True Skin: Full Version

By Tom Saunter | Published: October 11, 2012

Earlier this year I blogged the teaser for an upcoming short film by the team at N1ON, which looked like a really interesting work-in-progress. Yesterday, their film ‘True Skin’ was released to the world, kicking off a bidding war as studios move to capitalise on its unique visual style in a full-length feature, that will most likely […]

Psychic children break out of an oppressive institution and run wild with their powers. What more could you want from a music video? Oh, how about some brilliant music, too?! Then here you go: And the rest of M83’s album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is exceptional. It’s been the soundtrack to my last couple of weeks. In […]

Tintin & The Uncanny Valley

By Tom Saunter | Published: May 17, 2011

I wonder if Spielberg, Jackson, Wright, Moffat, Cornish et al have considered the mystery of the ‘Uncanny Valley’ in their latest CGI film, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn?
