautiful theme, but at the same time, the movie's really pop-culture entertainment."

While the original plan was to squeeze the entire series into one movie, Caruso says the film will cover the first 14 issues of the comics. He adds that this opens the door for a trilogy."

This is great news, Y: The Last Man is the best thing written in pop culture in the last few years, a single movie couldn't encompasses the whole thing...though I'd be happier with a maxi-series on Showtime or HBO, a trilogy makes me feel much better.

Hooray

After years of trying, this blog's purpose has become a success Adam now officially East Tilk right over HERE , and I have officially figured out how to log back in to my account

Still he resists.

Two new find "posts" have arrived in my email that would be excellent blog posts. But yet, he resists posting them. Perhaps he does not know how to log-in...or perhaps he fears it. I must investigate this issue further. Anyways, here's what happens as Adam Eats Tilk this week...

The FUTURE is a mere hop, skip, and a jump away. We have the opportunity to part of the first milestones in a new era. Our time is soon...very soon. Stereoscopic movies shown at over 100 frames per second is coming and quick on it's heels is the same technology for home use. I have seen it. I have seen prototypes in the Emerging Technologies at Siggraph and it is nothing but pure awe.

And then this..

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Back to Work We Go!
The Pixar team of Ed Catmull and John Lasseter, who will be taking over feature animation production at the Walt Disney studios, is apparently wasting no time attempting to restore energy and morale there. Word spread Tuesday on websites devoted to animation that Catmull and Lasseter plan to bring back to the studio some of the animation talent who were let go or who resigned in the wake of Disney's decision to abandon hand-drawn animation and focus on computer-generated animation instead. The two reportedly have specifically singled out the veteran writer/director/producer team of John Musker and Ron Clements as ranking high on their list of persons they wished to rehire. On Tuesday it was announced that Disney had signed composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid) to a multipicture deal and had assigned him to write five songs for the upcoming live-action/hand-drawn animated film Enchanted. On Tuesday, the website o-meon.com ("for grown-up geeks") quoted a Disney animation staffer as saying, "We're just so damn happy all of this is happening. ... We just can't believe that everything we've been trying to tell [Disney management] for years if finally coming true. We finally have a chief executive in Bob Iger who understands what creativity means to the company!"

So far it's not working...

Today in my in-box was this, maybe he fears this strange new technology known as Blogging...he was ever resistant to MySpace and now it is one of his true loves, outside of the Triassic Period.

Why this is here...

2006-02-17T11:43:00.000-06:00

Why would I create a blog and name it after one of my best bud's favortie past times,? It's simple really, becuase in essence Adam (not Tilk) likes to send emails everyday with fun facts and pictures, essentially he blogs without blogging, so I'm just making it official...let's see if it works
